Therapists in Washington Heights, New York, NY

I get the anxiety and the "otherness" that you feel. Whether stemming from childhood experiences or from adolescent and adult trauma, your memories inform how you interact with the world. My multi-cultural experience and approach have taught me that there are many ways to look at the world and oneself. Your life story is unique, and together, we will explore how to bring about desired changes in your relationships. Therapy, when client centered can be a life changing experience. I invite you to discover your inner strengths and your sense of agency. I am here to accompany you in your journey.

Reaching out for help takes courage. Whether you’re struggling with a relationship, your career, a life transition or a loss, I offer a non-judgmental and empathic therapeutic partnership. For the past 20 years, I have been honored to be part of individuals and families brave journeys, no matter what the challenge.

Are you at a time in your life where you are ready to heal intentionally? Healing intentionally involves being aware of one’s trauma and triggers while learning forgiveness and acceptance. My goal is to support you during your healing journey by providing emotional, mental, and physical support. The treatment approaches that I utilize are client and solution-focused while working collaboratively to help achieve the best possible outcomes.

Seeking therapy can be an overwhelming and confusing process. There are often many personal issues that drive our need to seek help, which are not easy to bring up, and may have never been brought up before at all. From trauma to legal problems, sexuality to substance use, and everyday stress to severe mental illness, sometimes all we need is for someone to sit with us and help us solve the problems that we don't believe we can talk about with anyone else in our lives. The only necessary starting point is the willingness to explore what brought you to seek help in the first place.

Throughout my 20 years as a therapist, I've had the privilege of assisting numerous individuals in managing and overcoming the challenges of stress, anxiety, and depression. My journey has also been deeply enriched by extensive experience in helping people work through grief, loss, and trauma. Whatever struggles you're facing or improvements you're striving for, I'm here to create a space where we can openly and honestly explore your concerns without any judgment. I deeply believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. My ultimate aim is to empower you, guiding you towards a happier, more successful, and meaningful life.

Welcome to my page, I'm so glad you're here. My name is Dr. Ray and I have worked with a variety of clients whose needs included anxiety and depression, trauma and childhood experiences, behavioral issues in school, LGBTQ identity exploration and safety planning, challenging relationships or rebuilding relationships, and so much more. I approach these situations from a place of safety, exploration, and collaboration so we can build your therapy goals.

I work with couples struggling with honest communication, reunification, infidelity and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing depression, stress, anxiety and loss in building new behaviors, routines, and ways of thinking to better deal with life's challenges.

I am currently accepting new clients. Starting therapy for the first time or re-initiating therapy after a break can be daunting; but most things worth doing involve some risk. Many of my clients are quite successful, but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their life such as self-confidence, mood, relationships, or sleep. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period of your life, relief from anxiety, rest from your struggle with insomnia, regained security after a traumatic event, healing after a loss, or simply deeper self-knowledge: Therapy is a risk worth taking.

Have you felt stuck in a pattern of self-defeating or unhelpful behaviors or relationships? Are you wondering why that is, and how you can go about changing it once and for all? I believe that a deeper understanding of yourself leads to meaningful life changes, and I will be your partner in this transformation. My work is steeped in psychodynamic tradition, although I also incorporate elements of other approaches when clinically appropriate. While I enjoy working with patients from all walks of life, I have also been focusing my clinical work on treating creative professionals and addressing the special challenges they face.

Our exposure to stress and trauma is more common than we let on. What we carry within us already, whether through our experiences with racism or discrimination, childhood upbringing, loss, illness or other life events, also informs our repetitive ways of thinking and behaving that may not be helpful to our mental well-being. Despite the prevalence of trauma, we also have the capacity for resiliency. My goal is to tap into this strength by offering the support, skills and interventions that can increase our sense of purpose and thrive.
