Psychoanalytic Therapists in West Village, New York, NY
In a society that teaches us that we have an array of choices, why do we feel so constrained? In a culture that encourages us to follow our passions, why do we feel our hands are tied? And in a city that celebrates a multiplicity of voices, why is it so hard to find our own? It is the invisible fetters - those hidden inside us - that often restrict us most. The goal of psychotherapy, as I practice it, is to free ourselves of these restraints.

People come to see me for lots of different reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a crippling addiction. Some are having difficulty in their relationships with others. Some are going through a difficult time - a mid life crisis, the loss of a job or a loved one, or a frightening medical diagnosis. Most are tired of repeating unconscious patterns that were learned long ago that continue to be played out in spite of their best efforts. All are seeking a happier, healthier life and a way to achieve that. Psychotherapy is the best place to invest in oneself and work toward these goals.

Acknowledging a problem in your life is an important first step toward greater freedom and happiness. If you are reading this, I assume you may be ready to make the courageous decision to address it. Studies have shown that talk therapy can be a highly effective means of dealing with life problems, and of achieving meaningful and lasting change. While each treatment is unique depending on particular needs, psychotherapy may be understood generally as a collaborative process that works to clarify the deeper sources of your suffering, and to enable the constructive choices that can put your life on a new foundation.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you can feel challenging. It is important for you to feel safe, comfortable and understood. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard in a genuine way. Within this relationship you can begin to see patterns in your life where perhaps you feel stuck. It is my belief that by understanding where anxiety, depression and grief may be stemming from in your life, you can make shifts toward more successful relationships and a life with more fulfillment.

Have you achieved what you set out to do but found it’s not made you as happy as you’d hoped? You may not know exactly what that updated life looks like, but you sense the possibility... Maybe there's a wish for deeper friendships or a more rewarding primary relationship; artistic ambitions not yet realized; a sense of purpose that's as yet unused… The frustration of gifts and capabilities that aren't actualized or recognized…. Humans vary widely in the particular forms of their desires, but we all seek to increase what makes us happy and feel demoralized when the way seems blocked.

We all seek happiness and want to rid ourselves of suffering so that we can enjoy our lives. Yet this seemingly simple goal is often the hardest one to reach. I strive to help people identify those things in the present and in their past that keep them from reaching their goals, and to creatively change patterns of feeling and thinking that get in the way. I have a special interest in working with non-conformist people in creative professions.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves in order to lead happier, more productive and more stable lives. I work well with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders as well as those dealing with relationship issues who are having difficulty managing the everyday stressors of their lives, which impede on their capacity for productivity and satisfaction. While psychotherapy and psychoanalysis allow individuals to more deeply explore their emotions, behaviors, and relationships, I also integrate skills training, coaching, and coping strategies that allow one to function more effectively in interpersonal, professional, and creative situations.

I am a therapist/drug counselor/dating coach that is warm and caring. I start with developing an authentic relationship, then proceed to processing your feelings and thoughts with added behavioral tools. Helping you feel accepted, understood, and supported so we can explore and organize experiences and create new ways of coping. My practice is focused on treating young adults who may be facing challenges in their personal, social, or dating life. Therapy is one way of helping yourself not only with discovering the root causes of your behavior, but also to identify one's truth and inner reality.

It must be overwhelming to see all these names. How to choose? And decisions tend to be harder when you're not feeling at your best. My suggestion: see who you're drawn to, then have a consultation with two or three people. It's so important to find the right match. Most good therapy takes place in the connection between patient and therapist. You need to feel you can share who you really are with one of us. Therapy is about emotional honesty, with yourself and others. Easy to say, harder to do. But it's worth the work.

People seek therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed and when their usual coping skills aren't working. Maybe you're feeling stuck in your work life or relationships, or struggling to find a sense of well being. These difficulties can lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety and addictions, to name a few. I envision therapy as a space where two people can focus together on whatever is causing you pain. I believe this process can lead to greater self-awareness, effectiveness, and personal freedom, as your choices become more conscious and your sense of self deepens.
