Attachment-based Therapists in New York, NY

My name is Heather Mauro, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker with twenty-five years of clinical experience. I enjoy working with adults as they move through various life stages. I focus on issues such as Adoption, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and Parenting. I utilize Attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Family Systems, Narrative, and Strength-Based Therapies. I believe strongly in the power of connection, connecting to your authentic self, establishing meaningful relationships, and igniting your passion.

With over 30 years experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and teaching parenting skills, my attachment based approach works to help you overcome obstacles that block your potential so you can reach your goals. Children need a safe and playful space to work through difficult issues. Expressive arts approaches and DBT methods are effective when words are not enough. My compassionate and down to earth style examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships and symptoms of trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in both clinic and private practice settings. I have a wide range of clinical interests and expertise including trauma/bereavement, autistic spectrum disorders, parenting issues, and individual adult relational psychoanalysis. I am trained in parent-infant psychotherapy as intervention at the earliest ages can prevent/lessen the impact of potential risk factors that can derail a child's development. I integrate Stanley Greenspan's DIR/Floortime model with attachment-based play therapy. This integrative approach addresses both the child's social-emotional and sensory cognitive functioning,

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience in providing therapy for individuals and couples. I seek to create a space that is safe, non-judgemental and authentic, and am present with you as a helper in your process of healing and change. My scope of work includes relationship issues, challenges with emotional and physical intimacy, anxious cycles of thinking, feeling disconnected from one's self or others, feelings of ‘stuckness’ and/or difficulty in life transitions. In therapy we will practice tuning into your feelings, thoughts and beliefs that can help guide you.

You know that feeling of disconnection between your head and your heart? When you're struggling and know that the feedback you're getting from trusted loved ones is logical, but for some reason it just isn't making you feel better? If you could just "think" or "do" your way out of pain, you probably wouldn't be here. Emotions always show up for good reason - even when they don't seem to fit. God created the spectrum of emotions to be felt, seen, heard, and understood. When we don't have a safe place to explore them, they get ignored, buried, stuck, and confusing, and they can no longer do their job. This creates disconnection.

I have 30 years of experience as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and provide a warm and safe environment for patients who want to change how they think and feel about their lives and their relationships. I work with young adults, adults, and couples. I am trained in Relational/Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) (a short-term treatment for depression which focuses on relationships) and attachment-based EMDR for the treatment of Trauma. I believe in the ability of individuals to make changes in their lives and to transform themselves through insight, relationships, and through their own innate abilities

Understanding the dynamics behind the repeating processes in your life, whether they are symptoms or undesirable patterns, is the first step for meaningful and durable change. I work with both adults and children who have different forms of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or stressful life transitions. I also work with children who present with developmental or behavioral issues.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

Congratulations to you for taking this initial step forward into your wellness journey. Through compassion, empathy, and attention, I provide a safe space for you to flourish and to grow as you address and heal your wounded parts. By establishing a warm and welcoming space, my goal is to help you to reach tangible goals and to have meaningful transformation. Together, we will do the required work to improve relationship to oneself so you can show up as your true authentic self,

Adulting is not easy, and trust me when I say, I wholeheartedly get that. Throughout my personal journey, I've navigated anxiety, depression, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, relationship challenges, and the overwhelming sense of feeling lost. Through dedicated therapy and healing efforts, I've gained valuable tools and practices to face life's everyday hurdles and strive towards becoming the best version of myself. Now, I am enthusiastic and devoted to helping you on your own journey, ready to support you every step of the way. If you find yourself experiencing any of the above struggles or just feeling a bit 'bleh', I'm here for you

As a New York and New Jersey licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, identity, and acculturation.

I'm not your average trauma therapist. Hi, I'm Staci and I'm a modern psychotherapist for post-grad "Quarter-Life" New Yorkers. Triggering events and major life transitions you're facing are leading you to feel stuck, lost, isolated, worried and stressed AF. I help you FINALLY get a grip on your anxiety so you can unlock your full potential. My east-meets-west mind-body approach is modern, relatable, collaborative. I meet you where YOU are and work with you from here to create a safe, sacred space for you to reflect on your strengths and challenges, gain insight, and move towards meaningful and lasting change.

Many of us spend a long time running away from the true essence of ourselves. We abandon ourselves to be accepted by others or praised by a society that wants a specific version of us. This ultimately leads us with pain that we find various ways to numb. Together, we can explore, feel, and heal this pain.

People often come to psychotherapy feeling stuck, angry, wound up, or adrift. Beneath the surface are important and unmet needs. By recognizing these, we can start shifting patterns that get in our way and communicate more clearly with others. I work with children, adolescents and adults. My approach is curious, warm, and actively engaged. I draw on my extensive training in psychodynamic and attachment-based interventions, initiating change by understanding the past experiences that shape our reactions and patterns in present-day relationships. I also incorporate emotion regulation skills and mindfulness techniques, as appropriate.

My training is based in trauma and its impact on the mind, body, and sense of self. I believe in the power of storytelling; in the stories that have shaped our lived experience, and the ways in which stories help us to make meaning of the world around us. Much of life is a paradox, and within the therapeutic space, we build the capacity to manage opposing truths, and when needed, challenge the stories that inhibit us from feeling more fulfilled and connected to ourself and others.

It can feel daunting to begin therapy. You may know you are struggling with your relationships, work, or personal fulfillment yet it can feel difficult to seek help. In my practice, I will work with you in a safe space to explore and address the difficulties the prevent you from living a fulfilling life. I utilize eclectic approaches including psychodynamic, relational, existential, and attachment-based theories. You can learn more about my practice at www.hattabtherapy.com
