Imago Therapists in New York, NY

Do you struggle with relationships, career, family, loneliness? Unfulfilling relationships, substance use, depression/anxiety and career challenges are often the catalysts that bring many people to my practice. While painful, these motivators to therapy can lead to lasting change. It is my strong belief that it is the relationship or therapeutic alliance between client and therapist that ultimately heals. I conduct psychotherapy through a Gay/LGBTQ-affirmative and a culturally humble framework. ​​

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

Christina Bradley, MS.Ed., DBT, CBT, REBT is an experienced mental health professional determined to be a service to people of all ages and backgrounds looking to improve their quality of life. While we will explore and understand the past, we will definitely move forward as a team.

My practice integrates my training in relational and psychodynamic approaches, Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness, which I tailor to meet your individual needs.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is choose to make a change in your life. While taking this first step toward change can feel scary, I'm here to help support you through the journey. Whether you are struggling with anxious thoughts, relationships, religious conflict, gender, sexuality, or other challenges, you have the ability to take hold of your life and make those changes you may want or need to thrive. Through our work together, you will learn to confront the challenges you face in a healthy way, and learn to navigate them safely and productively.

Putting yourself first does not come easily to everyone. However, it is actually the number one action you can take for a happy and successful life. I know how challenging it can be to prioritize yourself, since you were taught from an early age that others’ needs were more important than yours. When you attempt to put yourself first, you are considered “selfish." When you attempt to speak up you are considered “difficult.” If you are often made to feel wrong for having needs, and you are unable to set boundaries with others, then how can you expect to trust yourself enough to feel good, and respect yourself?

Are the following thoughts familiar to you? "I feel so alone" "They don’t understand me" "I need help". Do you struggle with not feeling good enough or believe that you're failing to move forward?

Couples I work with are often looking for support getting back on the same page; or navigating a consensual non-monogamous (open) relationship. I’m a queer woman who provides therapy to those desiring a change by actively working to change patterns they find themselves stuck in.
