Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in New York, NY

Welcome! My virtual teletherapy space supports adults, teens, and families living in New York. I specialize in working with clients impacted by trauma and other adverse childhood experiences. As a trauma survivor myself, I have taken my own self-healing journey that has led to the development of my whole-person approach to health. I aim to provide my clients with tools that can support self-healing and building a more authentic relationship with the authentic self.

The stress of trying to manage it all when it feels like you're drowning is exhausting! I specialize in working with women feeling overwhelmed by relationship issues, parenting challenges, a devastating loss, or traumatic event. My clients often struggle with feeling depleted; they're tired, their thoughts keep racing, the anxiety's overwhelming, and they can feel very stuck and all alone with their pain. It's a lot! And when life stressors occur it's ok to not feel ok, it's human. Some who are used to doing things on their own may question why healing would be any different and so continue to suffer. You don't need to go it alone.

I am Deepa Saharia, an Indian-American therapist specializing in relational and narrative therapies. In our time together, we will piece together the intricate puzzle of your identities, patterns, and narratives. Throughout our therapeutic journey, we will explore the layers of your unique cultural landscape, so that you can accept yourself holistically. As a queer-identifying therapist, I help those who have hidden parts of themselves to reclaim their capacity to reconnect and realign with their true self.

Whether you are struggling daily, are in a period of transition, or you are wanting to deepen your personal awareness and insight, I offer a non-judgmental and creative space to work toward your goals. In our work together, we will develop and strengthen your functional and emotional tools, to help you move out of survival mode and into the life you want to be living. We’ll identify your needs, work to understand what is causing suffering and blocking you from your ideal life, and redefine your relationships to yourself, others, and your environment, helping move through painful emotions to create emotional peace and freedom.

I like to think of therapy from a Body-Mind-Spirit perspective, a holistic approach that invites all our parts into the healing process, creating opportunities for change and growth. I believe therapy is a way for individuals to connect and access their own wisdom to make the changes for a life that is most inspiring and fulfilling. I combine elements of Western psychotherapy, Neuroscience and Eastern traditions. I draw from 20+ years of meditation, yoga, spirituality, and coaching background as well as extensive training in traditional and psychosensory psychotherapy: IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Havening Technique, CBT

I’m an IFS therapist and coach dedicated to helping passionate professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders find their aliveness, unlock their full potential, and live with joy and purpose. I work with those among us I call the Walking Wounded. You may thrive in some areas yet struggle to survive in the psychospiritual dimension of life. You put on a brave face day in and day out while secretly fighting battles with your inner demons. You've ticked off all the boxes and still experience no real joy, freedom, peace, or love. Your insides don’t match your outsides. You believe at the root of your suffering lies unresolved trauma.

Even at the hardest moments in life, everything you need for happiness is already inside you. My goal as a therapist is to work together with you in whatever struggles you currently face, to uncover your naturally occurring strengths in order to live a full and meaningful life. Perhaps you’re not living the life you want to be living. You’re unhappy, but you’re not sure why. At times, we can feel lost, numb, and disconnected from ourselves. There can be many reasons for this, and through our work together, we will understand what these are and how to reconnect, to live a vibrant, fully embodied life.

I am a Licensed Social Worker in New York and New Jersey, and graduated from Fordham University where I earned my master’s degree in social work. I am passionate about helping my clients get to know and navigate their inner world. I work with individuals who have struggled with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. In addition, I enjoy couples work, focusing on communication, negative patterns in relational conflict, and issues of infidelity. I decided to go back to school to earn my doctoral degree in social work at Capella University.

My name is Katherine Wheeler and I'm an LCSW as well as a TBRI Practitioner. I love to help families gain hope, heal, and then thrive. I specialize in trauma recovery and attachment injuries, with a particular focus on adoption and foster care. I am adept with many modalities of therapy and will tailor care to your strengths and needs. All of my work is attachment-based and sensory-rich. You will hear TBRI and IFS language sprinkled throughout, even if that's not the primary model, because I love them so much!

I work with adults & couples who feel anxiety, overwhelm, and shame (sometimes like an 'imposter') in their lives, as well as with those who want to learn how to have healthier conflict in order to feel more secure in their romantic relationships. I help you better understand your emotions, practice boundary setting, balance control with acceptance, and learn how to re-regulate your nervous system. In addition to therapy, I also offer financial coaching to individuals/couples who feel overwhelmed by money stress and want to feel more secure in their financial wellbeing by exploring the emotional & psychological aspects of money.

There's a therapeutic movement going on that questions the way our culture pathologizes the self. I believe that what gets diagnosed as mental illness is often understood better as an adaptation to adversity that's no longer helpful.

Have you been feeling tensed, sad, fearful, disconnected, alone, and easily triggered? Does life feel like a grind, relationship unsatisfying, and you are stuck in the same pattern? Your mind is powerful but your body holds onto the unresolved past. We need a mind-body approach to make lasting changes. I work through a relational, non-judgemental, and trauma-informed lens. I will help you find the root cause of your current struggles, identify and transform limiting thoughts and self-sabotaging behavior patterns and process the unresolved past that hold you back through EMDR, IFS and somatic approach.

I work collaboratively with couples & individuals to support them in building secure relationships, navigating uncertainty, managing distressing emotions, and becoming more resilient and present in their lives. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where you can feel welcome to explore and share your experiences for growth and healing. I utilize a values-based approach, helping you to identify your authentic motivations to navigate life with meaning and purpose.

I believe we each have a core part of ourselves that is wise, confident, and desiring of secure connection with others. Single event or repeated traumatic experiences can distance us from this core part and we can find ourselves using coping mechanisms, such as excessive substance use and other self-harming behaviors, that no longer serve us or our relationships. Identifying the needs we are desperately trying to meet and exploring alternate ways to meet them can disrupt the cycle that keeps us feeling defeated and lead us towards more fulfilling relationships with ourselves and those we care about.

Everyone goes through difficult times. Maybe you're going through a life transition, experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, or having relationship issues. We provide integrative, holistic psychotherapy to individuals and couples. We treat a broad spectrum of issues, and specialize in anxiety/perfectionism, relationships, and perinatal mental health. All of our therapists believe in the mind/body connection and work holistically to connect and create new awareness and growth. We have several psychologists at different fee levels to fit your financial needs.

As a therapist and a human, I work from a place of openness, curiosity, compassion and introspection. I have experience with psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness, behavioral therapies, and client advocacy and empowerment. I believe in the power of an integrated approach. In my experience, therapy is best guided by the patient’s unique hopes, desires, fears and needs.

In my work as a Mental Health Counselor I have seen change in clients, real change. Whether you are being held hostage by a debilitating addiction, a paralyzing depression, or you just need to sort out life's many challenges, I am here to listen and support you. Becoming a therapist was a natural extension of what I was doing in my first career; I worked in the social services field for many years. My empathic, person-centered approach will help us build a collaborative relationship. In my work, I implement various techniques such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and Internal Family Systems.
