Male Therapists in New York, NY

As a native New Yorker, born and raised on Long Island, living in the city for the last 10 years, I have been connected to the people who choose to live here. A bustling city where, as Frank Sinatra said so well, "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere". I believe this to be true and I believe it to be easier with the work of psychology.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

I enjoy working with a wide range of age groups of people who are struggling with a variety of issues. My goal is to create a welcoming and non-judgmental environment for you to feel at ease to discuss whatever is troubling you. I will also be actively engaged, helping you when needed to identify what you may be feeling. I believe that psychotherapy is a collaboration between therapist and patient.

I am a practicing clinician of over 20 years offering psychodynamic and cognitive-behavior psychotherapy to adults. CBT focuses on the development of concrete problem-solving techniques and is often ideal for problems that are highly acute and/or relatively circumscribed. Psychodynamic therapy examines emotional conflicts in relation to broader aspects of one's personality and life history. Its objective is to help individuals identify and overcome fears which may be unconscious and sometimes counter-intuitive. I also sometimes borrow concepts from meditation as well as sports psychology.

Working in schools and foster care settings for years, Sam is an expert in child and adolescent therapy. He utilizes two of the leading therapies, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). With CBT, Sam helps clients change unhelpful thought processes and behavioral patterns and aids clients in bravely facing their fears. While with DBT, he helps clients learn better emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. He is passionate about building connections and assists clients in finding strengths and skills within themselves to work through any struggles they might be experiencing.

Who is the person beneath your negative self-talk and turbulent emotions? If you're struggling with self-sabotage and distress, I can help. As partners in this process, you bring the expertise of knowing yourself, while I bring the expertise in treatment. Together, we will learn what gets in the way of you living the life you want to live and help you get unstuck. I work within a deeply humanistic, action-oriented, evidence-based framework (DBT, CBT, and ERP) that effectively confronts depressive, obsessive (OCD), and anxiety-based thought patterns and habits through emphasizing your known strengths and discovering the hidden ones.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds who wish to explore any aspect of their experience in a safe and productive environment. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory and I have training in evidence-based interventions such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. How I work with individuals depends on their situation, interests, and strengths. I attempt to create space for people to explore their wishes, relationships, personal and family history, culture, and goals.

John P. Carnesecchi, LCSW, CEAP is a seasoned clinician that treats people of all ages. A client is usually struggling but feels connected enough with me as their therapist to speak openly and freely about their experience. They can accept feedback with an understanding that we are both on the same team. When we touch on something out of their comfort zone, I hope they recognize they are safe and can stay engaged in the process. Together, we push past the barriers preventing them from feeling better, and they gain a better understanding of themselves to meet their potential.

Many of the stresses and conflicts my clients face can be due to life’s experiences and losses or can come from within. Stress and conflict can lead to disintegration of relationships with our partners and our children, and even in how we view ourselves. Strengthening coping skills, emotional connection and intimacy can help repair fractures, increase compassionate understanding, and build closeness. Focusing on positive growth, shifting well-engrained patterns, and building greater self-acceptance can create lasting change and happiness.

This in turn will lead to your ability to make necessary changes or accept life circumstances in new and meaningful ways.

Many of my clients have been high achievers their whole lives but are now struggling to deal with the pressures of work and everyday life, especially since Covid hit.
