Somatic Therapists in New York, NY

I believe the relationship between a client and therapist is sacred. I think therapy is a reciprocal process, and I have learned a great deal of life lessons from my clients. I customize my approach based on my client's needs, values, and/or willingness to gently explore a new framework. There are benefits to talk therapy and immense benefits to somatic based practices. I invite my clients to tune in to the ways their bodies communicate with them on a daily basis and to use that information to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

I am a somatic Gestalt therapist and Jungian analyst with 10+ years of experience, and a faculty at Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. I practice a body-oriented, relational, and culturally sensitive approach, specializing in working with survivors of dysfunctional upbringing, acute and chronic trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, women's issues, spirituality, and psychedelic integration.

I’m so glad you’re here. I know that seeking out therapy sometimes takes courage! I am committed to creating a space for you and I that is free from judgment, rooted in compassion and guided by empathy.

If you are struggling with stress, sadness, rage, overwhelm, and loss, I can help. As you move through your current struggles, would you like to work together for connection, healing, learning, and liberation? Would you like to explore all aspects of your identity and how they are uniquely connected to community, culture, family, history, and structural power? Would you like to tell your story and have someone bear witness to the telling? With a warm, empathic, listening, and embodied ​style, I focus on identifying wellness strategies, creating communities of support and healing while connecting people to necessary resources.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or grief that affects your ability to function and connect in relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed and stuck, like time is passing you by? Perhaps you get caught in ruminating loops of worry or find yourself feeling despairing and empty. Do you continually distract and insulate yourself from your feelings? Or wonder if life could be better if you could feel everything less intensely? If you work with me, we can first work on regulating your emotions so you can feel and function better. Then, we can explore the unconscious and intergenerational dynamics that block you from moving forward.

My initial goal is to alleviate suffering associated with depression and anxiety. I provide a safe psychotherapy environment, allowing for exploration of problems, and leading to change. I bring integrity, compassion and flexibility to my work, and have a direct, warm style. If we work together, you can expect to gain a better understanding of yourself and of meaningful people in your life. Consequently, you will be able to identify and move out of areas in which you feel stuck, and become freer to enjoy life.

I provide an integrative individual counseling service. I am interested in supporting clients to make healthy changes and growths in their lives through deepening their awareness of themselves and the world around them. Through this unique therapy relationship we will address current and past concerns from a Gestalt model. We will work together through problems in the here and now, including mindfulness, somatic awareness, meditations, laughter, parts work, and stress reduction practices. I also believe in empowerment in therapy and I believe that the greatest source of healing already exists in each of us as human beings.

You have everything you need. You possess abundant resources that are available to support you, within you. I believe therapy is relational alchemy and provides a mechanism for harnessing resources. As a therapist and clinical consultant, I provide a space for connection and healing with people who want to be active participants in their personal growth. I see myself as a partner and collaborator in our work together. I will support you to develop trust in yourself and gain clarity about how you want to live.

​Dealing with difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations can be challenging and isolating. I find so much value in people struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as those dealing with grief, relationship, and family issues. I also really enjoy working with people who struggle with body image and are looking to develop a better relationship with food, and a better relationship with the self in general. I am constantly learning from my clients who are the expert of their own lives. Additionally, I utilize an advanced evidence-based approach to cognitive behavioral therapy and my holistic approach aims to empower you!

It's one of the most disheartening experiences to sit with a therapist who doesn't understand you or your lived experience. Somehow you wind up talking in circles, never getting to the root or the heart of the issue, never finding resolution or feeling better. I am here to listen, to care & to hear that essence beneath your words which language can't always capture. I am here to help you see what you may not be seeing clearly. I am here to help you connect to your body & feel your wholeness. Hi, my name is Vee. I’m a Holistic Psychotherapist & it'd be my joy to support you in reaching your mind-body-spirit-soul & relationship goals!

I relate to client struggles through the lens of real-world experience. During my 30 year career supporting others through workplace and life challenges as a leadership and executive coach in HR/organizational and leadership development roles for corporations and nonprofits, I found my calling as a psychotherapist in how “what we do,” intersects with “who we are." My approach is eclectic and intuitive, tailored to your unique needs, and drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including neuro-informed somatic practice, and strengths-based perspectives.

Are you feeling disconnected? Are you looking to improve your mood day to day? Do you have pain from your past that you'd like to work on? Working through these things in therapy can be incredibly transformative and rewarding, and they can also take a long time. It is important to find someone who meets you where you are at and that you feel connected to them. I am committed to providing a warm, accepting presence so that you can feel inspired to take risks and explore your inner world.

Do you feel uneasy, tense, or unsafe in your own body? Trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, or a nagging feeling or muscular tension that seem unrelated to your emotional state? I know that feeling; that sensation that we try to ignore but just won’t go away. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the stress of everyday life or the aftermath of trauma, your body is the container that holds it all—thoughts, feelings, sensations—all our lived experiences that make us who we are. Some of these experiences can help us thrive, feel safe and connected and some can make us feel stuck, uncertain, and reactive.

My unique training in both behavioral and somatic therapies allows me to craft a treatment plan with your input that best fits your needs. I believe in utilizing the wisdom of the body , the rich information present in emotions, an examination of how you show up in the world behaviorally, and the way your mind has learned to protect you in order to guide you toward resiliency and improved coping with daily life. You will learn coping skills through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and somatic resourcing. We talk and problem solve when needed and somatically process when indicated.

I work collaboratively with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, or struggles in their relationships. I use a strengths based, relational approach to therapy, helping my clients understand healthy and unhealthy relationship patterns in their lives and how to change them. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and EMDR which I use with clients who have experienced trauma or are feeling "stuck" in their lives. I work collaboratively with you so that together we may discover your path to a healthier, happier and fulfilling life. I work with families, couples and individuals.

These have been difficult and destabilizing times, and many of our lives, and our ways of being in the world, have been changed in profound ways. With 20+ years of experience I provide compassionate and collaborative individual psychotherapy to pre-teens, adolescents and adults. Historically I have worked with a diverse clientele throughout all stages of life and with predominantly marginalized communities. I often treat folks struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress and mood disorders as well as difficulties related to relationships, life transitions, identity and belonging.

I work with artists and creative individuals of all types in a therapeutic setting to help uncover deep-rooted issues that prevent sustained happiness. Psychotherapy grants us a neutral space where we can release outdated patterns, explore current parts of ourselves, and integrate new ways of adapting without fear. I offer a collaborative approach using a relational lens tailored to individuals needing guidance in the areas of: relationships, sexuality, women's issues, career, life transitions, loss, and recovery.
