Somatic Therapists in Ridgewood, NY

I deeply believe in our innate drives toward healing. At times we need support to find our way along this path; this is where therapy can help. I employ a collaborative approach to develop curiosity and compassion for one’s whole self. In therapy we tune into the body’s wisdom, foster acceptance of our present selves, and reshape narratives of our past.

Hi, I'm Jenny. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed or deeply concerned about life situations, change, or a loss. Maybe you don’t even know how you feel but know it is time to reach out for help. Maybe you are missing something in the past or feeling not up to the future. You are not alone in this. These moments are some of the most important in a life, and it is easier to face them with support. That is where therapy can start. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” -Carl Rogers.

I provide supportive, strength-based therapy for individuals managing various mental health challenges. Whether you have specific goals or are new to therapy, I will support you through self-discovery and instigate exploration of the world around you. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, holding a culturally inclusive space as my top priority. I hold specialties in working with individuals with depression, anxiety/panic, low self-esteem, complex trauma, racial identity issues, and relationship/social transitions.

Inclusive education has taught me the value of holistic well-being. I prioritize creating a sanctuary of trust where clients feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed, free from judgment. Therapy, to me, is not about changing oneself but about understanding and examining unique patterns and behaviors. Having immersed myself in diverse cultural communities during my international schooling, I understand the importance of embracing and empowering individuals from all social backgrounds. As a person of color, I recognize the systemic challenges faced by marginalized communities in New York City and aim to provide a supportive space for all

With over a decade of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping individuals foster self-reflection and emotional expression. I guide clients through life transitions and help them process a diverse range of emotions, thoughts, traumas, and complex relationships that may cause distress. For instance, I assist clients in processing feelings such as worry, shame, guilt, fear, and sadness, while also facilitating acceptance, trust, hope, forgiveness, accountability, and a sense of enoughness. My practice is also trauma-informed, ensuring that the impacts of past traumas are validated & safety is formed.

I offer a warm, empathetic, judgment-free space for adults and couples. This space will invite you to explore all the parts of yourself while finding more compassion and curiosity towards the parts you struggle to connect with. I am devoted to working collaboratively with you, to uncover more of who you are and what you strive to be.

My goal in therapy is to help you build a healthy life that feels good, grounded, and free. My practice is both sexuality and gender-affirming with a belief that you are the expert in your own story. I approach therapy as a judgment-free collaboration, using compassion to examine the stressors in your life and curiosity to build connections between the past, present, and future.

I specialize in working with individuals who have ADHD, offering tailored executive functioning coaching to enhance your organization, time management, and emotion regulation skills.

My goal is to support you at your own pace, fostering personal growth in a collaborative and non-judgmental environment. My approach is holistic, client-centered, innovative, and trauma-informed.

I work with adults and couples to explore the life experiences that have brought them to the present moment. I particularly enjoy working with artists and creatives to help uncover deep-rooted issues that prevent sustained contentment in their life and work. Each person comes with their own unique history which shapes how they perceive and respond to the world around them. As an eclectic practitioner, I use a psychodynamic, humanistic, and mindfulness-based approach to help you look back in order to move forward. The goal of our work together is for you to find grounding and fulfillment in your life and relationships.

We are going through unprecedented challenges, and reaching out for help is the first step toward feeling better. My clients value my non judgmental approach to care, whether it is exploring relationships with substances, emotions, other people, or the self. Co-dependence, anxiety, depression, identity, sober curious – more than just search terms and buzzwords, these are the main struggles my clients share. Whether it is exploring how trauma lives on in current relationships, identifying better ways to manage drinking post-pandemic, or setting boundaries with family around changes in identity, I can help.

Please call me Billy! I am a clinical psychologist in telehealth private practice, with almost fifteen years' experience. My clients are often burdened by trauma, grief, and stress. They are wondering if it's even possible to feel better. In therapy, we approach this question thoughtfully and deeply.

Do you have relationship anxiety or OCD and are nervous to be misunderstood in therapy? Have you made your rounds with talk therapists and not made the progress you imagine is possible? OR, are you a parent who is looking for play therapy for your child that will bring results faster than traditional play therapy? Well, you are BOTH in the right place!

My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based and trauma-informed care. I am conscious of the fact that marginalized communities often bear significant forms of trauma, stemming from discrimination, violence, and the numerous faces of oppression. As a minority individual aligning with several communities, this understanding has fueled my dedication to studying and practicing various modalities and techniques, such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive, Humanistic, and Integrative therapies. With this, our sessions will be tailored to your needs, pace, and goals.

I see therapy as a partnership where we co-create a space that fosters healing, exploration, and growth. In this space, we will work together to help you gain a better understanding of your relationship to yourself and to others. My approach will be tailored to your specific needs through various modalities. These may include considering how early life experiences have shaped who you are today, understanding how to bring awareness and attention to various emotional experiences, or learning how to examine and hold the many different parts of ourselves that make us who we are.

You are someone who puts one foot in front of the other to get through the day; maybe you are someone stuck in an environment, relationship, or moments that need change.

Being able to come forward in therapy is no easy feat. I believe that people have an intuitive and inherent power to recognize their own self-advocacy and self-empowerment. Every person deserves to discover and develop their own sense of self on their own terms.
