Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Scarsdale, NY

The psychologists in my practice have extensive clinical experiences that include working with individuals of all ages including: children and their families, from newborn to young adults; adult clientele; and the geriatric population. We have extensive experience conducting psychological and psychoeducational assessments with children and adolescents. My practice provides psychotherapy and psychological evaluations to individuals with presenting issues such as general adjustment difficulties, anxiety disorders, depression and mood disorders, trauma, and behavioral disorders and ADHD.

My goal is to help you achieve a healthier mind, body and relationship with yourself and others. I work with clients to help them understand the reasons for the development of their problems and support them in utilizing their strengths to live a more meaningful and healthy life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over twenty years of experience, I provide counseling to adolescents and adults struggling with a range of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships. I practice psychotherapy from a relational perspective and use cognitive behavioral techniques when appropriate.

Therapy can have a profound impact on a person’s life and overall well-being – offering assistance and guidance in uncovering and healing past wounds, and transforming ways of seeing and interacting with the world. Therapy can serve as a way to gain insight into oneself and ones environmental influences, as well as provide a deeply reparative relationship and process.

I start with listening and seek to cultivate a perspective that enlivens, enlightens and unburdens. I use an integrative psychoanalytic approach founded in curiosity and collaboration to address problems relating to trauma, depression, anxiety or self-esteem that can undermine ones ability to thrive interpersonally, creatively, sexually or professionally. Whether it's a life-change, a search for meaning, creative blocks, frustration with the quality of relationships or something else, I will meet you there. Through listening and talking, we will explore internal experience and how it impacts relating to oneself and others.

I offer compassionate, non-judgmental treatment for adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD and substance use issues. Using research-based techniques, I help clients create a toolbox of skills to use in times of distress, and provide a warm and supportive environment for self-exploration and growth. I am an Assistant Psychologist and Instructor in Psychology at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

You are tired of feeling stuck and not in control of your own emotions. You are tired of living in your head and worrying about everything that could go wrong. The frustration you feel with yourself is mounting and you want to stop repeating patterns that are holding you back in life. Feeling a sense of trust and safety has always been a challenge for you and it has taken a toll on your relationships. I'm here to help. I offer you a safe place where you can make sense of your past and look toward the future. A future where you feel empowered with an understanding of who you are and how to move forward.

Are you or your child experiencing depression/anxiety, relationship issues, school or work-related difficulties? Or have you or your child experienced trauma? I specialize in these areas, and may be able to offer assistance. I also have experience with case management and advocacy, and do consult work at schools/organizations (workshops/trainings).

Welcome. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience.

I see my role as a facilitator to uncover the root of problems with the goal of living a more fulfilling life.

Sometimes it feels as if life is just too much! Everything feels wrong and you just don't know what to do. All you want to do is give up, not get out of bed or crawl back in if you already have. Do you worry about everything and feel no sense of direction. Are your emotions getting in the way of everything that you would like to do. Are you having problems with family and friends? Did you always imagine yourself doing more with your life? Or do you not know what to do with your life? Does it bother you to hear, "Oh you'll snap out of it" or "Porque no pones de tu parte?" (if you are Latinx)

Specializing in working with artists, celebrities, public figures, teens, and families. Jamie Karia is a licensed Psychotherapist (LCSW), and Life Coach who has over 20 years of experience helping others.

I take pride in not being a “robotic” therapist. I personally believe being asked question after question will ultimately shut down a client and possibly worsen their anxiety about therapy or in general. I am able to effectively work on all issues while creating a comfortable and laid back environment for all my clients where they do not feel pressured. However, I will appropriately challenge you if I am observing oppositional tendencies, which are hurting your treatment goals; do not be nervous about being challenged, change and improvement require being challenged and getting out of your comfort zone!

I bring warmth, compassion, humor and empathy to the therapeutic relationship, and I honor and prioritize the development of trust as a necessary foundation for successful treatment. I will create a comfortable atmosphere where you can feel safe and empowered to share your thoughts and feelings freely without fear of judgment. When working with me, you will be able to identify your strengths, gain a deep understanding of the themes in your life, and gain insight into past experiences, relationship patterns, and unhealthy coping skills that may be keeping you stuck.

Feel like something is holding you back from your potential and goals or like you aren't able to access your true self? Are you craving connection, meaning and deepening? Life stressors or transitions may feel overwhelming, or you may be feeling stagnant/stuck and unable to attain goals. Life situations and circumstances that challenge you are often the most rewarding and formative; yet adapting and managing your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in collaboration with a seasoned therapist can often make the process more manageable and the outcomes more productive and in alignment with your values. Licensed in NY, NJ and VA

Tired of hearing "get better" and you having to wrestle with wanting to explode because you really wish that You Could ...Just... Get better!"

I bring many years of expertise providing supportive, interactive, strength-based treatment and a client-centered approach, using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with teens, adults and families looking for the strength and knowledge to heal and work through challenging emotions. Are you a teenager experiencing the pain and isolation of trying to fit into a world comprised of the often inconsistent demands of school, peers and the culture? Or a family struggling to restore communications in order to regain love and nurturance, possibly dealing with intergenerational conflict? Or are you an adult dealing with issues of life transitions that don't often come with a road map? Let's work together on your journey to gain the insights necessary to heal.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and alone or suddenly feel that you cannot communicate your needs effectively to those most important in your life? I believe that through the connection that exists in a positive therapeutic relationship, individuals can learn to heal themselves and their relationships while fully experiencing all that life has to offer. As a team we will work together to discover and understand longstanding patterns of thinking and feeling which keep us from fully understanding ourselves and what motivates our behavior. With guidance and support clients will begin to better understand themselves.
