Relationship Issues Therapists in New York, NY

If you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning and looking for therapy, you've found the right place. I'm here to help and support you in a safe and welcoming environment. We'll work together to help you find the best way to live the successful and happy life you deserve.

Are you a high-achieving Type A who has accomplished professional success but is struggling? Do you feel disengaged, lonely, negative, and beginning to dislike the person you are becoming? I have specialized training with high-functioning individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and relationship issues. I can help you harness your difficulties by learning how to manage stressors that come up in life and building resilience. I combine strategies from the best in our field, including evidence-based, solution-focused, and exploratory treatment. Simply put, whatever you're going through, I can help.

I work with people of diverse sexualities and racial/class backgrounds, from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other transitions. Clients come with anxiety, a trauma surfacing, work or relationship issues. Now most people's lives and psyches have been affected by the pandemic in some way. I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully, even joyfully. They're figuring out how to negotiate this tumultuous world while being true to their own values. They look at how society's shaping of gender, sexuality, race, class, age and (dis)ability affect their life.

I help stressed-out professionals, parents, and couples get off the crisis-rinse-repeat cycle of therapy with a body-mind, somatic, approach. Whether it's time-consuming jobs, relationship problems, social obligations, mortgages, or coping with a divorce, it is easy to become detached from your wants and needs. Integrating the body-mind connection into therapy helps my clients get back in touch with their feelings. Reach out and let's see if we are a good fit.

As a cognitive behavioral psychologist, I believe that everyone holds the potential and capability to significantly improve their life. Insight is important in setting the foundation for positive change, but CBT psychotherapy has been proven to be effective in helping people learn to implement the tools necessary to achieve their goals. I treat a wide range of difficulties, but have specialized expertise in relationship issues of all kinds: marital, couples, parent-child, and friendship, for example. I also specialize in many aspects of behavioral medicine. My patients report feeling safe and comfortable working with me in a warm, trusting, professional environment.

Hi there, I am Lauraine, a psychosomatic practitioner passionate about helping people connect their minds and bodies for a more fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that true healing involves understanding the deep connection between our thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. Together we will explore the root causes of the challenges you are facing. By working with your nervous system and body sensations, we can uncover and release behaviours and patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to support you in finding new ways of being that promote balance, peace and self awareness.

Do you feel stuck, trapped, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Do you feel anxious, sad, or lonely whether you are alone or in a relationship? Whatever the reason is, I will help you explore how to identify what may be holding you back from reaching your potential and ability to transform, thrive, and live satisfying and meaningful life.

I help clients to develop curiosity and compassion about their inner lives and desires, guiding them towards healing, pleasure, and joy. I approach therapy as a collaboration in which we get to know your inner world together. I help you to uncover the psychological, somatic, and sensory experiences that have shaped how you approach the world, providing opportunities for freedom, choice, and transformation. In both individual and couples therapy, I use mindfulness and embodiment to help you build awareness of your own wants, needs, emotions, and desires, creating a foundation for clear communication, intimacy, and understanding.

I approach our work as an evolving collaboration, fulfilling the profound and universal desire to be known and accepted. Using an integrative approach, I view effective therapy not as panacea, but as a ladder into the unknown: helping clients through obstacles towards specific goals, deeper into the self, outward toward another, and through challenging transitions. My particular training and experience is in working with performing artists, individuals with a variety of gender identities and sexualities, as well as people in various life transitions, particularly with young adults and issues surrounding identity formation.

I believe in creating a safe space and comfortable environment in which together we can explore and build upon a supportive therapeutic relationship where meaningful and challenging work can be done. You are the expert of your lived experience and what you present and share are tools that we will utilize to challenge and support your awareness and growth.

Does it ever seem as if it’s always an upward battle in your relationship with your husband, wife, partner? You may be struggling in a relationship, feeling unhappy and conflicted. As a marriage and family counselor, I help couples of all orientations work through their issues, figure out the source of their unhappiness, and help them with approaches/strategies to enhance their relationship. If you're a parent trying to cope with your children’s behavior issues, I can help you learn to realistically set limits, as well as define goals and expectations with your children.

Worrying constantly about relationships, work, and your decisions. Unable to move towards your goals. Stuck in relationship patterns yet seeking closer connections. Family building. Attacking or withdrawing when you face conflict. Therapy can help you feel more hopeful about your life as you learn self-compassion, how to manage boundaries, and regulate your emotions to authentically express your thoughts and feelings. I work with individuals and couples who want to manage stressors, lower anxiety, and work through transitions, trauma and loss so they can enjoy their relationships and move forward in business and creative work.

After 25 years of experience, I've learned that successful psychotherapy begins with a genuine collaborative relationship and connection with my clients - one formed in an environment of trust and safety, but with enough challenge to promote change. I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, actively engaging with you to explore issues including relationship and career difficulties, anxiety, depression, self -esteem, as well as addictive behaviors such as eating disorders. I integrate behavioral strategies (CBT), life coaching techniques, and mindfulness practices as needed. I want my clients to know themselves better, be able to explore new options, and learn the tools needed to change.

Looking for therapy is a sign of health. Congratulations. Now, to find a therapist. Do you feel off? Does your mind feel like it doesn't stop? You might feel like you're getting in the way of enjoying your relationship with yourself and those around you, or like people are always doing something wrong. Everything feels like a big deal.
