Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in 10004

I work with individuals feeling anxiety or depression in regard to their relationships and careers. Making choices is difficult at all stages of life for fear of "getting it wrong." With insight and modification, we can make choices with confidence. When it comes to personal and occupational relationships, we may struggle with communication, boundaries, setting limits, and voicing needs. I help my clients improve in these areas. We thoroughly evaluate communication and conflicts with others to improve effectiveness, self esteem, and esteem from others in personal relationships and at work.

Rebecca Kulzer's is passionate about working with children, youth, and their parents to address issues related to complex medical conditions, early development, behavioral management, parent training, pediatric populations, neurorehabilitation interventions, "whole-person" intervention approaches, and addressing health disparities. She is published in the areas of cultural issues and health disparities and lectures in the areas of neuroanatomy, biological bases of behavior, neuropsychological assessment, behavioral management, and early development.

I am a clinical neuropsychologist and learning specialist who is available for therapy/coaching sessions. I have a holistic approach that utilizes cognitive re-framing, behavioral modification and mindfulness practices. Cognitive re-framing uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and extinguish maladaptive thought patterns. Behavioral modification is used to optimize behavior patterns. Last, mindfulness practices are essential for identifying and maintaining optimal thought and behavior patterns. There are many different ways to practice mindfulness and working together we can uncover the path that works best for you.

I am a Life & Career Coach and my practice focuses on young adults with Asperger's and other learning differences. I started Spectrum Strategies because I want to help create a level playing field for these individuals. I work with both the individual and the family to facilitate the transition from high school to the vocational world, college or the work force. I help improve time management and organizational skills by breaking larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks. I also develop tailored Action Plans to guide clients step-by-step toward personal and professional goals.

We offer high quality: Psychodiagostic Testing (to clarify diagnoses), Neuropsychological Testing (to provide insight into cognitive functioning), Psychoeducational Testing (to understand academic functioning), and Therapeutic Assessment (to help with self-development, relationships and/or psychotherapy). Our assessments can be used to generate academic recommendations to support education, provide a roadmap to supercharge individual therapy, and create actionable insights to guide effective therapy, school/work and relationships.

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 provide an opportunity for people to freely express their feelings and thoughts to achieve the changes they desire. I work interactively with clients so they may develop their strengths and achieve their goals. Assisting individuals in becoming at ease with their feelings, however difficult they may be, is an important aspect of the work I do. Feelings can become useful tools for living rather than disturbing impediments. The ubiquitous problems of uncomfortable feelings, harmful behaviors, and the challenges of relationships, careers and parenting are common areas of focus.

We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand your past and how it shapes your perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

Many conditions can affect our cognition, interfering with skills such as learning, memory, attention, problem solving, planning, or processing information. Neuropsychology is focused on understanding how brain health impacts cognition and behavior and using that information to make or clarify a diagnosis, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and/or monitor cognitive abilities over time.

Are you feeling sad, angry, stuck or confused with your job or your spouse or your family of origin or your friends? Does your self esteem vary widely in reaction to your circumstances? Do you try to control your emotional states by eating or witholding or other self destructive behaviors? If you wish to understand why these difficulties are going on, and want to work toward making change, I may be the therapist for you. I am patient, empathic, and directive.I am psychoanalytically trained but have respect for the pragmatic realities of everyday life. I genuinely love working with people in a therapeutic way.

Finding a therapist is an important, yet challenging task. I have worked with individuals of all ages with issues including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, gender identity struggles, and borderline personality disorder.

We are all capable of creative change. Those things that block us can be overcome with the greater understanding that results from the collaborative process known as psychoanalysis. I believe in a person-centered flexible approach to exploring the potentials and obstacles in our inner lives. The opportunities offered from an empowering and problem solving exploration of your self, in a serious and respectful relationship, are substantial and worth the time and effort involved. Greater self-understahnding and a vital sense of connection to others are the goals of analysis - increased happiness and a more successful life will result.

While I have extensive experience treating adults and adolescents of all ages, many patients I see in my practice are in their 20’s-40's. Often they have experienced significant trauma in their lives that has resulted in intense feelings of depression and anxiety. There often is disruption and disappointment in relationships. This work can be challenging in ways we cannot always predict, so it is important that the therapist and patient together create a safe space that supports increasing awareness. I believe this can only be achieved when people are making progress in real-time towards more fulfilling lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist specializing in helping children, adolescents and their families. I also work with adults seeking to improve their parenting relationships with infants, children and adolescents. A particular area of focus is in supporting individuals facing fertility, pregnancy loss and postpartum challenges. I can provide home-based support to new parents seeking to have the best possible attachment with their children. I offer compassionate care focused on both relieving psychological distress and improving the quality of individual and family life.

I began practicing in Maryland in 1978. I resumed practicing in New York in 2004 and added an office in New Jersey in 2013. My practice covers a broad age range from 2-90. I am most comfortable treating adults with a variety of mental health issues. I also see couples and do family therapy. In addition, I have done play therapy with children. I am also comfortable conducting psychological evaluations of children ranging in age from a year to 21 years. I am an expert in developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from others and wish for relationships that are more solid and fulfilling? Do you struggle with difficulties in communication or experience feelings of being misunderstood? Have you experienced difficult events in the past that affect your current life?

I love the work I do and I feel privileged to see individuals, couples, and families grow, deepen understanding, and change through their experiences in therapy.
