Adults Therapists in New York, NY

I help people to identify and overcome the issues that are preventing them from achieving what they want in life. My clients are highly functioning men and women who are dealing with the stressors of modern day existence, ie relationship issues, life transitions, depression and anxiety. It can often be a difficult task to balance interpersonal relationships (family, friends, dating, committed relationships) with life's expectations. Common stressors can also cause life crisis. For example, figuring out your career path, changing careers, adjusting to a new living or financial situation, dealing with chronic illness or the loss of a loved one.

If you feel stuck or defeated, if you need to learn new skills to thrive in your life, or if you just need a push of encouragement, my goal is to help those on a learning & healing journey feel more empowered & lead fulfilling lives. I will challenge, affirm, & support you with non-judgment & compassion. While I adjust my approach to your unique needs, a deep sense of humanity is my personal & professional foundation. I help clients learn new coping skills, gain acceptance, & battle distorted & defeating thoughts, feelings, & behaviors that can lead to mental health struggles, relationship issues, and issues at work or school.

Life doesn’t have to be a struggle. I'm passionate about supporting individuals and couples to relieve suffering. My approach is a blend of various modalities to meet you where you are. The aim is to create an integrated treatment approach. This approach allows us to explore our earlier experiences while also embracing the present moment and its potential. In the work, we co-create practical action steps to help you move closure to your values. The incorporation of somatic techniques allows you to tune into the body's wisdom.

Taking the first step to seek therapy is a big accomplishment. Whether you are struggling with a crisis, looking for a casual space to talk and reflect, or something in between, we can take on your challenges together. With my calm and compassionate demeanor, as well as empathetic listening, I strive to cultivate a warm and judgment-free therapeutic environment where you will feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Using a variety of therapeutic modalities, I enjoy working with adults, young adults, and couples navigating issues including anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationships, sex and sexuality, life transitions, family dynamics, and more.

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, and I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is to be active, engaged and empathetic.

As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in loss situations, yet I see many couples for relationship enhancement issues and do coaching for business success.

I am a psychologist / psychoanalyst, teaching, supervising, and practicing on the Upper West Side for over 30 years. I also offer online psychotherapy. I would describe my style as warm, eclectic and pragmatic. I think psychodynamically but am flexible and open to using different approaches. I am a good listener and am able to provide support in a process that can, at times, be quite painful. Like any other relationship, therapy involves a certain chemistry and I invite you to use the free consultation to come in and explore my approach directly.

My therapy sessions are focused on serving as a support and guide to my clients while creating a nonjudgmental setting to allow my clients the ability to express themselves freely. I collaboratively work together with my client in achieving their desired goals. My passion is to help my client recognize their strengths and to promote self-empowerment.

My expertise lies in assisting adolescents, young adults, and early career professionals in navigating various life challenges and addressing mental health issues. In my practice, I specialize in working with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships and self-esteem issues. Whether you're navigating the complexities of adulthood, managing transitions, struggling with work life balance or dealing with feelings of anxiety and depression, I'm here to provide the guidance and support you need.

My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you your deepest desires, aversions and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. In a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, you will discover who you are and what you authentically desire. Through the therapeutic process, you will be enabled to lead a more meaningful life and to establish more fulfilling relationships with healthier communication skills. We will work together to identify problems and solutions, and to help you be more effective overall in making decisions and reaching your goals.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience working with families and individuals.

Early in my career, I learned that building a therapeutic relationship and establishing good rapport with clients is essential in providing quality care.

Why were we taught algebra, but never taught about healthy relationships, delightful sex, grief, depression, or loving our bodies? Why do we fall into the same traps we fell into yesterday? Why do we go back to behaviors that we know are bad for us? I work with folks who feel stuck in painful cycles. I have special training in relationships, sex, and grief. I’ll give you tools & hold you accountable. My specialties are relationships, anxiety, grief, men's issues, queer issues, compulsive masturbation, porn literacy, low desire, ED & teens.

Life transitions can be painful. When we feel sadness or anxiety, we can often feel debilitated, empty and alone. Building inner capacity allows for openness and movement towards a better relationship with ourselves and others, in turn, creating long term resilience and self-awareness. I believe that if you are open to this kind of exploration in therapy, I can help you. Working through an anti-oppressive, empowerment lens, I will meet you in the moment, work creatively to bring light to ongoing patterns, and work collaboratively with you- as you are.

I understand that a person is more than a compilation of symptoms, and take into account a person’s history, current life experience and future goals to provide comprehensive treatment. I focus on issues relating to depression, role transitions and self-esteem. I provide a mostly psychodynamic approach to therapy, which allows a person to gain insight into their life experience. I believe psychotherapy is not a passive experience, and requires active participation by you. I am here to guide and help you realize your potential to live a more fulfilling life.

Throughout life we can encounter many roadblocks and, in some cases, very traumatic experiences that make us question whether we have the strength to continue, believe in people, or pursue our dreams. We tend to fixate on experiences beyond the here and now, identifying ourselves with the past or worrying about the future while missing the opportunity to achieve inner joy and peace. I specialize in treating adults and teenagers with depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. During counseling sessions, I use the evidence-based principles of CBT, MBCBT, DBT, ACT, and Mind-Body Connection therapy.
