Therapists in White Plains, NY

I have 20 years of experience in providing psychotherapy and counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. I especially emphasize short-term treatment for life adjustment problems, adolescent difficulties, and marital/family conflicts.

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. She draws upon her extensive knowledge in education, psychology, and clinical therapy when working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors who have problems with: depression, crisis, anger, anxiety, bullying, career, family, stress, domestic violence, divorce, body image, self-esteem, trauma, parenting, relationships, grief, illness, substance abuse, assault, sexual orientation, and personal transitions.

As a certified NLP Practitioner and HeartBreath Practitioner in-training, I help parents feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to themselves and their children, using a unique combination of conscious parenting techniques, breathwork, and nervous system regulation work. By uncovering and addressing the emotional patterns that are holding you back, we will rewire your brain around healthier beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, so you can respond instead of react to your child's challenging behaviors. In a short period of time, I will help you parent from a place of peace, feeling in control of your own emotions.

I am a caring, understanding psychotherapist who has advanced training and extensive experience (30+ years) working with individuals, couples, children, and families. My treatment focus includes problems of childhood, parenting issues, trauma, marital conflicts, infidelity, alcohol/substance abuse, depression and anxiety. I have post doctorate advanced training in family systems therapy and individual psychotherapy and have taught and supervised family therapy to therapists-in-training for over 20 years. I have advanced training in group psychotherapy, emotionally focused therapy, and solution focused therapy. I have developed training programs for mental health centers throughout New York, on family and couples counseling.

I enjoy helping people who are experiencing a variety of stressors and symptoms. For example, anxiety, depression, addictions, reactions to trauma, relationship struggles, anger, loss, as well as other problems with mood or thinking. Also the every day type of stress, including problems handling school, work, family, or what life throws at us in general. I use my Circle of Life Wellness Coaching to help people get unstuck and move forward with helpful change. Are you ready to make some positive changes in your life?!

As a clinical social worker for over 20 years I utilize a variety of methods to treat the whole person. While working together you can expect a supportive and collaborative treatment relationship. We clarify the issues getting in your way, and set you on a healthy path that will result in you feeling better. One of my specialties is working with women of all ages who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression because of pressures of work, family and transitional issues. Women who have been the one everyone has gone to for all their needs and now need someone to go to.

As I work with individuals, couples and families, my goal is to create an interactive, supportive, yet challenging environment focusing on how to get to the heart of the matter quickly and safely. I specialize in a wide range of issues including -but not limited to- depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflicts and trauma.
