Therapists in New York, NY

I believe that everyone deserves the chance to get to know themselves better. Do you struggle with communication in your romantic, sexual, work or family relationships? Are you curious about that hair-trigger emotional response you’ve always had, but never understood? Are you grappling with feelings of grief, anger, anxiety, sadness, or experiencing a major life transition? As your therapist, I plan to help you approach your emotions with increased awareness and control. Our sessions will always be open, exploratory conversations, a safe space to be curious about your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You set the pace; I'll keep up.

I believe in the potential of all human beings to grow, change, and develop in ways that enrich themselves and those around them. Unfortunately, pain is often the touchstone of growth. Explored wisely, however, such pain can lead us to deeper understandings of ourselves and the world around us. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool for turning our personal pain into personal growth. I have over 25 years of experience working with issues that have great impact on the LGBTQ community and beyond - the traumas of oppression, depression, anxiety, substance use, relational issues, career issues...the list goes on.

Any form of psychotherapy must be guided by one overarching purpose: to help you achieve your goals. Treatment alleviates distress and results in greater inner strength. Accordingly, therapy must be a constructive experience, and as work proceeds, you'll experience advances in your sense of well-being. On the whole, expect an upward trend of hope and greater self-esteem. Your capacity for intimacy with others and your sense of fulfillment will increase, concomitant with a decrease in suffering and pain. Psychotherapy helps to establish a profound, meaningful and healthy sense of connectedness with your world and those in it.

Hi, my name is Anna. Feeling misunderstood and other-ed can be deeply challenging, especially if you navigate the world with a unique set of experiences or marginalized ones—whether you're part of the queer and/or trans community, Neurodivergent, facing complex trauma, or dealing with chronic illness.

My aim as a psychotherapist is to help individuals and couples stop repeating destructive and self-defeating patterns of behavior. I do so by helping people gain deeper understanding of their issues and the complex factors that underlie such patterns. We humans cling to familiar way of coping, even if we know that our behavior is no longer serving us, or is even hurting us. Understanding why we do what we do in the present will not only help us understand ourselves but will also help us let go of the familiar but dysfunctional way of coping with life events.

I believe in the power of change and having new insights. Life is hard and having someone to listen and walk you through some of life’s toughest challenges can be the strength you need to succeed.

I am accepting new clients and am offering virtual and in-person sessions.

Therapy is going to the gym for your emotional and relational well-being, so I give you a ton of credit for being here, exploring how to get in shape!

Life is a series of transitions. We often need help in moving from a place of discomfort to a place of calmness, safety, and satisfaction. The process of psychotherapy can help you get to that better place. I work with individuals, couples, and families with a focus on achieving self-understanding for the purpose of changing situations which are stressful and unpleasant. My practice is all inclusive, treating those seemingly well adjusted yet with nagging underlying dissatisfactions to those experiencing extreme distress, alienation, and shame.

Sometimes, life’s challenges are difficult to master on our own. If you’re feeling stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or isolated, there are constructive ways out. Psychotherapy can make a difference.
