Therapists in New York, NY

Perhaps you're seeking emotional understanding or spiritual guidance. Perhaps you're a young aspiring professional, or a more middle-aged partial success story, maybe with a family. Despite success in parts of your universe, you've discovered an emptiness or impasse that keeps you from peace and fulfillment. Whether it's an invisible existential spiritual void screaming for a new source of security, or life's common woes of financial pressure, infidelity, career confusion, and dealing with bullies, we all at some point need spiritual, emotional, and practical guidance. The wise realize it's a great power to be able to ask for help.

Are you experiencing difficulty with navigating life transitions such as exiting a relationship, graduating from college, or changing careers? Are you struggling to address frustrating patterns that seem to keep turning up? Do these experiences leave you feeling ashamed, unsure of yourself, or lost? I am prepared to support you with shifting away from fear of failure, patterns of negative self-talk, and limiting beliefs toward developing the insight and skills needed to manage difficult emotions, overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, and connect to your power and potential.

Are you seeking to make positive changes in your life but are not sure where to begin? Then know you are not alone and that you have come to the right place. Seeking treatment can be challenging but also incredibly rewarding when provided with a safe space to explore what is most important to you, what worries you, what might make you sad or feel out of control, as well as what your hopes and dreams are for your life. We will collaboratively develop goals for our work together and strive towards achieving those by exploring your current situation, your background, and your history of relationships and experiences.

Grief, loss, illness and caregiving can change the ways we feel about ourselves, our lives and our future. The impacts can be immense, and intersect with everything else we've been through in our lives. Many people find that working with a specialized therapist offers an additional level of support when it's difficult to cope. Whether you or someone close to you were recently diagnosed or living with an illness for years, caring for someone else, work in healthcare or whether you lost someone or something important to you, please reach out.

I believe in meeting individuals where they are at and supporting them in achieving resiliency. By taking a compassionate and genuine approach, my goal is to help you feel understood and supported. Through collaboration, our work will focus on gaining awareness into patterns and dilemmas, and using your fundamental strengths to lead a meaningful life and cope with the stressors that inevitably come with it. A main focus of my work is to maintain an empathic, warm, and non-judgmental approach as the complex pieces of your story are shared over time.

As a native New Yorker, business owner, and busy parent, I understand the difficulty in saying "no", setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships outside of the family. You may feel guilt or shame for taking time for yourself. You may feel like you have no idea what you're doing at times, and perhaps burnout that makes you feel like you're hanging on by a thread. You may feel like you're always doing something but at the same time feel like you're not doing enough. That's because you're not prioritizing your own needs. I work with parents, particularly parents who have had pre-term babies and children who are differently abled.

Starting a counselling process can feel daunting. Your Journey begins with a single step which you have already made by reading this information. You may feel stuck with anxious and/or depressed feelings and would like to learn healthy ways to cope and move forward. Would you like to learn more positive ways of communicating with your child, partner, parent or family? Or perhaps you wish to have a deeper connection with your partner. You hold the key to make positive changes for a happier, satisfying and fulfilling life.

Let's bring clarity, empowerment, hope and humor back into your life :)

How do you choose a therapist? Most people agree that more important than anything else is the rapport and relationship you develop. I offer a free phone consultation so we can discuss your individual needs and you can get a feel for how your sessions will be. You can make the changes that will positively affect your life. We will focus on your strengths and support you through these changes.

People struggle at different life stages. Human beings grow from the pain and sufferings. It is hard to be stuck in the dark alone and feel like nobody is there for you.If you feel depressed, anxious and stuck in your life, I will provide a safe place to explore your authentic self. If your children struggle with developmental/speech delay or have behavioral problems, I will provide play therapy/art therapy to understand children's inner world and help them develop a healthy sense of self and relationship with others.

Are you having trouble navigating relationships with friends, loved ones, and colleagues? Are you feeling like your emotions are getting too big to handle? Or are you just feeling down on yourself lately? You might feel like you are constantly being misunderstood by those around you, which may lead you either to push people away or violate your own boundaries by people-pleasing. You may even find that you are comparing yourself to others, which is becoming detrimental to how you see yourself. But you don’t have to go at it alone.

Telehealth appointments available! Whether you’re facing life transitions (going away to college, change of a job or career, parenting, divorce, chronic illness, aging), dealing with depression or anxiety, or working to find peace and purpose in your life, I will support you in a warm, accepting and collaborative manner. I help by using a combination of therapeutic approaches to help you develop insight into your challenges while developing more effective ways to cope. Together, we will work on tackling unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns that are preventing you from reaching your full potential.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck or with the sense that you are just going through the motions? I can help guide you to participate more fully in life and reach your maximum potential. We will work collaboratively to increase self-awareness, identify recurring patterns, and minimize maladaptive behaviors through the use of coping skills and resources at hand. With insight, confidence and tools in hand, you will be better equipped to effectively navigate through various road bumps in life and stop getting in your own way. I'm very collaborative, directive and strengths-based in my work with clients.

Do you feel chronically disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns despite "knowing better"? This misalignment might be affecting your physical health, your relationships, your sense of self, and your visions for the future. While many of the strategies you relied upon in early life were both necessary and adaptive, they can also become what hold you back later in life. What if we explore some of your origin stories and update those defaults to better reflect who you are, instead of who you believed you had to be? What if we deepen your self-belonging, thereby strengthening your capacity to connect more effortlessly with others?

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York and New Jersey providing individual and couples therapy to adults. I have experience working with clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, concerns related to gender/sexuality, substance use/addiction, trauma/PTSD, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I particularly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, young professionals, and artists. My approach to therapy is warm and active, prioritizing curiosity, care, and collaboration. Together, we'll tailor a treatment to meet your unique needs.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

I am a Latina social worker passionate about helping children, youth, and families realize their true potential, because when you feel better you do better! I employ a strengths-based and empathic approach to remote therapy sessions. I truly believe meeting a patient where they are at in life, is essential to building a strong therapeutic relationship. I let patient's guide therapy sessions and provide evidenced-based techniques to support a patient's growth in times of vulnerability. I believe that everyone has strengths and qualities that can be built on in order to achieve a healthier state of mind.

Is it difficult for you to set healthy boundaries in relationships? Do you feel depleted because the more you give, the less you get in return? Or Perhaps you are tired of the racing thoughts, overthinking and negative view of life. You feel like you lack purpose and you no longer know who you are or perhaps never did. Surviving but not really LIVING and you ask yourself, "Will this be my life forever?" My approach is to empower clients by helping them become aware of the patterns they're currently engaging in that are not serving them and providing them with the tools to build the life they are deserving of living.
