Therapists in New York, NY

I believe that the most important relationship we develop is with our inner self. People often get caught up in repetitive patterns that may hinder their work, love, or personal relationships caused by past traumas or disconnection from oneself. This may inhibit them from being able to live a fulfilling life. The process of getting in touch with often unknown aspects of oneself enables one to lead a fuller life. Lack of such a connection with our psychological center leads in varying degrees to emotional homelessness, emptiness in one's work, and personal relationships. In my publications I explore the notion of "inner home".

In a world where so many expectations are placed upon us, therapy is a place where the only expectation is to show up. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, life as an artist, relationships, dating, trauma, loneliness, creative blocks, life transitions, low self-esteem, or other challenges, I’ll hold the space for you to feel heard and understood. In the process, you’ll better understand yourself. I’ve worked with performing artists, adults switching careers, and teens and young adults growing into their authentic selves. I aim to foster an environment for self-discovery and expression.

I am a Bilingual/Bicultural therapist who takes pride in working with clients of diverse backgrounds. As your therapist my goal is to work with you in a collaborative way, using a culturally humble lens and awareness that "one size does not fit all." In my practice I work with Pre-Teen/Tweens, Adolescents, and Adults in an effort towards identifying solutions that promote growth, healing and life satisfaction through use of the therapeutic relationship.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in autism spectrum disorders, ADD, and anxiety, with over 25 years of experience and a background in neuropsychological remediation. I work with children, teenagers, and adults with ASD, ASD, and anxiety and emotional regulation challenges.

Greetings, I'm Brandon Alfred, and through my own life's journey, I've come to realize no one should should handle life's challenges alone. We all encounter struggles that can feel daunting, and it's during these times that seeking support becomes truly meaningful. Sometimes, we encounter a space in our lives where even the simplest tasks can transform into difficult hurdles. Whether you're grappling with feelings of sadness or navigating the weight of depression, feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, facing complexities within romantic relationships, searching for your life's purpose, you've arrived at a place of understanding.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to manage the expectations we set for ourselves and that others set for us. Given the busy nature of our lives, there is little time to process what these expectations mean to us and why they can cause us distress. Therapy can give space for life to slow down, to limit distractions, and to keep the judgments of others out. By engaging in the therapeutic process, we gain an understanding of our values and how they inform our behavior and emotional well-being.

My professional expertise is primarily rooted on establishing a positive rapport with the client. The individual's needs are of paramount importance when trying to establish said connection. I don't believe much in theoretical concepts but rather in how the dynamics are presented between the dyad when processing and dealing with sensitive personal issues, which ultimately may help us to develop a stage of psychological balance and emotional fulfillment.

I am an LCSW who specializes in dating, relationships, and life coaching. I strive to create a warm and open therapeutic environment to allow my patients to focus on their individual strengths and build confidence. Using a person-centered and motivational approach to therapy, I work with my patients to tackle anxiety and depression that may arise as a result of interpersonal relationships and daily struggles. If you’re ready to take the next step in starting your therapy journey, I urge you to reach out to me to schedule an appointment! I look forward to working with you.

Anyone experiencing stressors of everyday life, feeling like an outsider, looking for coping skills or confidence to manage self in various situations, and those who would benefit from having a safe space to communicate feelings/emotions without judgement and providing confidentiality are welcomed and would benefit from therapy.

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

I work to nurture hope, strength and healing for clients of many cultures and backgrounds. Combining talk therapy with body awareness helps clients move forward with fuller energy.

We all go through things, and in therapy I can help you confront the difficulties you are trying to manage. I specialize in providing individual, couples, and family therapy. I have experience working with clients of all age groups across the lifespan. Some of these issues may be couples' communication issues, grief/bereavement, life transitions, and discord in personal and professional relationships to name a few. We tend to put others before ourselves and neglect our own needs in the process, including seeking therapy. Let me show you how to break these cycles in your therapy journey.

I believe that, at the core of every human being, there is a need to be loved and to be valued, and that we meet those needs through our relationships with others. By the time we reach adulthood, we have established relationships with our families, friends, romantic partners, work colleagues, and others. And, while we all hope for the best, sometimes these relationships turn toxic and/or abusive. Despite the fact that we are not always aware of it, these unhealthy relationships negatively affect our mental health to the point where feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, guilt, or shame become unbearable.

With over ten years of experience specializing in helping others find their authentic self. If you desire to live a life of purpose, or need clear direction, or even want to learn how to cope with past traumatic experience, I can assist with helping you create a new life, build long lasting relationships or even find your soul mate. It's time to invest in yourself! Let's partner together to get your best results and get you the life you deserve.

I have been in private practice for well over a decade working with adults, couples and adolescents. I help guide people who may be ambivalent about what it is they want in their relationships or careers, or are unsure how to get what they do want. There are often hidden things we haven't given voice to, usually out of concern of being judged, hurting others, or feeling ashamed. Concealing or judging parts of our true selves in this way often interferes with love, work, friendships and a sense of purpose, often causing difficulties such as depression and anxiety.

Uncomfortable symptoms exist for a reason. We can take medication to make them go away for a while. Alternatively, we can take the time and make the effort to listen to ourselves and work, with the help of a trained ear, to decipher what our symptoms reveal about what is not going well in our lives. As a psychoanalyst, I engage with my patients directly and know that their work is not done alone. Our work can be diverse in nature: it can focus on a very precise conflict; it can be about the desire to overcome a difficult experience or a painful past; it can mean learning about oneself or receiving support to move forward.

Being an authentic psychotherapist for my clients is crucial towards forging a lasting and useful therapeutic relationship. I am a firm believer that a psychotherapist must understand and work on themselves in order to fully help their clients. I promise that throughout the course of our relationship I will do the best that I can to empathize with and understand you, and consistently adhere to my principles of humility, patience, and inquisitiveness. I will help you to navigate life and address areas of difficulty, trauma, and distress, rather than assessing you in a manner that is clinical or cold.

We will focus on your strengths to develop healthy coping skills and problem-solving methods as lifelong tools. You are the expert of your own experiences, I use this philosophy to help clients achieve their goals.   My practice uses a strengths-based approach to work through challenges. I aim to help individuals develop and achieve goals that lead to empowerment and a life of fulfillment. If you are struggling with issues that impede your growth, please allow me to join you on your journey. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which places a high value on helping clients understand their process.

As a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is active, engaged and empathetic. I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives, through exploring the past, asking questions about the present, and collaborating to brainstorm solutions for the future. As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in guiding clients on issues relating to loss and grief. Alongside this specialty I am gratified by the many couples I work with on relationship enhancement issues as well as the coaching work for business success.
