Therapists in New York

I believe that mental health is the ability to respond to setbacks and disappointments - that is, life events - with flexibility and resilience. Unfortunately, childhood misattunements with caregivers, traumas, and neglect shape responses that become fixed patterns throughout life. With therapeutic support, positive attachment relationships can be forged, and old memories can lead to new insights, which can inspire more adaptive reactions.

I am dedicated to working with clients whose personality and life experience were shaped by more than one culture: You might be an international student or in your 20's or 30's navigating anxiety. You might have been raised by 1st generation Asian parents or one and half or 2nd generation immigrants. You might be struggling in a relationship where you and your partner come from different cultural backgrounds not feeling understood. You are in the relationship but you both feel alone in the relationship. I love to help. I work with clients individually and as couples.

Has infertility, pregnancy, and/or new motherhood been impacting your life recently? These are some of the most stressful experiences we can have in life. It's common to feel overwhelmed, lonely, and lost during these times which is why therapy can be so important.

I believe you as a client know what you need. I am here to listen, validate, support, and guide you through this phase of your life.

Are you tired of hearing how smart and self-aware you are, but still feeling stuck in certain aspects of your life? I get it.

Let's create a space where you can trust yourself and your instincts, where we can explore new paths together. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can emerge feeling empowered & whole.

I work using an anti-oppressive and trauma informed perspective with a focus on trauma, gender, sexuality, life transitions, feeling stuck, coming out later in life, and navigating relationships. I believe mindful attention to the physical experience can provide insight and space for empathy, when words are hard to conjure. I’m passionate about helping people connect with their body and discover ways to honor their authentic selves. I specialize in working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and TGNC/NB communities.

Tori truly recognizes the complexity of human life experiences that shape an individual's worldview. She balances seriousness and humor, validation and supporting change, with an integrated perspective, rooted in person centered and relational approaches. Tori understands that healing can be uncomfortable and difficult, and her hope is to co-create a space where clients find freedom, transformation, personal growth and self-acceptance.

You may have found yourself stumbling over the same problem. Some are experiencing anxiety or depression. Perhaps your irritation over situations is overriding your previous levels of patience. You find yourself avoiding challenges, at times even avoiding relationships. It is time to consider a different alternative. Psychotherapy offers a reflective view of your past life experiences and their impact on you overtime. Often when analyzing the reflective experience, it explains current feelings and responses and allows you to become objective. This objectivity gives you clarity and increases your choices and control.

Therapy is, above all, a partnership. As your therapist, I create a space where you are heard, validated, and accepted as you are. Many of us have very few places in our lives where we can be our most authentic selves. It is through this level of trust and respect that true transformation and healing can occur. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. I will help you to see all your inherent strengths that depression, anxiety, or life stressors may be clouding your vision of. Through our therapeutic connection and evidence-based strategies, we can clear the lens and allow you to envision the path forward.

Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.

Before I came to New York, I was a lecturer in medical school and a neuroscientist. I was interested in the wonders of the brain from a scientist's point of view. My focus, over the last decade, has shifted from the brain to the mind. I think of psychoanalysis as a profound journey of understanding of oneself. Its purpose is to help people to understand feelings, behaviors, and habits that are troubling to them and to enrich their lives with new creativity, more fulfilling careers, and more meaningful relationships.

Adults, Teens, and Children in need of counseling benefit from Creative Arts Therapy, as do families, and couples. I offer the optional use of Creative Arts to help clients gain a much needed perspective to assist them in their healing. Words, alone, cannot fully express your feelings. The creative arts can provide a potent "language" for expression and requires no previous art making experience. Paint, college, clay, mask-making, and creative writing help clients express, understand, and transform their feelings into allies for healing. Art Therapy has been designated as a mind-body approach by the National Institute of Health.

Do you find yourself always feeling overwhelmed by work and life in general? Are you tired? Feeling anxious and burned out? Not having enough time for yourself?

What if there was a way to find balance, put yourself first without feeling guilty, find time for self-care, do the things you want to be doing, and feel lighter and more connected to your body? As a trauma therapist, I'm here to help you connect to yourself, uncover your nervous system patterns, build self-compassion and shift your mindset.
