Therapists in New York

Hello, I am Patricia. I am a multilingual, Licensed Master Social Worker with over 10 years of providing supportive counseling and therapy from a strengths based perspective. I have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is solutions focused to help clients move from crisis to confidence. I earned my Sociology Bachelor’s of Arts from New York University and my Master’s of Science in Social Work from Columbia University. I have worked in various clinical settings and care systems for over 14 years.

Is anxiety, depression, or anger holding you from enjoying your life? Are having a hard time finding motivation after a breakup or losing a loved one? Are you struggling with your relationships/setting boundaries, or feelings of guilt. As a psychotherapist my work is driven by the deeply held belief that people get better. Every person has the ability to heal, make connections, and deserves healthy relationships. I can guide you through life's challenges with compassion and respect. My style is interactive/engaging and I work collaboratively with you to promote the growth and change you desire.

I work with individuals, families, couples from a client-centered humanistic approach, specifically meeting you where you are and helping you to meet your goals. I believe that healing can begin to take place in an authentic human relationship and support my clients in discovering any barriers that may be blocking them in enjoying their best life. I am trained in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and CPT, and help my clients who have unprocessed trauma that impacts them to heal. I am also a registered yoga teacher, reiki practitioner, & trained in MBSR. I am licensed in NY, NJ and California and see clients virtually in all locations.

We are a group of Psychotherapists, each one specializing in a different area, to be able to provide expert treatment in specific needed areas.

Whether you are seeking relief for a specific issue, symptom or problem or feeling a longing to improve the quality and meaning of your life and develop your potential, therapy is a path seriously worth exploring. Moreover, our symptoms, depressions, anxieties and fears, our addictions and old habit patterns create a wall in front of us as we strive to move forward. Left solely to our own devices change can evoke high anxiety and include a resurgence of old negative or depressive messages and "what-if?" thinking. We may doubt ourselves,our capacities in learning, work ,communication or love, even play.

I firmly believe that each individual is capable of improving their life, when they are ready to do so, and with the help of a well-matched therapist. I will work with you to gain a better understanding of who you truly are and what you want, while exploring ways to help you find purpose, peace and acceptance. I use integrative therapeutic approaches, and attachment theory and shadow work frame my perspective. I believe our true self emerges when we shed the social persona and integrate our identity with the unconscious parts of ourselves, thus rediscovering who we truly are.

Is anxiety or depression impacting or derailing your life? Do you have goals you want to accomplish but struggle to get out of bed or stay focused? Mental health issues can keep you from living the life you want or feeling that sense of calmness and serenity you prefer. You want to stop letting mental illness control your life, but you aren’t sure where to start. Many people struggle with mental illness - don’t let it hold you back any longer. Finding the right mental healthcare professional is critical. The right help is available; we can get through this together.

Bonjour. Je suis psychanalyste et psychothérapeute clinicien formé à NPAP et Columbia University. Avant cela, j’ai obtenu un Master de NYU en économie théorique en travaillant sous la direction du collaborateur principal d'un "prix Nobel". Après une quinzaine d’années dans le secteur corporatif, cherchant à me distancer des relations humaines purement transactionnelles que ces structures peuvent engendrer, j’ai débuté ma formation de psychanalyse. Je sais de première main que suive une analyse n’est jamais facile.

My focus as a therapist is helping you understand and embrace your own identity and your own values. There is powerful strength in being yourself, and we can discover that strength together. My expertise is particularly in working with body image and eating disorders, with people who have or wish to be evaluated for autism and/or ADHD, with people experiencing self-injury or suicidal ideation, and with people who have "treatment-resistant" or severe anxiety and depression. I partner with patients who want to understand themselves on a deep level, while simultaneously offering concrete skills and tools to alleviate current symptoms.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and certified online counselor. I believe that exploring a desire to change is the first step in creating a fulfilling lifestyle. Using Cloud Counseling(c), or distance counseling, we can build an energized mindset that can help you to achieve a goal or change a dysfunctional behavior. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, emotional disturbances, self-empowerment, trauma, loss, finding meaning and addiction. I work to empower clients using a strengths-based, affirming perspective to teach coping skills, to help guide exploration of self and to provide support through normal life transitions.

I am a clinical social worker trained in Gestalt Therapy, which offers a holistic and existential approach to understanding human experience. I conduct therapy in French (fluently) and English. I am trained in Insight Meditation and mindfulness, which can help you cope with difficult emotions and life stresses. I am experienced with trauma, issues of loss, depression, belonging and separateness, and life transitions. I believe we have what we need in our bodies, minds and souls to heal from past wounds, cope with present problems, and shape a life according to our deepest needs and wishes.

What makes my work different is how much I focus on the specific issue you want to target. I bypass the need for long term therapy. I use my own model that combines EMDR, Energy Psychology, Somatic work and Parts work. A mind body philosophy that supports and encourages the inherent healing present in all of us. I also work with couples helping them move towards security and safety and using each other as a secure base to return to.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed, and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to also factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.

I am a contemporary psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapist. Psychoanalytically trained therapists are caring, empathic people who really listen and respond. I will listen with the deepest empathy. I'll actively help you resolve painful emotions and conflicts, and we'll work together to find long-lasting solutions to what troubles your heart and mind. In the unique bond that forms in a truly therapeutic relationship, we'll embark on an important journey, exploring your conscious and unconscious feelings and thoughts, always linking past to present in order to resolve conflict and pain so you can live your life to its fullest.

Therapy can offer guidance on your journey towards emotional freedom and mental well being. Modern therapists want to teach you the tools to create your own psychological, emotional, ethical, sexual and philosophical way in the world- your life, for you, by you. There are individuals, groups, corporations, even therapists- whole systems of people designed to try to make you feel outraged, anxious, addicted, scared, depressed, helpless, and hopeless. Whether they are successful or not is up to you.

As a warm, compassionate therapist, I strive to create a safe space where my clients can openly express and explore their troubling inner thoughts and feelings. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to live fuller, more satisfying lives. Towards that end, I take a collaborative approach, helping clients identify the underlying causes of their difficulties and establish their therapeutic goals. Through my work, I help clients tap into and further develop their inner strength and innate abilities, transforming them into skills they can use to better cope with emotional distress, improve relationships, overcome obstacles and achieve personal goals.
