Somatic Therapists in New York

Are you are struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or imposter syndrome? As a psychotherapist and certified Brainspotting consultant, I help performers and creative professionals heal trauma and liberate creativity. Specializing in progressive brain-body therapies at the cutting edge of contemporary care, my somatic approach to therapy restores balance to the nervous system, clearing inner blocks that interfere with visibility, confidence, and authentic self-expression.

I welcome complex individuals facing difficult issues. I help clients move through major life transitions, find ways to heal after experiencing loss, and address defeating patterns to improve relationship to self and others. Working with me, you'll find a warm and sensitive space, welcoming and appreciating you for being yourself. My approach looks to recognize ways of living in the world that once worked well for you. In identifying your unmet needs or desires, we will find the right balance of support so you may be challenged to create new and flexible patterns that give you more choices.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to the healing process. In our work together, we will co-create a safe, non-judgmental, restorative space. Through genuine warmth, compassion, & humor, my hope is that you’ll feel ready to explore and embark on your unique journey. As someone with a strong spiritual foundation, I empower individuals to tap into their inner healing intelligence as they navigate their past and present life experience. My passion lies in supporting attachment wound healing through reparative connection and increasing awareness and understanding of how trauma gets stored in the body.

I believe that when we are given a compassionate space to explore our emotions, behaviors, and experiences, the opportunities for growth are endless. As a therapist, I honor the vulnerability and courage it takes to engage in this process. While working on our suffering can feel overwhelming, I pay careful attention to go at the appropriate pace that will be most beneficial to your healing process. You are the expert on your life and I prioritize connecting you with the depth of your own strengths, intuition, and wisdom.

It can be really challenging to navigate an ever-changing world, especially if we enter each season struggling to carry the weight of the past. We learn survival strategies that are often hard to unlearn, and it can feel like we will always be stuck in our same old patterns of suffering. I offer non-judgmental support to people who want to find more aliveness in their minds and bodies. Through this partnership, we aim to build your capacity to feel and deal with emotions in kind yet effective ways, and develop compassionate habits that can lead to self trust. In doing so, we can create more room for ease, meaning, and joy.

You have taken a courageous step in seeking therapy. It is not always easy to talk about how you feel, what you've been through or what you want. Some experiences are beyond words. I see my clients as individuals who have the brilliant capacity to heal and connect with their innate self-worth. I create a warm and comfortable space where you will feel seen and heard. My approach has a foundation in psychodynamic & trauma theory, and looks at how one's personal experiences, identities and intergenerational context impact one's here and now; it also fosters the learning of strategies to feel relief and promote healing.

Are you interested in cultivating self-acceptance and self-compassion while developing strategies to feel better? Do you want to build a safe space to work on anxious thoughts, feelings of low self-esteem, grief, or trauma? I believe in creating a compassionate and affirming space to explore these issues. I use a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and trauma-informed approach. I value you as the expert in your own experiences and needs, and will critically examine and hold space for different aspects of your intersecting identities. I am passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community because I was raised by out LGBTQ+ parents.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to manage trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, dissociation, or other aspects of your mental health? Do these struggles impact your relationships or wellbeing? I am happy to support your journey of understanding and addressing these concerns. My approach incorporates a feminist perspective, and begins with collaboration and connection. I want to take time to explore your goals and obstacles, while also getting to know you as a person. You are the expert on your life, so I view therapy as a collaborative team approach that allows me to serve as a supportive guide.

Connection. It’s what we are all looking for. Connection with ourselves. Connection with others. But how do we achieve that in a world that constantly forces us to disconnect in order to survive? To numb out, to run from conflict, to judge, to avoid our vulnerability. Our vulnerability is what makes us beautiful. Let’s get back to that beauty. Whether you’re struggling with romantic relationships, work and family stress, or trying to cope with the multiple crises happening around the world, I’m here to support you. I’ve been a therapist for more than a decade and have helped hundreds of people just like you.

I’m a NYC based psychotherapist, with over 15 years of experience. My goal is to foster a caring and attuned relationship that creates a sense of safety with clients. I help people through life transitions and challenges, which can often overwhelm and disconnect us from ourselves and those around us. I work with people who are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I also assist parents in navigating the challenges of parent- child relationships, and improving communication.

We often move through life so quickly or under so much stress that we lose touch with our emotions, desires, and natural capacity for healing. As a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience, I aim to provide a space where we can slow down and fully arrive in the moment together with compassionate attention. All parts of you will be welcomed within a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. Working with me is a collaborative process where we will draw from various modalities– psychodynamic, somatic, experiential, and mindfulness based. I have worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including US Veterans.

The diverse nature of the human experience often leads to feelings of confusion, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and disenfranchised grief. Yet, by acknowledging these experiences, we gift ourselves with possibilities and opportunities for change. I work with teens and young adults, with a focus on the emotional components of living with chronic illness, grief, loss, and life transitions. I mainly provide psychodynamic and trauma-informed care, with specialized training in EMDR, DBT, and somatic interventions.

Constant stress and anxiety are overwhelming. They can leave you feeling stuck and in panic. Guilt & frustration develops. Being a mother & communicating with your partner is interrupted. It all leaves you completely exhausted, burnt out and becoming more difficult to remember life without these constraints. It’s time to understand a deeper body mind connection to create your ideal balanced lifestyle and reduce anger, OCD, & intrusive thoughts. Online sessions. Questions? Visit www.NicoleLeeTherapy.com

Have you tried talk therapy and haven't experienced the results you were wanting? Many people that I see have tried talk therapy for years and said that the integrative approach that they experience with me is the first time they are seeing the results that they wanted. My philosophy holds at its foundation an unshakable trust in your resilience. There is a place in everyone that is innately resilient: present, regulated, and capable of being with any pain, fear, and vulnerability. I will guide you to connect to your resilience which is an empowering way to heal, as you will leave with a greater trust in yourself. daniellecarron.com

Are you struggling with emotional distress? Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Do you find yourself returning to comfortable, although detrimental ways of dealing with stress, relationships, or disturbing experiences? Come talk to me, and we can work together on revealing underlying causes of dysfunction and building up your resources to overcome adversity. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client controls the pace of treatment and my role is to promote curiosity and guide the client to connect with inner strengths.

The best psychotherapy is a working partnership that honors our innate healing abilities. Within the context of a caring and respectful relationship, therapy can create opportunities to resolve past pain, balance emotions, and experience the spontaneous joy and energetic flow we were born with. I love working with clients who prefer a collaborative therapeutic relationship, who are willing to do the work of healing (between-session “field work” is assigned regularly), who are comfortable with, or curious about, a nonlinear approach (rather than strictly cognitive or “talk therapy”).

From the outside, you seem to have it all. You have a great job, you have close friends, and maybe you’re in a relationship. But when you’re alone, anxious thoughts, self-doubt, and dissatisfaction creep in. You might compare yourself to others, ruminate about your imperfections or past mistakes, and dread the day that people see the real you. Or perhaps you’ve lost sight of who you are, where you’re headed, and why you’re working so hard. You might find it difficult to slow down and enjoy your success. You want to feel better but find yourself stuck in old patterns and wondering how to make lasting change.

Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well.

My goal is to create a uniquely secure space for you to identify your blocks, understand your relationship to them, & find the tools you need to break through. Each of us has an innate potential for change & growth. I will jump into the work with you & be by your side throughout your discovery. My intention is to bring compassion & truth-telling to the process. After nearly two decades as a mindfulness educator, I believe our connection to our mind & body brings us closer to our motivation & inherent resilience. In our work together we’ll explore this connection to guide you toward the truest & most powerful version of yourself.
