Career Counseling Therapists in New York, NY

Because people are not defined by a diagnosis or demographic, I don't specialize-I individualize. I have extensive experience helping clients identify personal and professional goals while helping them focus on maintaining present commitments and expectations. Within a structured conversation, it is possible to address barriers-situational and emotional-and effectively develop a realistic plan for creating desired changes. I enjoy combining insight oriented psycho dynamic therapy with the goal setting aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Challenges in life can be overwhelming if not downright defeating without support. As your therapist, I begin with building our relationship while we identify and address the reasons you are seeking treatment. My ultimate goals are to help you determine what is keeping you from living your ideal life and create a safe space where we can explore your life experiences. I strive to instill a spirit of hope and provide encouragement that change can be possible and that you are the ultimate agent of that change. Together, we will help you lay the groundwork to make positive changes that will serve to enrich your life.

I offer psychotherapy, consultation, supervision and coaching to individuals, couples, families and other therapists.

I support individuals, couples and adult families at various life stages, challenges and transitions. Themes of my work with clients include, but are not limited to mental health, career, performance, self esteem, family/parenting, and relationships with a focus on early childhood, attachment and relational work, the intergenerational family and shadow work. In addition, I support individuals, couples and adult families impacted by illness and loss.

I am a psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, and supervisor in private practice in New York City. I work with adults and adolescents, individuals and families. I received my masters from New York University and I am a certified psychoanalyst through the Training Institute for Mental Health. I have worked with people looking to improve various aspects of their lives including breakup pain, career path, mood, relationships, depression, anxiety, addictions, obsessional thinking, low self-esteem, fragile self-confidence, destructive behaviors, headaches, digestive problems, back pain, and fatigue.

Clients often engage in therapy when in crisis; however, in many cases, it is a trigger of deeper and raw feelings that were never processed and require therapeutic exploration. In our sessions, we will identify your triggers, thought processes, and behavioral patterns. We will explore repressed feelings, reparent your inner child and heal from old patterns. We will learn new and healthy coping skills to deal with these triggers and practice them all together. There is no magic wand, and I cannot “fix” you, but if you are willing to do the work, I will be so happy to guide, support, and validate your feelings.

With over twenty years of extensive experience working clinically with adults, adolescents and couples, I bring a lively and effective psychotherapeutic approach to every session.

Psychotherapy is a creative collaborative process that necessitates participation and investment from the client. With this commitment, small changes to self-defeating behaviors alongside a deeper understanding of your feelings and inner self.

I enjoy working with people who are motivated to understand and address their issues. Most people come in with relationship, family and/or work and career issues and many express feelings of depression, anxiety or "stuckness" about where they are in their lives. People exist within the context of their families, workplaces and friendships. I help them understand the roles they take up in relationships and how to make adjustments to improve the quality of their interactions and decision making processes. I use EMDR along with talk therapy and homework assignments, as appropriate.

I believe we all have the capacity to both change and achieve the sense of fulfillment, strength and confidence we desire.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.

Having a therapist who is actively listening, responding, and engaged can make a world of difference - and quite literally lift the weight of the world off one's shoulders. My job is to support you and help you think through new angles on your life; to help you create the space and lightness you crave. Whether you are mourning a life you envisioned that you can no longer have or dealing with burnout from the life you do have, my priority is getting you back on your feet with tools and refreshing ways to think about the life, facts, and situations you are presented with.
