Relationship Issues Therapists in New York, NY

Are you finding it difficult to cope with your overthinking, negative feelings, and anxious thoughts? Do your negative feelings associate with your appearance, self-worth, or accomplishments? Does it sound like “I’m not good enough, I will never succeed, I’ll always be alone, I hate the way I look, No one cares about me”? Do your anxious thoughts manifest in difficulty sleeping, working, or socializing? Do you feel you need a place for someone to hear you, see you, and validate your experience? Would you like to acquire coping skills for anxiety regarding your relationships, your career, or communication?

As a licensed clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst, I facilitate my clients' efforts toward self-reflection, help them gain a clearer understanding of their life experiences, and bring awareness to their patterns of relating. Although I am also trained in CBT, my orientation is primarily psychodynamic; it promotes self-exploration and insight, along with productive behavior change. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions, offering alternative perspectives, and suggesting new ways of thinking about issues that may be getting in the way of living a more satisfying life.

With warmth, empathy and often humor, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel free to explore the past, engage fully in the present and create the future that you envision for yourself. I will meet you where you are on your journey with sensitivity to your unique lived experience, as well as foster a therapeutic relationship that is both interactive and collaborative. Together, we can identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may not be serving you while developing concrete skills that will bring you closer to achieving your goals and help you connect more deeply to your authentic self and others.

Understanding the value that therapy can bring to a person’s health and wellbeing, I strive to provide a safe space for everyone who enters my office. I have experience working with a diverse population providing individual, couples and family therapy. Although I may be an expert in the field, I know my clients are experts in their own lives. By working together, I hope changes can be made and for their goals to be reached.

We all have the ability to heal from our pain. I am committed to reducing suffering and fostering hope. Studies confirm the most positive outcome from therapy is based on the strength of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create an empathic, safe, honest and collaborative environment where you are supported and deeply understood. I have successfully treated depression, anxiety, trauma, complicated grief, PTSD, dual diagnosis, and a broad spectrum of disorders. I believe part of this success is my focus on you as a person - not solely on the issue or disorder. It is possible to lead a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

Together we will create a safe place to address issues that are holding you back from creating the life you want.

You may have wondered whether therapy could be helpful to you. I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; nothing you tell me will shock or surprise me. I can help you work through your difficulties and also help you become your own therapist by learning how to better deal with challenges that come up in life. I work well with clients struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic, depression, relationship, eating and body image, and addiction issues. Clients often see reduction in symptoms and improved well being early on in therapy.

Are you struggling with: effective, respectful communication with your partner; trauma recovery; difficulty setting limits or establishing boundaries; repeating unhealthy patterns of thinking, behavior, or emotion; identifying your needs and getting your needs met; day-to-day state of anxiety, anger, fear, or sadness; a difficult life transition. Have you been in therapy before, but didn’t achieve the change you were hoping for? Somatic Relational Therapy might be for you. We can’t think or talk our way out of trauma. We live in a body, and we experience suffering and trauma in our bodies, and it is through our body that we heal.

Sometimes in life we feel disconnected from ourselves and the people we love most. We feel a strong desire for change whether we know exactly what that change is yet or not. At times that change is forced upon us due to a loss of some kind in which we find ourselves grieving and in pain. Or the change we want feels unacceptable and risky. As a therapist, I believe in the transformative power of change. I believe we all possess internal wisdom and the ability to change in ways that are needed and desired. I am also aware that change can be scary and feel impossible at times.

I believe authentic relationships are the key to authentic healing. We all have experienced pain, struggles, or difficult transitions in our lives, but we have not always had the opportunity to reflect, heal, and learn from these moments within the context of a close and safe environment. I believe that a collaborative and therapeutic relationship can be a life-changing experience as it helps you process current and past pains, become more self-aware, develop more meaningful relationships, and experience thriving in your life.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center (G&STC) is a psychotherapy group focusing on providing LGBTQ+, kink, and poly competent therapy.

Have you noticed frustrating, recurring patterns in your relationships with romantic partners, family members, or bosses and coworkers? If so, I may be able to help. Therapy provides an opportunity to identify and understand these patterns, and to work together to find ways to change them. Often, a key element of the work involves understanding how past experiences or relationships have shaped and contributed to your present-day life.

I've been a practicing psychotherapist in the New York City metropolitan area for over 25 years. Most of my clients are adults with relationship problems, work issues, anxiety or depression. Some have histories of trauma. My approach to therapy is generally a psychodynamic one with a focus on the here and now. I also use mindfulness, hypnosis, ego state therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as tools in treatment. I have found that this eclectic approach is helpful to clients as one size does not fit all.

Are you struggling with depression and anxiety? Using alcohol or drugs to cope? Do you find it hard to communicate your needs in your relationships? Feeling frustrated that you keep repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns over and over again? We will work together to identify the underlying reasons for your sadness and anxiety, and resolve challenges in your relationships. Therapy can help you feel calmer, less stressed, change unhealthy relationship patterns, improve the level of trust and communication in your relationships, and lead to positive lifestyle changes.

It is possible to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life even if you have found yourself stuck in an unhealthy pattern, have struggled with long-term difficulties, or just cannot figure out what is holding you back. I provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults in a safe and supportive environment. Together we will explore the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that might be hindering your personal growth and happiness in order to help you develop more effective coping strategies and take control of your emotional well-being.

I have been a therapist for over 30 years. I work with people of all ages (except children under 18), dealing with depression, anxiety, and most other mental and/or emotional issues.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just stuck, uncertain how to access the life we want to live, unsure how to feel better. I help clients examine their patterns, better understand their unique life situations, and forge a path toward real change. Through compassionate curiosity, I invite my clients to deepen self-awareness and hear themselves in a new way. As your therapist, I bring a thoughtful presence, a sense of humor, and an honest style of communication. Together, we will form goals for your personal growth, face difficult truths, and tap into your innate resilience.
