Therapists for college students near New York, NY
I work with individuals, couples, and families through a primarily psychodynamic framework. Through insight-oriented work with a focus on interpersonal relationship dynamics, attachment, and family systems, it is my goal to help the people I work with uncover repressed trauma from childhood and adolescence in order to gain a more nuanced understanding about their unhealthy relationship dynamics, from past and present, in order to live healthier and more fulfilling lives. I enjoy helping my patients develop a deeper sense of self-awareness in order to understand their emotional and interpersonal struggles. There are many different approaches to therapy, and it is my belief that it is best to adapt to the needs of each person I work with. We often learn to understand ourselves, and the actions and behaviors of others, through the lens of our early life experiences. It is my goal to help you disentangle the complex webs that we all form, which may feel insurmountable to conquer alone. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where we will explore uncharted areas of your life to make connections between prior experiences and current emotions in order to develop insight and growth. I strive to foster a compassionate healing environment in which I will help you form inner coping resources, so you may develop healthy relationships, gain self-esteem, and find relief from emotional distress. It is my goal to tailor treatment to fit your individual needs. Some of the most rewarding aspects of my work involve being able to assess your strengths, share that information with you, and help you implement those strengths in a positive way. When you are ready to take the next step, please call or email me for a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you soon. *I am currently seeing patients for both virtual and in-person appointments.
Traditional therapy can often feel like endless conversations with relatively limited results. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, unwanted habits and addictions and you’re ready to make change using concrete techniques, I can help. My clients learn to change their thoughts and feelings with steadfast results. I use the TEAM-CBT approach to therapy that is both efficient and effective in creating lasting change. We will identify your unique needs, develop an effective treatment plan, and utilize powerful techniques that last a lifetime. My clients find that the process itself gives them the confidence to carry out the plan because it is clear and makes sense. Your commitment to the process, like homework in-between sessions, also makes this treatment effective. Throughout it, we’ll monitor your progress to ensure you’re on the right track to healing and wellness. My confidence in this process is grounded in 20 years of experience, my CBT certification through the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and my training and affiliation with the Feeling Good Institute. I am committed to working with diverse clients using a culturally responsive approach because the trust that comes with this understanding and empathy, are also vital to the way we work together. Many of my clients reach their goals within 8 to 12 hour long weekly sessions. An intensive format (longer sessions over a shorter period of time) is also an option if that works better for you. If you're interested in a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit, I'd love to connect with you.

I have been in practice for over 30 years. My practice specializes in anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, phobias, and "life issues." I see college students dealing with stress and anxiety relating to college, career decisions, relationship issues. Also see people who are struggling with bereavement, adoption issues. I work with people of different ages/stages: Young adults, mid-life and senior citizens. When dealing with life issues and anxiety I use Cognitive/Behavioral therapy techniques as well as psychodynamic techniques. When dealing with phobias, I believe in helping patients learn techniques to help relieve some of their anxiety symptoms and then working on their thoughts/cognitions which effect how they talk to themselves. My philosophy is : Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Isn't it time you started enjoying yours.
My approach is person-centered, DBT-oriented, and grounded in a trauma-informed, holistic, and culturally sensitive framework. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and lived experiences. I place a strong emphasis on building practical, evidence-based skills—particularly DBT skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—to help clients better manage emotions, navigate relationships, and cope with life’s challenges. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change while honoring where they are in the present moment.
