I maintain a general private practice with a specialty in the treatment of trauma with offices in the Flatiron District of Manhattan and in Montclair, New Jersey. Whether you have experienced a major traumatic event, suffer from from acute or chronic anxiety and/or depression or whether you are feeling frustrated or stuck in repetitive patterns in your work or personal life, effective psychotherapy can help bring about empowerment, growth, and positive, lasting change. I am an active participant in each treatment and will work relationally with you to address your concerns. I also specialize in the use of more body-based modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing). I have found, and current research is validating, how essential a healthy mind/body connection is to facilitating any real and lasting shifts from old habituated patterns to new, more adaptive ones, and I have found these modalities particularly effective in this regard.

I am a trauma informed therapist that uses a toolbox of methods to take the journey with you and help you heal the issues that are causing you pain. I am empathic, creative and I love to laugh. A good laugh heals a lot of hurts. — Madeleine L’Engle The bulk of my experience comes from working with vulnerable populations that carry a lot of trauma. That is the homeless population that includes LGBTIA, youth and adults with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders. My approach is structured and relational. I transfer my trauma informed experience to this format to co-create with you the best plan to address your issues.

I’m a New York psychotherapist offering in-person and virtual sessions for individuals and couples. My goal is to help you better understand your situation and draw on your strengths, abilities, and inner resources. As we work together, you’ll have my full attention and presence, along with compassion, empathy, and insight to support you throughout the process. I don’t use a boilerplate method. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, history, and hopes for the future. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside my clients as they grow, change, and pursue both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. As a licensed psychoanalyst with a PhD in Organizational Behavior and experience in both corporate and academic settings, I bring an approach grounded in clinical expertise and a practical understanding of the challenges you face. My hope is that we can work together to better understand your story and move your life forward in meaningful new ways.

As your therapist, first and foremost I will respect the courage of your decision to seek therapy and create a foundation of safety, acceptance, and collaboration. I strongly believe that symptom reduction (e.g., anxiety, panic, constant worrying, depression, high stress levels, complex PTSD), and an exploration of the root causes of your most distressing problems are both vital aspects of a helpful therapeutic experience. I foster a therapeutic relationship that honors my clients’ conscious minds as well as feelings, symptoms, and behaviors that they may find confusing and painful, but may be clues to presenting problems. I also consider my clients' current life situations holistically, collaborating with them to explore physical, nutritional, general life style, social support, and self-regulation issues to find areas of resilience as well as those that could be strengthened. Presently, I work with late teens and adults of all ages. I work with clients who struggle with symptoms which may be the aftermath of loss, abuse or other difficult experiences, or are simply perplexed with why they repeat distressing patterns which cause them pain. My clients may enter therapy to explore "why they have such difficulty regulating their emotions", or, "why they continue to pursue relationships that are ultimately painful", or, "why it's so hard to feel anything"; they may also enter therapy to receive assistance with specific issues such as life transitions, relationship difficulties, and work or academic problems. I also specialize in the impact of past and current interpersonal trauma or loss on parenting capacities, and assist my clients when these experiences interfere with being loving and supportive parents in the present. My work blends relational psychotherapeutic approaches, trauma-focused assessment and treatment, and psychoeducation for both clients and their families where appropriate. My trauma studies, which included EMDRIA-approved advanced EMDR training, as well as principles of Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, have solidified my longstanding belief that therapy must often go beyond talk and attend to messages from our physical selves that may provide clues to where we are most "stuck". While I have been trained in several modalities and my approach is eclectic, I will meet you where you are presently to address the problems that are most distressing to you.

Finding the right therapist for you, or your child, is important. As a drama therapist and licensed creative arts therapist, I believe creative process is fundamental to development and well-being.

Incorporating play and creative arts, I provide therapy that allows children to overcome personal issues in a safe, age-appropriate form, increasing their sense of play and coping skills for life conflicts.

I work with a wide array of individuals and couples. My clients range in age from early 20's to 90's and come from all walks of life.

I enjoy helping people to access their strengths and to come to a more balanced and peaceful place in their lives. In recent years I have developed an interest in working with patients who have suffered neurological illnesses, such as focal brain lesions resulting in strokes and subsequent conditions such as sphasia.

Maybe you recently suffered a breakup, divorce. These same feelings and conflicts follow you into the workplace, as you miss that promotion or the best projects go to your colleagues. You're business isn't growing the way you expected. Your difficulty connecting is making it harder to network, you're not feeling secure in your environment.

My specialization is in relational attachment, creative blocks, and trauma. Modalities include art therapy, talk therapy, and EMDR. The services I offer are provided in a safe, comfortable environment, where we can focus on your needs and concerns.

At Keene Murray Therapy, our approach to helping people is: Creative. Our work is shaped both by our immersion in creative arts and by our extensive background in a variety of psychological approaches. Respectful. We recognize that our clients are the only ones who can truly tell their story. Our function is to help clients identify and achieve their goals. Non-pathologizing. We believe that most problems are simply former solutions that no longer work. We help clients discover more adaptive means to meet life's challenges. Collaborative. We value the interpersonal quality of a therapeutic relationship that acknowledges the effects and influences that both client and therapist contribute. Depth-oriented. Experience has shown us that significant change has its roots in the multi-layered interconnectedness of a person's inner life. We accompany clients as they explore and learn to navigate this strange and exciting territory. Groups I work with include: Elders facing adjustment or end-of-life issues, couples (including gays/lesbians) with relationship difficulties, families experiencing inter-generational problems, victims of trauma (e.g., car accidents, violent attacks, natural disasters), children and teens needing psychological assessment of intellectual and/or emotional functioning.

We provide receipts for insurance reimbursement purposes. Check with your insurance company about their out-of-network policy.

I believe what is accomplished in psychotherapy is co-created by both the patient and the therapist. I am interactive and relational. I have training and experience in a wide variety of issues and have worked with people from many different backgrounds. I believe in tailoring the treatment to the individual rather than trying to fit the person into a particular theory. Therapy is about self-actualization. There are many roadblocks to becoming the person we want to be. I see therapy as a way of understanding and eliminating these blocks. Self-knowledge provides us with choices. When we understand our patterns, it becomes easier to get past them. I specialize in LGBTQ issues and work with individuals and couples. My practice is diverse in terms of age, ethnicity, and sexuality and gender identification. I have extensive experience with trauma and survivors of sexual abuse. I love my work and have a natural curiousity and interest in people.

Are you feeling lost or stuck in your life or some aspect of it? Do you feel like you are on a treadmill and lacking a deeper sense of meaning in your life? Do you feel a gap between where you are and where you want to be? I want to help you achieve your American Dream – discover it, define it and go after it. I also want to help you find more pleasure in your daily life – those simple joys that might be passing you by unnoticed. It is possible to do both. Through dialogue, exercises and sensory exploration, you will gain the focus you need to create the life you truly desire while carving out time and space to live a full and passionate existence right now. Life is too short to live a life unfulfilled. In one on one sessions (in person, on the phone or via Skype), together we create strategies so that life is as rich and fulfilling as it can be. We find ways to manage stress, deal with the overwhelm of modern life and find creative ways to solve problems. We are collaborators in the process, and I am here to support and guide you as well as provide accountability so you make progress.

Are your relationships troubled and disappointing? Do your fears and worries get in the way of your being your most creative, productive self? Do you sometimes find yourself in the same situations or repeating behaviors over and over, and you don't know how to find your way out? Habitual ways of reacting and behaving often began as the means of coping with the stresses of childhood, but are no longer useful or appropriate. I would like to help you become "unstuck", become less anxious and worried, feel more comfortable with yourself and happier with your relationships and work. In sessions, I work to listen deeply and create an accepting atmosphere. There, you can become curious about your thoughts, feelings and actions, explore how your past is influencing your life today and confront the repeating patterns of emotional reaction and behavior that get in the way of your finding satisfaction in your relationships and work. My approach to therapy is eclectic with a strong psychodynamic base for understanding the problems that bring people to seek help. In addition to my training in psychology, my early training was as a dance/movement therapist and I continue to have an interest in the connection between mind, body and emotions and the nonverbal aspects of communication and relating.

My favorite author once wrote, “It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening,” which inevitably means that there are times in everyone’s life when living becomes too heavy, complicated, confusing, painful and/or difficult to manage. I, personally, know that feeling all too well. But what if you could learn to honor and express your heartbreak, your pain and your struggle without suffering through it or allowing it to control you? What if you could learn to manage the stress of tomorrow by choosing to live mindfully today? Pain is inevitable and often uncontrollable, as we are all intensely experiencing now in the midst of COVID-19. I know it can feel unfair and overwhelming, but, while pain may be unavoidable, suffering is a choice based on how we process, cope, and react to challenges that life throws our way. Each of us has the power to choose differently and to create positive change. With the right guidance and support, you can learn to free your mind, and, in doing so, free your life. Passionate about fusing traditional psychotherapy with an integrative and holistic approach, I offer an opportunity to connect mind and body. I specialize in working with diverse individuals and families, especially teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety and stress, relationship challenges, life transitions low self-esteem and depression.

Whether your relationship is on the brink of separation or is already healthy and you are looking for enrichment, I can help. I also work with individuals struggling with relationship difficulties.

Why put your life and health on hold when you can get help today?

Is there something in your life that is preventing you from living in a more satisfying way?

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults with a range of issues including trauma, grief and loss (including pet loss), anxiety, depression, substance abuse/addiction, and life transitions. Sometimes our experiences transcend words, and as an art therapist, I offer the opportunity for expression in both visual and verbal language. It is a challenging task to undertake the journey to know oneself fully and to experience and accept all parts of oneself. We each have a unique story and it is my privilege to bear witness as you create and embrace yours.

All of us struggle with barriers that inhibit our ability to expand in the world of work or relationships, experience vitality and creativity.

I have focused the majority of my clinical career helping clients break the destructive, reactionary patterns of anger, to provide relief, and hope, for growth and change. I show clients healthy ways to voice their needs and wants and how to heal from past pain. I believe that given the safety of the therapeutic process, clients will emerge, and show their authentic selves’. It is through this process where couples learn to validate the others experience and truly hear one another’s needs and wants. Restored connection comes from becoming present: leaving the past behind and removing conditions of the future. Once clients can connect in this way, they use their own inherent strengths to make the changes they need. They become compassionate and responsive to the other. Not all couples are able to repair the damage caused by years of fighting and hurting one another. Sometimes the fear of being alone can keep couples stuck. Sometimes it is children that keep couples stuck. Sometimes the decision is made to separate, and divorce, but they are unable to do so in a constructive way. I help couples to move forward, toward separation/ divorce, in a very clear, conscious way.

I have worked with a diverse population treating all ages, from teenagers to the elderly. In my practice, I help to build a safe, warm and accepting environment where clients can feel encouraged to express themselves. I use a variety of methods focusing on an approach that is customized to each patient's unique needs and healing process.In my work, I have treated individuals with low self-esteem, distorted body image, eating disorders, panic attacks, and difficult transitions in life.
