Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. For your consideration, I am a Board Certified Masters Level Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified School Social Work Specialist. I also possess a graduate certificate in School Security and Safety Administration. I have been a school social worker for 28 years, and have been in private practice for over 16 years. Please call or email me for an individual, couples, family, adolescent or child therapy consultation today.

My name is Jacqueline Raffaele. I come from a family of therapists, as my father as well as my brother are Clinical Social Workers. I've been in the field for over 10 years; and have diverse experience in a multitude of clinical settings. I believe that our earliest emotional conditioning has an enormous impact on the person we become. We may want the best for ourselves but our unconscious mind is conditioned to seek what is familiar.... not necessarily healthy. In the process of therapy, you will be able to explore unconscious issues and present issues that arise due to this potential trauma, negligence and/or dysfunction. As parenting is the most difficult job of all, many have unconscious emotional difficulties that affect their day-to-day life. We are all worth reaching our full potential and gaining peace, happiness, and success.

What is your soul trying to tell you? The person you were a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, is still inside of you. Each of these selves has a voice, an opinion, and as a result there is a lot of inner noise, which can drown out the voice of your soul, the divine spark within. Subscribing to the spiritual model, I view psychotherapy as a spiritual process. My role is to help you hear the voice of your soul so you can move from where you are to where you want to go. I incorporate insights and techniques from various spiritual traditions as well as from Transpersonal Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Twelve-Step Recovery, and Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy (SSST), in particular. The primary goal of SSST is to strengthen your spiritual self so healthier scripts (behaviors) can emerge in your life. As a psychotherapist, who is also an intuitive and a rabbi, I am fluent in spirituality, and can help you to create a spiritual practice to enhance your psychotherapy.

I am a warm, engaging Clinical Psychologist. My orientation is cognitively-based, so therapy sessions are conversational, pragmatic, and focused primarily on the here-and-now. We work on setting therapeutic goals and collaborate on methods to attain them. In addition to my practice, I am active on the faculty at Weill-Cornell Medical College/New York Presbyterian Hospital. Anxiety is the body’s “hard-wired” false alarm. Defusing these alarms by facing dreaded fears is the central ingredient in overcoming shyness, panic attacks, or phobias. The art of treatment is knowing exactly how to fit the plan to the individual, and what procedures will best bring this about. In established relationships, people come to take each other for granted, which is the root of most other issues. The emphasis is on focusing upon what is or has been wonderful about the relationship, and acting on these strengths. How often are compliments, favors or gifts exchanged? This makes even significant conflict far easier to resolve! Activating oneself, self-care, exercise, taking pleasure and rediscovering a sense of accomplishment in the "little things" is a first and necessary step toward improvement. Surprisingly, progress becomes smoother once the inertia is overcome. Diets don't work. Individualized programs with a minimum of restriction and deprivation are motivating. Healthy foods, eaten frequently, and a positive sense of self go a long way. Moreover, bulimia is treatable, through carefully tailored food choices, mood management, and learning to tolerate a sense of being overwhelmingly full.

It is my privilege and my pleasure to assist individuals, couples, and families in addressing and resolving the effects of overwhelming experience in their lives. I provide assistance in regard to a wide range of experiences from severely traumatic events to more commonplace life challenges. My areas of particular strength lie in the areas of trauma resolution, grief and loss, death and dying, and in non-pharmacological approaches to stress reduction and pain management. As well as being well versed in regard to traditional (or mainstream) psychotherapy, I have an enormous appreciation for alternative and complementary approaches to mental health care and possess training and experience in multiple modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), SE (Somatic Experiencing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and Brainspotting. Clinical supervision is available both for mental health professionals and for those preparing for social work licensure. I maintain a private practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and also enjoy serving as the Treatment Service Coordinator for Trauma/EMDR for the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.

Are You Struggling to Make Peace with a Herpes Diagnosis? HerpesNY! provides a full range of consultation, counseling, and psychotherapy services for individuals who have received a herpes diagnosis and for their family members, other loved ones, and intimate partners. The Emotional Challenges Raised by the Herpes Virus It is widely acknowledged that the emotional challenges of the herpes virus tend to be far more challenging than the physical ones. In addition to practical matters in the areas of health, dating, and sexual intimacy, the herpes virus, for many individuals, serves as a "trigger" or precipitant for additional emotional or psychological reactions and responses. These reactions or responses may be experienced as more or less disabling to those diagnosed and to those closest to them.

In addition to practical matters in the areas of health, dating, and sexual intimacy, the herpes virus, for many individuals serves as a "trigger" or precipitant for additional emotional or psychological reactions and responses. These may be experienced as more or less disturbing to those diagnosed and to those closest to them. HerpesNY! provides a full range of supportive and therapeutic services focusing on: * Crisis Intervention and stabilization. * Facilitation of healthy life adjustment. * Resolution of old traumas that may have been reactivated. * Resolution of relationship issues / building and strengthening healthy and supportive relationships. * Developing and enjoying (or moving back into and reclaiming!) a truly healthy and thriving lifestyle. Individual Counseling or Psychotherapy Individual counseling or psychotherapy is initially the service of choice during the early phases of coming to terms with the herpes virus and its emotional and social implications. This is often supplemented, however, by couples or family counseling or psychotherapy - to the degree that other individuals may also have been affected by the herpes diagnosis. Couples or Family Counseling or Psychotherapy Couples counseling or psychotherapy is often indicated to address issues regarding trust, sexual intimacy, choices regarding health consciousness and future safety, and, in some instances, real or perceived infidelity. Couples counseling or psychotherapy may be indicated for couples who have been together for long periods of time or for those who have come together more recently. An individual who has been diagnosed with the herpes virus may request couples services to assist in negotiating herpes-related issues with former partners or with new ones. Family counseling, including adolescents or children, may be indicated when an adolescent or child has been (regrettably) exposed to information regarding a parent or caregiver having received a herpes diagnosis - or when the individual who has been diagnosed is, themselves, an adolescent or child. Group Counseling or Psychotherapy Following initial stabilization, individuals who have been diagnosed with the herpes virus, or those who are closest to them, often receive great benefit from talking, within a safe and supportive environment, with others whose circumstances are similar. Workshops and Educational Seminars Workshops and educational seminars are offered to physician groups, mental health facilities, hospitals, and other interested community entities. Fees are negotiated based on the location and length of the workshop or semin

JOHN D. RIVERA, LCSW As a therapist and person of diversity I cannot claim to share everyones unique experiences. What I offer is a therapist who can apply the years of education, skills, and clinical experience with openness, compassion and respect for your uniqueness. Our therapy together holds an opportunity to connect through our shared experience of diversity now matter how different. Often my patients share accounts of finding and working with therapist who truly understand them. In their stories I hear the frustration and disappointment around stereotyping, misgendering, and blindness to the individuals cultural identity. Much of my work has focused on the experiences of first or second generation immigrants in the United States. On the positive side my work with these patients has provided an opportunity for the patient and myself to look at the components of their unique identities, thought patterns, influences, and diversity to explore how these factors impact their experience of the here and now.

Every Saturday, I do a free demonstration on Zoom of my practical approach to psychotherapy at 9 AM Eastern. I take a volunteer and discuss a problem, and I show them how to change their emotional and behavioral reactions to the adversity they face. I help people change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to address their problems more effectively. Observing my work will help you see how I teach people practical solutions to their problems. Write to me to get the Zoom link view the free audio and video on this sensible approach to therapy. Do your homework before you choose your therapist. Psychotherapy is more than a confidential relationship where you vent week after week. I teach you skills and ideas you can use for the rest of your life to cope with life's most difficult challenges.
