I am a licensed psychoanalyst and psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. My practice is built at the intersection of multiple areas of expertise, combining the deep methodology of psychoanalysis with a rigorous PhD in Business Administration and Organizational Psychology. In our work together, you’ll have my full attention and presence as we address the patterns and obstacles that hold you back. My goal is to help you better understand your challenges and draw on your strengths, abilities, and inner resources. 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 achieve both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, broad life experience, 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.

Dr. Matthew Paldy I work with individuals and couples suffering from grief, trauma, and emotional wounds that often lie beneath everyday functioning. My practice is grounded in a depth-oriented, relational approach that honors both conscious experience and the powerful, often unspoken forces of the unconscious. My work is shaped by two guiding principles: * Deep Listening: A psychoanalytic approach that helps you understand how loss, trauma, and early experiences live on inside you—shaping your feelings, relationships, and sense of self. * Trauma-Informed Care: A sensitive, attuned, and collaborative process that respects the impact of trauma on the body, mind, and relationships. Together, our work can help you: Process grief, loss, and traumatic experiences that may feel overwhelming, frozen, or unresolved. Make sense of emotional pain that can feel confusing, isolating, or impossible to put into words. Reconnect with your inner strengths, capacities, and capacity for meaning, even in the aftermath of suffering. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, memories, relationships, and hopes for the future. I see therapy as a shared journey in which you are not alone with your pain. It is deeply meaningful to accompany my clients as they mourn, heal, and gradually rediscover connection, purpose, and vitality in their lives. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, lived human understanding, and deep respect for how difficult grief and trauma can be. My hope is that together we can better understand your story, give voice to what has been silenced, and help you move forward in ways that feel authentic, safe, and meaningful.

Erika is an LCSW who shows up with honesty, warmth, and a genuinely human presence. Her path into this work began on the client side of the therapy room, where the support and gentle challenges she received had a profound impact on her life. That experience inspired her to create a similar environment for others—one that feels grounding, supportive, and deeply connected. She understands that each person enters therapy with their own identity, history, and lived realities. As a white therapist, Erika is aware of the privilege she holds and is committed to ongoing learning, unlearning, and practicing in ways that are anti-racist and socially conscious. Her intention is to meet you without assumptions, to honor you experiences, and to make space for your truth.

Welcome! Life challenges, stress, and adverse experiences negatively impact our ability to function as well as our quality of life. It takes courage and hard work to make the necessary changes to achieve and maintain happiness. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment that will facilitate the healing process. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based skills and techniques that can be applied to all areas of life.

I try to help individuals who have become stuck in their lives, or couples/families who have become trapped in the "dances" they do together, find the freedom, strength and trust to move once again. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, races, cultures and orientations. Each treatment is individually tailored to the particular patient or family. My specialties are in couples and relationship work, parenting and family dynamics, directional confusion, anxiety, depression, and loneliness, as well as in many other areas. I also help new and seasoned psychotherapists build and evolve their practices. Skype or Facetime video-conferencing available under certain circumstances. Please inquire.

I work with each Client to help them set and achieve their own individualized goals. I find that the majority of the time, it is our own self-destructive thoughts and behaviors that hold us back from living life to its full potential. By changing our counterproductive thought patterns we can eventually become our best resource to live a fulfilling and beneficial life. As a Music Therapist, I believe that music can be an enjoyable, positive, at times nonverbal, approach to psychotherapy, offering a creative outlet in the exploration of emotional, behavioral, social, and cognitive issues. The creative process tends to come naturally to individuals of all ages and often aids in processing and expressing anger, sadness, grief, anxiety or difficult experiences. Music Therapy is highly beneficial when exploring anxiety, family issues, anger, socialization and self esteem, and development disabilities, especially those on the Autism Spectrum.

I believe there is an inner wisdom in each person. If this quiet, inner place of truth and understanding is heard, respected and trusted it will guide healing. I encourage people to have faith in themselves and their own healing process. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 20 years. I treat adult individuals in an atmosphere of respect and privacy. I focus on educating people to understand themselves and learn skills to empower them to take charge of their lives. I teach clear, effective, communication skills and assertiveness to help people stand up for themselves and improve relationships. To facilitate more complete healing I like a team approach combining nutrition, massage, acupuncture yoga and tai chi. Although I am in private practice I work with a network of practitioners. I specialize in treating trauma whether it is single incident trauma or chronic, repeated trauma. I use body oriented approaches to psychotherapy such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Focusing as well as Ego State Therapy because I find them to produce quicker and more complete results. I teach Focusing Classes in my office for a nominal fee so people can learn mindfulness and self awareness skills to use on their own outside of therapy sessions. I provide monthly practice sessions free of charge.

If you are experiencing any form of anxiety, know that there is help out there. You may be suffering with panic attacks which leave you feeling scared and defeated and not wanting to engage in certain situations, because you are fearful of having another one. You may find that you are isolating yourself because your social anxiety is controlling you, instead of you controlling it. You may have anxiety from some horrific past experience and it continues to plague you. Whatever your issue, you don't need to suffer or miss out on the things in life that you want to partake in. There is scientific evidence that therapy can help reduce these feelings and free you to live the life you want to live. Take the first step to help yourself and call or email me.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has been empirically shown to be a very successful model for couples & families. I work with couples to help create more satisfying, intimate relationships through understanding & resolving conflicts, repairing old wounds, improving communication skills and learning to develop greater empathy in a climate of mutual trust & respect. I also have experience with issues of sexual orientation & the gay/lesbian community & their families. I also work with individuals who are having difficulty with life and relationship issues, and who realize old solutions are no longer effective. We work together towards reducing distressing feelings such as anxiety & depression and developing strategies to deal with life’s problems & transitions such as job changes, parenting concerns and trauma to name a few.

Creating an emotional connection with your partner can garner a sense of validation and trust that can help in many aspects of your relationship. If you feel you keep having the same arguments time after time, identifying negative patterns of interaction can improve communication and help you create new and more honest ways of relating to your loved one.

I maintain a general private practice with a specialty in the treatment of trauma, primarily working virtually (over Zoom) with some in-person availability in my office 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 symptom resolution, personal 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 Presence psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) SE (Somatic Experiencing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and CT (Coherence Therapy). I have found, and current research is validating, how essential a healthy mind/body connection is to facilitating any real and lasting shifts from historic and habituated patterns to new, more adaptive ones, and I have found these modalities particularly effective in this regard.

Life’s many transitions and challenges often make it difficult to operate from a calm, centered, self led position. Working together in a warm, supportive environment, we can begin to understand the driving forces behind actions that may not be getting you the results that you would like. My work is informed by a number of different models of therapy, but the one that resonates with me the most is Internal Family Systems. The Center for Self Leadership describes the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) as offering "a clear, non-pathologizing, and empowering method of understanding human problems as well as an innovative and enriching philosophy of practice that invites both therapist and client to enter into a transformational relationship in which healing can occur." Many issues can be addressed in short term therapy. Working together, we can decide the time frame that suits the resolution of the presenting problem

As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address both broad and specific problems and help people find solutions to life's conflicts and stressors. Chronic stress and chronic relational conflicts often become obstacles to leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding existence. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable people to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors, as well as crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to individual needs and focuses on building a collaborative dialogue in which to work towards identified therapeutic goals. This includes symptom reduction (anxiety, depression, self-harm), as well asworking with issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, creative blocks, performance anxiety, infertility and parenting issues, among others. Consulting with a psychologist and taking the step forward to begin psychotherapy can be one of the best investments you make in yourself. Therapy is an effective tool to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster personal growth. Research has shown that psychotherapy enhances overall mental health, and self-esteem. Psychotherapy can also be helpful in making informed decisions regarding real life dilemmas. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which to explore the subtle and not-so-subtle psychological and emotional factors that influence all aspects of one's life.

I am in practice over 20 years in a spacious and easily accessible office on Manhattan's upper west side. I also meet with people over Skype for those who are in other countries or other places in the United States. I am also a speaker of Mandarin, Chinese. I work with both couples and individuals both short term and long term. I specialize in treating the foreign born and particularly those from Asian cultures but work also with many others on problems including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family problems, self esteem and work related stress. I work well with people who are reluctant to begin therapy. I am the former Coordinator of Counseling Service for Hunter College's International English Language Institute and also see many students from NYC universities. I am also a psychoanalyst and some people prefer to see me with greater frequency each week so that we can explore the inner life in more depth in order to achieve lasting and deep change.

Give me a call, especially if you need a good relationship therapist. Even if your partner doesn't want to go to couples counseling, I can give you tools to talk and listen differently. All relationships go through the romantic phase, but inevitably, whether it's within 18 minutes, or 18 months, the Power Struggle starts. That's when relationships run into trouble. Remember, couples don't go to couples counseling ONLY when they are ready to break up--and many can save their relationships if they don't wait until it's too late. One couples session can change the way your relationship sounds. Twelve sessions can change your entire outlook. Many people come to therapy or counseling when they have tried traditional routes, and are now looking for something non-traditional, or simply out of the ordinary. Sometimes desperate times call for unique measures. I have been trained in Shamanism by Alberto Villoldo, Joan Poelvoorde, Michael Harner, and Robert Moss. As part of this work, I am dedicated to environmental awareness, including wilderness preservation and global environmental conservation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York City. My office is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, near Columbia University. I work with adults from college age and up who want help addressing problems ranging from depression, anxiety, and relationship issues to addiction, co-dependency, and the effects of early trauma. I believe psychotherapy should provide a sense of comfort and support as the starting point for addressing emotional problems. I have more than 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist, and have been affiliated with The Hazelden Foundation since 1997.

Practicing individual, marital and family therapy for almost 20 years. Educated and trained in California, interned, licensed, and practiced in Boston, Massachusetts. Dual licensure in Mass. as MFT and MHC. Currently practicing in the Upper West Side of Manhattan with focus on couples/marital counseling.

One way describe therapy is that it is simply a conversation centered specifically your life. It is different from talking to family or friends because the historical complications that can accompany talking with family and friends are removed. Of course the image that people carry of therapy may be different from what I just described and may be more specific as well. For some the image of therapy is lying on a couch while their analyst makes occasional comments about their free associations. For others the therapist is very active with lots of comments, advice, and direction. Which is the correct method? Is something else the right way? My belief is that it depends on what is best for each patient because everyone is different and therefore has different needs. It’s true that I have a style and don’t just become some new therapist with each given session. Rather, what I am saying is that I take what each person’s experiences have been and where they come from into major consideration when working with each person. Consider that I don’t talk to my fifteen year old patients exactly the way I speak to my fifty year old patients. Imposing some pre-existing template onto a person neglects who they are. This is ineffective at best and injurious in its insensitivity at worst. As a result, meeting a therapist and talking to see if there is compatibility is what I recommend. This simply helps to establish whether a second conversation is a good idea.

You’re looking for a therapist, so you probably want to feel better and to solve problems with your relationships, your work, or elsewhere in your life. You might also be looking for counseling for someone you care about . I’m committed to helping people like you. If you'd like to ask me about the things you specifically want to see change, or any other questions, please contact me. I’ll bring to our work together more than 20 years of success helping people deal with problems. My style is warm, compassionate, interactive and practical. Our goal will be that you quickly see results in your life. If you are repeating patterns that you know aren’t what you really want, if you struggle with self-care, if you are anxious or depressed (or both), if how you think and interact gets you into trouble, or you just generally feel stuck, those are among the many things we can productively address. Whether you’ve never had a single session of psychotherapy or you have tried many different methods, if you are ready for change, I am committed to helping you achieve it. I What you can expect from me: A safe, comfortable environment, respect, empathy and compassion, partnership in meeting your goals, experience and intuitive understanding. We'll work with your strengths as well as what you'd like to have change. I’m trained in many different psychotherapy and counseling skills. Together we will decide what track is right for you.

“Does your child or teen suffer from anxiety, depression, sleep issues or other difficulties at school or at home? These problems can cause a great deal of pain, sadness, and frustration for a child and his or her family. Some children are faced with the challenge of adjusting to a major change in their lives, such as a death in the family, a medical illness, or a divorce. Others have a learning disability or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which can impact their self-esteem and functioning at school and at home. Some children have difficulty making friends. My aim in working with children and adults is to help them to identify their strengths, to cope with weaknesses, and to ultimately meet their goals. I strive to help your child feel happier, more confident and better able to cope with difficulties. Therapy can help alleviate the suffering of your child and facilitate growth and development. I meet with parents regularly to discuss your concerns or just to check in. Please feel free to call me if you would like to schedule a consultation or if you have any questions or concerns!”

In my private practice I seek to create a warm and caring place for you to strengthen your self-confidence and develop skills that enhance your personal growth. I view therapy as a guided process of self-discovery. Whether it begins in response to a traumatic event or at a time when positive change is sought, old patterns of behavior and thought can stand in the way of healthy communication and exchange of feelings. Therapy provides access to methods that strengthen skills so that new and healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviors take the place of old unhealthy ones. The therapuetic approach is determined by your needs and is strength based. The process is guided by the belief that you already possess the ability to make things better. It takes courage to reach out to a professional therapist. My style is down-to-earth and emphasizes supportive listening so that you feel understood. I provide specific feedback throughout the process that helps you work toward your goals. In working together, we can discover the strategies that work best for you. Counseling services are available to individuals, couples, children, adolescents and families.

I truly believe that dating & relationships are all about you! And that's great news, because it means if you're not happy with your situation...YOU have the power to change it! Start taking action toward the relationship of your dreams! It’s all about your choices, your actions, your thoughts and feelings. Energy is contagious, and like attracts like. What kind of energy are you radiating? As your coach I will help you decide EXACTLY what you want and need in a relationship. That means helping you identify your past patterns (trust me you have them) and creating a set of personal rules to guide you through picking a better partner next time. Most importantly I'll help you feel great about yourself and inspire positive energy. Self-confidence is incredibly attractive! And if you're currently in a relationship, I can help you make it the best it can possibly be! I'll even help you decide if it's the right one for you or not. So many people stay in the wrong relationship because they think it's the best they'll get. Or because they're afraid to admit they're not happy. If that's what's going on with you I'll listen closely and together we'll figure out what's best for you! In addition to my training, I have twenty years of personal dating experience and I'm now blessed to enjoy a completely healthy, incredibly happy true partnership with a wonderful man who's the love of my life. I want to help you find the same romantic bliss!

Are you seeking change, are you in crisis, does your life seem to be falling apart? I can help you ease the suffering or crisis that exists. I work through issues by understanding Relationship: relationship to the self, with your family, with your love relationships, relationship with friends and colleagues, and how to sustain these relationships. Another major life and soul issue is finding your purpose, and creating a vision of the future, which are the keynotes to happiness. I am informed by a number of theoretical traditions and techniques for change, i.e. positive psychology, psychoanalysis, transpersonal psychology (inner child archetype work), cognitive/behavioral psychology, psychosynthesis, and soul psychology (the Science of the Soul). Whatever the tradition, however, loving relationship is the focal point of the work.

Have you chosen to take the first step toward resuming control in your life? This is an excellent beginning toward creating and attaining your personal goals. This is a journey of self-discovery you will no longer make alone. I would enjoy helping you to overcome your fears and problems that are stopping you from moving forward. We will discuss issues (past and present) that have kept you immobile. From there, you will gain insight My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one; I believe in being interactive and encourage a dialogue while we work together in a professional, yet comfortable, setting. I have 30+ years of experience as a psychotherapist and although psychodynamically trained, I employ an eclectic approach because each individual is distinct. In addition to my work as a therapist, I have a background in the performing arts (dance and music) which gives me an understanding of issues related to performers.

My approach to therapy is aimed at achieving tangible progress, working with clients to improve their daily lives. I direct a team of psychologists on the Upper West Side of New York, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work with clients. CBT is an evidence-based therapy which is action-oriented, short-term, and practical. It is a powerful tool for addressing depression, stress, relationship or identity issues, family problems, fears, or traumatic memories. CBT can help you improve your mood, reduce your anxiety, and enrich your relationships Traditional therapy often focuses heavily on self-knowledge and insight. While self-knowledge is helpful, usually it is not enough to produce real, tangible improvement. If this has been your experience, it may be time for a new kind of therapy – one which is oriented toward action. I believe that understanding ourselves is just part of the process, and I will do my best to help you take the steps which come after understanding and lead to growth.
