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.

Welcome. I'm Dr. Matthew Paldy, PhD, a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst and Psychotherapist. You may be seeking help because of an upsetting event in your life, or you may have struggled with a particular issue for a long time. I am warm and collaborative and will listen carefully to your thoughts and feelings and work closely with you to find the true reasons and meaning behind your suffering. When these are fully understood you can move through life with more calm, confidence, and clarity. I provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental place where you can be who you are and feel deeply understood. I will help you feel more grounded and empowered so that you can have more positive emotional experiences, improve your self-esteem, and have more satisfying, balanced relationships. I am dedicated to helping my patients. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult relationship, or simply a hard time in life, I can help you overcome your struggles. I welcome people of all backgrounds and orientations. Therapy isn't always easy, but it can change your life..

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.

I specialize in children, adolescents, and adults who suffer from depression, anxiety disorders, etc. Most clients come with doubt as to how a stranger would help them. Having support by a therapist helps tremendously in reaching your therapy goals. Goals are met by the motivation each individual client has. Understanding a client where they are coming from is the first step a counselor does in order to develop a good rapport with clients. I do incorporate mindfulness in therapy but not all the time. Mindfulness is the ability to pay attention on purpose in the present moment. It is very beneficial in therapy. I am here to provide you the tools for you to succeed in your life. Once a client - counselor relationship has been established. then the real work begins! If you are searching for a therapist who is understanding and non-judgemental, please feel free to contact me.

Why Counseling? The reasons people come to therapy is as varied as people themselves. Often, clients have encountered distressing, stressful experiences or situations  which they want to talk about in a safe and private setting. These might include present circumstances of bereavement, separation or other major life transitions or experiences from the past, such in childhood. Others seek help in dealing with specific psychological, or behaviors which they like to alter, such as compulsive thoughts or difficulties relating to people. Some people seek counseling to help them explore a general feeling that their lives are not quite right or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety.  Still,  others look for as part of their effort to discover or create meaning in their lives. Many people are attracted to counseling as an opportunity to undertake personal development in a safe in a safe supportive environment: It is not at all necessary to have problems to find counseling useful.  In addition to help with specific goals or difficulties, clients who undertake counseling may experience general improvement in their quality of life, including; • decreased defensiveness • increased ability to express themselves • improved relationship with others increased self-esteem

I believe each of us has the ability to change. A therapist in Brooklyn, NY. I assist individuals and couples to better understand themselves and create healthy, successful relationships. I provide couples counseling, marriage counseling, family therapy, and relationship counseling to improve communication and end conflicts. Other areas of focus include: resolving issues of anger and stress and overcoming depression, shyness and anxiety. In addition to assisting people with the problems of self-esteem, aging, and self-assertion, I work with individuals coping with illness, grief and loss. Concentrating on individual, relationship and parenting issues. I support people in exploring emotions and overcoming barriers to communication so positive relationships can result. Each individual has unique qualities and talents. Through therapy, we can free ourselves from what holds us back, keeping us from achieving what we want in life. As a writer, I am especially interested in working with writers and creative artists to develop and free their creativity. In addition to providing therapy, I write articles, train therapists at CHD and have taught at the New School ("Exploring the Mind/Body Connection") and Learning Annex ("Stop Being Nice").

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. Many seek help for anxiety, trauma, relationship or work related issues. Some suffer from complicated reactions to grief or bereavement. 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.

You are struggling with the relationships in your life. Perhaps your primary relationship leaves you unfulfilled, disappointed or you find it is full of conflict. Maybe the same feelings of hurt and sadness keep surfacing, arguments are repetitive or you look across the table and wonder why you are together at all. Or, you are out there looking for the right person to share your life with, yet find yourself attracting the wrong people again and again. Worse, you avoid the dating scene altogether, giving up. 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. You are tired of these issues resurfacing and you are ready to take action. You are looking for someone who will help you untangle the knots, identify the patterns and change the behavior.

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. Through verbal sessions, or combined with creative arts and drama therapy techniques, I provide a safe space to explore thoughts and feelings, working toward resolution at your own pace. My approach is particularly effective with children and adolescents. 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 teenagers, understanding the complex nuances of this age, to allow them the ability to express their feelings, ambivalence and confusion around their future. With teens and adults, sessions may focus on working through underlying emotional issues, coping with difficulties and establishing goals for enhanced self-image and confidence. I can help you evaluate various roles you play in life, positive and negative, and make desired changes to develop new roles, new ways of seeing yourself and feeling confident in life. I am LGBTQ-affirmative and support all people in their endeavors to find a happier, more complete sense of self.

My integrative approach ensures you will receive the treatment plan that is right for you.

Imagine having the tools to explain clearly to your partner how you feel about something he/she said or didn't say… Imagine being able to speak to your children in a way that conveys how much you love them, but also firmly establishes limits and boundaries… Imagine the relief in being able to acknowledge, both to yourself and to another person in a safe, confidential therapeutic setting, feelings of hatred and rage toward someone in your life... Imagine being able to clearly and confidently state, "I want my future in 10 years to look like…." and having a mapped out plan to achieve it... We all have struggles. It takes courage to decide to take ourselves off "auto-pilot" and to confront and work through our problems. It takes courage to decide we are ready to look at ourselves, at our patterns of interacting in relationships and in decision-making. By deciding to look into therapy, you have taken the very difficult first step in this process…. I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Manhattan and in Great Neck, Long Island for 10+ years.

Are you looking for a therapist who will not only listen to you, but also speak and offer constructive feedback, instead of just sitting quietly in the background? For many people, it is important to find a therapist who will work to understand you and also actively help you learn about yourself and make changes that lead to a happier life. Some clients have told me that they tried psychotherapy in the past and shared much with the therapist, but ultimately left therapy feeling they received little in return. In my 12 years as a psychologist in Manhattan, I have always been straightforward and interactive with clients. At the same time, I am also a good listener and view my client as a partner in the therapeutic process. My goal—our goal—is to enhance your self-awareness and therefore enable you to become liberated from self-defeating patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The purpose of my work is to decrease your suffering while helping you fulfill your unique potential as an individual. I take what I do very seriously, but I also believe there is a place for humor in my work. I see no contradiction between sometimes being playful while always remaining an effective, serious, and focused healer. My main priority is to create a setting in which you feel understood and free to express and learn about yourself. Creating such an atmosphere always varies depending on the individual. This means that together, over time, we will “custom-fit” your therapy to facilitate your psychological growth.

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 offer phone and video-conference therapy sessions. Home/site visits are available in our neighborhood. We operate on a fee-for-service basis, accepting payments by cash or check. 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 confused? Unfulfilled? Not sure where to turn? It might be time to ask for help. In my practice each person is a unique individual, and believe we each need this validation for there to be growth and development. As a Creative Arts Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst, and Clinical Social Worker, and EMDR practitioner, my aim is to meet your needs using whichever approach is most effective. Art making is always an option, but not necessary, as verbal timing is also an integral part of the healing process. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Often feelings of discontent stem from unrealized overwhelming experiences, past or present. In session we explore these areas, and discover what is most relevant for you. 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. My approach is an eclectic client oriented one grounded in psychodynamic psychoanalytic theory and influenced by the creative process and human development.

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.

I am a New York State licensed marriage and family therapist who works with individuals, couples and groups. I emphasize collaboration and my goal is to support you on your path towards self empowerment, understanding and connection. 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 can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I have had a long history of self exploration and the tools I offer are ones I have used and found to be effective in my own life; tools which you can learn to resolve your own issues. If you are an individual wanting support around a particular issue or just have a desire to be heard and understood; if you are a couple who needs support in resolving conflict or learning more effective communication skills, consider contacting me. Please call or email me for an individual, couples or family therapy session today.

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.

Is there something in your life that is preventing you from living in a more satisfying way? Whether you want to process a particular problem, recover from a recent or past trauma, let go of a negative behavior pattern, or wish to resolve intrusive feelings and emotions, psychotherapy can be of great benefit. Using an integrative approach, mixed with curiosity, humor, empathy and attention to explicit and implicit communication, it is my goal to help you live a more authentic and fulfilling life. 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.
