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.

At Areale Counseling & Wellness, we care about your emotional health and wellness. We offer a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore personal issues, recognize problematic patterns, and formulate new options and solutions to improve their mental wellbeing and quality of life.

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 have been a psychotherapist in private practice for over 25 years. I work with individuals and couples and specialize in a wide range of treatment issues including, anxiety, depression, relationship and marriage problems. I have a particular interest in working with people who have concerns regarding intimacy and problems developing long-term relationships, separation anxiety, parenting, creative blocks, empty nest syndrome, chronic pain and family and work conflicts. I work with many young adults who struggle with transitioning into adulthood and finding their own voices. Although the idea of starting therapy can be scary, it can also be exciting. Therapy is a process of discovery about you which can help you create the life and relationships that really work. It is a process where I help you to talk and learn about your thoughts and feelings. As we focus on the issues you bring to therapy, our talks will affect the ways in which you relate to the world and the impact the world has on you. My clinical approach is not based on one particular theory. I don’t see what I do as “one size fits all.” As I get to know you, the theoretical approach or approaches I take will evolve from our work together. I recognize and respect how different we all are. This means I make a particular effort to work without judgment. I am available for sessions in my office or on the phone.

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. 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. 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 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

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified psychoanalyst specializing in adult treatment. I have a full-time private practice in psychotherapy on the upper west side of New York City. I am interactive in my style with a primary focus on emotions. I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to you and your needs. With intelligence and empathy, I will work with you to help build on your strengths and attain the healing and growth you desire.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. Real progress comes with good psychotherapy that is a match to your needs. Together we will discover what is needed for you to live more fully and to resolve the issues and conditions that have brought you to therapy.

Are you struggling to feel like "yourself" again? Are you unable to feel settled, unable to keep up with your schedule or commitments? Are you feeling upset or more emotional for no apparent reason? Crises, be they large or small, disorient and leave us feeling uncertain, less able to rely upon and function like "ourselves." Growth and change are among the most positive and humanly adaptive qualities and yet the most uncertain and difficult experiences in life. At such times we want unbiased and reliable support to help restore our sense of self and help make positive choices for our lives. I've found the most important predictor in effective treatment is a positive connection between a person and their therapist. I provide a caring approach, empathic attunement, collaborative support, psycho-educational skills training, and the belief that growth and change are possible.

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.

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.

“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!”

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 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.

Just an incredibly dear person with high integrity. Self-reflective and humble, yet very well educated. What I love about Hannibal and Breakthru is his ability to meet clients where they are at and offer them a tremendous amount of respect. That is why I am so drawn to him. It's a big step for many to choose to go to counseling and Hannibal treats people with the utmost dignity" (not requested) I apply a solution-oriented model supported by a broad spectrum of approaches tailored to the unique needs of my clients. As a Counseling Professor I keep myself in ongoing research. I integrate the spiritual dimension into my counseling without any hint of indoctrination or proselytizing. I respect my clients freedom to believe or not to believe.

Sessions look different for everyone. I integrate different styles into my practice and use what may work best for you in a given session. My approach is mind-body based, so we don’t just look at your thoughts and feelings, but also look at how your body respond to our mental and emotional states (anger, sadness, anxiety, happiness…etc). A heavy portion of my work is bringing attention to how we relate to and understand our bodies. I also incorporate the creative/expressive arts (drawing, writing, movement) and this is considered another way to get in touch with parts of ourselves that we may not be aware of. Sometimes creative engagement provides an easier or more natural way to access our inner selves than just talking. I practice from a holistic approach that is social justice oriented, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive.

Healing from the wreckage of child abuse, psychological abuse and addictive disorders is an all encompassing process. I am deeply committed to working with addicts and survivors of complex trauma who are intent on moving beyond survival to a life of fully thriving. An inspired collaboration that sparks curiosity, humor and a powerful creative process of healing and self discovery holds great personal meaning and purpose. If you think outside the box and have the courage to take radical steps towards excavating difficult memories so as to actualize one's true self than I welcome the opportunity to guide you through this process. Drawing from an eclectic traditional and humanistic orientation and holistic and creative resources, we would work together to stabilize addictions, heal core traumatic wounds, dismantle and correct dysfunctional relational patterns, and manifest your unique potentials. Bodywork, psychopharmacology, creative and spiritual exploration may be integrated into the treatment process as warranted. I authored A Clinicians Journey from Complex Trauma to Thriving and co-authored a play performed for at-risk women and girls in the public sector of NYC. My journey of recovery was told through an animated film short by OC87 Recovery Diaries aired on PBS. I am a media resource for HARO & WMC SheSource.

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis." Often my clients are dealing with depression and anxiety related to difficulty making decisions, are stuck in an unsatisfying job, or are feeling confused and uncertain about the next step in their life. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back. I help by exploring underlying resistance/barriers to accomplishing your goals. I help you face your fears by using a combination of CBT, to understand and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, and EMDR which helps to work through and integrate important memories from your past to help you succeed. Together we can go deeper so you can see lasting change and discover your best self. Together we can work to figure out your purpose. Email or call me to set up a complimentary consultation or appointment. Don't just survive. Thrive!

Specializing in working with Gay and lesbian on identity issues, anxiety, problems with intimacy, sexual addiction, communication skills, self-esteem and self-image, personal growth, life transitions, depression, past trauma, adoption, relationship, family issues, immigration issues, survivors of sexual abuse and HIV/AIDS. Late evening appointments. When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable. I am aware of this and I want you to know that when we meet you will find yourself in a comfortable setting where you will be able to tell your story in strict confidence and without the worries of judgment or pressure of any type. We will discuss what you are interested in working on and how I will be able to help you. There will be no pressure to make any decisions or commitments.

You are taking the first step in a promising journey of self discovery and transformation. Allow me to support you as you find new ways of living life and relating to others. Let me help you untangle the knots that keep you from verbalizing your needs and feelings. If you cannot put into words what you feel, your hopes and what you dread, you may act in ways you don't understand or experience anxiety, anger and relational issues, among other afflictions. Ancient wisdom tells us that "every difficulty in life presents us with an opportunity to turn inward and to invoke our own inner resources." (Epictetus). As a psychotherapist, I will help you tap into the wealth of your inner strength so that you can live life to its fullest.

Our mission is simple: provide affirmative psychotherapy in a sustainable way to the community. By affirmative we mean that we do not view individuals from the perspective of being defective or needing to be fixed. We instead recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. Challenging childhoods and distressing adult experiences, coupled with the toxic impact of systemic oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and xenophobia impact our mental health. Our goal is to fill a gap in mental health services provided to those that are historically marginalized and disenfranchised. We strive to be culturally aware and trauma-informed.
