I am a licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice offering treatment for adults of all ages and from diverse backgrounds. I work in-person and with tele-health. Maybe you’ve had a hard time trusting your feelings or judgement. You may be losing sleep, dissatisfied with your career path, your love life or search for a partner. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, grief, grievance, depression, trauma, life transitions and creative blocks. Such experiences are hard to figure out on your own. As a trained and empathic listener I can help you move beyond destructive patterns of behavior. Over time I can help you reach your personal and professional goals. My style is warm, direct, creative. My main modality: psychodynamic, relationship based, and insight oriented. Yet I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques and realize that every individual’s journey is unique. We work together to understand the obstacles you face, mourn the losses endured, and help you experience more joy with awareness of life's transience.

My specialty is work with writers, visual artists, and other creative professionals. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable talking about whatever is on their mind, in an environment that feels warm, genuine, caring, and spontaneous. During sessions, I listen intently as clients speak and ask questions that are illuminating. Together, we explore the past’s influence upon the present, and how each person’s individual psychology colors the way they see the world. My training in psychodynamic psychotherapy has proven to be effective in this regard. I successfully help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or problems with self-esteem. Other times, people come to me because they suspect they have a role in ‘what is' but can’t put a finger on how, and what to do to make things better. Psychological healing and growth can lead to all sorts of positive changes, not just relief from emotional pain. Ideally, relationships with important others improve, and vocations and avocations become a source of maximum fulfillment. I devote myself 100% towards this end for every person I see.

My specialties include: * Living with physical illness * Counseling the loved ones of people with illness * Couples/relationship therapy * Parenting issues As a therapist, my priority is to customize treatments for the individual and not force clients to conform to predetermined methods. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy, and if appropriate, can offer a combination of these modalities. Above all, I value the creativity and growth potential of every human being. I believe that change is possible no matter how entrenched one may be in a given situation. I accept Aetna and Medicare. I provide invoices to submit for out-of-network benefits with other insurance companies. As I am aware of the prohibitive costs related to health care, I offer a sliding fee scale for those who cannot afford to pay in full. My office is located in midtown Manhattan.

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.

As an interactive, integrative therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. Blending conventional and contemporary approaches, I draw on a variety of modalities and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals. Specialties include working with Adult Survivors of childhood sexual abuse, trauma resolution, LGBT and Questioning people, people infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, gender identity and expression, depression and anxiety disorders. I also provide clinical supervision, individually and in groups for psychotherapists.

One of the most vital aspects of a successful therapeutic interaction is a genuine, empathetic, supportive relationship between the client and therapist. I focus on the client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals. My aim is to provide a warm and nurturing environment where together we can work through and address your personal challenges, develop an understanding of the impact life experiences have on behavior and mood, utilize healthy, constructive coping skills, and empower real change in your life. I am a NYC licensed therapist with a practice dedicated to helping teens, adults, couples, and families living with a variety of issues including work, family, school and relationship stress, depression, anxiety/panic attacks, PTSD, substance abuse, eating disorders/food addiction, and bereavement, in a supportive and welcoming environment.

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.

I am a NYS Licensed Master Social Worker working under the supervision of Aaron Skinner-Spain at NYC Affirmative Psychotherapy . As a Queer Woman of Color my goal is to assist in the creation of a world where LGBTQIA persons are affirmed and nurtured in in all aspects of their life. As I'm sure you've witnessed, our LGBTQIA populations as well as our People of Color are still vulnerable in the current socio-political climate, and so I focus my efforts on these two groups. With that said, I have experience in various other high need areas, i.e. Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, Sexual Trauma, Undoing Institutional Racism, Latinos in the Race Conversation, and Immigration/Unaccompanied Children. I work with individuals who want to empower themselves in their daily lives to live authentically who they are, while creating an affirming and nurturing environment for themselves and others through understanding, acceptance, practice, and transformation.

After a successful career as a banker/consultant, I became a Buddhist and started to understand life in all its dimensions, and our struggles. I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to help people finding joy and fulfillment. I have become fascinated and passionate about neuroscience and how it really informs our behavior, our emotional turmoils, our sense of self and identity, our conflicts with others. It's been really rewarding to find tools and to develop skills that transform the functioning of our brain to leave behind the struggle and open doors to peace and satisfaction. No more "coping" with all that makes us feel terrible! Healing is the option and with technology and the understanding of the nervous system, I apply techniques that regulate the nervous system, create new and better connections in the brain, and allow us to develop awareness and control. I also use techniques to reconsolidate the memories that have been lingering as ghosts and that are at the root of all that trigger us. Clients end up with a different perception, a more positive narrative, and a sense of agency that makes life easier.

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.

I transfer my trauma informed experience to this format to co-create with you the best plan to address your issues. You can expect me to be a guiding light on your journey that will provide safety and emotional support.

Hi, I'm Bushra. I work primarily with Queer and BI/POC folks to navigate feelings of anxiety, grief, loneliness, guilt or shame. I also work with clients who are struggling with vulnerability in relationships, wanting to learn from attachment and trauma experiences, or just looking for a space to process emotions. I specialize in working with anxiety and depression as well as religious and attached-based trauma stemming from familial history. I center my therapeutic approach beyond the boundaries of a Eurocentric lens. I know that when you reach out for support, your main focus is receiving the help that you need. That is why I strive to provide a space where you can feel understood without having to over-explain your identity, your culture, or other parts of what make you, you. I believe that therapy can be one of many ways to heal from and disrupt generational patterns of harm and violence and would be honored to join you in that process. If you’d like to learn more about how we can work together, please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

We need to feel understood, safe, and supported to create life-long change, and in my practice I work to establish a respectful and warm relationship where this growth and development can occur. I believe each person is capable of tremendous change and view giving the gift of therapy as an honor. I find by exploring both the past and the present, clients are better able to recognize life patterns which may be affecting their relationships, career, and overall mental health. However, I also believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, and together we establish the direction and pace of our work. I work with individuals and couples from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Overall, I think you will find my approach open, flexible, affirming, and engaging. Clients usually begin sessions with a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or problems with romantic and personal relationships. I also work with clients on issues of trauma and past abuse, body image and eating disorders, LGBTQI issues, and women's issues.

If you can’t seem to make things work for you, and you want to talk to someone about how to change that, I can help. My job is to provide you with insight into how you get in your way of getting the things you want in life, so you can make changes that will serve you better than the same old same old way of doing things that keeps you stuck in patterns with undesirable outcomes. No doubt about it, change is hard. You’ve been who you are for a long time, and are used to navigating our difficult world in a particular way. The problem is, it just isn’t working. So it’s not surprising that you’re confused, conflicted, anxious or depressed. I have a flexible approach to working with people, since one size does not fit all. My twelve years of training and over a quarter century’s worth of experience working with people has paid off. I’ve learned to listen in a non-judgmental way, and to help you feel safe in revealing your fears, feelings and thoughts, all in your own time, at your own pace. There may be things you want to change about yourself, and other things you want to keep. You get to make all the decisions about who you are and want to be. I’m here to point out what might work better for you, but not to tell you what to do. There’s no magic that can turn things around instantly, but if you’re committed to the process you can make significant strides in a reasonable period of time. I invite you to come in for a no-obligation consultation to see if you feel comfortable talking with me about what in your life is not how you want it to be. If you choose not to continue with me, there's no charge for the consultation.

Are you seeking better relationships, greater career success, or relief from emotional distress? I will work with you to overcome the obstacles to living the life you want. Understanding yourself and others in new ways can increase your ability to relate to people authentically and experience love. Reconsidering recurring patterns that once seemed inevitable or uncontrollable can help you eliminate self-defeating behaviors and discover new choices and options. Acquiring the psychological skills to direct your life more effectively can lead to making lasting changes. Developing your emotional intelligence can promote greater resilience, humor, and capacity for pleasure. In therapy you can clarify your goals and develop the self-confidence and interpersonal skills to attain them, learn to build strong relationships, motivate yourself to achieve professional and financial success, and learn to cope effectively with challenges. The aim is to live more consciously and experience greater satisfaction in life. I provide therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly. I have practiced for over 20 years, and also teach and supervise other therapists. I work with each person as an individual and tailor my treatment approach to your unique needs.

Do past beliefs and negative patterns hold you back from living life fully? If so, you need to know that HEALING and CHANGE are always possible. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE. Successful clients want to change and are committed to the emotional work necessary to achieve their goals. This takes courage...and if you are resonating with this, you have already taken the first step. I work with individuals, families and couples. My areas of expertise include: PTSD/trauma anxiety and phobias depression adults who were wounded as children relationship issues identity and life crises creativity blocks life goals related to aging ...and breaking negative patterns (be they personal, romantic, platonic, familial or professional) Treatment goals are collaboratively identified and are adjusted based on changing client needs and desires. Often, no single treatment technique is sufficient in helping clients achieve both the intellectual insight and emotional understanding needed for lasting change. Among the therapeutic techniques I offer, alone or in combination, are SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, EMDR, Short-Term Solution Focused Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.. i have trained with some of the leading experts in the field of Psychotherapy. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing that I bring to my clients' healing process isn't what I know. IT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

I firmly believe that we as human beings grow in relationships as an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles; my role is to provide a safe environment and a skilled ear in which you are able to become better acquainted with yourself: your thinking, behavior, and feelings so that you can ultimately live a more fulfilled life. For some this means a few months of work and for others a few years. My approach is integrative, collaborative, and informed by my training in depth psychology. Many have described me as gentle, empathic, and non-judgmental. I work with you to illuminate and build on your strengths and empower you to conquer negative patterns so you have greater emotional and overall psychological freedom. Our work takes a commitment from both you and I as we travel together on a journey to help you understand more about yourself and make the changes you desire in your life. My experience is that when we are able to make internal change we are then able to take the next step and make external change. Whether it be depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems or any other struggles, you don't have to do it alone. Give me a call and lets take the next step together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices and technique. Cognitive Therapy lends itself well to all psychological disorders, including challenges associated with problematic styles of personality and mood. Within that framework, I incorporate schema based methods, guiding clients in the discovery and understanding of how core beliefs are developed and influence day ­to ­day decisions, behaviors and reactions. Mindfulness skills are taught, encouraging self- awareness, self­ acceptance and emotional balance. My goal is to teach you what I've learned, arming you with the skills needed for effective functioning and overall well being. Sessions are organized, collaborative and solution focused. Through guided discovery you'll identify patterns of thought and how those patterns influence emotions and behaviors. Modifying dysfunctional thinking is a first step towards improvement. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders; panic, OCD, phobias, generalized anxiety and more. Working with diverse populations and age groups, listening for what's said and unsaid, can lead to a rich, warm, and highly productive, working relationship.

You might be seeking therapy to get past long-standing anxiety, depression, trauma or other emotional hurdles. As a therapist who offers psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, I work to help you uncover the unconscious conflicts that drive these painful feelings and are the barrier to lasting progress. These unconscious patterns often can affect your relationships, cause physical pain, unwanted dependencies, loneliness, insomnia, phobia, career dissatisfaction and rage. Together, we can bravely and safely explore the different parts of who you are, bringing to light desires and fears that underly the pain you have been experiencing. Our work can help you move forward to accept all parts of yourself and find new ways of being, producing long-lasting change so you can find your own unique and fulfilling way to live your life. It is important that you find someone with whom you are comfortable to do this work. I invite you to schedule an initial consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for each other.
