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.

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 work collaboratively with my clients, from teens to adults, to bring forth their strengths, abilities, and inner resources so that they can achieve their dreams and goals. I also work with couples in stress and transition to help them respond instead of react, listen instead of argue, and create the connection they desire. Life can be very difficult at times. An experienced, caring therapist who listens and understands can be important in helping with the changes that life sometimes requires of us. I can you help you feel more grounded and empowered so that you can cope with these changes and better understand your reactions. I welcome people of all backgrounds and orientations and offer a sliding-scale fee to those who need it. 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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

“Life is an ever-flowing process and somewhere on that path, some unpleasant things will pop up.” The key to managing through those tough moments is balance, which can be effectively achieved through the practices of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Lexi helps individuals to incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation to improve their quality of life. Through the use of genuine support and sincere validation, Lexi works closely with each client to ensure their personalized goals are being met. It is the DBT belief, and Lexi’s personal style, to view the relationship between client and clinician as equal partners in your journey.

As a psychotherapist, I will help you tap into the wealth of your inner strength so that you can live life to its fullest.

When was the last time you tried something new for the first time? My name is Michael Santillan and I want to be the first to let you know, that change is a terrifying thing. However, with change come new experiences. These experiences will help bring out a side of you that you’ve never known. I’m here to help you live your best life by asking you to try something new… for the first time.

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.

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.

Her areas of expertise include working with PTSD/Trauma, Depression, LGBTQ, Anxiety, HIV/AIDS, Relationships, Poor Self Image/Insecurity, Crisis, Guilt, Stress, Anger and Bereavement.

She believes that the therapeutic process is a collaborative one in which the client and the therapist both take active roles. Jennifer provides clients with a safe, nonjudgemental and nurturing environment in which the client is able to better understand who they are, what has brought them to this point in their life and where they would like to see themselves in the future. She is a graduate of New York University school of social work. Her experience as a therapist spans more than 20 years. Over the years she has worked with individuals from many cultural backgrounds and belief systems, and have addressed a wide variety of issues with her clients.

I believe we are defined by the diversity of our experiences, relationships, and identities. My role as a therapist is to create a safe space without judgment where the diversity of your experiences can be explored with compassion. The work we do together is collaborative and centered on your personal growth, needs, and desires. The goal is to help you explore your past, thoughts, and emotions to understand yourself and live a more full and satisfying life. My approach is relational psychotherapy with training in CBT, DBT and motivational interviewing. Majority of my experience comes from working with minority communities such as LGBTQ, immigrant and migrant communities, and refugees.

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.

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.

I also work with groups, lead workshops for couples and individuals, and train therapists in the Exceptional Marriage approach to couples work. Together with Marcia we have trained over 60 therapists and are presently working with groups in Mexico and Holland.

NYC AFFIRMATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY LCSW PLLC is a community focused sliding scale mental health practice in Manhattan. 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.

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. Most importantly, we’re here to help you feel better and make change. We firmly believe that change is possible. Contact us today to get started.

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.

Perhaps you are wanting a richer life, one with less struggle, more joy and peace. Perhaps you want to feel better about yourself or your relationships with others. My intention as a therapist is to help guide you to a deeper and more powerful understanding of yourself where you can find your authentic voice and learn to trust your own guidance. In addition to understanding your past and your present, I will listen for what's missing in your life, explore what you truly yearn for, and what is keeping you apart from that. I have extensive experience working with clients who are struggling in relationships with others, struggling being alone without partnership, have anxiety, depression, or past family pain and trauma. My work is based on the individual client, but there are a few modalities that inform my work. I approach psychotherapy from a in-depth approach and HOLISTIC framework, incorporating the body, mind, and spirit - bringing moment to moment awareness into our work together. I offer a FREE consultation on the phone for us to see if I can help with what you are needing.
