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.

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.

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.

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.

An inspired collaboration that sparks curiosity, humor and a powerful creative process of healing and self discovery holds great personal meaning and purpose.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

I believe that effective treatment is accomplished as a collaboration between the client and the therapist. My focus is on helping you reach your goals as rapidly and directly as possible using a wide variety of techniques, tailored specifically for you.

I am a warm, engaging Clinical Psychologist. My orientation is cognitively-based, so therapy sessions are conversational, pragmatic, and focused primarily on the here-and-now. We work on setting therapeutic goals and collaborate on methods to attain them. In addition to my practice, I am active on the faculty at Weill-Cornell Medical College/New York Presbyterian Hospital. Anxiety is the body’s “hard-wired” false alarm. Defusing these alarms by facing dreaded fears is the central ingredient in overcoming shyness, panic attacks, or phobias. The art of treatment is knowing exactly how to fit the plan to the individual, and what procedures will best bring this about. In established relationships, people come to take each other for granted, which is the root of most other issues. The emphasis is on focusing upon what is or has been wonderful about the relationship, and acting on these strengths. How often are compliments, favors or gifts exchanged? This makes even significant conflict far easier to resolve! Activating oneself, self-care, exercise, taking pleasure and rediscovering a sense of accomplishment in the "little things" is a first and necessary step toward improvement. Surprisingly, progress becomes smoother once the inertia is overcome. Diets don't work. Individualized programs with a minimum of restriction and deprivation are motivating. Healthy foods, eaten frequently, and a positive sense of self go a long way. Moreover, bulimia is treatable, through carefully tailored food choices, mood management, and learning to tolerate a sense of being overwhelmingly full.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
