It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside my clients as they grow, change, and achieve both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen This has been my professional email signature for seven, approaching eight, years as a Mental Health Counselor. Over these years, I have lobbied in Albany with the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS), worked with Westchester and Putnam MHA’s. While the statement above may seem simple and obvious, it is a daunting task to truly give one’s complete attention. Counseling skills involve ways of listening and speaking that help a person feel supported, understood, validated, and hopeful. This is a remarkable mission and why I feel that counseling these past years has not only been a job but also a commitment. To me, listening is a science and a core of Mental Health Counseling. Columbia’s Center for Practice Innovations, where I have done training, supports, as do I, the approach of Motivational Interviewing and the science and art of listening that makes up strengths-based, person-centered approaches. In applying these skills through counseling, and facilitating groups and training, I have seen countless individuals benefit. I have worked in multiple settings: In-patient adolescent, substance abuse and 12-step groups, PROS Day programs, individual counseling, care coordination, social skills after school programs, senior living, domestic violence crisis, clinics and more. I have seen dignity return as individuals experience defining themselves from a strengths-based perspective that does not focus on prescribing interventions to prevent “maladaptive behaviors”. I have utilized the Stages of Change model and been trained in DBT, EFT, IFS, Somatic Experiencing and received certificates in suicide prevention, CBT, wellness, and Play Therapy techniques. My resume will show, I also have been recognized with several professional awards. Needless to say, my professional experience is extensive.

Everyday problems-as well as family or personal crises-can lead to intense negative emotions. They test your ability to take care of family, relationships, work, and even your own health. But sleepless nights, constant anxiety, despair and angry outbursts aren't permanent. Change is within reach, and you are not alone. I help people suffering from anxiety, depression, anger issues, panic attacks, and in difficult relationships. In our work together I will help you 1) envision what your life will look like when anxiety, anger and depression are no longer in your way; 2) discover the patterns that have kept you stuck; and 3) how to change these so you feel and live better. We focus therapy on getting "unstuck." I help you challenge old, harmful beliefs about yourself and the world. And our work together is active; we don't just talk, but also try new ideas that can help heal. Your success will bring feelings of confidence, peace, and a better life.

Professional counseling for all ages Individual, couple, and family sessions People everywhere want happy satisfying lives and relationships. But, sometimes we find ourselves unsure and in distress.

A family systems therapist, like Tamera, is uniquely poised to help get things unstuck. Tamera treats a wide range of problems and works with individuals, couples, and families together, including small children. Tamera's therapy is focused on solutions, specific to the goals desired by the client, and designed to have life get better, as soon as possible! Complimentary phone consultations are available.

The saying "An examined life is not worth living" always comes to mind when I encounter an individual who is mired down in problems and unable to find happiness. That you are visiting this page tells me you have already embarked on a path to address the issues that are stopping you from moving forward. In a warm and safe environment I can provide you with the tools you need to indeed live the life you wish to live. Together we can explore and uncover the obstacles that prevent you from enjoying the relationships you deserve along with the dreams and goals you want to pursue. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY While I use many different approaches in therapy, including talk therapy, I work through an attachment lens which means that sometimes it is important to explore one's past to see how it affects you in the present. I believe everyone benefits from finding new options to address previously self-defeating patterns. I also like to incorporate mindfulness practices into my therapeutic work. My clients have observed that their overall functioning has dramatically improved by practicing mindfulness in their daily lives. COUPLES When two individuals come together I am often reminded of the expression, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Relationships require nurturing and attention and sometimes with the best of intentions, couples drift apart or arrive at an impasse. I am marriage friendly, LGBTQ friendly, and believe that most couples have the ability to work out their dissatisfaction with one another. Much of the time, with commitment and a desire to rekindle long-lost feelings, couples, with the help of therapy, can master the communications skills they need to find emotional safety and connection in their relationship.

Healthy Behaviors of Westchester is a private psychological practice for children and adults looking to reduce unhealthy behaviors through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Via CBT individuals are taught how to identify their unhealthy actions and thinking patterns and are instructed in how to replace these with healthier behaviors and thoughts.

Individuals learn how to cope in healthy, helpful ways to reach specific short-term and long-term goals.

A total approach through clarifying your needs, identifying your goals, managing stress, increasing coping skills, and improving relationships, comprehensively we will make strides towards greater overall life satisfaction. Collaboratively we will create functional habits and make positive changes, by overcoming mental/emotional obstacles which prevent you from living your best life.

In my personal and professional experience we seek therapy when we realize that the coping mechanisms that we have employed for most of our lives are not only not working anymore, but that they are preventing us from experiencing the lives that we would like to be living. When this happens we experience anxiety, depression and a general feeling of dissatisfaction with life. Entering therapy is a courageous step prompted by our inner warrior. It requires energy and commitment so that we can continue when the process becomes challenging. Therapy is a process that can be both exciting and painful. Should you feel ready to explore this path give me a call so that we can determine whether or not we are a good fit. I think that you will find me to be a relational, capable, honest, human and committed partner in your quest to understand and to pursue the life that you, in your heart, would like to be living. Ultimately the source of our pain and suffering is in equal measure to our feeling of disconnection from ourselves, from others and from God.

If you are experiencing barriers that are keeping you from having a fulfilling, productive and joyful life, I urge you to seek psychotherapy.

It is most rewarding to be able to guide people to a more satisfying life experience. I am experienced in crisis counseling, individual therapy, substance abuse and group work. I have special training in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Strength Based Positive Psychology. I frequently utilize a variety of techniques. Often I explore and deepen an individual's understanding of their character strengths. I also explore with my clients how to change ways of thinking, that may be holding them back from experiencing the inner life and relationships they desire. In addition, I have utilized art and mindfulness techniques. I have worked with adolescents and women and men of all ages, exploring a variety of issues in individual and group settings. If you feel stuck and feel you are ready to explore issues in a safe environment, please give me a call. Life can be better.

A relationship may become more complicated when one or both individuals have unresolved personal issues. Relationship Enrichment Relationship Enrichment designed to help couples and families, develop the skills needed to communicate more openly, resolve differences more quickly, and to create joy and playfulness in their interactions.

If you are experiencing any form of anxiety, know that there is help out there. You may be suffering with panic attacks which leave you feeling scared and defeated and not wanting to engage in certain situations, because you are fearful of having another one. You may find that you are isolating yourself because your social anxiety is controlling you, instead of you controlling it. You may have anxiety from some horrific past experience and it continues to plague you. Whatever your issue, you don't need to suffer or miss out on the things in life that you want to partake in. There is scientific evidence that therapy can help reduce these feelings and free you to live the life you want to live. Take the first step to help yourself and call or email me.

JOHN D. RIVERA, LCSW As a therapist and person of diversity I cannot claim to share everyones unique experiences. What I offer is a therapist who can apply the years of education, skills, and clinical experience with openness, compassion and respect for your uniqueness. Our therapy together holds an opportunity to connect through our shared experience of diversity now matter how different. Often my patients share accounts of finding and working with therapist who truly understand them. In their stories I hear the frustration and disappointment around stereotyping, misgendering, and blindness to the individuals cultural identity. Much of my work has focused on the experiences of first or second generation immigrants in the United States. On the positive side my work with these patients has provided an opportunity for the patient and myself to look at the components of their unique identities, thought patterns, influences, and diversity to explore how these factors impact their experience of the here and now.

As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address both broad and specific problems and help people find solutions to life's conflicts and stressors. Chronic stress and chronic relational conflicts often become obstacles to leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding existence. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable people to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors, as well as crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to individual needs and focuses on building a collaborative dialogue in which to work towards identified therapeutic goals. This includes symptom reduction (anxiety, depression, self-harm), as well asworking with issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, creative blocks, performance anxiety, infertility and parenting issues, among others. Consulting with a psychologist and taking the step forward to begin psychotherapy can be one of the best investments you make in yourself. Therapy is an effective tool to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and foster personal growth. Research has shown that psychotherapy enhances overall mental health, and self-esteem. Psychotherapy can also be helpful in making informed decisions regarding real life dilemmas. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which to explore the subtle and not-so-subtle psychological and emotional factors that influence all aspects of one's life.

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.

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 a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in New York City. My office is located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, near Columbia University.

I believe psychotherapy should provide a sense of comfort and support as the starting point for addressing emotional problems. I have more than 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist, and have been affiliated with The Hazelden Foundation since 1997.

Practicing individual, marital and family therapy for almost 20 years. Educated and trained in California, interned, licensed, and practiced in Boston, Massachusetts.

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 on the upper east side of Manhattan.

I took a non-traditional path to become a psychotherapist. I've worked in the arts, retail, non-profits, publishing, investment banks, as well as other industries. Because of my varied past, I bring insight and perspective to the treatment room. We work from your needs as the client. Though I listen bringing my training to the work, each client is unique and finds her or his own path to working through the challenges she or he faces. I work with clients to create more choices, to feel less trapped by the circumstances that may block her or him from achieving the life he or she would like to live.

If you are going through some hard times, whether it is related to problems at work or in your relationships, or just some ongoing crisis, you might feel as if there is no way out and nothing will ever change for the better. In my work with clients I help them to find hope and new ways how to cope with their problems. I use insight-oriented treatment to help my clients get a better understanding of their difficulties and find solutions that work in the long run.

What is your soul trying to tell you? The person you were a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago, is still inside of you. Each of these selves has a voice, an opinion, and as a result there is a lot of inner noise, which can drown out the voice of your soul, the divine spark within. Subscribing to the spiritual model, I view psychotherapy as a spiritual process. My role is to help you hear the voice of your soul so you can move from where you are to where you want to go. I incorporate insights and techniques from various spiritual traditions as well as from Transpersonal Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Twelve-Step Recovery, and Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy (SSST), in particular. The primary goal of SSST is to strengthen your spiritual self so healthier scripts (behaviors) can emerge in your life. As a psychotherapist, who is also an intuitive and a rabbi, I am fluent in spirituality, and can help you to create a spiritual practice to enhance your psychotherapy.

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself.

What is Holistic Psychotherapy? Holistic psychotherapy in my practice: * is a guided process of inner exploration, that helps strengthen emotional health, enhances healing and personal transformation. * provides a context for one's personal journey, cultivating deep listening and tapping into ones own inner wisdom abundance and peace * is a practical way to live in the present and understand the impact of the past while still feeling fully alive today * teaches patients valuable, practical strategies and life-enhancing techniques for managing stress anxiety and frustration in the real world * session structure can vary and consist of open-ended discussions, guided talks, or focused conversations on a specific problem * includes discussions on family dynamics, relationships issues, recovery from trauma & abuse, conscious communication, assertive behaviors, challenges in the workplace and finding inner balance and peace

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.

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.

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.

“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!”

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

I am the Director of the Hudson Valley Center for Cognitive Therapy (HVCCT). Our therapists are warm, dedicated, and highly trained professionals who have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

We also have significant experience treating ADHD, Aspergers, marital/relationship issues, and grief and provide academic and psychological testing.
