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.

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. Our professional, compassionate and expertly trained therapists are here to partner with you to achieve your psychotherapeutic, wellness goals along the path towards individuation. We help professionals, couples, artists and graduate students to reach their potential and create a life filled with self-acceptance, self-worth and happiness. Depending on your individual needs, learning style and goals, we may use culturally appropriate, evidence-based modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, LGBTQI affirmative therapy and depth psychology.

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.

Maybe the same feelings of hurt and sadness keep surfacing, arguments are repetitive or you look across the table and wonder why you are together at all. Or, you are out there looking for the right person to share your life with, yet find yourself attracting the wrong people again and again. Worse, you avoid the dating scene altogether, giving up.

Psychotherapist, Spiritual Counselor, Associate Director One Spirit Learning Alliance, One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in NYC, and recipient of the Huston Smith Lifetime Achievement Award for Interfaith Educator, 2013, have many years experience dealing with the challenges that come to all of us: depression, anxiety, identity concerns, with successful outcomes. All orientations, religions, cultures.

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.

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.

Irina Firstein, LCSW has been in private practice in New York City (NYC) for over 20 years. Having lived most of her personal and professional life in Manhattan, she has a keen understanding of the professional, financial and social challenges of living there. She believes that effective therapy brings about growth and change and it occurs in the atmosphere of safety, trust, connection and collaboration. Client's safety is her first priority, sessions are completely confidential and you will be able to really trust her with your deepest self. Services Include: Marriage Counseling, Couples Counseling, Couples Therapy, Individual Therapy, & Individual Counseling.

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. In treatment you will learn specific tools and skills that will help you to feel better and overcome your difficulties. Therapy sessions are active and focused primarily on the here-and-now. I use scientifically supported interventions while maintaining a pragmatic and flexible approach focused on your particular problems.

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 am a practitioner and teacher of Integrative Psychotherapy for over thirty years. My approach to wellness recognizes the interconnection between mind, body and spirit and offers a natural way of attaining inner clarity, personal fulfillment, and physical and emotional health. Our work together is NOT a prolonged process but rather an intense learning experience. I teach you specific tools for becoming your own authority in your pursuit towards a happier and more balanced way of life. During our work together, I will offer guidance in helping you to:gain a holistic understanding of your life challenge, problem and/or illness; discover and release emotional toxins;use powerful mental techniques for symptom relief and problem resolution;implement life changes needed to achieve and maintain optimal health. To achieve these goals I utilize: mental imagery, voluntary will training, dreamwork, cognitive-behavioral approach, clinical hypnosis, psycho-physiognomy, EFT, and spiritual counseling. I have helped thousands of clients to achieve their goals, ranging from overcoming panic attacks and depression, to saving marriages and healing from serious physical illnesses.”

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.

Going throug a transition or experiencing a loss? Struggling with a relationship or an important decision? Lonely or stressed out? Family and friends can be helpful, but sometimes the help of a skilled, supportive listener in a tranquil setting where the focus is your well-being is the best place sort things out and move forward. For twenty years I have had the privilege of helping people here in the New York area heal from pain, enrich their relationships and rediscover their natural energy, gifts, and joy. Here in New York it is a joy and a privilege to serve people from across the country and around the world. I work with many people who seek to be as successful in their personal lives as they are in their careers. People tell me that in the midst of the busy week our sessions offer a peaceful, nurturing place to get in touch with their best self and discover a new balance in life. Each person or couple seeking therapy is unique. That's why I don't offer cookie-cutter solutions. Our work together is respectful and collaborative. Listening carefully, I draw on the most effective resources and research, using my experience and creativity to help you build the life you seek. In these challenging times you need experienced, caring help for yourself or your relationship.
