Therapists Beginning With F in New York

UPDATE 7/2024: I am currently accepting new clients! Welcome and thank you for your interest in working together. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children, teens, and adults across a variety of settings. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in establishing trust, openness, and understanding. I aim to create a safe space where you can feel heard while supporting you in making meaningful changes in your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience treating adults, college students, adolescents, and children. I received my doctoral degree from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and a masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. I completed my clinical training at the New York Center for Children, Columbia University Medical Center, and the Jewish Child Care Center.

With 30 years of experience, I provide an interactive approach to Individual Psychotherapy and Couples Counseling in a supportive and accepting environment. I help people explore and understand the underlying issues and obstacles to desired goals, toward increased happiness, empowerment/self-esteem, and healthier relationships. In Couples Counseling I help married and unmarried, gay and straight couples integrate greater communication, respect, and intimacy toward enriching lives together. Historical/familial relationships, as well as present day interactions, are understood in relation to the effect they have on life choices.

In my opinion every client is ideal because they all come with different personalities as well as their issues/interest. That old saying “Never judge a book by its cover” Is my belief system. My ideal client would be all clients that have chosen to work with me and I with them. My ideal client could be you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I use various styles of therapy to instill the most effective outcome for my patients. I have experience with children, families, and adults. My experience entails working with patients with anxiety, family issues, trauma, social issues, depression and life changing events. Oftentimes, it can be challenging to identify ways to overcome life's obstacles when you are currently experiencing them. With the help of an experienced Social Worker, you can begin to process these obstacles from a holistic approach and create realistic and attainable goals that would help you enhance your life.

At every stage, life has its challenges. Allowing the voice of worry to be in the driver’s seat is not working for you. There is a way to navigate life better, and feel empowered no matter what is on your plate. I know, easier said than done. It’s just a matter of creating a new path. I can help you find it!

Are you feeling stressed, alone, or not like yourself? Is it difficulty to connect with your loved ones or enjoy your everyday life? Do you need help finding your authentic self? Having a space for exploration without judgement might be what you need. Achieving your goal is possible, you might just need a little bit of help!

When things feel out of control, I provide you with a sense of stability and hope. Don't let the brokenness of the world discourage you from seeking a curiosity to become the most authentic version of yourself. I am here to support you in your journey to unpack and discover the ways in which you can thrive and come home to yourself. Let's take this breath-by-breath, step-by-step, you are already here, you are already on your way.

Perhaps you're at a crossroads, struggling through a transitional life stage, battling to overachieve & succeed, while also beating yourself up about every thing. My clients often look like young adult professionals, new mothers, and women struggling in their romantic relationships. Some may be dealing with current or past traumas, general anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress management, or low self esteem. From the outside everything may "look fine" while inside they are battling to keep their heads above water. If you see yourself in any of these scenarios please reach out and let's talk!

I have over 20 years experience in private practice working with adults and late adolescents in individual, family and couples therapy. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, creative art therapy and Health psychology techniques to provide support, improve coping skills and make behavior changes that last. I also my interest in mindfulness, energy medicine and Eastern philosophies to enhance my clinical skills. My approach is down to Earth, practical and empathetic.

Are you seeking to regain peace in the aftermath of stressful life events? Are you noticing self-defeating behaviors that are impacting your relationships or ability to enjoy your life? My name is Donna Ray, LCSW, and I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way. With over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with clients aged 18 years and older. I offer fully remote sessions for your convenience and comfort. My goal is to empower you to be your best self in all aspects of life — with family, friends, significant others, and in your work and educational endeavors.

Psychotherapy is a gift you can give yourself. If you're feeling down or you can never fully relax; it might be hard to imagine you could feel better. Maybe you keep repeating unsatisfying relationship patterns even though you want something else. These challenges, as well as many others, can interfere with the joyful, satisfying life you want. Psychotherapy can help you understand parts of yourself you don't fully know. Ultimately, this enables you to experience greater freedom and to explore new possibilities. Psychotherapy involves emotional, intellectual, and bodily experience and can therefore be deeply transformational.

We all face challenges throughout life. How we react and grow from these challenges is what is important. Family and friends are great supports but can't always help us find resolution. I will help you to solve problems, explore real life solutions, and identify strategies that fit the way you think and feel.

I believe in the ability of people to heal from difficult events and to make positive changes in their lives. Therapy (individual, group, couples) needs to be a safe place where a client can feel supported in addressing their issues. I have seen how a psychotherapeutic relationship, in combination with other relationships in the client's life, can aid in those processes of healing and self-change. As a therapist I offer insight and other assistance where helpful but the focus remains on the client, the client's experience and the meanings that she/he/they draw from that experience.

As a clinical and sport psychologist working with athletes in the MLB and NFL, I help people overcome barriers in their life and reach their full potential. I think warmth, humor and creativity are essential ingredients to our work. Together we will examine your thoughts and behaviors and how to change them to improve your mood and life satisfaction. I incorporate sport psychology into my work with my clients. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other science-based techniques, I help coach people using the strategies I've used with professional athletes over the past 14 years.

Take a moment and imagine what your life might look like if you accomplished the goals you set for yourself. If you feel stuck, immobilized with your career, relationships, or bad habits, you awaken feeling exhausted, depressed and unmotivated, suffer from debilitating anxiety or panic attacks that leave you feeling drained or if you've experienced past traumas that plague today's quality of life, please call me. I am a results-oriented psychotherapist and therapy can alleviate distress and begin a journey of self growth to feel better and create a more fulfilling life. Your first step begins the process.

The focus of treatment is to develop a relationship where you feel safe and valued. I work from the lens of curiosity about behaviors and thoughts rather than judgment. I work with my clients to engage in compassion for themselves rather than punishment as we examine their lives. I believe that a healthy sense of humor is a helpful tool in dealing with difficult issues and I very much use my authentic self within the treatment framework.

It is my passion to help my clients create the life they desire. My clients are often highly sensitive people, perfectionists, creatives or empaths. Life is hard and my goal is to help you feel a little more comfortable in your own skin.
