Therapists Beginning With I in New York

Growing up can be difficult. Whether your child or adolescent is demonstrating challenging behaviors at home or experiencing stress from school, I am here to help. During the day, I work with children as a school psychologist providing counseling for issues including anxiety, social conflicts, and oppositional behaviors. I also diagnose learning disabilities through assessments and provide consultation to families. In my private practice, I work outside of the confines of the school setting to help children, adolescents, and adults reach their fullest potential and learn to cope with challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life. I begin therapy by gaining a clear understanding of your strengths as well as areas for growth, and building a strong working alliance. Together we identify therapy goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.

You or a loved one may feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or needing to work through past events. As a marriage and family therapist, I offer guidance to couples, families and individuals, who are dealing with issues that affect their mental health and well-being. I believe that providing compassion, a safe space and the efficacy-based treatment for couples and individuals that will help you heal. I am Gottman method level 2 couples therapy trained and certified in trauma recovery. I use techniques such as play therapy, when working with younger children.

As another fellow human being, I too understand that life will inevitably throw difficulties and challenges in our way. Our feelings and responses towards these situations can be difficult to handle on our own, or even difficult to understand. We can often be left with hurt, confusion, and a feeling of aloneness during these times, and I seek to help remedy that for my clients. Whether it’s strife in an interpersonal relationship, substance abuse, past traumas, gender and sexuality issues, or one’s own journey of self-discovery and growth, I believe we can work together to make struggles in those areas a temporary state for you.

Therapy is a process and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek it out. I believe that all of us have in us the right tools to change our lives and achieve our goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance and support from someone who might have a different perspective. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide expert services working with adults and adolescents to strengthen their ability to overcome stress, grief and loss, anxiety and depression using specific interventions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coaching, and mindfulness training.

I believe in the potential of all human beings to grow, change, and develop in ways that enrich themselves and those around them. Unfortunately, pain is often the touchstone of growth. Explored wisely, however, such pain can lead us to deeper understandings of ourselves and the world around us. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool for turning our personal pain into personal growth. I have over 25 years of experience working with issues that have great impact on the LGBTQ community and beyond - the traumas of oppression, depression, anxiety, substance use, relational issues, career issues...the list goes on.

Acknowledging your desire to begin this process is a brave first step. Everyone has gone through periods of time where life feels overwhelming and challenging. Individual Therapy is a space for you to visit where you can feel understood, and not judged. Our time together can be short term if you are working through an acute crisis, or longer term if you need a place to work through deeply rooted feelings of low self worth, anxiety or depression. I am able to work with couples upon request.

Hello! My Name is Samantha. I have been in the field for 4 years, primarily working with the grieving community of New York. I have supported many bereaved individuals as they navigate their grief, adjust to the world without their loved one and learn about who they are now since the loss. I also have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety and adjustment issues. I truly believe grief and anxiety is a common thread among many, yet it is often overlooked and not given the attention it needs to help individuals cope. I want to be that support for you.

Hello and welcome! With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in treating anxiety/phobias, low self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, weight/body concerns, and trauma.

My style is interactive, very supportive and focused on you reaching your goals. I'll provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to express your feelings and explore issues in depth. My priority is that you feel "heard" and fully accepted.

If you're seeking therapy, chances are that you're looking for a change or to find ways to cope with your struggles. My approach in therapy is to do my best to understand you and help you toward healing and growth. I've found one of the most powerful things people gain from therapy is recognizing that you're not alone and that change is possible. I have training and experience working with individuals and couples of various identities, backgrounds, and cultures and understand the importance of not having your experiences feel dismissed. I also run a group therapy for those looking to find support through community.

I believe that everyone comes from a unique background and has diverse identities, therefore, there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. I work with clients from various backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, and ages. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to authentically be themselves and accomplish their goals. By focusing on your goals and working at your own pace, I believe I can provide the space for you to feel understood and seen.

Seeking therapy takes real courage be it your first time or fifth. Relationships change, self-esteem wavers, bodies transform, major life events occur that place us in uncharted waters, life turns inexplicably difficult. Whatever the reason, therapy is a unique opportunity to examine internal and relational conflicts, tease out unhelpful thoughts and deepen your understanding of yourself in ways that foster agency and creativity.
