Therapists Beginning With P in New York

Do you often feel torn between multiple worlds? Are you constantly trying to balance societal expectations and your inner instincts, or navigate cultural and generational gaps that feel worlds apart? Maybe you crave connection but struggle to set boundaries in your relationships and end up living more for others than yourself. Have you ever felt the overwhelming intensity of grief, whether it is over a loved one or a place that used to be home? You might feel alone and struggle to find hope and comfort within yourself.

Are you and your partner caught in a web of conflicting dynamics? Do you struggle to balance external expectations with your own desires? Are cultural differences adding complexity to your relationship? As you aim for deeper connection, maybe you’re struggling to establish healthy boundaries and effective communication while honouring your individual needs within the relationship. If these challenges resonate with you as a couple, rest assured, you're not alone.

Making contact with our more authentic emotions and needs can be frightening, leading us to avoid them through behaviors such as numbing out, shutting down, addiction, dissociation, and many forms of self-injury. Navigating these stormy seas within ourselves can feel impossible to do on ones own. We're not meant to do it alone. Your hopes and fears, and unique experiences deserve to fall upon the ears of an empathetic and attuned listener who can help you find your bearings and begin the work of transcending impasses and breaking painful patterns in order to move towards the experience of greater transformation and aliveness.

My primary goal as a clinical psychologist is to help patients develop more fulfilling, meaningful and rewarding relationships through evidence-based treatment. My approach to healing integrates principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). I work collaboratively with individuals to create a safe space and a therapeutic alliance where clients identify aspects of life that are causing difficulties and symptoms. CBT and IPT enable clients to uncover and to change unhelpful patterns of social behavior, distortions of thought, and to improve present day coping skills and management of emotions.

I am a generalist in that I will work with most problems. My approach is Cognitive-Behavioral. I work to help individuals, families, and children to adjust their lives so they are more comfortable and in control of behaviors and emotions. I have found that active participation in setting goals and in tracking progress is important and part of the best way to change. Areas of interest include: depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, relationship problems, and parenting difficulties.

I believe everyone needs individualized treatment. This includes taking in to account your personal history and development, as well as your current environment and social situation. It's also important for me to help you understand why you are feeling the way you do. People often have trouble in their thinking, relationships, work, or home life, and need help to sort these things out. Once we understand the difficulties you're having, then we can begin to make the changes that will make you feel better.

Natural reactions, such as sadness, anxiety, or anger, shaped by our present and past experiences, can become overwhelming and lead to feeling stuck in a struggle or an unintentional, unhelpful pattern. With respect for the unique experiences that have led to your decision to enter psychotherapy, we will address the issues most important to you, while helping you move toward the aspects of life and relationships you find most meaningful.

Is it just me or has the world felt extremely overwhelming in recent years? It can be hard to just feel stable, let alone attempt to feel happy. There can be so much pressure, both from the world and from ourselves. You need a sense of grounding; an internal anchor that holds you strong while the waves of life thrash. You need to understand yourself, why you make the choices you do, why negative thoughts and default patterns hold you back from the life you want, and how to control the emotions and fears that overwhelm you. Mostly, you deserve to love, respect and accept yourself, just as you are.
