Therapists Beginning With S in New York

Do you ever feel like you've lost your joy or that you have no purpose? Life never stops happening and some days we manage it better than others. Sometimes it may feel like you're stuck on a hamster wheel that you can't get off. You are not alone; I've even been there myself. We all have roles that we must fulfill and responsibilities that we must manage, but sometimes that consumes us and we lose ourselves. I once read that "we sometimes put so much pressure on ourselves that life can feel like acting instead of living". When was the last time you got to take off your mask and show your true self?

My journey in mental health has been shaped by extensive training and experience, equipping me with the skills and knowledge needed to support individuals facing a variety of psychological challenges.

Nominated Top Doctor in NYC for the past five years and recognized by Continental Who's Who as a Pinnacle Professional in the field of Psychology, I dedicate myself to helping you out of feeling stuck, down and anxious. My goal is to help you find your way to feeling better. I will listen to you, understand who you are and give you lots of help and insight into your suffering. You will leave the initial consult feeling so much better! I will tailor a treatment to your needs and personality and match you with a therapist in my practice who is a great match for you. My patients love this model and I am sure that you will too!

As an art therapist, I work with children, adolescents, and young adults to better understand, express, and manage emotions. I strive to help my clients feel heard and validated. Together we work on developing a greater sense of self by working on self-esteem, confidence, and emotional intelligence. With an extensive background in Special Education, I provide specialized support- academic confidence, executive functioning development, and emotional/behavioral regulation, to students with various learning differences.

We often forget, or are unable to provide ourselves ample space to take a moment and reflect on what we are experiencing throughout our development. We live disconnected from the messages our bodies communicate: through the tightness in our chest; the manner in which we respond to our partner; the late nights spent tossing and turning in bed. Allowing oneself the space to confront those messages enables one to confidently navigating your day to day experiences.

Specializing in trauma-informed care that is person-centered and strengths-focused, I believe in taking a collaborative and compassionate approach to counseling in an effort to ensure you feel seen, heard, & most importantly, validated. As a BIPOC clinician, I specialize in helping you navigate cultural and spiritual-related internal conflicts as well as various adversities and life transitions. I also have extensive experience treating substance use disorders seen through a harm reduction-focused lens.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (NYS). I am available for individual, group, family and couples therapy.

I work collaboratively with clients to gain a full understanding of current problems, how they may have developed, and ways to make meaningful changes both internally and in one’s relationships. This might include skills based techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy, facing difficult emotions in a safe environment to gain a greater sense of control and acceptance around them, or understanding how past experiences may influence current emotional reactions.

So many of us are feeling depressed, anxious or stressed right now. I help empower men and women so they can uncover their inner gifts and strengths and navigate through life’s challenges.

If you have the courage to reach out for therapeutic help & support, you can change your life for the better. Taking action is the first step towards healing & self discovery. You can count on me to provide understanding, support, insight and practical feedback to help you address any specific issue or life challenge either you, or your family is facing. I will help you build on your strengths & find solutions in the process of personal growth, change, and attaining goals that are important to you. It is my privilege to have the opportunity to work with you on this journey.

I work with individual adults in person and virtually to meet personal goals of improved emotional health and self confidence. Are you feeling increased anxiety, panic, depression, grieving a loss or reactivated past traumatic experiences? Are you experiencing changes in sleep? Find your mind won't stop worrying? Are you more easily agitated or engaging in undesired or unhealthy coping behaviors? Do you find it difficult to get going each day? Wonder if there are better ways of managing your life and relationships?

I believe that in different stages of our lives we are presented with challenges that can be overwhelming and that can leave us feel powerless. It is also my firm belief that we all have unique strengths and resilience and that therapy can help us identify and make use of them. This then allows us to regain control of our lives and strengthen healthy relationships. Being listened to and understood by a caring professional in a confidential and safe space can bring tremendous relief from emotional conflicts and pain. Such therapeutic space can help develop a stronger self and promote constructive ways to live a more fulfilling life.

There's no shame in having a therapist. The right one will walk with you in the fullness of your experience as a person and help shape your evolving story.

Together we can figure out what your sticking points are and how you can create a more fulfilling life experience. I treat adults, teens, families and mental health colleagues for supervision purposes. From the right relationship, anything is possible. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

It’s okay to have mixed feelings about starting psychotherapy. I will do my best to create a warm, safe environment for us to explore what you would like to change in your life and to accept what is beyond your control. I believe everyone has internal and external resources that they can discover and leverage to help themselves feel better.

As a trauma-informed therapist with a multicultural background, I specialize in guiding young adults and adults through their unique journeys of self-discovery and healing. In our sessions, expect more than the classic therapist nods and the occasional "tell me more." I'm a firm believer in therapy that is not just productive, but also enjoyable. I have a more interactive approach, blending evidence-based techniques with a healthy dose of humor.

I specialize in treating relational trauma and anxiety over life transitions. I am an active, warm presence in helping clients chart their goals, their learning, living and connecting strategies. Relationships often cause hurt, but can also heal and help us grow.
