Therapists Providing Trauma-Focused CBT in New York

I will work with you to provide a warm, welcoming, and affirming space to safely speak about anything that is keeping you from living fully and richly or from progressing towards your goals.

As we develop our relationship, I will also respectfully challenge you in the service of expanding your sense of what is possible. I believe that once established, a trusting and generative therapeutic relationship is a place to laugh, cry, dream, vent, reflect, and expand. It can allow you to feel seen and heard in new ways, and through that experience, to develop new ways of feeling, acting, and thinking in your work and relationships.

Together we will work to deepen your knowledge of yourself, both in the present moment and in the context of your life history. We will identify and utilize your existing strengths and resilience to help address life concerns, provide clarity about parts of yourself that could benefit from greater attention and development, and improve your ability to feel comfortable identifying and coping with challenging emotional situations.

Life is sometimes not as kind to us as we would like it to be. Whether it be past traumas, relationship issues, depression, or anxiety, you are taking the first step in choosing wellness by seeking therapy. As a therapist, I am here to create a supportive and safe environment for you to share your story and become the best version of yourself. Together we will utilize this space to identify areas in your life that you want to improve, as well as build upon the skills that you already have in your toolbox. My goal as a therapist is to help you discover and build upon your strengths, while helping meet your goals and work through any tough situations that you may be experiencing.

I have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, familial stress, and work or school stress. With all clients, I am here to meet you where you are. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Using a strengths-based approach with an emphasis on empowerment, I am here to support you during your self-discovery journey.

Please know I offer a secure environment in which to work on your particular obstacles, both practical and psychological. I've found weekly, 45 minute sessions to be most efficient, but we can discuss alternatives based on your schedule and resources.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting, so I can help you decide if we are a good therapeutic match. Please email me with questions you may have. I also offer a free phone consultation for any prospective client who is interested in working with me.

If you struggle with depression or anxiety, boundaries in relationships, or you've survived a traumatic childhood or young adulthood, please reach out as I could be a good fit. Our past experiences can have a huge impact on our capacity to cope with stress, as well as our self-worth and our ability to feel safe connecting with others. You deserve to live your best authentic life, and therapy can be a resource for you. It's a place to learn to really know and value yourself, and find coping skills that actually work for you. I can help you shift the way you respond to stress, find compassion for yourself, and let go of unhelpful patterns.

I specialize in working with people who have had trauma in their lives, whether in childhood, within a relationship, or due to COVID-related stress or another recent experience. My style is encouraging, direct, and compassion-focused. In addition, I love working with young adults, difficult life transitions, and people facing the challenges of new parenthood.

I can confidently say I've seen this process work for a lot of people! By building a safe and supportive relationship in therapy, you can become grounded, assured, and able to feel more connected to others. I'm committed to helping you heal and start being present in your life. Please feel free to reach out to discuss options. You are worth it.

Therapy is a space unlike any other. It is so helpful to have a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and have an opportunity to discuss what is going on with someone unbiased and nonjudgmental. My approach is welcoming, warm, and real. I value the feedback of my clients and my approach is deeply rooted in consent and empowerment.

Now, more than ever, it is important to prioritize your mental health. The worldwide pandemic has isolated people, and therapy is one way to feel more connected and supported. I wish you the best as you continue to find the best therapist for you. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out.

My goal as your therapist is to support and empower you to focus on your strengths in order to become the best version of yourself possible. I help my clients cope with the psychological and emotional difficulties that underlie our unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I am multi-culturally trained to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I ensure that regardless of sex, race, orientation, each client is treated equally and with respect in a safe, welcoming environment.

My work is empowering clients by helping you learn about yourself, witnessing your progress and guiding you to navigate life challenges. My approach is to create a customized treatment plan for each client as I believe not all clients will benefit from the same approach. Together we will establish goals at the start of our initial interaction to identify the progression throughout each session.

Having worked in Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and traditional addiction treatment, our Founder and Director, Katherine Casey, saw firsthand the benefits of holistic care beyond traditional talk therapy including somatic and arts therapies, providing family support, collaborating with medical providers, and referrals to community resources. Perhaps most importantly, she recognized the value of using personal insight and experiences to help guide clients on their paths to wellness and self-discovery. Today, these lessons are the principles that guide our practice.
