Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker. It would be my privilege to be able to work with you to help to guide you on your journey toward discovery and self acceptance. I have been a practicing Psychotherapist for over 30 years. I possess great empathy, keen insight and am honest and direct with my feedback.

I focus on creating a comfortable and safe environment to help you reach your goals. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, relationship issues, life trasnsitions and adjustment disorders.

I have been a psychotherapist over 34 years to individuals & couples. I address hurt, sadness, anger, anxiety & depression & the loss of emotional contact in your vital relationships. Painful loss can arise from traumatic shock, & from the non-traumatic experiences of growing up. I can help you identify your true needs, so that you can repair your connection with those you love. Healing is in the therapeutic relationship & the skills I can teach you that can enable you to live a freer life.

I like to utilize different therapies such as psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, person centered, and mindfulness to help clients achieve their goals. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety and OCD, adjustment disorders, sexual and domestic abuse, anger management and mood disorders, personality disorders, and family/relationship issues. I also consider myself to be a culturally competent therapist, and have experience working with the Hispanic/Latino Community.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in integrated health. I have over 7 years of experience working within the mental health field. In our sessions you can expect to find a warm, non-judgmental, and welcoming approach.

I’ve been a psychologist for more than 15 years and have worked in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, residential programs, outpatient clinics, and schools. I work with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with entrepreneurs and professionals in technology and finance who may look highly successful on the outside but are dealing with stress, burnout, or feeling stuck underneath it.

I tend to be warm and thoughtful, but I’m also pretty direct. I don’t think therapy should feel like you’re talking while someone just nods at you. I want to understand how you got where you are, what keeps repeating, and what may need to change. I also bring some humor into the room when it feels right. Therapy can deal with serious things without every minute of it having to feel heavy.

As an African American Psychologist, I work with people of all faiths, races and walks of life. As a Believer, I believe in the power of faith and therapy to help towards healing. It will be a blessing for me to help you on your journey.
