Therapists Near New York

Adrienn Miklos

I've been to therapy. Whether it’s the first time in treatment or to start a new therapeutic relationship all over again, I know that the search for a person who is a complete stranger at first, and one whom you would share your most inner thoughts and fears with can be daunting. It is difficult. But it is possible. As a therapist, I pride myself in building relationships with my clients. Real relationships that are open, engaged and unconditionally caring, but ones that seek truth. I will be there with you in that process even when it's difficult or painful, and I will help you find and make the changes you're looking for. I've always worked with clients of diverse backgrounds, treating individuals instead of their diagnoses. I work with adults, couples and families addressing loss, self concept, relationships, crisis and trauma, often underlying depression and anxiety. I also specialize in adolescents navigating the search for identity and independence in a social world I believe that each of us have a unique experience of the world stemming from early experiences and built over our lifetime; shaped by our own struggles, relationships, strengths and weaknesses. I use a variety of techniques to address and help find solutions to your own conflict, and reach what safety, happiness and fulfillment means to you individually.

Amanda Sacks

Therapy, and life, are non-linear. In our work together you are welcomed to feel - to feel deeply, express, process, and with time move through your emotions. If you are living in a state of overwhelm, are struggling through transitions, or are feeling disconnected from your body, know that you are not alone. In our work together, we can explore where you are, what is impacting your mood, and how to create meaningful and lasting change. Whether you are dealing with recent challenges or want to process and find relief from older patterns, I will hold a supportive and compassionate space for growth, understanding and self-development. I truly believe there is not one "school of thought" to follow when it comes to therapy. Each session considers the many dimensions of who you are, from a holistic, whole-person perspective. While sessions include traditional talk therapy, the integration of somatic (body) based practices is prevalent. My approach is warm, creative, encouraging & safe. I'm an advocate for mental health (brain health), self-care, and creating a life-work balance. In therapy, we celebrate small wins and big wins alike, and reaching out for support is a big win in my book... I’d love to connect with you for a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we’re a fit!

Anna Wilson, LLC

As a New York therapist, I want to empower my clients and assist them in finding some perspective. By reframing in therapy how you perceive the issues and conflicts, and by learning new behaviors and coping skills, you can really lead an enriching, happy life. My therapy style is direct (interactive) and empathetic. Having started my career as an artist and theater-maker, I have an intimate knowledge of creative development and narrative needs. Visit annawilsontherapy.com for more info. My training means I want to help problem-solve specific issues with an understanding of the bigger context. These might be conflicts with your family, work, relationships or elsewhere. Using an eclectic approach, we work towards flexible thinking and constructive consequences. I believe in self-help and assist my clients in actively questioning thinking that stands in their way. My goal is that you learn to become your own therapist.

Barbara Leeds

I am an empathic, compassionate, psychodynamically trained psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping people do the courageous work necessary to make meaningful, transformative changes in their lives. Therapy, as I practice it, involves a collaborative process, requiring the active engagement of both myself and my client. I have particular success with people who already have some degree of intellectual insight about themselves but who have difficulty translating that knowledge into making emotional and practical changes in their lives -- building bridges from mind to heart and spirit. While one area of my specialized training and expertise is in the field of eating disorders, I work with many people who are preoccupied with body image and related issues that diminish the quality of their lives and interfere with their emotional and practical aspirations. Developing tools to become more proactive in relationships can lead to a less stressful and more satisfying connection with oneself and with others. Each person takes a unique journey that requires a treatment designed to address their specific needs and goals. I thoroughly enjoy the time and effort necessary in taking this journey with the people I treat. Take the first step to help. Call or email Barbara Leeds now - (646) 351-1

Candice Aloisi

I believe in the capacity of us all to define our life's path by taking risks and stretching in new directions. This can be one of the hardest parts of OCD and anxiety: feeling like your choices are dictated by the lump in your throat, the pit in your stomach or obsessive thoughts. Before I became a therapist, I was a lawyer for almost 20 years. That experience informs my work with clients as we strengthen their inner advocate and, often, develop a truer understanding of who they are and want to be when they are actively choosing how to live. YOU are not that critical, anxious voice in your head; let's clarify and pursue YOUR path. My style is engaged, gentle, and directive. I listen closely and value a dynamic exchange of ideas in sessions. Our brains are both fantastic and oddly glitchy; it is important to understand how yours works in order to manage anxiety and OCD, so that is a key part of my approach. I primarily integrate CBT, ERP, and ACT (see details below), in a tailored mix. Whether you are looking for a new track or to get back on an already valued road, we will explore what you want out of life and take back the wheel. I have specialized training in treating OCD and anxiety at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy in NYC.

Carol Mavronicolas

After a post-graduate fellowship at McLean Hospital, overseen by faculty of the Harvard Medical School, an Externship in family and couples therapy at the Ackerman Institute, I worked in inpatient and outpatient settings at hospitals, where I both treated patients and supervised clinical practice students from the Columbia and Fordham Schools of Social Work. I opened my clinical practice treating individuals and couples in 1997. The areas I have worked on with my patients have included anxiety, depression, poor self esteem among many other issues and my treatment modalities are varied depending on the needs of my patient. My areas of concentration have revolved around anxiety and depression, frequently focusing on fear of failure, low self esteem, difficulty in decision making, inability to concentrate, problems with communication and poor interpersonal relationship skills.

Working on important relationships— whether together or apart— can be an incredibly rewarding journey. We’ll start where you are and what brought you to this point, including what you’ve tried so far.

And when you feel empowered and free to create the life you want for yourself, what else can stop you from growing? Here's what I bring to the table: mental health expertise, relationship expertise, an open mind, a curious attitude, and respect for your autonomy.
