Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy
Starting Individual counseling or psychotherapy is a big step and I understand that it is liberating and frightening at the same time.
The issues that typically bring people to my office are depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transitions, stress, work related or financial problems. I have over 20 years experience helping people with these and other problems.
I assess each individual situation and design an individualized treatment plan with specific goals which get evaluated from time to time. I tend to move at the pace that you wish to set, I see therapy as a collaboration which evolves out of our relationship, goals and the issues involved.
DEPRESSION.
With multiple causes, including trauma, loss, disappointment, failure, genetic/biological connections, it is not surprising that almost everyone feels depressed at some point in life, whether mild or severe. Through psychotherapy, together, we can understand the causes and overcome the symptoms, such as sadness, hopelessness, lack or energy, lack of joy and desire. If necessary, we can discuss a referral to a psycho pharmacologist who can find correct medicine to help us in this process.
ANXIETY.
Are you plagued with fear, trepidation, shakiness, racing heart beat, impending doom? Probably you are having symptoms of anxiety. We can work together to understand the causes of your symptoms. I can also teach you ways to calm yourself down and overcome the fears that are driving your anxiety.
STRESS
Stress, which is our physical and mental reaction to pressures, can take its toll on health. I understand the pressures one has living in New York. I can guide you towards ways to balance your life and decrease or manage the stress in your life, through a combination of psychological insight and spiritual techniques.
LIFE TRANSITIONS
Changes, whether good and chosen or bad and unwanted throw us off balance. They usually trigger reactions that may or may not be applicable to the situations that are going on. I can help you understand and adjust to whatever changes are going on in your life.
RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
Relationships are the most important and the most difficult stuff of our lives. They are the most rewarding and also most painful aspect of our experience. Most relationship issues are related to our family and peer experiences in childhood and youth. We all learn about relationships from those who we most interacted with as children. I can help you understand and change dysfunctional patterns of relating learned in the past that are effecting your important relationships now.
WORK RELATED PROBLEMS
Work and personal problems may occur separately, but most often they interact with damaging effects on both. I have experience working in Employee Assistance Programs in major corporations and understand interpersonal dynamics of a work place. I have lectured on various topics related to corporate culture, while I also understand and am sensitive to the issues of a small business owner.
