Top New York adults therapists who accept cash payments

I am dedicated to helping people improve their lives, achieve a more meaningful life, and realize their inherent potential and highest goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Utah, Missouri, and West Virginia. I primarily work with adults and teens who are struggling with depression, anxiety, career issues, relationship and marriage problems, and other life challenges. I also work with a lot of business professionals working with work/life anxiety and balance. I am an empathetic and compassionate counselor that motivates clients to work on their improvement. My general approach is to develop a relaxed, non-threatening, and non-clinical professional relationship with my clients. I believe that the first step to a better life is often the most difficult. I enjoy helping my clients with that first step and the path that follows. Together, my clients and I develop individualized strategies that produce results and lead to a more fulfilling life. Open to working with adolescents ages 13 and older.

I seek to create a trusted space where individuals can be themselves, speak their minds, and explore aspects of their past or present that they find difficult. I support children, adolescents, and young adults, along with their family members, to address a variety of challenges. My therapeutic philosophy is relationally driven, trauma-informed, and flexible; we will collaboratively work to develop support that is right for you or your child. I have extensive experience with youth who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and general behavioral problems. With children, I utilize play therapy techniques, while integrating components of art and talk therapy. For adolescents, I use techniques from various approaches including Cognitive Behavioral, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapies. Are you or your child looking for support in understanding and navigating life’s challenges? Welcome! I would be honored to support you and your family

I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York for over 20 years. I’ve worked with a broad range of individuals in both community and clinical settings. You will find that I am compassionate, authentic, and easy to talk to. What I love about what I do is the difference I get to make with people. Over the years I’ve developed my style of practice to be transformative for my clients. I’m proud to say that my clients don’t usually see me for very long. That’s because I am masterful at getting quickly to what is stopping them in life and having them transform that area of life for themselves in a short amount of time. I provide dynamic, solution-focused counseling through guided conversations. This is coaching vs. traditional therapy. The structure of each session is tailored to my client’s individual needs and areas of focus but generally follows a basic structure to cover key points. These include identifying your primary concern(s), generating a clear picture of what you want to accomplish, and teaching you practical tools for accessing your power in areas where you’ve experienced a loss of power. My job as your coach is to have you win. I look forward to hearing from you!

The foundation of my practice is based on the respect I have for my clients, and my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. As a trained and experienced therapist, I am not only technically objective, but also provide you with emotional nourishment and assistance as you work through problem areas in your life. Psychotherapy is about growth and transformation and equips you to overcome challenges impacting your family, job or relationships. My areas of expertise include addiction, relationship or job-related issues, depression, anxiety and stress. I employ solution focused therapy based on psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I am also a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to evaluate employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up, testing, and aftercare.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Columbia University and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for over six years. I believe everyone deserves to feel their best, and I am here to help identify and overcome the obstacles that may be holding you back. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to achieve your therapeutic goals. While I have experience with a variety of therapeutic approaches, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and obsessive thoughts. I also focus on guiding clients toward self-actualization by unpacking thought patterns, behaviors, and childhood-rooted trauma. I work best with individuals who are committed to deep self-exploration and understand that therapy is a gradual, transformative process rather than a quick fix. Additionally, I can support you in improving self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries, enhancing communication skills, and developing acceptance around things beyond your control. Outside of therapy, I enjoy running, practicing Reiki, and spending time with my cat. I look forward to working together!

Did you wake up this morning and wish you weren’t alive? Did you look in the mirror and was disappointed at what you saw? Do you find your days interrupted with extreme sadness, or crying? How about getting angry about events and incidents that you would usually let go? Did you get fired or demoted? Is your co-workers giving you a hard time at your place of employment? Is there an individual you love not paying attention to you? Tired of being under the influence? Does your circle make you feel ugly and unwanted? How about your anxiety around family and friends at events and gatherings? I bet you are tired of being passed over and put down. Something tells me you are tired of being used for your money, or giving room and board to family & friend that is taking advantage of you – and you don’t know what to do? Bad break up? In love? Interested in someone? My specialty is flexibility and availability Oh yes I'm also an exceptional listener.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that we may not really be comfortable sharing with close friends and family, and just lay it all out, however messy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating—you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I am LGBT-affirming and have years of experience working with creative people in various fields. I build resilience in clients by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, and life's ups and downs, whether that’s learning to be kinder to yourself, getting more comfortable with vulnerability, or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess; we can look through the piles together and see if we can come out with some gold.
