Top in-person New York therapists who accept cash payments

My name is Alex Queralt. I’m a bi-lingual licensed therapist in the states of Connecticut and in New York. I’ve been in practice for 20-plus years, dealing with adolescents and families from multiple different cultures. I also have dealt with multiple types of cases with families and individuals who have been dealing with PTSD, trauma, child abuse, and sexual abuse. I am trained in CBT, DBT, and RET. My main focus is to work with many families and couples who need to seek help and find solutions or tools how to cope with their traumas and issues. I believe that as a therapist, I should be able to gain their trust, confidence, and support while giving them the proper support.

I enjoy helping people find ways to make positive changes. My clients initially come to their first session with depression, anxiety, and frustration. They are trying to juggle life issues, along with financial and personal issues. Most people need effective skills to help them manage life with less frustration and stress, along with methods to improve their decision-making, thus improving the quality of their life. The best question to ask anyone is, "how can I help you?" My lifetime's experience, along with my education, has built a foundation that helps me understand the pain and trauma we endure. I believe strengthening a persons self-worth, increasing their ability to tolerate stress and to manage life at its worst, is a skill...to be learned, and practiced, with the result of an amazing transformation of a happier you.
