Top in-person New York therapists who accept cash payments

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

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.

My clients are going through difficult life transitions, whether it is parenting in a new phase, caregiving elderly parents, empty nest, career shifts and relationship changes, or even aging concerns. I take a relational approach to healing and managing stress and overwhelm that often comes from being human in a changing world and with family, work, and health concerns.

Originally from the New York City area, I now live a more peaceful life in the MidHudson Valley with views of the Catskills, farms, birdsong in the morning. My border collie Casey loves it here. From my decades of experience, I believe the most powerful healing tool is a relationship of compassion and unconditional acceptance between therapist and client. I offer my ability to listen deeply and teach you how to listen to your own heart/mind. We talk, we meditate, we use poetry, art and music as a way to open up and get past what is stuck- What is in the way of a happier and freer life?

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. Open to working with children ages 6 and up.

I offer a supportive space where you feel safe, seen, and accepted. You may be carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or feeling stuck — longing for relief, healing, and reconnection with yourself. Through EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, we work together to process pain, restore balance, and build inner resilience — at your own pace, with care and compassion guiding every step. I integrate EMDR, CBT, and somatic therapy to support healing. EMDR helps reprocess distressing memories; CBT addresses unhelpful thought patterns; and somatic techniques reconnect you with your body to release stored tension. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of support, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. Healing begins with connection — reach out when you’re ready, and know that the sooner we start, the sooner things can begin to shift.

I'm an extensively-trained psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in private practice who has worked with adults for nearly 23 years. I utilize my years of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic training, in addition to evidenced-based practices, in counseling patients. Psychotherapy will help you navigate difficulties in relationships, careers, and life in general. It will help you understand and work through the emotional roadblocks, such as anxieties and depressive moods that can cause individuals to struggle. Modalities used in my practice include CBT, ACT, DBT, IMAGO, and psychodynamic and relational approaches. An essential feature of this therapy is the development of a unique and trusting relationship between client and therapist. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, we will discuss difficulties through an exploration of presenting problems, personal history, relationships and goals.
