I take my work very seriously, which means that I strive to take myself very much not-seriously. Some sessions, you may need to cry. Some sessions you may need to laugh. This is a space for healing and growth. The most necessary ingredients for both of these things are warmth and play. My sessions can best be described as an abundance of warmth and play. I hold a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) from University of Pennsylvania, which I obtained with a focus on positive sexuality and living your best sexual self. I hold a Master of Arts (MA) in Psychological Counseling and a Master of Education (EdM) in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, which I earned with a heavy emphasis on applying a social justice and multicultural lens to therapy. While at Columbia, I also received an Advanced Certificate in Sexuality, Women, and Gender with my focus on LGBTQQIA and open/polyamorous clients in therapy.
At Gordon Therapy Group we approach therapy with the goal of achieving tangible progress, working with clients to improve their daily lives. Our team of psychologists on the Upper West Side of New York use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to work with adults, teens, and children. We specialize in anxiety and cognitive behavioral therapy for all ages.
There are a million things that make you the person you are, and finding a therapist who sees and understands your dimensions can feel like an altogether daunting task. I meet every one of my clients on an individual level with warmth, openness, and respect. I work to cultivate a space where anybody can come as they are, with a specific focus on the LGBTQIA+ community and clients who have experienced trauma. I believe in tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals, honoring your strengths and resilience every step of the way.

I specialize in working with people in their teens and twenties, especially LGBTQ+ folks, and those struggling with self-esteem and overwhelming emotions. Whether you’re seeking to build coping skills for increased emotional balance, improve communication in your close personal relationships, or untangle deep-seated patterns that are holding you back — I can help. I'm not here to tell you what to do or how to do it, but I will listen closely, help you see yourself more clearly, and support you in making the changes you want to make. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, grounded, and collaborative. Because the relationship between therapist and client is the greatest predictor of positive outcomes, I will invest time in gaining your trust and building rapport in order for you to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. Please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

Elyse Schunkewitz, LCSW is a holistic psychotherapist and brain-based coach/personal trainer. She helps clients rewire their nervous system while improving their mind-body connection. Through a collaborative approach, clients develop strong and healthy habits and mindset and learn how to feel in control of their own bodies. Elyse tends to see clients who are looking for something different from more traditional psychotherapy, may have "tried everything" and are still struggling, or are high performers, athletes, or actors and want to take their achievements to the next level. She works with a variety of issues including chronic pain, eating disorders, post concussion syndrome, anxiety, depression, executive functioning concerns, and more. Clients walk away from therapy with Elyse with noticeable improvements in how they move, feel, and perform both physically and mentally.

The therapists at Groundwork Therapy practice primarily from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective. From this foundation, we integrate cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques depending on each client’s individual needs. We believe that the primary goal of psychotherapy is to develop a deeper understanding of oneself, including greater awareness of compulsive, automatic or problematic patterns of behavior and how one relates to others. We believe that it is through increased self-awareness and self-understanding that individuals gain the freedom to make changes that will allow them to experience more fulfilling lives. We at Groundwork Therapy strive to create a culture of mutual curiosity about our clients’ thoughts, beliefs, feelings, behaviors, and past experiences. We believe that this therapeutic process helps individuals become more aware of those “blind spots” that keep them stuck in dysfunctional and/or unfulfilling relationships, jobs, and living situations. Additionally, we encourage patients to use the therapeutic relationship as a laboratory to safely “experiment” with new ways of communicating and interacting. In addition to guiding self-discovery, the therapists at Groundwork Therapy also foster development of effective skills and tools to better manage and navigate the stress and challenges of life. The therapists at Groundwork Therapy have extensive education, training and clinical experience in gender and sexual diversity. We utilize an affirmative approach to psychotherapy, including using only those labels and pronouns with which our clients identify. While you may identify as trans, queer, gay, sexually fluid, poly, asexual, or simply in love with someone of the same gender, we also recognize that these identities and relationships may have nothing to do with your reasons for seeking therapy. Your sexuality, gender identity, and relationships are only the focus for therapy if you want them to be so.
I work with motivated clients on a variety of issues ranging from relationship challenges, adjusting to school, anxiety, and depression, to grief and loss, trauma, and complex family dynamics. I help clients learn to observe a wider range of variables that are contributing to problems and make meaningful behavioral changes. Anyone who is motived to find new solutions can benefit from this work, even in a short period of time.
I founded Saltaire Psychology PLLC because I believe everyone can use a little help dealing with the chaotic moments in life, including breakups, medical issues, or deaths of loved oneer. I’m here to help you get through those difficult moments and grow from them. The key to building a strong therapeutic relationship is being genuine, providing unconditional support, and showing empathy, and that’s what I try to caaaprovide in my practice. My integrative approach utilizes humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I completed my Ph.D. at Fordham University and my internship/post-doctoral training at the Brooklyn VA. I have worked with diverse patients with a wide range of concerns including life transitions, relationship distress, cancer, chronic illness, insomnia, caregiver distress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I don’t believe that everyone needs to stay in therapy for years and years. Sometimes all you need is a few sessions with a professional. Whether the problems are short-term or long-term, big or small, we can work through them together.
No-one prepares you for the challenges experienced when adjusting to college life. The new found independence can be both exhilarating and daunting. You find yourself either missing your family or feeling relief at having a chance to forge your own identity . Between the work load and all the new interactions , you are suddenly juggling so many things all at once. It can be stressful , lonely, and emotionally overwhelming. Everyone promised that college would be life changing, and it is, but it can also be difficult. Instead of being embarrassed , or ashamed or self conscious about your vulnerabilities, its important to seek out a therapist to explore these issues to better understand, enrich and enhance your relationships and your focus. In therapy we will talk and engage in a dialogue, and my training allows me to approach your issues with flexibility, tailoring my approach to fit your needs.

Hi! My name is Alicia, and I want to meet you. Yes, you! College can be intense. You're away from home with the pressure to succeed and do well, but there's also dealing with roommates, parties, and being around people who resemble aliens. You know, they just don't get you and you've never encountered anyone quite like them before. On top of this, you may be the first in your family to go to college. You can't admit to them that it's hard. They had all their hopes and dreams riding on you. So where to go? Come to therapy! Yes, therapy. It may be your first time talking to someone, but I promise it helps to tell someone what you're thinking and what you're feeling. College doesn't have to be scary, and you don't have to go through it alone. We can figure it out together. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with many college students, especially those who identify as first-gen and/or veterans. Therapy with me is conversational. In sessions, you can speak freely. I'm not into judging. That would probably make me a lousy therapist. I offer thoughtful reflection and point out patterns in your behavior that may not be the most helpful, and then we problem-solve and strategize solutions to help get you feeling better. I can also teach you skills to help when your emotions feel overwhelming.
