Therapists for college students near 10003

New Pathways Counseling Center is an established group practice serving the Park Slope community and surrounding areas for more than twenty years. Our services include individual and couple/marital counseling. Our therapists have a wide variety of training, experience, and expertise. We help clients through a wide variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family stress, work/educational stress, trauma, and much more.

We all get overwhelmed. New challenges can emerge, coping skills cease working, and new skills need developing. Therapy can help light the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, ADHD or everyday life becoming unmanageable, therapy can provide you with the tools to cope. I want to be there to support you during this process. Successful therapy starts with the formation of the counselor-client bond. Therapy is a relationship where a private, supportive, and non-judgmental alliance is fostered. Psychic injuries, biological dispositions, familial experiences, and successful life experiences shape our present. The past affects how we relate to others and why we carry wounds into the present. New and old life events can lead to self-destructive coping. Therapy can heal wounds and impart insight. Symptoms and diagnosis need not define us. We can learn to appreciate life’s joy and successes. Call for a no-fee phone consultation and start the journey. I practice an integrative approach to counseling informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Attachment theory. I specialize in the treatment of depression, bipolar, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. Other areas of concentration include improving self esteem, increasing assertiveness, improving interpersonal relationships, and managing life transitions. Our counseling experience starts with a no fee phone screening to see if we are a good fit. You and I will ask a couple questions to get an idea of what you are going through. If I have the right tools and you feel comfortable, we will proceed to the paperwork and setting up our first Telehealth session.

I intend to help clients address their attachment and developmental trauma, often at the root of anxiety, depression, and other challenges, using NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model). Its heartfelt approach utilizes the shared human experience to support the client’s development and growth. . Within the modality’s framework, I create a collaborative environment where clients can reconnect to their heart’s desire as we address internal obstacles. In our exploration, the client finds healthier ways of relating to their self and environment.

Skeptical? Good! The therapeutic relationship and experience of your counselor should be taken seriously.

Approaches Mindfulness based: most generally, exercises and a practice on awareness of your senses. Simple and radically transforming. This approach is unique, flexible and backed by research and measurable outcomes. It’s accessible, experiential, and highly rewarding. I view this approach as mind hacks to get around the junk in your head and drop back into your body. Trauma informed: incorporating evidenced based practices, common courtesy and acknowledgment that all of us have experienced hurts in some form. It is a way to embody and practice a non-pathologizing approach that honors your past while being grounded in the present. Systems oriented: life in context gives us freedom to understand ourselves and accurately place the hurt of our experiences back where they belong.
