Therapists that treat Seniors in Manhattan, New York NY

When times are difficult and you need to find answers to difficult situations I can help you connect to your body's wisdom to find solutions. I work collaboratively with clients using creativity, dance and bio-emotional bodywork to build a therapeutic relationship from which people can create change and find happiness in their lives. I have been helping people cope with a variety of mental illness and relational difficulties for the past 30 years; as a counselor since 1990, as a dance/movement therapist and an expressive therapist since 1994, and as a Neo-reichian therapist since 1999. With my diverse toolbox of skills I am able to provide an individualized, multilayered approach to treatment that will engage you physically, emotionally, psychologically, relationally, and spiritually.  

As an Arab-American therapist of color, I understand the value of working with a therapist who understands different cultural backgrounds, and believes that political and social structures create and worsen depression and anxiety symptoms. I will help you grow through empowerment, self-exploration, and building on your inner strengths. We may also explore your core beliefs about yourself and identify how these narratives are playing out in your life. Our work will help you develop and maintain healthy relationships, develop positive coping strategies, shift thinking and behaviors, or come into a confident self. We will work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan and I will meet you where you are with empathy and acceptance. My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be.  

I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc.  

I have over 25 years experience working with individuals & couples of diverse backgrounds, ages, & sexual orientations. Our focus will be on removing psychological obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals & improving your relationships.  

We are a holistic psychotherapy group practice led by Sadie Miller-Daley, LMHC, EMDR therapist. We are trauma informed, and believe in treating the whole person. In addition to individual counseling, we offer different groups throughout the year. A lot of these groups are included to current weekly clients of the practice. The rest are discounted to clients. We are starting two groups the first week of October: DBT Support Group for Teens and Open Adult Support Group. We look forward to helping you through any mental health issue or rough time in your life!  

Do you long for greater love and purpose in your life? Do you feel lonely? Stuck in your struggles? Sad or down? Stressed or anxious? Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.  

I view therapy as a testing ground for clients to bring their full selves and be met with curiosity, acceptance, and respect.  

If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're anxious or depressed or have problems with relationships, career or something else. Therapy is a safe environment in which to unburden yourself and begin a process of change.  

I am a dedicated, perceptive and highly competent clinician with 33 years postgraduate experience who will work empathically and interactively with you to provide a Relational analytic experience which will effect profound growth and change in your relationships with yourself and with others.  

My treatment philosophy is one that combines humanistic values and CBT in helping patients to overcome their symptoms and emotional distress, so they can lead a more fullfilling life. I also help clients with underlying issues/personal styles of responding to situations that are dysfunctional.  

NYBH Cognitive Behavior Therapists' mission is to provide the highest level of expert care to clients in a comfortable setting. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques end emotional pain (anxiety, depression, anger), increase coping skills and other helpful behaviors. We move beyond symptom re  

I believe that we are hard-wired for relationship. If you're already good at partnering, you're blessed. If you're NOT really good at it, you can learn. Robust mental health, happiness in love and in work -- these are what make a joyful life.  

My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, supportive, genuine and safe environment where you alone or with your significant other feel comfortable sharing with me your negative repetitive pattern that prevents you from from sailing through your relationship more smoothly. I want to help you to reinvent your marriage or long term relationship so that your lives intersect in the same space so I can get the opportunity to teach you how to respect each other's differences and teach you how you can agree to disagree and yet you are still able to say "I love you." I can help you both to come up with a common love language when you are home and happy or not so happy; and I can also teach you another love language that works well publicly. One works well in the bedroom and the other works well in front of strangers. All couples must develop love languages that work well privately and publicly. I want your relationship to maintain the love that brought you together in the first place. You may wonder why your love is not consistent, and you may notice that the respect you once had for one another has dissipated and the personal meaning once attached to your relationship is no longer there.. Most couples in your situation have what I refer to as their own "dance of anger" that happens again and again and again. By this, I mean couples fight about different issues but the way that they fight takes on a repetitive negative pattern and that pattern is their way of expressing anger and/or rage, regardless of the argument at hand. I refer to the way that most couples argue and fight as their "dance of anger". Remember, you can't change your partner and that is why you need professional advice. I can be your "go to person" who can teach you how to effectively communicate when you once again have disagreements that can be a threat to the survival of your relationship. I only accept accept couples who really want to preserve their relationship and can tell me that they are willing to put in the hard work, because married monogamous relationships are difficult to sustain, but by taking your marriage vows seriously, you both signed up for a loving partnership for a lifetime. Taking your vows and dancing at your wedding is just not enough because everyone's life is difficult. Life is more like "a bowl of cherries" and despite the succulent juice from the cherries, you will still have to deal with "the pits." We can't always dance through our problems. Despite making yourselves an expensive wedding or having gone to the court to take your vows,-what all married couples dwell on is trust. Is one person feeling like they don't trust the other or both feel the same way when it comes to trust, then pick up your phone to call Lorna Hayim-Baker at Riverdale Therapy & Counseling Services. I offer a free phone consultation before accepting new couples. I tell the truth when I counsel couples, and therefore, I vet each couple before I agree to meet with them in an "in person session" to avoid sessions where one partner or both can blow up my session because their personality does not mesh well with mine. My heart goes out to everyone who is about to experience "a bad breakup" or "a disastrous divorce.". I go many extra miles for each and every couple who comes into my office. I try to understand their shared stories and having a shared story is a lot easier to problem solve because they are in sync; but more often than not, I have to hear out each partner because they each have different stories to tell. I decipher their own personal stories because, in reality, there are two different versions of the same presenting problem and then their is the third version which is the most realistic story. It is only fair to hear each partner's voice as they often come to session offering their own point of view, but if one pays close attention, it often seems like there are 2-3 different problems; but in reality, there are two different sides about he same problem and sometimes even a third side that the therapist discovers and is being presented by each person. All three stories are different versions of the same problem. All sides are carefully listened to and It takes time to hear each person's interpretation of the same arguments. All stories are aired and I do my best to come up with possible solutions by providing lots of feedback. Couples can disagree with me about possible solutions that are offered. I have become very attuned to my couples because I have been doing this type of therapy for a very long time. I listen carefully to their presenting problems before providing feedback. I am not always right but I am pretty intuitive at this point in my career. Someone must try to understand the couple who came in to preserve their relationship and the hope is that I, as their therapist will remain neutral and unbiased in order to shed light on why the couples are not hearing each other as they each struggle to voice their complaints. More often than not, one or both partners become very defensive and neither one is listening to the other and their fight escalates. That's why they need an unbiased and caring therapist to intervene and help the couple deescalate by having them share the details of the original complaint that turned into a communication breakdown. Couples begin fighting right in front of me & my job is to stop their dispute and call a halt to their bickering so we can examine why their communication pattern broke down in the first place. Both partners are acting out and becoming nasty and defensive. Each partner had the same wish, which was to have their voice heard as he or she expresses their own complaint. I need to point out when their wheels are spinning but they are getting nowhere and they are in fact, stuck. Couples need to stop and listen to each other so I can help them come up with a plan that can get them "unstuck." To be an effective couples' counselor means that at the end of the session, the couple walks out with a sense of having a shared understanding of their problems and with a shared sense of hope because they learned how to tackle the types of ineffective communications that lead to "blow out fights" Hopefully, I will be your therapist who teaches you how to not add fuel to the fire. I want to be part of the solution and teach couples how to stop turning molehills into mountains. I am the therapist who loves watching love as it grows and makes both partners seem so much more mature.  

I work with adults who want to change their lives and get to the root of what makes them think, feel, and react in ways that keep them stuck. They desire to lessen stress, reduce anxiety, and improve their relationships. We work together to understand and minimize their negative responses to triggers. We explore the events, thoughts, and feelings that led to painful relationships and low self-esteem. We work together to develop realistic individualized strategies to minimize unhealthy patterns that prevent joy and peace in their lives. We collaborate to implement realistic changes that improve their quality of life.  

As a psychoanalyst with more than 30 years of experience, I see both straight and LGBTQ+ people in my practice for individual and couple therapy. In couple therapy, I see people in traditional marriages, people living together or apart, people in open relationships, and people in polyamorous relationships. I also specialize in issues that are germane to the LGBTQ+ population. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or seeking to better understand the source of difficulties in your relationships, psychotherapy can be an opportunity to grow and change.
