Excessive worry, anger, jealousy and sadness that go on too often or for too long can make you and others in your life miserable. Repetitive, negative chatter in your mind including regrets, self evaluations, "what ifs?" and other unhelpful thoughts may be bossing you around when YOU and your values should be calling the shots.
Fear is nature's way of protecting us against danger. But we cannot achieve our goals if we are chronically so scared that we seek reassurance, argue, isolate and avoid taking risks of any kind.
To become resilient and live a meaningful life, it's important to get in touch with your feelings and the thoughts behind them. Thinking about the past and the future are only helpful if they quickly lead you to a plan. But too much time spent ruminating increases suffering and can cause decision paralysis.
You can learn to change, be assertive and forgiving....especially of yourself.
Write a new and improved story for who you want to be and start living it today.
FOR WOMEN WITH FERTILITY AND REPRODUCTIVE ISSUES:
Having had children naturally, by assisted reproduction and through adoption, I am able to work with you as you consider family planning options.
I practice the cutting edge, evidence based therapy known as "ACT" ,
(Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). ACT plus strategies taken from other cognitive, behavioral, dynamic, exposure and mindfulness based models of treatment are extraordinarily effective for treating emotional discomfort especially from symptoms of OCD, depression, grief, mood disorder and anxiety.
Start by calling me at:
212-337-0600 (NYC)

Tele-therapy is available to all residents of New York regardless of location
I look forward to hearing from you.
