About My Clients
Most commonly clients seek out the therapists in my practice for their high level of experience and ability to connect authentically. We most often treat anxiety, depression, couples concerns, trauma, LGBTQIA+ support, grief, eating disorders, and substance abuse. We work with individuals, families, couples. Some clients seek therapy to alleviate acute suffering while others seek personal growth by improving confidence or relationship skills.
My Background and Approach
Therapists at www.happyapplenyc.com work with couples and individuals and specialize in couples counseling, anxiety, depression, and trauma. All of our therapists have specialty training in empirically-supported techniques. These include CBT, EMDR, EFT, DBT, IFS, and psychodynamic and attachment-oriented approaches. Depending upon the client's goals and preferences, we may draw upon one or a combination of approaches. Generally speaking, therapy with us is interactive and engaging. Our therapists work to make sure clients feel both supported and challenged; we find that this ensures clients make steady progress without feeling excessively overwhelmed. As outdated behaviors and perceptions are identified and modified, clients report increased confidence, improved relationships, and greater effectiveness in school and work. Free from the internal constraints that formerly hindered them, clients ultimately find themselves living more fully and authentically.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We at Happy Apple® believe that all people, whether highly adjusted or greatly struggling, can benefit from psychotherapy. No problem is too big or too small, too common or too rare. Clients should feel free to share any and all concerns with our therapists, who are non-judgmental and strongly committed to confidentiality. Therapy can alleviate acute suffering but can also facilitate relatively minor, yet rewarding, changes such as elevated confidence and improved interpersonal skills. Clients might choose to engage in therapy or coaching for a brief period to address a specific concern, or for an indefinite amount of time in order to maximize their personal potential and degree of life satisfaction.
