Upper East Side Psychotherapy

Do you really need therapy? Well, everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may be courageous enough to handle your issues yourself, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it.

One of the reasons that CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) has such a tremendous success rate is that the approach helps patients rethink the belief that they cannot live or function without whatever is troubling them.

Think about this, if you could wave a magic wand, what positive changes would you make in your life? Talk with your psychotherapist about them and let him or her help you set goals and make a plan to achieve them.

There are five stages of grief denial, blame, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, there's no predictable pattern of progression, and those grieving may waver back and forth as they move towards acceptance. The role of a psychotherapist is to help those in need reach that point.

Robert Biswas-Diener has truly said, The good life is best construed as a matrix that includes happiness, occasional sadness, a sense of purpose, playfulness, and psychological flexibility, as well autonomy, mastery, and belonging.

A psychotherapist isn’t just someone who is warm-hearted, kind, empathic, supportive, and a good listener. A good therapist will also teach and challenge clients to help them know more about themselves.
