Chronic pain or illness doesn't stop for a pandemic. In fact, it may be harder to get to your doctors or you may feel even more distant from everyone else. And your physical health may still be affecting...everything. Are you having trouble managing symptoms of an illness, side effects from a treatment, chronic pain, infertility, or the emotional burden of your own or a loved one's diagnosis? Are you looking for greater peace in your mind and body? Medical diagnoses and how we feel physically can profoundly impact our emotional health, family lives, and so much more. It can be a lot to handle on your own and you don't have to.

I have been practicing client-centered psychotherapy for 30+ years with young adults, adults, couples and groups. My credentials include a Masters Degree in Social Work, 10 years of post graduate training in individual, group, and couple counseling, plus 23 years of teaching at the college level. I am conveniently located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, just one block from the F and G trains. I accept several insurance plans. If you do not have insurance, I charge a flat rate of $75 for a 50 minute session. Please contact me by phone.917-753-0475. Looking forward to hearing from you; Sheila Solow,LCSW

Welcome! I know that finding the right therapist or coach can feel confusing or overwhelming. I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your challenges and move towards fully embracing yourself and living the life you desire. My approach brings together Gestalt, Mind-Body Somatic approaches, and over 30 years of therapeutic work with children and adults. I have a passion and expertise for helping HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE understand and embrace both the gifts and challenges of their heightened receptivity, that can lead to overwhelm, overstimulation, and other challenges.

What could you navigate in a safe space? I will use a warm, compassionate approach as we explore what you might be seeking. Perhaps you long for fulfillment or a clarified sense of purpose. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. Perhaps you’re sad or anxious, grappling with a relationship, or coping with loss. Regardless of what brings you here, I believe that sorting out your thoughts and feelings together can yield a more enjoyable life. Our work will focus on what brings you purpose and meaning.

We each come into the world with an innate blueprint for wellness. Yet life brings experiences that mold and shape us with imprints, both nurturing and harmful. As a mindbody-oriented psychotherapist, I work with clients to repair emotional wounds and cultivate growth by supporting your inherent capacity for healing. My orientation centers on an understanding that our thoughts, emotions, nervous system and physical body are intimately interconnected. And that wounding and healing take place in the context of our interwoven inner life, personal relationships and cultural / societal experiences.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. My approach is collaborative, kind and creative. Together we can build an authentic connection and create a space where change can emerge. Whether it’s distress from a relationship, life transitions, obstacles with artistic endeavors, or patterns of behavior and thought that are causing adversity in your life, psychotherapy can offer relief and a chance for personal growth.

Life is full of challenges that can become overwhelming at times. If you are having difficulty coping emotionally with any obstacles life has laid out for you, we will work together as a team to help you navigate through your feelings and find coping mechanisms that will enable you to set a firm foot on a journey to a happier and healthier you. No one should struggle alone! With over a decade of counseling experience, I will offer you a safe, stigma-free environment to work through these challenges and find individualized therapeutic solutions in changing your life for the better because you are worth it!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have worked extensively with individual adults, adolescents, and couples in New York City for over 10 years. I work collaboratively with each of my clients to strike the right balance between providing relief in the short-term from the types of symptoms and difficult circumstances that may have led to an interest in psychotherapy, while also attempting to facilitate an ongoing process that promotes greater self-awareness and an increased sense of self-confidence in defining and achieving a more productive and satisfying life.

I realize that it takes great courage to look for help. In working together with you, I will listen carefully to your problems and goals. It is my aim to make you feel comfortable, to understand your challenges, and to provide you with the most effective solutions available based on current research and expert practices. To do this I use evidence based treatments that have been tested to ensure they are effective while tailoring these to your own needs and goals. These include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness meditation, as well as motivational training to help clarify and accomplish your goals.

Are you feeling blue and can't lift yourself out of it? Do you feel stressed and worried, have difficulties in relationships or just not living up to your full potential? As a Clinical Social Worker and Psychoanalyst who has been in Private practice for more than 30 years, I have come to know that talking to someone in confidence and without judgment is healing. I am committed to helping people gain mastery over personal conflicts which often cause anxiety and/or depression, so that they can realize their goals and passions. This allows for the experiencing of one's self in an authentic way.

Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. Psychotherapy helps you reclaim yourself. We will augment your natural coping skills to help you develop a new freedom and a new happiness at work and in your relationships...in approaching your life.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults and provide play, individual, parenting, couples, family and group therapy. I am psychodynamically trained, but use an eclectic approach to address each client's needs. I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy to work with traumatized or depressed children and adolescents. I provide EMDR therapy for clients struggling with PTSD, trauma, and attachment issues. I strongly believe in a mind-body connection, and help my clients strengthen their emotional well-being. I believe that clients who feel empowered, learn coping skills, and gain insight will achieve physical and emotional strength and wellness.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a specialty in helping individuals, couples and families with all kinds of relationship problems. Parents of teens and teens themselves come to see me in order to improve their relationship with each other and to reduce the tension between themselves. I work with couples to help them communicate better and bring passion and intimacy back in their lives. I also specialize in treating symptoms of anxiety and stress.

It is a privilege to be a therapist because patients entrust you with closely held and often pained parts of themselves, along with parts of themselves they are excited about and proud of. I see our work as the creation of a place where these different parts of the patient's self can come into the room and be acknowledged and recognized. Therapy is also a place where you, as the patient, can use my listening ear to help you withstand pain and anxiety. Please see my website: zanjacobusinsightpsychotherapy.com

I believe the cornerstone of effective therapy is a positive therapeutic relationship. Drawing on my extensive experience with Clinical, Creative and Expressive Arts Therapies, I engage with clients of all ages and backgrounds to develop personalized treatment approaches to meet unique and individualized goals and needs. Whether dealing with every-day stressors of life, working through creative blocks, or coping with severe mental illness, trauma or loss, I work to highlight and harness individual strengths, abilities and talents to generate insight and develop skills to implement change.

The therapeutic relationship is a real one that can bring on great change and growth. I deeply invest in my clients and the work we do so to create the change you want and need.

I want to acknowledge you for recognizing that your well-being deserves attention. This is an important first step in your journey towards self-discovery and healthier living. Our work together will be collaborative. My role is not to give advice or tell you what to do. Rather, I am here to empower you to solve your problems by helping you gain awareness and insight into your patterns of behavior or thought processes. You will always be in the driver's seat. While I might assist with navigation, the goal is to eventually have you driving on your own.

Therapy is for anyone looking to make a change, expand their horizons or heal. I have had the honor of meeting with clients of all ages and am amazed by human resilience. Are you struggling with mood symptoms? Do you lack motivation or consistently find yourself in relationships that are less than fulfilling? Therapy can help. I also work with children via play therapy and have witnessed great improvement in emotional regulation, academic performance and relationships. I collaborate with parents and/or caregivers and am happy to answer any questions regarding treatment.

I use a holistic, relational, psychoanalytically-driven approach to therapy, incorporating Dance/Movement Therapy techniques to create healing and change in your life. My training and experience as a Dance/Movement Therapist enables me to help you with anxiety, self-esteem, creative blockages, depression, and trauma.
