Supportive Psychotherapy in New York
How I Help Clients Through Supportive Psychotherapy
In supportive psychotherapy, my focus is on helping you cope with current challenges, strengthen your existing skills, and feel more emotionally grounded in your daily life.
This approach is collaborative, practical, and present-focused. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or relational stress, I provide a warm, steady presence and tools to help you manage distress, build confidence, and regain a sense of control.
Together, we work to reduce painful symptoms, reinforce your inner strengths, and create a space where you feel truly heard and understood. Supportive therapy can also complement other forms of treatment or serve as a stabilizing foundation when deeper work may feel overwhelming.
My goal is to be a consistent and compassionate support as you move toward greater resilience, clarity, and emotional well-being—at a pace that feels right for you.
Get support to change your life.
How Supportive Psychotherapy Can Help Clients
Supportive psychotherapy helps clients feel more stable, understood, and emotionally equipped to manage life’s challenges. It focuses on strengthening coping skills, boosting self-esteem, and reducing emotional distress—while offering consistent, compassionate support.
In this approach, the therapist acts as a steady, nonjudgmental presence, helping clients process their feelings, make sense of their experiences, and regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming.
Supportive therapy can help clients:
Manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress
Navigate life transitions, grief, or chronic illness
Strengthen emotional resilience and coping skills
Feel less alone and more grounded during difficult times
Build confidence, hope, and a greater sense of self-worth
This type of therapy is especially helpful when someone is in crisis, going through a major transition, or needs a safe space to talk through complex emotions. It can also serve as a stabilizing foundation for deeper therapeutic work when the time feels right.
Above all, supportive psychotherapy offers something deeply human: consistent care, validation, and the comfort of knowing someone is walking alongside you.
