Therapists in New York

I received my masters in social work from the Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work. Currently, I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) with over 12 years of experience working with a diverse population of families, couples, adults and groups at a large non-profit organization whom suffer from depression, anxiety, panic disorders, personality disorders, AD/HD disorder etc. However, I have particular interest in working with persons, who are struggling with various life transitions such as entering college, retirement, new or ending marriage/ relationship, new mothers and fathers and military families amongst other transitional periods that life brings them to increase their self-esteem as well as to help them gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms so they could led a fulfilling life. Lastly, working with biracial or multicultural individuals or interracial couples that are struggling with various aspects of their selves or relationship such as family issues and/or interpersonal difference is a passion of mine. I have an eclectic approach to therapy but I particularly draw on Psychodynamic, solution focused therapy and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques and tailor them to the individual needs of my clients who are unique in their own ways. If you are seeking a caring, warm, empathic and genuine practitioner, then we would be a good fit. We will work collaboratively to solve problems, increase your self-confidence and create healing so you can live a mentally healthy life.

I began helping people at a Mental Health Clinic in New York. This lead me to a three year training program in therapy at a New York City Hospital. I have also taught at several New York Universities and Colleges. My training was theoretical. However, decades of practice has adjusted my approach in treatment to be more practical in order to address the issues of stress, anxiety and depression to help you achieve a well adjusted and satisfying life. I also acquired Certification in Critical Incident Stress Management while working with New York City Police, after the fall of the World Trade Center. This training has lent itself to helping people outside of the Department. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects many people on many levels. It also appears on multiple levels of degrees. Anxiety, stress and depression occur with separation and loss throughout life. Recently, I completed a year of study on Adoption Competency at Georgia State University. This training has proven to be a great toil in addressing and helping people with other separations and losses. Loss can cause anxiety, stress and in divorce, death and numerous other unexpected incidents in life. If you are willing to begin the journey to discover what is causing your discomfort, lets talk. I am looking forward to meeting you. Thank You, Phyllis Taliaferro LCSW-R
