PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER and PSYCHOTHERAPIST IN NEW YORK, NY

Located in Chelsea/Flatiron
AVAILABLE IN PERSON AND VIA TELEHEALTH

Ann is a very attentive and knowledgeable mental health professional. The group modality was strange for me at first but I’ve come to believe in the power of it.l, mostly through the very helpful work we did together under Ann’s guidance. Ann has a great way of being very supportive and also not mincing words. She leads well, has a lot of insight to share, and also gives the group room to work and grow ourselves. I would highly recommend her and her colleague Steven to my friends and neighbors.

Ann has been very supportive during challenges I faced in my life. Prior to her, I had seen multiple therapists, and had been given multiple diagnoses. My time with Ann had released me from previous definitions and the work we did together led to me to different places in my life. Ann is an active listener, she is honest, and asks questions that will assist you out of walls that you or others may have unknowingly created for yourself. I see that Ann genuinely cares, and she does this with purpose. I recommend her endlessly.

I have been seeing Ann for over four years now - she is extremely attentive, compassionate and extremely educated. She challenges you in a way that fosters personal growth and perspective. I feel that she is now more of a friend than a therapist, I highly recommend Ann and her practice!

I’ve been working with Ann for a while now and she has changed my life in many ways. She has helped me manage my anxiety and overcome depression to the point that I am living a fuller life. She is insightful, kind, caring, and supportive. I feel very lucky to have found her and to be a part of her weekly group which I never thought I’d want to be involved in.

...I've seen countless different psychiatrists and therapists over the years, but Ann has been the only one to ask me the right questions, to push me out of my comfort zone, to help me to start to accept myself. The work is challenging and sometimes frustrating, but Ann understands that and is committed to helping her patients work through those complications.

Working with Ann has been a great experience and I’m so happy to have found her practice. Highly recommend for anyone looking for care.

Ann and Steve provide a safe, warm, and inviting environment that stimulates people in a group therapy setting to open up and share for purposeful, life changing growth that will help you in your personal life and the business world. All members are invited to bring any topics because it is beneficial to everyone. All members are encouraged to participate as it rounds out the experience. I highly recommend!!!!!!

Wonderful, challenging, and truthful. I highly recommend Ann and her co-therapist Steven to anyone who wants more out of life. Group therapy or social therapy is just that – social. It is a rare opportunity to meet many people from all different backgrounds, and all work on becoming better together. It can be intimidating to bring your problems to one person, let alone a group, but you get to hear many perspectives that you never thought of before, and you are richer for it. Ann and Steven are not passive therapists, but actively give opinions readily, and will call you out when needed. (I needed this.) They participate in group discussions with you, and along with my groupmates, I now consider them friends. I owe them everything.

Ann has helped me grow as both a human and as a therapist myself. She has offered me new ways of thinking about life’s challenges and how to perform differently in relationships. I am not sure if I would be where I am today without her guidance, wisdom, human experience and loving nature.

Ready to Make a Change? Let’s Do This Together.

Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, depression, or the complexities of life, we are here to help. I promise we’ll figure this out.

How I Can Help

I’ve always believed we have the power to change our lives (and maybe even the world while we’re at it). If you’re here, you’re probably ready for some change too. With over 40 years under my belt as a psychotherapist, life development coach, social therapist, and social activist, I’ve had plenty of tough conversations—and I love them. Why? Because those difficult talks are where the magic happens.

Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or just feeling stuck, I’ll help you figure out what’s going on, explore your options, create new possibilities, and get you moving forward. Together, we'll navigate the hard stuff, accept where you are, and build on that—without beating ourselves up along the way.

Powerful Transformations

One of the reasons people work with me is their desire to grow emotionally and to acquire new emotional tools to address anxiety or depression.

I believe we can grow throughout our lives. Often, the tools we use to handle conflicts, losses, decision-making, and relationships are ones we developed earlier in our lives. While these tools may have helped us through challenging times in the past, they might not be effective anymore. We need new tools and new ways of responding.

If you're ready to make changes and seek more fulfilling ways to navigate your life, I'm here to help you grow and change. Together, we can develop who you are today and who you aspire to become.

(If you are considering medication or are currently on medication, we can integrate medication management with your therapy.)
