PERSONAL GROWTH

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

FOR PERSONAL GROWTH

CAN HELP YOU LIVE

A FULL LIFE.

We all do the best we can to make the most of what life has had in store for us. Yet, eventually, whether because of a recent crisis, life-transition, increased tensions in our relationships, or just because it’s finally the right time, we realize that we want more from life.

Regardless of the presenting issue, my hope is always to help my clients make sense of their inner world, recognize the patterns that keep them stuck in discontent, and emerge feeling connected to themselves and others in a meaningful way. I provide an integrative approach blending depth therapy with somatic and mindfulness-based approaches (such as Hakomi therapy), all through an expert relational lense.

TO FEEL TRULY

FULLFILLED?

You’re almost always in your own head. It’s exhausting! You want to learn to become more present.

Are you caught in a vicious cycle where you find yourself counting on the next milestone in your life to bring you fulfillment?

You have gone so far down a road that has brought you success but you have this nagging feeling that you’re not living the life you wanted.

Are unresolved past issues stirring up — you finally want to address them and be at peace?

Have you made compromises in your relationships that you regret or hold resentment around?

Your life has been about rushing from one thing to the next. You crave being able to pause to really figure out if you’re truly happy and what you want from life.

WHEN LIFE IS GOOD ENOUGH, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE SEARCHING FOR THAT MISSING PIECE

However, what others don’t see is that you’ve sacrificed so much trying make others happy, avoiding unnecessary conflicts, playing peacekeeper at home, or by taking the brunt of life to protect those you love. You have some resentments about the countless compromises you have had to make. So, after years of shoving it all down, you’re starting to realize that some of those frustrations come out in unhealthy or unproductive ways. Maybe you lose your temper or you have private meltdowns or you turn to distractions that don’t result in relieving this void. Life is good-enough, but you know there has to be more to it.

Like most of us, you have worked hard in one capacity or another the get to where you are. While you’re not looking for a pity-party, you’ve endured your share of challenges, whether those were navigating difficult experiences in childhood, trouble fitting in with peer-groups, or having to constantly prove yourself academically or professionally. Let’s just say that life wasn’t handed to you on a silver platter. So you’ve figured out some coping skills (some healthy, others not so much) to get you through whatever you had to. After all, you’re the kind of person who just keeps moving forward. So, on the surface, others describe you as a high achiever, a straight shooter, or a tough cookie.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO

STAY STUCK IN THAT PLACE ANY LONGER.

I help people get out of their own way to craft the life that finally gives them the fulfillment they have been searching for all along.

YOU MAY HAVE SOME LINGERING

QUESTIONS

  • Yes I do! Online therapy, also known as telehealth, has become an essential source of receiving mental health and medical care. Luckily, we know that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions.

    As I am licensed in New York and Connecticut, I offer my therapy services to countless couples across both States and internationally. These video or phone sessions are confidential, secure and tailored specifically for your needs. Plus, you don’t have to both be in the same location to start working on your relationship — online therapy offer great flexibility for couples who live apart.

    For video session, the process is easy and doesn’t require any special arrangements. A few minutes before our session, you will receive a link to the video conferencing “waiting room” where we will meet for our therapy appointments.  Find out more about secure telehealth counseling set up and FAQs.

  • Some of my clients have a little to a lot of experiences being in therapy. Whether they were dragged by their parents as a child, their spouse, or thought they’ll go a few times to “fix” a presenting issue, all have eventually left without lasting results. Perhaps you’ve done the talk therapy thing, or the ever so popular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy thing, or the venting to a therapist that didn’t say more than two words back to you thing, you may be approaching going (back) to therapy with considerable skepticism. I get it!

    So let me be clear, I don’t do any of the above. I’m open, approachable and very engaged in the therapy process. I am truly committed to helping you become your best-self without imposing any agendas on you. Our work together will be focused toward YOUR goals. My role is to provide you with a process that invites and makes space for all parts of you by working in the here-and-now, integrating depth therapy, somatic/mindfulness-based approaches such as Hakomi Therapy. I want to empower you with ways to feel supported and centered so that even when life throws you more curveballs, you continue to stay in as whole and authentic you.

  • There’s no doubt that we could all strive to make more room to slow down, become more self-aware, and figure out what will make us happy. This kind of work does require for some key foundational pieces to be in place. As Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs clearly spells out, physiological (nutrition, shelter, air, etc.) and safety (financial stability, health, etc.) needs are critical in order to explore our needs for belonging, self-esteem and self-actualization. Additionally, if you have untreated addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or a severe mental illness, individual therapy for self-growth may be best once other pressing issues have been addressed or as an adjunct approach to the more immediate mental health concerns.

  • "We had never done counseling before, and I remember my husband was very skeptical that the therapy would ever work. After just a few sessions with Ebru, he admitted to me that it was the best decision we had made for our relationship to see her. These sessions were eye-opening to both of us. We have learned so much not only about one another, but about ourselves that we never realized before."

  • "Ebru is made for this career, it seems to be natural for her, to understand the mechanisms, to see patterns and to find very effective ways to help untangling everything."

    — New York

  • "She facilitated us in a very painful, traumatic time in our marriage and helped us communicate to each other what we knew all along.”

    Greenwich, CT

  • "We had an excellent experience. Ebru was punctual and responsive, while also compassionate and understanding… During therapy sessions she was prepared and engaged. It was clear that there was more preparation and investment than I had experienced with other therapists. We found the therapy very helpful and would highly recommend working with her."

    — Brooklyn, NY

  • "Ebru was not judgmental. She gave us both an equal voice - and calmed us if we needed to pause. She is far above a therapist we saw several years ago. We learned to communicate better and use the tools daily that Ebru addressed with us."

    — Westport, CT

  • "Ebru is warm, curious, interested and inisghtful, providing thoughtful feedback while gently challenging my prespective. She was clear in establishing goals for our work together and was successful in brining awareness to the issues I had hoped to address"
