Jonathan Schnapp

I am a licensed New York Psychotherapist, who works with individuals, and couples, using a psychodynamic and eclectic approach, which draws from a variety of practice theories. I have experience working with individuals from diverse multicultural backgrounds. People decide to come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, lack of confidence or are simply feeling stuck. In other situations, they are grieving the loss of a loved one or are struggling with a traumatic event. Often, people want to learn new ways to manage their stress. This is especially true during periods of change and transition in their lives, such as marriage, pregnancy, parenting, moving, divorce, change of career, illness, and other major life moments. I work with you to help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and inner conflicts. Key steps include identifying unhealthy, repetitive patterns and making connections with early life experiences. This will enable you to make positive changes and healthy decisions, reinforcing you strength and confidence. You don’t have to be a slave to your preconceived, and often unconscious, ideas about yourself and the world, that hold you back. You can take control of your life, and choose goals that are truly right for you, as opposed to accepting someone else’s idea of what is best. You don’t have to continue operating on autopilot. Make a change today, and become the author of your own life.
