Women's Issues Therapists in New York

I am a licensed trauma therapist and I provide teletherapy to individuals in New York, Texas, and Maryland. My specialty is developing distress tolerance, or making stress feel less overwhelming. I work with clients aged 5-18, 18+ as individuals and/or families. Stress exists as a necessary part of the human experience. For some, this experience has been more dangerous, disruptive, or overwhelming. In our sessions, I’ll provide the opportunity for you to reconnect with a sense of safety to move into a fuller life. I practice from a combination of therapy models. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the basis for skill building. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a guide for regulating the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds a deeper connection to our authentic goals.

Hello! I’m Barbara Abigide, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified (PMHNP-BC), deeply committed to providing holistic and compassionate mental health care. With years of experience across various healthcare settings, I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and mood disorders. I believe mental health is a cornerstone of overall wellness. My approach focuses on creating a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard and supported. I prioritize developing personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices like medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions. In addition to addressing immediate concerns, I emphasize preventive care and education. I work closely with my patients to identify triggers, build coping mechanisms, and foster resilience. Communication is central to my practice—I ensure you and your family are well-informed, comfortable with treatment decisions, and actively involved in the care process. Whether you’re seeking guidance for a specific challenge or long-term support for mental health management, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work toward achieving balance, mental clarity, and a fulfilling life. Thank you for trusting me on your mental health journey. Treatment Philosophy: My treatment philosophy is grounded in providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I focus on holistic approaches, combining evidence-based practices with personalized care plans to address your unique needs. I believe in fostering a collaborative partnership, empowering you to actively participate in your treatment. By emphasizing education, prevention, and open communication, I aim to guide you toward mental well-being and a better quality of life.

I specialize in working with people who grew up in an individualistic or collectivist society, who may experience difficulty with low self-esteem because their feelings have never been validated due to cultural stigma.

Life can throw us a lot of curveballs! Even happy things like relationships, pregnancies, babies, new jobs, new moves, and new places can disrupt our mental health and leave us feeling anxious or depressed. If you’re feeling less like yourself, with anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, trouble making decisions, difficulty motivating or just feeling like your new life wasn’t what you expected, a therapist can help get you on a new path towards healing and connection.  As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help people learn new ways to manage feelings of anxiety and walk with you while you work through your life transitions. I help teens and adults like you struggling with your new world and help you look forward to the future again. I am also trained to work with kids, teens and adults manage Tourette’s with CBIT.

As a bilingual (English/Gujarati) therapist, my work with adults from diverse backgrounds and age groups informs my culturally sensitive approach to treatment. I utilize an eclectic approach drawing from psychodynamic, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Therapy is an opportunity to explore our struggles in the context of our past experiences and patterns while in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space while developing effective ways of navigating them.

I’ve been passionate about working with individuals for over 25 years. I know that empathy and compassion are the key to building strong therapeutic relationships. 

Hi! Welcome. I am a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience facilitating transitions and growth. I am a firm believer that each one of us has the answers to our problems but we may need a little help sometimes to clarify goals and direction. My approach is eclectic and collaborative: I take from many different approaches that best fit with the client. My goal is to create a safe space to let you be yourself, be heard, understood and help you to reach your goals. Whether you need help with relationship issues, family problems, work related issues or emotional difficulties I would love to support and help you on your journey. On my spare time I love to read, hike in the woods: I am a certified Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing)guide and gain a lot of insight from my own nature based practice. Great job reaching out. I look forward to working with you :)

From social media to global crises, there are a great deal of forces influencing how we see ourselves. It is normal amidst all of this change to feel anxious, depressed, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Therapy can help these parts of you feel seen and heard free of judgement or shame. Together, I hope to help you foster coping skills, boost self-confidence, set and meet goals, and improve the relationship you have with yourself and others. You are not alone in what you are facing. I will work with you to compassionately tend to the parts of you that feel like they are suffering in order to help you create a path forward.  My passion is helping individuals reconnect to themselves and the world around them. To take care of our minds is to take care of our physical and spiritual health.  I have a special interest in serious illness, life transitions, palliative care, caregivers, women’s health, infertility, grief, and how nature and the outdoors can promote mental well-being. I love hiking, running, kayaking, and being with animals. Attention to the outdoors, physical movement, and the mind-body connection informs my clinical work with clients when appropriate. I graduated from The Silver School of Social Work at New York University as a Zelda Foster Palliative and End of Life Care fellow. I previously worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where I helped patients, caregivers, and healthcare staff navigate the complexities of serious illness and palliative care.

I specialize in understanding and addressing the unique psychological needs of young adults and adults. My areas of focus in practice include anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, burnout and perfectionism. I also have clinical experience and expertise in working with individuals with chronic health conditions. I completed my Doctorate in Psychology at Hofstra in 2020. My doctoral training began in 2015 and consisted of thousands of hours of clinical experience and instruction in evidence- based therapeutic techniques. I have also interned and worked within school, hospital and private practice settings.
