NYCP offers virtual individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy. Our team specializes in anxiety including panic and OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, trauma, and DBT.

I specialize in helping teens and adults with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, life transitions, and helping you feel more in control of your emotions. I provide my clients with concrete and valuable tools, as well as a greater understanding into their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that contribute to self-defeating patterns and conflicted relationships. In the safety of this open environment, you’ll be able to explore new ways of living that are free from anxiety, nagging self-doubt and criticism. My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to you based on your unique needs. Working from an antiracist and LGBTQ+ affirmative lens; I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic techniques, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Are you a creative person with high aspirations experiencing procrastination, perfectionism, and a hostile inner critic? Do you want to feel more free in your work or your relationships? Do you feel anxious or depressed and want to obsess less and laugh more? We will think together to figure out why you feel stuck, and how you will transform. We will collaborate to your unique strengths, using an eclectic approach. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in the state of New York and received my Master's Degree from New York University in drama therapy. I completed post-graduate psychotherapy training at the Institute for Developmental Transformations, where I also served as Associate Training Director for three years. I worked at the School of Visual Arts as a psychotherapist and for 9 years worked at Bellevue Hospital in the department of psychiatry. I utilize empirically supported and embodied creative approaches to psychotherapy including Attachment Focused EMDR (completed levels 1 -3). I believe we should all be free to love who we love, to identify in whatever way feels most natural to us, and I am honored to hold space for anyone who is questioning what is "right" for them. I am fortunate to have worked with individuals from many continents. I strive to be aware of the power and privilege I have in the therapy space. I invite dialogue and play for exploring issues of cultural identity, race, class, trauma and abuse of power. I am an out-of-network provider for Wellfleet-Cigna (SVA, NYU, Cooper Union, Sarah Lawrence, etc.) and submit the paperwork on client's behalf.

I am a therapist at ThriveWell Psychotherapy where our aim is to provide a warm and affirming space that focuses on individuals’ innate strengths and promotes self acceptance. Through a collaborative and interactive approach, we support our clients by exploring their emotional health and engaging in the change process, to reach their fullest potential. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship challenges, executive functioning concerns, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, life transitions, and transitions into and out of competitive athletics. I collaborate with my clients to determine which therapeutic strategies best meet their unique needs, goals, and preferences. Above all, I hope to create a warm, safe space where clients feel empowered to make lasting changes and ultimately achieve their goals. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, playing tennis, thrifting, cooking, trying new restaurants, and traveling.

I believe that physical and emotional safety and connection within a therapeutic relationship can help clients access and heal their relationships with themselves and others. For this reason, I deeply value the relationship I form with clients. I offer support with empathy and curiosity, as you move through old feelings, bring attention to your present experience, and build trust within yourself. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, with the goal of reducing feelings of shame and self-judgement. I will reflect and validate your experience, notice what might be happening in the moment, and encourage self-reflection. Trauma can block our ability to heal, and I have deep grounding in approaches that create a holding environment, gently and gradually building safety and trust. I can support you as you increase your capacity to heal, through sharing and corrective experience, so that you can experience more regulation and joy in the present. I work with adults and adolescents. Some of the issues I work with are anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as grief and loss. I’m an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and have experience working with issues particular to LGBTQ+ folks. I have extensive training and experience in developmental trauma treatment and attachment-oriented approaches. I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I’ve also been a hospice volunteer, and completed trainings in grief counseling and end-of-life doula work. Other areas I’ve trained in are cultural humility, working with shame, treatment strategies for habits and addictions, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and psychedelic therapy for end-of-life anxiety and palliative care. I graduated with a BA in English from Barnard College, an MS.Ed. in Infant and Family Development and Early Intervention/Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College, and an MS.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Hunter College. I have over 15 years’ experience as a trauma-informed, early childhood special educator and mental health consultant. It would be an honor to connect with and bear witness to your process.

I am a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapist who works with young adults and adults on issues of identity, gender, sexuality, family and relationships, self-esteem, and anxiety. My focus areas include relationship patterns, unconscious dynamics, and family conflicts, particularly as they intersect with gender and identity. Direct and open, I aim to bring genuineness and compassion to our work together, and look forward to helping you find new paths for yourself. I'm passionate about therapy's power to help people live more creatively, and bring this flexible, nonjudgmental, and collaborative approach to our work. Together, we create a compassionate, dynamic, and sensitive environment tailored to your unique situation, needs, and goals so you always feel supported. I draw on psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, along with mindfulness and a calm, sometimes humorous style, to help you feel stronger and freer. My path to becoming a therapist began with social work, teaching, and therapy in a community mental health clinic. This experience deepened my commitment to providing care that is sensitive to people's circumstances and the larger systems they navigate. Today, I bring a warm and open mind to the hidden aspects of your speech and concerns in each session. When I’m not in session, I am most often drawn to the arts and comedy.

Do you want to better understand yourself and the patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while also developing tools to cope with life's challenges? As a mental health counselor, I help you achieve just that. I specialize in helping patients across the lifespan navigate issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, ADHD, relationship concerns, interpersonal challenges, identity issues, life transitions, and self-esteem. My goal is to meet you where you are, to help you feel more confident, connected, and empowered to create change in your life. One of the most important parts of therapy is having a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment, and I strive to build that kind of relationship by working alongside you. You don't need to know exactly what you want to say or have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Together, we can explore what you're experiencing, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns in your life, build tools for navigating challenges, and identify changes that feel meaningful to you. Above all, therapy should feel like a space that is truly yours, where your individual needs, experiences, strengths, and goals guide the work we do together. I work from a person-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed foundation, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities and evidence-based techniques based on each patient's individual needs rather than believing that one approach works for everyone. Empathy, authenticity, and collaboration are central to my practice, as I'm passionate about creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood while gaining insight, building on your strengths, and developing tools that support growth. In our sessions, expect a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My style is compassionate, conversational, and curious, while also being active and engaged in the therapeutic process. Psychoeducation and practical tools such as coping skills, grounding, Mindfulness, and emotional regulation techniques are part of that work, helping you better understand and manage what you're experiencing. I also incorporate psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other approaches based on your individual needs. Together, we’ll explore deeper patterns, build insight, develop practical skills, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. My path to becoming a therapist grew from a curiosity about people and a genuine desire to understand and help others. From a young age, I spent time babysitting and tutoring children, including those with autism, ADHD, and other learning and developmental differences, and through those experiences, I discovered how meaningful it was to build connections, understand each person's individual needs, and find different ways to support them. This ultimately inspired me to pursue psychology and become a therapist. Today, I bring that same curiosity, empathy, patience, and openness into my work, enjoying the chance to get to know each patient as an individual, understand their perspective and experiences, and create a space where they feel comfortable being themselves. I love traveling, learning about different cultures, and trying new foods – I'm a big foodie! Pottery is one of my favorite creative outlets, and I also enjoy playing piano, listening to music, and going to concerts. Being outdoors is another passion, especially hiking and scuba diving, and I'm always excited to try new things and explore new places.

Dr. Del Psychotherapy on Park Avenue is committed to serving the New York community. Each clinician brings their years of training and individual life experiences to the work. There is a commitment to developing a safe space where you have the opportunity to figure out who you are. What your needs are and how you get your needs met. Each clinician has an integrated approach to working with people. We appreciate the courage it takes to go towards therapy and we work very hard to be sensitive to each person's unique story.

My name is Scott Graybow. I am a psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience and extensive post-graduate training. I welcome the opportunity to help you work on the issues that bring you to therapy. I understand therapy to be a cooperative effort in which we work together to help you engage with your mind, your environment, and your relationships. Therapy is pragmatic yet deeply meaningful; we simultaneously focus on immediate problems and opportunities for long-term growth. Throughout our work together, I strive to offer help that resonates with your individual needs and preferences. I work with young adults, adults, seniors, and couples. People who work with me are often seeking help for depression, anxiety, trauma, sexuality/intimacy, LGBTQ issues, self-esteem, religion/spirituality, work/life balance, men's issues, and the emotional impact of navigating challenging life transitions. As your therapist, I work to help you understand yourself so you can grow, be more effective, and cope better with the problems that bring you to therapy. I earned a PhD at the CUNY Graduate Center and an MSW from Columbia University. I completed postgraduate psychotherapy training at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society. Besides private practice, I’ve worked as a therapist at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Washington Square Inst., and Montefiore Medical Center. I also have experience teaching clinical practice classes to graduate-level social work students and publishing/presenting peer reviewed articles about psychotherapy and other mental health topics.

I provide a collaborative, affirming approach to therapy that combines mindfulness, skill-building, and empathetic exploration, drawing on my training in evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In our work together, we will challenge what isn’t working in your life, while celebrating and building upon your existing strengths. My areas of specialty include life transitions (e.g. moving, starting a new job or school, relationship beginnings or endings), anxiety and worry, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity concerns, and trauma. I often encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as I believe therapy can provide an important space to understand and address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

With more than six years of experience as a psychotherapist, I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, helping you explore how your past and present experiences shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Whether you're navigating anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, or a significant life transition, my goal is to work alongside you in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where real growth is possible. My practice welcomes adolescents, young adults, and adults alike. Authenticity is at the heart of everything I do. Meaningful therapy begins with a genuine human connection, and I strive to create an environment where you feel safe being fully yourself, without judgment or pretense. By showing up with honesty, curiosity, and openness, I aim to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, collaboration, and real understanding. Therapy with me is a conversation, not a cold process. At the core of my approach is a strong, genuine therapeutic alliance because I believe that kind of connection is what makes meaningful change possible. When we work together, I listen carefully to both your words and what lies beneath them, helping you uncover clarity and strength you may not have known was there. For exploring how your past and present connect, I draw on psychodynamic therapy. To give you practical tools for managing anxiety, ADHD, and mood-related challenges, I weave in techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). When OCD is part of the picture, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you build distress tolerance and find relief from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. This blend of insight-oriented exploration and evidence-based tools is designed to support change that lasts. A desire to help others has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. As I moved into young adulthood, that impulse deepened into genuine fascination with the science and philosophy of the mind. Social psychology captivated me, particularly the landmark experiments of Stanley Milgram, and I found myself drawn to the rich landscape of therapeutic orientations, from psychoanalytic frameworks and humanistic psychology to attachment theory and beyond. That curiosity translated into action through internships and professional experiences that shaped me as a clinician. I gained hands-on skills working with adolescents and adults within the child welfare system and in crisis intervention settings. Providing care to patients across a broad range of cultural backgrounds has profoundly enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to meeting each person with the attentiveness and respect they deserve. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me at the gym, training in Muay Thai, or exploring a new restaurant. I also have a longtime love of voice acting and rarely miss a chance to catch a new film. These passions keep me energized and present in my own life, which I believe makes me a better, more grounded presence for you in ours.

As a licensed mental health counselor with more than seven years of experience, my work centers on supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, adjustment disorders, trauma, and personality disorders. Warmth, integrity, and cultural competence guide everything I do. In our work together, I create space to explore vulnerability, deepen personal understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Discovering your thoughts and feelings in therapy deepens your insight into how you move through the world and who you truly are. Beginning therapy is a significant commitment, and I don't take that lightly. The strength of the patient-therapist relationship is, in my view, the most important factor in your ability to heal and grow. That's why I strive to build authentic rapport that fosters genuine curiosity, safety to make mistakes, shared humanity and humor, and direct but empathic honesty. Creating this environment that feels supportive and non-judgmental is always my first priority. There is never a challenge too small or too large to address in therapy, and I believe it can be a profound healing experience when you have a trusted therapist you can rely on. There is real value in reflecting on your past experiences to understand how your foundation has shaped you. Our early relational experiences significantly impact attachment styles, and in the present, we often seek out situations that feel familiar even when they no longer serve us. Through this process of exploration, we work together to transform unconscious habits into conscious choices. Central to that work is how you view yourself. Building an empathetic inner world, where self-compassion rewires how your brain responds to stress, is an essential part of the therapeutic process. That clearer view of yourself improves the quality of your choices, ensures your decisions align with your core values, and helps you recognize and overcome fears, dismantle implicit cycles, manage insecurity, and strengthen your communication. This kind of self-awareness becomes especially important during life's transitional moments, when developing healthy cognitions and habits provides a framework for emotional stability and long-term resilience. Together, we can identify maladaptive thought patterns, explore cognitive reframing, and practice reduced reactivity to manage stress and build emotional regulation over time. Throughout all of it, you remain the true expert on yourself. The goal is always a collaborative partnership, one where the safety of a strong therapeutic alliance gives you the freedom to grow toward your most personal goals. My role as a helper and listener began as the oldest sister in my family and grew through many meaningful professional experiences. Before becoming a therapist, I offered career counseling to adults with disabilities, helping them develop self-advocacy skills, build independence, and practice radical acceptance. I also supported college students as they navigated the unique pressures of campus life and the challenges of emerging adulthood, exploring together questions of identity, relationships, and purpose. These experiences deepened my commitment to becoming a therapist. Over the years, I've developed a clinical identity grounded in continuous learning. Every session offers fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of the human experience. My approach is tailored to each person's unique needs, and I am committed to evolving alongside my patients by incorporating creative modalities and evidence-based treatments. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, watching movies, being creative, and exploring new museums and restaurants around the city.

I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, eating disorders, OCD, relationship struggles, and academic stress. I am attuned to the role oppression plays in my patients' lives and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I enjoy working with students, artists and people with creative practices, those undergoing life transitions, and people seeking to understand intergenerational sources of suffering. My style is warm and nonjudgmental. I am guided by the belief that each person contains inherent strengths and knowledge, and that a primary goal of treatment is to allow for the expression of this unique experience. In our work together, we will move between past and present to understand what it’s like to be you. We will look carefully at your struggles, as well as how you love and dream. This diligent attention to your experience can result in satisfying and often surprising changes in personal, creative, and professional endeavors. In time, this knowledge of the self may also reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and physical pain. I am a New York State licensed master social worker and graduated with honors from Silberman School of Social Work. I am a candidate in adult psychoanalysis at the Contemporary Freudian Society. I have also been trained in the treatment of eating disorders. I have worked with people of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexuality, and class backgrounds. I invite you to reach out to me.

As a compassionate and culturally sensitive licensed clinical social, I support adolescents, adults, parents, and families. Together, we navigate anxiety, social anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, identity exploration, parenting, family conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, alcohol and substance use, trauma and PTSD, and emotional regulation. In our time together, I ensure a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you are empowered to explore your experiences. I'm passionate about helping you develop emotional resilience, reinforce your communication skills, and achieve greater overall well-being. Empathy and connection are at the heart of my work as a therapist because healing and growth, I believe, happen through safe and supportive relationships. These values help me be a collaborative partner in your journey so you can explore challenges, build on your skills, and work toward positive change at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and individualized, helping you develop greater self-understanding, healthier patterns of behavior and communication, and more meaningful bonds. Together, we work toward reducing distress, building effective coping strategies, and creating positive, lasting change that supports greater satisfaction in life. You can expect a warm, safe, and supportive environment as we work together, using culturally responsive, strengths-based, and trust-centered therapeutic approaches to help you build emotional regulation skills, navigate life changes, manage stress and anxiety, and support your relationships. My style is compassionate and patient-centered, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make changes that support your personal growth. My path to becoming a therapist began by working with children and families. Early in my career, I helped children identify their emotions, express their needs, and develop healthy attachments. Along the way, I developed a deeper appreciation for the ways our early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural background shape who we are and how we connect with others. I learned that every behavior, emotion, and coping strategy has a story behind it. This perspective helps me approach each patient with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that growth occurs when people feel safe, supported, and heard. I enjoy yoga, hiking, and biking to stay active and recharge, and I love a good game of backgammon. Theater, art, and independent films are among my favorite ways to unwind, and cooking and traveling round out my list of interests.

As a mental health counselor, I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, suicidal ideation, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and life transitions. No matter what you’re struggling with, I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood.

I also incorporate art and play-based interventions to support your self-expression and engagement. My path to becoming a therapist began with working in case management at a nonprofit organization, supporting individuals living with severe mental health challenges and co-occurring substance use in a community residence setting. That experience deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered, trauma-informed care, and it's why I bring empathy and curiosity about your unique experience to every session. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy baking, spending time with my family and cats, trying new recipes, and exploring new restaurants and cuisines. I also make time for self-care to recharge.
