Flourish Psychology is a private practice in NYC that works with patients from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of personal and mental health struggles. We have an incredible team of therapists that are kind, caring, educated, and create a safe space for you to be seen.
Like many therapists in New York, we treat conditions like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work stress, and other issues and challenges that affect so many of us. But we also have specialty services that are available to those that need extra or specific help that may not be addressed through traditional therapy.
Examples of Our Specialty Services
Flourish Psychology works with many high profile clients, as well as those with higher level needs. As such, we’ve begun providing additional services and support for specific situations – each one designed to provide a different and often higher level of care to those that are the right fit. These include:
Exclusive Therapy – Exclusive therapy is a popular option for high profile clients that may require more ongoing, personal care. Exclusive therapy is a service where patients are given more significant, customizable access to a therapist to help them with ongoing needs, such as executives struggling with work stress or celebrities consumed by perfectionism.
Eating Disorder Intensives – Our eating disorder intensives are, as the name implies, services that provide a more intensive level of care. Patients that are stepping down from high level care or are looking at alternative options may find that these intensives provide them with the support and resources they need to thrive.
Career Counseling – Although we are not here to specifically help you find a new career, we are here to help those that are feeling stuck in their current professional world discover who they are and what would be most fulfilling. We can also help those in high stress jobs work through those issues to make better decisions for their future.
Art Therapy – Art therapy is not necessarily a “specialty service” as it is a highly regarded form of therapy that offers an alternative to cognitive behavioral therapy, among other treatments, but it is a form of therapy not many people are aware of. Through art, patients are able to learn more about themselves and how they see the world,
We are also, both within our practice and in the mental health world, moving away from diagnoses as much as possible, in favor of understanding that you are uniquely you and so too are the struggles and needs that you have. That means if you need something a bit more customized to help you thrive, we can be there with options and ideas.
Learn More About Our Specialty Services
At Flourish Psychology, our belief is that it is truly important to provide our patients not with cookie cutter mental health, but with personalized approaches that meet them where they are. If you’d like to learn more about our specialty therapy services, we encourage you to review the links above or contact us at any time with your questions.
Couples counseling is one of the best tools available to heal a struggling relationship. Couples therapy is real therapy – researched, effective, and a great way to address marriage and relationship difficulties.
But it’s also important to remember that a relationship is made up of two individuals. You are one entity, but you are also two people with two different backgrounds, needs, and more. As such, it’s important to remember that sometimes, the best approach to healing a relationship is not healing the relationship, but healing yourself.
Trauma and Relationships
Anxiety, depression, stress – there are many things that affect our ability to be present in relationships, to handle stress, and more.
Past traumas can be especially problematic. There are many situations where a person’s unresolved traumas affect how they feel and how they act in their relationship. For example:
Past infidelity in an past relationship can cause people to struggle to trust their current partners, even if their partners are not giving them any indications of infidelity.
Parental issues can cause people to have stress about abandonment, or about how relationships should work. Divorced parents that fought often may lead to children that grow up struggling with affection or stress.
Assault can lead partners to have trouble with intimacy, which in turn can hurt a relationship over time.
These are all examples of ways that a person’s past traumas can influence how they give and receive love, how they handle stress, and much more. When these situations occur, it is possible to heal them in a couples counseling setting. But it may also be valuable to look at these as an individual issue.
Perhaps, instead of seeking treatment as a couple, you may benefit from receiving your own personal treatment for these past traumas.
How We Address Unresolved Trauma in Therapy
We can use individual counseling, rather than couples counseling, to address these unresolved traumas. We can try to help you process things that maybe you were not able to process in the past, or confront emotions that you haven’t been able to address. There are therapeutic modalities that are very effective for dealing with childhood trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, and more, all to help you address these issues in the short and long term.
We can also help you learn coping skills that can help you in your relationships, so that you are able to still address the challenges of your marriage.
Couples Counseling vs Trauma Therapy
Couples counseling remains a highly effective way to address issues in a relationship. But sometimes, what you need most to help your marriage is support for you as an individual. If you would like to learn more about either couples counseling or individual therapy, please reach out to Flourish Psychology, today.
Certain high stress, high profile careers require working with a therapist that can adapt to your schedule and your needs – someone that can be there for you when you need them and support you in a way that is discreet, adaptable, and highly personalized.
It is with that in mind that Flourish Psychology is able to offer exclusive mental health services, also known as “concierge therapy,” working with high profile patients on their schedules and in ways that better meet their ongoing needs.
If you or someone under your care may be interested in concierge therapy, we invite you to read more about it on our exclusive therapy page or fill out our screening form for more information.
How Does Concierge Therapy Work?
Concierge therapy is therapy on your terms. It is best for high profile clients and those that are prioritizing their mental healthcare as part of an ongoing, life-improving plan. Concierge therapy is like having your own personal therapist, with benefits that include:
Available More Often – You have someone that is not limited to a single, set session once or twice a week. You can contact us more often, with more hours available, to make sure that your mental healthcare is more of a priority.
Accessible in Off Hours – Mental health does not occur 9 to 5 during normal business hours. If you need to contact someone, we are more available – including over non-standard hours – and can find time to provide you with ongoing support.
Provides More In-Depth and Customizable Care – Because we are more available, we can
You also have a therapist that you can turn to for any purpose – someone you can use as a sounding board for business decisions, help with a relationship conflict, or address/identify triggers as they occur. Through concierge therapy, we make you feel like our only client, providing you a level of care that will help you address your mental health needs.
What Can Be Treated in Concierge Therapy
Concierge therapy is not about treating a specific disorder. It’s about supporting the whole person. Stressed by a business decision? Feeling lost or lonely? Noticing that you’ve been down? What matters is not a specific condition, like anxiety, depression, trauma, or eating disorders, but rather an approach to therapy that addresses the whole you. Since concierge therapy is an exclusive service not bound by insurance, there is no wrong “treatment” or specific condition needed.
Who is Concierge Therapy For?
Concierge therapy is available for those that desire prioritizing their ongoing mental health more. It is primarily for those of high profile or high profile families – celebrities, athletes, influencers, CEOs, lawyers, doctors, and similar professionals or their families – that are refocusing on themselves and determined to live a better, more balanced life.
Flourish Psychology is in Brooklyn in New York City, and able to support anyone that is looking for this form of exclusive, ongoing help. If this sounds like you, please reach out today to our front office, and let’s put you in touch with our exclusive therapists.
Therapists, like our team here at Flourish Psychology, are here to help you manage your mental health. We are also here to guide you and act as a sounding board for your thoughts, concerns, and needs. It is that latter service that brings people to therapists when they’re looking for a career change.
Our therapists are able to provide a service known as “career counseling.” Career counseling helps individuals navigate their professional paths, make informed career choices, and address challenges related to job satisfaction and career development.
With career counseling, we provide support and strategies that help clients understand themselves, their goals, and the various factors influencing their career decisions, using techniques that:
Facilitate Self-Discovery and Self-Awareness
One of the primary roles of a therapist in career counseling is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This involves exploring personal values, interests, strengths, weaknesses, and personality traits that can influence career choices. Through assessments, guided discussions, and reflective exercises, therapists help clients identify:
Core values that drive motivation and job satisfaction
Skills and competencies that align with specific career paths
Personality traits that may affect workplace dynamics and job performance
Long-term goals and aspirations
By fostering this self-awareness, we are able to enable clients to make informed career decisions that align with their authentic selves, leading to greater fulfillment and success in their chosen – or new – professions.
Address Career-Related Anxiety and Stress
Career transitions, job searches, and workplace challenges can be significant sources of stress and anxiety. Our therapists use our experience in mental health to help clients manage these emotional hurdles by providing coping strategies and emotional support. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and stress management tools can help clients overcome anxiety related to job interviews, career changes, work/life demands, and more.
Help Clients Develop Decision-Making Skills
Those in high profile careers are often tasked with making difficult decisions both in their jobs and for themselves, personally. Making these decisions can be overwhelming, especially when faced with multiple options, uncertainty, or profound financial risk.
Our career counseling therapists guide clients through structured decision-making processes, helping them evaluate their options, weigh the pros and cons, and consider the long-term implications of their choices.
Provide Career Assessment and Exploration Tools
Therapists that provide career counseling use various assessment tools to help clients explore their interests, aptitudes, and potential career paths. These tools include personality assessments, interest inventories, skill evaluations, and values assessments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Holland Code, or StrengthsFinder. By interpreting the results of these assessments, therapists can:
Help clients gain insights into suitable career options
Identify areas of growth and development
Align clients’ strengths with potential job opportunities
Create personalized career development plans
These assessments offer a structured approach to exploring career possibilities, helping clients feel more informed and confident in their choices.
Support Career Transitions and Change Management
Many individuals seek career counseling during times of transition, such as changing industries, returning to work after a break, or navigating job loss. Therapists guide clients through these transitions by offering emotional support and practical strategies for adapting to change. This includes:
Helping clients redefine their professional identity and goals
Assisting with resume building, job search strategies, and interview preparation
Encouraging resilience during periods of uncertainty
Providing tools to manage the stress and emotions associated with change
Our therapists help clients view career transitions as opportunities for growth, enabling them to adapt more effectively and embrace new challenges.
Identify and Addressing Workplace Issues
Therapists often work with clients to address challenges they face in their current work environment, such as conflicts with colleagues, workplace bullying, burnout, or a lack of job satisfaction. In this role, therapists help clients develop communication and conflict resolution skills, establish healthy boundaries and work-life balance, address imposter syndrome or feelings of inadequacy, and explore strategies for coping with workplace stress
Enhance Soft Skills and Professional Development
Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and leadership, are essential for career advancement. Therapists help clients develop these skills by identifying areas for improvement and providing strategies for growth. This can involve:
Role-playing exercises to improve communication and interpersonal skills
Coaching on leadership and management techniques
Providing feedback on professional behaviors and attitudes
By focusing on soft skills development, therapists contribute to clients’ overall professional growth and readiness for career advancement.
Promote Long-Term Career Resilience and Adaptability
In today’s rapidly changing job market, adaptability and resilience are key to long-term career success. Therapists play a vital role in preparing clients for ongoing career development by helping them:
Embrace a mindset of lifelong learning and skill development
Adapt to changes in the job market or industry
Set realistic career goals and action plans
Cultivate resilience to bounce back from setbacks or challenges
By instilling these qualities, therapists enable clients to navigate the ups and downs of their careers with greater confidence and flexibility.
The Comprehensive Role of Therapists in Career Counseling
Therapists in career counseling serve as guides, mentors, and coaches, helping clients navigate the complex and often stressful world of career development. Their roles extend beyond simply matching clients with job opportunities – they address the psychological, emotional, and practical aspects of career planning, ensuring clients are well-equipped to make informed decisions and manage the challenges that arise.
Flourish Psychology is a boutique private practice that works with those looking for more out of their career. We spend most of our lives working. You should be able to love your job and make decisions according to your own values. If you’re in the NYC area and you’re ready to gets started, please reach out to Flourish Psychology, today.
Flourish Psychology is a boutique private practice that often works with those in the public eye – celebrities, CEOs, lawyers, politicians, and other high profile clients. It is that work that we do that often makes us one of the leading therapists for influencers – a career that is directly in front of the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Influencers and content creators, for their careers, often live on their phones. But this can be a problem for their mental health.
Beyond Social Media
Many people – including right here at Flourish Psychology – have discussed the mental health challenges that can come from being a social media figure. It can be a very difficult profession. Negative comments, perfectionism, exploitation – content creators often struggle with issues such as anxiety and depression that come from such a public facing career.
We encourage you to view our “influencer therapy” page or blog posts like our phone addiction post if you’d like more information about those topics.
However, some of the issues that people experience when they’re influencers go beyond the comments, judgement, and other social media challenges. Many influencers – and non-influencers – also struggle with what’s known as “Digital Overload.”
Digital overload affects anyone that is on their phone too often. It refers to the constant, massive consumption of digital content that many of us engage in every day.
Our brains are not designed to consume that much media at once, on that many topics, in this type of means. Every day, those that are on their phones or tablets too often – which includes not only social media influencers, but also most adults these days – are consuming massive, massive amounts of media right in front of their eyes, cutting off the outside world in the process.
This is too much for our brains to handle. We aren’t built with the ability to process that much information. It’s important to remember that, while it can feel like this information is easy to consume, our brains find this level of processing to be stressful. As a result, we become more likely to develop:
Stress
Anxiety
Poor Concentration
Depression, and More
When our brains are overloaded with this much information, it can also lead to fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness, and more. All of this can also occur subconsciously – meaning, you do not realize it is happening, and may feel “fine” or even relaxed while you’re on your phone. But behind the scenes, your brain is becoming more and more stressed.
Everyone, regardless of profession, benefits from reducing their information consumption and, ultimately, their digital overload.
But influencers are in a rough spot – you work online, which means that you need to be not only on a screen, but specifically on your phone. In addition, the more interaction you have and the more you do online, the more you can create content and build your brand.
Already at higher risk for depression, anxiety, and perfectionism, this added screen time and digital overload runs the risk of continuing to create more and more stress while also making it more difficult to cope with online and offline life.
What Can Be Done?
Unless you plan to give up being a social media celebrity, it will instead become important to have a strategy that you stick to with managing your online life. Examples may include:
Limit your working hours. Make sure that you’re only on your phone intentionally and be completely offline when you’re not working.
Limit your unnecessary content. Only follow people that are good for your career and follow friends/family, limiting all other unnecessary interactions and content.
Fill your “unplugged” time with outdoor activities, exercise, friends (without the content), and other things that reduce stress.
We also encourage you to reach out to Flourish Psychology. We’ll work with you on stress coping, time management, anxiety reduction, and how to log off when you lead a largely digital life. Through therapy, we can help provide support to give you back control and aid in your long term mental health.
If you’re struggling with digital overload, or you have anxiety, stress, phone addiction, or other issues potentially caused by being online too often, reach out to Flourish Psychology, today. If you’re interested in more personalized support, learn more about our exclusive mental health services.
