I have been seeing Dr. Lavender for about two and a half years. She has been utterly amazing. I understand myself so much better than I used to, and she has helped me deal with numerous problems in my life. In addition, she has been flexible and understanding about scheduling. I cannot say how glad I am to have found her.

I have seen a few therapists in my day. What stands out about Joan was her gentle touch, honesty & humility & talent for helping me think about my issues.

My hope is to convey a sense of comfort, thoughtfulness and responsiveness, no matter what you share with me, from the first to the final session.
There are six elements that shape my approach: what brings you to therapy, my education, clinical experience and past psychotherapy, our deepening therapeutic relationship, our unique life experiences and a crucial element called felt sensing. Felt sensing gives you immediate access to your EMOTIONAL progress, as it occurs, moment by moment. I have never found anything quite like it and my clients feel the same way. After many years of practice, I am still astonished by this process, which has been identified as a central agent of change in psychotherapy.
Issues I treat:
I treat anxiety, adjustment disorders, loss of a loved one, life transitions, newcomers to New York, high level autism) and relationship issues, work issues, competition and envy, crises, personality disorders and styles, attention deficit disorder, mood disorders, affective disorders (depression, bipolar and other mood disorders), anxiety disorders (obsessive compulsive style and others), complex post traumatic disorders, dissociative disorders, mild eating disorders, family Issues, somatization disorder, women's issues, work Issues, fear of feelings, hypersensitive personality styles, self-esteem Issues, narcissistic personality style.
.
I can work with Corona health workers in short-term sessions if needed.

I had relationship problems personally and at work. I wasn't sure whether a therapist the age of my boss would understand me. I was wrong! Interesting. Got practical help from Dr. Lavender who really got it. Nice sense of humor too.

I felt very low when I went to see Joan. I didn't expect much but a friend recommended her so I went along. Joan really listened and she put me at ease. Thanks to her, I feel like a worthwhile person again.
