Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York


Top bipolar disorder therapists and psychiatrists in New York
Hello! My name is Samantha Olson. I am a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping my clients improve relationships and better manage distressing thoughts/emotions.
The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist based in New York, working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and questions of meaning.My clinical training includes CBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based approaches, along with certification in psychedelic-assisted therapy through CIIS and MAPS. I also have experience supporting clients around identity, immigration, and cross-cultural experiences, and offer therapy in both English and Russian.
Psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice with 15 years experience.
Master of Social Work degree from New York University.
Participant at Apres Coup Psychoanalytic Association since 1990
I am a insight oriented therapist that strongly believes that "there is always hope for a better tomorrow". I am an experienced therapist specializing in issues of depression, phobias, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, ADD, eating disorders and obsessions. I work particularly well with couple/marital issues, family issues and drug addiction.
