Let’s find a better way forward.
Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Online and in New York
‘‘How did I get here?”
You imagined being in a better place by this point in your life.
There’s increasing pressure from expectations deep within yourself and others that weighs on your head, tightens your neck, and hollows your chest.
The everyday city grind and the stresses of New York City are not forgiving… and it’s exhausting.
‘‘Why is this happening?”
Uncertain about a significant life decision… “Is this the best move for my family and me?”
Hopeless or detached from your own identity… “I thought I knew what I wanted and who I wanted to be.”
Feeling overwhelmed by your current circumstance… “Everyone else around me is getting ahead, so why not me?”
A significant relationship is slipping away… “I thought we turned a corner, but we’re unhappier than ever before.”
Comfort zones have become barriers to moving forward.
The strategies that usually get you through are not working like they used to anymore.
You’re avoiding the things you need to straighten your course.
What once felt like your strengths have now turned into weaknesses.
Deep down, you feel angry at yourself for being in this situation – feeling embarrassed and incompetent that you can’t handle this on your own.
Parts of you remain hidden…
… even from those who think they know you.
You want to erase the parts of yourself that hold you back from reaching your true potential. But somehow, no matter how hard you try to distract yourself from them, ignore them, or push them away, you can’t seem to break free.
Life gets harder as time goes by, and you’re afraid things will only get worse if you don’t do something now.
It’s time to leave behind what’s not working for you and free yourself from the past.
There’s a better way forward.
Don’t let your comfort zone lure you back to where you came from.
Change is your comfort zone’s nemesis. Your brain and your comfort zone have a very cozy relationship, and it’s not always the best deal for you – especially when they hang out with avoidance and denial.
The effects of falling back to that old beaten path could lead to increased emotional distress and reactivity, losing important relationships, destructive coping mechanisms that only make matters worse, disempowerment, and unfulfillment.
Taking a step to trust a stranger with the most vulnerable aspects of yourself takes immense courage.
Welcome to Integrative Therapy Center.
Juan Robles-Gil Aleman
We offer practical help to New Yorkers who are struggling to find clarity and emotional balance so they can live the fullest life possible.
Integrative Therapy Center offers multimodal, multi-culturally competent psychotherapy services to adults, adolescents, and couples.
We offer individualized therapy to help the diverse needs of professionals in the corporate and non-profit worlds, people who work in creative fields, people of color, students, and immigrants.
Whether you are stuck making a significant life decision, feel overwhelmed by your current circumstance, are hopeless or detached from your own identity, or realize that a significant relationship is slipping away, you are reading this because you’ve reached a breaking point.
We are determined to be completely honest with you. Ask your therapist any questions about themselves or the process of therapy.
We want you to feel you are talking to a human being and not just a clinician who sees you as a box or a percentage. Our goal is that you experience a warm and empathic connection despite the goal-oriented nature of our work.
For us, therapy work extends beyond the therapy room, and the limits of your progress lie within your choices, and sometimes, chemical imbalances that require medication management.
Accountability is essential in the work that we will do, as is the acceptance of the things we cannot change. If we can help you, and you will put in the often-uncomfortable work that therapy requires, we are confident that you will find the therapy experience highly rewarding.
Take a step forward toward a better tomorrow.
