Top bipolar disorder therapists and psychiatrists in New York
Natividad Simmons| LCSW | Bilingual Psychotherapist
Welcome! I am a millennial therapist originally hailing from NYC and completed my education with Fordham University. I have over 10 years of experience working in areas like family therapy, immigration, child welfare, substance use, and crisis intervention. Whether you have been previously diagnosed with a mental health condition you are living with, or looking for a safe space to be supported and heard (or both) I am excited to serve on your healing journey.
I believe therapy is a safe place in which we can be heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths and find new ways to approach life's challenges.
I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.
Psychoanalytic therapy is often maligned but it remains for me one of the few treatments that seeks to address the innermost, often hidden, parts of ourselves. Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain that comes alive when spoken to a professional listener. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.
