Theresa Bergold, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Theresa!

I specialize in mental health issues, co-occurring disorders, trauma, and substance abuse. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and those navigating recovery. My approach is warm, supportive, and centered on helping you heal and grow.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing trauma, substance abuse, women's mental health issues, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, suicidal ideations, self-harm, and crisis situations. I specialize in domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, unhealthy relationships, codependency, and women's empowerment.

My approach

We'll develop a treatment plan unique to you, incorporating your goals and working through barriers together. We'll learn healthier skills to promote healing, post-traumatic growth, decrease stress, reduce anxiety, challenge negative thinking patterns, improve self-esteem, and increase self-love.

My communication style

I provide patient-centered care using evidence-based interventions through a supportive lens, holding a safe space for you to process feelings. My goal is to encourage self-compassion, self-esteem, and self-love while healing. We can laugh, cry, be angry, feel all the feelings. I'm here for you!

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm an ally and advocate for diverse and marginalized populations with a passion for helping women. I specialize in domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, trauma, and women's empowerment. My focus is on post-traumatic growth and healing.

My goals for you

We'll work together to develop a treatment plan unique to you. Therapy will help you gain relief from symptoms, maintain daily functioning, improve quality of life, strengthen self-confidence, cope with symptoms, handle strong emotions, and enhance problem-solving skills with healthier coping.

Our first session

I'll contact you to walk through how treatment works and answer your questions. During our first session, we'll talk about what you're experiencing and why you're seeking therapy. We'll gather information about your background and decide on a schedule that works best for you.
