Integrative Psychotherapy NYC
This page serves as a central entry point to integrative psychotherapy topics in my practice. It
offers information on anxiety, depression, mood, relationships, trauma, identity, and compulsive behaviors (ADHD). The sections below detail conditions, symptoms, and treatment approaches I use in my work in Manhattan.
Dr. Matthew Paldy, PhD, LP — NYC Psychotherapist
I am a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst with a PhD in Organizational Behavior, working with individuals experiencing emotional, relational, and professional challenges in New York City.
My approach integrates psychoanalytic thinking with modern psychological and neuropsychological approaches to help those suffering in high-pressure environments.
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
- I feel off but can’t explain it: Something feels emotionally or physically out of balance.
- Multiple overlapping issues: Anxiety, stress, mood, and relationship strain.
- Functioning externally, struggling internally: You appear fine but feel anxious or depressed inside.
- Racing mind: Difficulty slowing your thoughts, even during rest.
- Body tension: Fatigue, heaviness, and chronic stress in the body.
- Emotional swings: Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally shut down.
- Disconnection: From self, others, or present experience, sometimes linked to
loss or grief.
- Relationship difficulties: Conflicts with your partner or coworkers.
- Feeling stuck: Being in a job that pays well but feels grim, and you can't see how things can change.
- Desire for deeper change: change:< Not just piecemeal approaches, but transformation and growth
Addressing the "Total Self" in Manhattan
Integrative psychotherapy addresses multiple factors that may be causing you distress: your emotional life, relationship patterns, unconscious psychological issues, and their effect on your physical body.
- Chronic Anxiety: The inability to decompress and feel safe and relaxed.
- Relational Fatigue: Dating burnout, attachment issues, and loneliness including
couples therapy.
- Emotional Dysregulation: Irritability, anger, mood shifts, or numbness.
- Self-sabotaging Patterns: Obsessing, avoidance, or compulsive thinking.
- Bodily Symptoms: Stress that appears in the body, including effects of
unresolved trauma.
Core Pillars of My Practice
- Relational Dynamics: Attachment patterns shaping relationship choices and cycles.
- Self-Esteem and Confidence: Strengthening your internal strength and ability to weather the storms of life.
- Psychosomatic Disorders: Understanding how psychological issues can induce a range of physical symptoms.
