Dr. Jorja Redway

I am a New York state licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. from Columbia University who brings over a decade of experience from adult psychiatric emergency, inpatient, outpatient, women’s health, forensic, sub-acute rehabilitation and counseling center settings. I offer individual psychotherapy and work primarily with adults or elderly adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss, as well as racial-cultural, identity and immigrant concerns. Starting your mental health journey is a significant and courageous decision that can bring up feelings of fear as well as uncertainty. Sometimes the hardest part is taking the first step, this could be yours! My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, accepted, understood and empowered to explore life’s challenges at your own pace.

During sessions you will experience an open and non-judgmental environment. I believe that therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable bringing all parts of yourself, including those you may find difficult to share. My work is rooted in evidence-based practices while employing a multicultural lens to understand the visible and nuanced aspects of each person’s identity. Using an integrative approach, I draw from a range of treatment modalities including but not limited to psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and relational therapies in order to provide a more personalized approach. I also deeply value the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship; and so in our first meeting, we’ll discuss your presenting concerns and treatment needs, with the option of continuing psychotherapy if we both agree it would be beneficial and feels like the right next step in your healing process.

In our work together, you can expect to gain deeper insight into the emotional patterns and life experiences shaping your current struggles. Clients often describe me as empathic, approachable, and down to earth. I view therapy as a shared journey and a partnership during which we are both members of the same team working toward your agreed upon goals. I’ll gently challenge you when needed, but always with care and respect for your capacity in the moment. Sessions will facilitate a supportive and nurturing space for gaining self-awareness, building emotional resilience, as well as navigating life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding. Healing begins with one decision; your journey forward can start now! Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment.
