Welcome!
Thank you for finding me.
My name is Kaori Stram. I am a psychotherapist based in New York specializing in anxiety treatment.
My focus is on helping adult individuals (18+) throughout New York, Florida and Vermont who are grappling with a range of anxiety and stress symptoms, including restlessness, tension, irritability, difficulty focusing and breathing, panic attacks, and PTSD symptoms.
My mission is to support you in quieting your mind, breaking free from stagnation, and undergoing transformation so that you can embrace life fully.
Are these feelings familiar ?
“I doubt my abilities and often feel like something is wrong with me.”
“I'm constantly plagued by worries and find it hard to shake off negative thoughts.”
“I want to assert myself and stop others from taking advantage of me.”
“I feel disconnected from myself.”
“I don’t feel understood or heard.”
Do you recognize any patterns?
High-functioning anxiety: Functioning well in various aspects of life, but struggling with significant anxiety.
Imposter Syndrome: Feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, accompanied by a fear of being exposed as a "fraud."
Perfectionism: Setting excessively high standards, leading to self-criticism and concern about others' evaluations.
People-pleasing tendencies: Consistently prioritizing others' needs over your own.
How does therapy help ?
Firstly, therapy provides a safe space for you to explore and articulate your emotions and the underlying causes of your distress.
☞ You will be able to step out of your head and gain perspective.
Secondly, therapy fosters not only insights but also embodied understanding, leading to moments of clarity and self-awareness.
☞ You will be able to find your own solutions and answers.
Thirdly, therapy equips you with new emotional skills and strategies to navigate life's challenges.
☞ You will be able to build a toolbox for healthy coping and resilience.
How I can help YOU
While therapy may seem intimidating, I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for our work together. Our sessions will be collaborative, focusing on clarifying your thoughts, identifying your emotions, and unraveling the complexities of your issues.
I offer sessions online via zoom for New York, Florida and Vermont residents. We will meet on a weekly basis, and I am available on most weekdays and some evenings.
As your therapist, my primary goal is to offer you a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you feel supported and empowered to confront life's obstacles.
My expertise lies in working with individuals experiencing symptoms of anxiety and stress, often alongside issues such as panic, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and trauma.
I am fluent in both Japanese and English, and I am eager to embark on a healing journey with you.
Let's embark on a journey of healing and transformation together. Your story deserves to be heard, and your journey towards wholeness begins here.
