About Me

I am a licensed psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in New York City, specializing in relationship issues, mood disorders, PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment-related difficulties. My primary approach is psychodynamic psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also offer clinical supervision for clinicians seeking practical case guidance.

Approach

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or stuck? Psychotherapy can help. It takes courage to acknowledge that life can become overwhelming, but recognizing the need for help is an important first step toward change. My name is Rumi Teneva, and as a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and respectful environment where you can understand and work through your challenges. My goal is to help you develop and reach your full potential. Together, we will explore the roots of your problems and re-examine the issues that hold you back, allowing you to gain insight into yourself and your behavior. With over 19 years of clinical experience in Detroit, London, and New York, I have worked with adolescents, adults, families and groups, in both hospital and private settings. My practice focuses on the process of self-discovery, which leads to self-acceptance and insight into what can be changed in your life. On this journey, I will guide you in finding a sense of inner peace and feeling good about yourself. I have helped many individuals regain their confidence by addressing unhealthy patterns that have held them back, enabling them to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.
