My name is Roy Berman, L.C.S.W., B.C.D. , C.A.S.A.C., C.S.A.T. I have been a psychotherapist over forty years and I was clinically trained at Columbia University School of Social Work. I also have over two thousand hours of training in the addictions. My areas of specialty are alcoholism, substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, compulsive over-eating, co-dependency and how these disorders affect the family. I am a psychodynamic and interactive psychotherapist. I actively get involved with my clients, constantly offering feedback and interpretation, not afraid to actively participate in the therapeutic process.

As a licensed mental health counselor, my approach is warm, friendly, and client-centered. I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is the most important part of the therapeutic journey. I pride myself on being able to get a good sense of my clients and who they are individually in order to develop a strong therapeutic alliance. I am empathic and validating, but I am also skilled in challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be getting in the way of living one's best life.

作为一名咨询师，我相信每个人都有自己的内在资源来引导他们找到真正的自我。所以我希望能够提供一个安全和不被评判的空间和来访者一起去探索和讨论。我擅长的课题包括个人成长，亲密关系，人际关系，焦虑，抑郁, 药物滥用等。As a mental health counselor, my primary goal is to establish a safe and non-judgmental environment where my clients can identify and explore any area of concern. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to discover and utilize their inner strengths and resources. With extensive experience in assisting adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, our sessions encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to relationship issues, substance use, and stress management.

Life's journey of fluctuations with unexpected & painful circumstances can leave us experiencing prolonged sadness, pervasive anxiety, and overwhelming stress. My passion as a therapist is to provide an authentic and empathic space for you to process and navigate your emotions, while enhancing your strengths & self-worth. I take a holistic approach to therapy. With more than 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I work with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, work-related stressors, and marital/couple's issues. I am also dedicated to working with clients who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD.

I am focused on creating a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space, where my clients can be their authentic selves and feel empowered to achieve their therapeutic goals. My relationships with clients are collaborative, insight-driven, and solution-focused. I help my clients gain a holistic view of their identities and presenting problems through exploring their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and lived experiences. I specialize in the following areas: depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, major life changes, identity development, communication difficulties, and sexuality.

While some people have a strong sense of who they are, you may struggle with feeling like you don't really understand your own true self. If this is how you are feeling, I am here to go on this journey of self-exploration with you. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has experience working in clinical/hospital settings and treating a wide array of mental health diagnoses. As a school social worker, I also have experience working with children struggling with behavioral issues, family conflicts, life transitions and self-esteem.

As difficult as life may seem at times, I aim to help my clients feel as if they don't have to go through it alone. I strive to provide a warm, supportive, and culturally-sensitive safe space for my clients. I empower clients on their healing and self-growth journey by truly allowing them to feel heard and accepted. My goal is to help individuals regain control over their mental well-being, and together in a supportive therapeutic space, we can accomplish exactly that. I have worked with at-risk adolescents and adults from a variety of cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and races.

Healing can happen with the courage to understand one’s own life story. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward prioritizing emotional well-being, promoting healthier behaviors and routines, and fostering self-compassion. This journey often includes examining the dynamic challenges that impact our relationships. As each person presents with a unique set of strengths and challenges, I strive to personalize treatment to meet your personal goals, build upon your strengths, and help you feel in control of your life. Most importantly, I prioritize doing this work in a warm and supportive environment.

I believe that we seek treatment when we feel dissatisfied in our relationships, careers, or with ourselves. We might not be aware that our emotional conflicts block us from achieving what we want. Change and flourishing of creativity can occur when the analyst creates an accepting and safe environment for expression and exploration of all dimensions of our experiences. I am an experienced analyst with over twenty years of practice working with children, adolescents, adults and couples in Manhattan and Great Neck.

I take an empathic and supportive approach to therapy by establishing a safe space for my clients to uncover and explore painful emotions. Whether you’re experiencing chronic stress, feeling anxious or depressed, together we will identify goals for therapy. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of every client—with the aim of helping the client develop new coping skills, enhance self-awareness, foster positive change, and increase overall satisfaction and well-being. My specialized training includes both cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic treatment.

As a psychotherapist I work from a compassionate and empathetic perspective. My work takes in to account the whole person by exploring my client’s life experiences in order to build increased awareness to promote growth and a deeper sense of healing. I help clients to identify undiscovered potential, create positive change, and work through a multitude of issues. Clients come to me to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, educational issues, low self-esteem, times of transition and relationship issues. I work with all types of clients. I frequently work with those struggling with anxiety and various ways in which it manifests.

I am passionate about breaking the stigma of vulnerability and reframing it as a sign of strength. Therefore, I invite my clients to take a step closer to becoming more comfortable with vulnerability. I understand that, while the past has shaped all of us and helps to explain who each person is today, I believes that each person still has the power to choose how their past experiences can help them thrive in the present and the future, and I am committed to helping my clients do just that. I also help clients build a more secure relationship with themself in order to connect with others in a more purposeful manner.

You have appeared ok, but deep inside stressed for quite a while. You have thought about therapy, but either mental health is too much a topic to face, or you find it too hard to find a therapist who can really understand your culture and speak your language. So you decided to suffer silently. You searched Dr. Google many times too, and worried that your situation could get much worse if you don't find the right therapist to help you. Wait no more. Our psychotherapists are here to help.

My focus is on introspection & interpersonal relationships. I integrate a traditional and holistic approach in a safe and peaceful setting. I tailor to your personal needs and wants by removing the masks and uncovering your personal truth/individualized self. My practice incorporates skill building to help you understand why you make the choices you make and to live your life through self-acceptance, self-love, and confidence

In my work with clients, I help them draw from their own strengths to meet their indvidualized therapy goals and improve their relationship with themselves and those most important to them. I work collaboratively to help clients identify their thoughts, emotions, and reactions to stressful experiences to gain new perspectives for effectively adapting to challenges. Whether you're seeking individual therapy or couples therapy, my priority is providing a warm, supportive therapeutic space that can help promote a sense of safety, positive change, and genuine insight into your presenting concerns.

As your therapist, I will help you know yourself in a deeper way. In doing so, you will be better equipped to enact changes in your life that will lead to greater happiness and a sense of well-being. We cannot erase negative past experiences. We can, however, work together to help you to better understand and to respond to these experiences in more constructive ways. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, I will help you to become more aware of your long standing, negative behavioral patterns which are getting in your way of resolving challenges and of establishing and meeting your goals in life.

I work hard to create a safe and inviting space for my clients to work on whichever problems they choose to bring into their sessions. My approach reflects my empathic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate style. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in treatment, as I believe that healing happens when there is a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with and empower my clients to harness or reclaim their inner strength and power. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, work/life stress, life transitions, and trauma.

I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that begins with stepping out of one's comfort zone and welcoming change. I make diligent efforts to create a safe space for my clients to openly talk about vulnerable issues. I work hard to build a strong alliance with my clients as well as a space that reflects my nonjudgmental and supportive stance. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, adjustment issues, self-esteem problems, and suicidal ideation. I also provide therapy for issues that relate to family conflict and divorce.
