Teletherapy for 11758

Therapy is a safe, supportive, non-judgemental place you can come to fully express your worries and concerns. I am licensed clinical social worker with 29 years of experience doing therapy. Anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, grief, medical issues, life transitions, and low self esteem are all issues I have successfully helped others to deal with. I work with individuals and couples.. As your therapist it is my role to help you to sort out your feelings, beliefs, and values so that you can become aware of your options and resolve your situation in a comfortable manner.

We are offering in person and online sessions. After having the courage to finally call a therapy practice are you tired of either not getting a response or put on a never ending waitlist? We dislike that very much too! You are in the right place if you are looking for some immediate help. Please text the clinic director, Maria, on her cellular at 917-403-3267. She will be in touch. We pride our practice in getting back in touch with everyone. We are here to help! You are not alone.

As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R), I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and couples. With a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I strive to create a rich, fulfilling, and effective therapeutic experience for individuals and couples in treatment. CBT, as you may know, emphasizes the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By focusing on the present moment and exploring new ways of thinking, clients can experience positive changes in their lives.

What began as a desire to help others became my new career as a therapist. After working both in the education and business worlds, I returned to school to follow my passion of helping others.I have over five years of experience as a therapist working with adolescent, young adult, and adult clients. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients cope effectively with anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem and manage life stressors.I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of successful therapy. You know yourself best, and it is my job as a therapist to support you in this journey.

Have you ever considered the defining experiences in your life that affect how you currently live your life and how you feel? Are there major challenges with relationships, substance use, loss, work or past trauma? Are your best efforts to avoid suffering keeping you "stuck" on the same path? Are you struggling with feeling you have become someone else's version of you?

Are you seeking support on your path towards emotional well-being and empowerment?

I'm here to offer you a safe and nurturing space to explore and overcome the hurdles that life can bring.If you're battling depression, anxiety, or the weight of past traumas, remember that you don't have to face these struggles alone. Together, we can work towards understanding the roots of your feelings and developing effective coping strategies.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt or burnout? Do you feel like you are stuck in a rut? Have you been struggling to manage your emotions?

I am compassionate clinician who enjoys working with those looking to uncover whats preventing them from reaching their full potential. Somewhere along the way we can find ourselves struggling to communicate or handle life in an effective way. I help enable clients to recognize their strengths and capabilities to face life's challenges. I work alongside clients in processing what barriers are in the way of reaching their goals and develop with them techniques to overcome them. My hope is that during the course of treatment clients walk away feeling that they've gained skills to walk through life with confidence and self acceptace.

As life moves forward with its many demands of time and energy, therapy is a place to slow down and reconnect with who you are and where you are right now. Together we can explore your experience both internally and externally, and process any hardships which may disrupt your sense of peace and ability to move towards the person and life you wish to embody. Words and emotions can carry deep meanings, so as a therapist, my priority is not only to listen, but to truly hear you. In that, I aim to support your path of discovering and becoming more aligned with what fulfills you most in your life.

I have God, so why do I feel this way?? Just because you have your faith does not make you immune to life’s ups and downs. Anxiety and Depression are very real. It is not something you can just white-knuckle your way through. And no one expects you to. Maybe the issue is further complicated because you are struggling with an eating disorder or have a family history of depression. Whether these feelings are due to circumstances that are out of your hands or something biochemical is happening, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We are a Christian counseling practice that seeks to come along side you on this journey.

Do you want better control over your life? We only have one life to live, so why not make it a happier and healthier life.You actually have a greater amount of control as to what happens to you than you realize. As a Psychologist, in teaching you techniques, I help clients to create happiness and better physical health through the science of Positive Emotions when connecting with others in every day life experiences. Feeling better emotionally leads to a happier life. Clients are helped through Hypnosis (if interested) and psychotherapy to eliminate anxiety/stress, depression, to have restful sleep, and to improve self-confidence.

My personal philosophy in life is that you can do anything you set your mind to when you have the support and faith to spur you forward. Without support or a belief system, I believe it’s harder if not impossible to be a better/matured version of yourself. If you have felt stuck or felt unmotivated by life's present challenges or past hurts and pains or just overwhelmed by it all, You have a place to find that comfort, guidance, and solutions, where it was believed there, were not.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients gain insight into themselves and their experience. Through the course of therapy, emotional healing can occur and self-empowerment can be found. I help people with anxiety, depression, and many other mental health difficulties. Sometimes just having someone to talk to about life can help. I stand here with outstretched arms.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and to live a life that is worth celebrating.
