Motivational Interviewing Therapists in 11790

I work with children, couples, and adults who are looking for strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and the new stressors that we have faced during the pandemic. Together, we will assess and identify the symptoms causing distress and disruption in your life and using a strengths based approach create strategies to reach your goals.

My passion and interest is in people, their stories, their struggles and their triumphs. This has led me to my mission to help people create the life they have always wanted. I passionately believe that the key of being a good therapist/counselor/coach/mentor is not to help people be something they’re not... but it’s to help people become more of who they really are!

Reaching out for help can be scary. I aim to make that process a smooth one with support and encouragement. I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a therapist. My clients come to me with a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, illness in themselves or a loved one, and much more. What I see time and time again that they have in common is a feeling of powerlessness. Whether it be over their symptoms, their family members, relationships and even themselves. I help them to understand themselves and their circumstances more fully.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker who treats individuals and families with various presenting problems in the interest of helping them better understand behaviors, while refining their abilities to cope.

Hello Friend, I support teens & adults (ages 13-60) who have difficulties. I aim to help people understand these issues & guide them to make a plan that fits. They unlock their potential in areas of life they feel are important: friends, family, work, school, etc. I'm client-focused & use science-based methods. Towards the bottom of my profile, I describe difficulties & symptoms that I treat. I welcome anyone who wants help, even if they aren't sure what they need or what to do. We can figure it out together. I am proud to support clients of all backgrounds: culturally, neurodivergent (ASD), parents, LGBTQIA+ community, etc.

Life can bring uncertainty and pain that we need help to navigate and heal from. Are you feeling unhappy or lost? Having relationship difficulties? Worried about the future? Have you endured great losses or hardships that are leaving you feeling confused, isolated or unlovable? You do not have to shoulder this alone. Maybe you want to feel fulfilled or joyful. Maybe you want to cultivate meaningful relationships. Maybe you want to grow in ways you never thought possible. I am passionate about helping people put the pieces of themselves back together in a way that leaves them feeling inspired and open to life's possibilities.

Excessive stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and even depressive thoughts can manifest during all different time periods in our life. Many of the work with my clients surrounds around life transitions, illness, chronic illness, loss, work related stress and relationship issues/ break ups and body dysmorphia. While times like these can get tough and may even feel unbearable, it is important for you to know that these feelings/ situations are completely normal and you do not have to cope with these feelings and situations on your own.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership that functions optimally when there is a positive, working alliance and authentic attachment between a client and therapist. Goals must be focused and must reflect the issues that are most compelling for the client. A therapist should be nonjudgmental, empathetic and present. Respect for each client's journey supports the development of trust and connection, allowing each client to develop a new and empowering narrative that helps them to reshape their lives.

Someone ready and willing to engage in the therapeutic process, motivated to make positive changes in their life, and committed to their personal growth and well-being.

I provide strengths based therapy to help individuals build effective coping mechanisms to address life challenges. I am committed to providing services that help you strengthen home, school, career and community partnerships by reducing overwhelm, stress and conflict.

My work is shaped by the knowledge that we all have the capacity to grow and learn through our life experiences. I believe that sometimes our most difficult experiences can bring us our greatest life lessons. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults to build on strengths, develop new strategies, and work to remove obstacles holding them back from reaching their fullest potential in life.

Life transitions can be overwhelming when managing a career, relationships, and family. I work with adults and adolescents to find relief from anxiety, depression, sadness, anger, and grief. We’ll work together to identify underlying issues that are preventing you from being your best self. We’ll focus on developing constructive coping skills, building resilience for the future, and breaking unhealthy patterns.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. -Carl Yung It is hard when you're told by other people you have so much in life to happy about, but you can't really feel it for yourself. Laying in bed often wondering, "Could I do more?", "Am I enough?", and "Why does it seem like I am missing something?". Asking yourself about these kinds of things are actually brave and courageous thoughts! Many times we feel alone or are afraid to share what we think and feel because no-one wants to be judged or ridiculed. To trust someone with our inner most thoughts and feelings, must be respected and protected.

Have you been struggling and you feel like you can't talk to family or friends? This is where a professionally trained counselor can help! If you are tired of feeling like you are not getting anywhere and want to be empowered to navigate your life with more confidence and authenticity, I want to help!

I have always enjoyed helping patients reach their full potential. I strive to draw out the inner strength that is within all of us. Identifying potential and developing positive life goals are the keys towards creating positive changes. My strength is providing compassionate care that relies on the belief that the client has inherent positive value.

Searching for a therapist is difficult, but finding a good fit is important to making therapy successful. In my work with children, teenagers, and adults, I work to create an environment and process that helps work towards getting out of negative patterns and cycles by learning to identify them.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist providing a welcoming, safe, supportive and accepting environment for (age 18+) young adults, middle-aged and older adults to create a path to healing, self-acceptance and change when faced with difficult life transitions, stress, anxiety disorders, depression/ mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, emotional, physical and sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, family and relationship issues, grief and loss and women's issues.
