Therapists in Suffolk County, NY

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Life in an ever-evolving and increasingly digital age brings unique stressors and issues that can be difficult to deal with on your own. I treat clients who seek support through life transitions, relationships, experience anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Sometimes having a person to talk to outside of your situation can help you begin to feel better. Life can feel difficult, but you do not have to go through it alone.

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed overnight. You may be struggling with insomnia or moods that upset you and that are damaging your intimate, family, and peer relationships. Recent changes in society and your living situation may have triggered life transitions which have sorely stretched your ability to cope. You may feel stuck in a repetitive cycle, making the same mistakes over and over without understanding why and feeling powerless to make productive and positive changes. Maybe you feel traumatized or that choice has been taken from you and you are grasping at regaining some semblance of normalcy in your life.

Have recent events shaken the foundation of your mental health? Have you found yourself suffering loss, reevaluating priorities, or questioning things you previously took for granted? Have you experienced too many changes too quickly, causing you to lose your mental equilibrium? If now feels like the right time to begin psychotherapy, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you. I will use my education, training and life experience in a therapeutic relationship to help you navigate the challenges of being a thinking and feeling person in an uncertain world.

I am a mental health counselor(MHC-LP). I graduated from Adelphi University with my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am fluent in Spanish, and also received a bachelor's degree in Spanish and Translation studies. I have worked with a large variety of clients from pre-teens to adults, and have experience working in both private practices and school settings. My preferred counseling style is to meet you where you’re at as I understand that everyone's struggle is unique, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy.

Do you ever feel lost, uncertain, or that existence is exhausting? You may be struggling with your day-to-day experiences, or the impact of past experiences. You don't need to go through this alone.

Finding someone who truly recognizes the unique nature of your struggles can be challenging. I believe that effective therapy must be tailored to the individual as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method of counseling. My approach recognizes that the strength of the therapeutic bond is a prerequisite for meaningful change to occur. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal strife, or trauma, I will take every effort to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am here to work with you in discovering positive and healthy choices to utilize in everyday life. I provide assistance to clients through support, guidance, and encouragement. No matter what you are feeling, or what challenges life has thrown at you, I am committed to guiding you through mutually agreed treatment options and techniques.

Welcome to the practice of a highly experienced therapist who brings warmth and empathy to helping people address their conflicts. A former Social Work Associate Professor at Fordham University, I bring an array of tools to address anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, marital stress and other concerns. A 25 year practitioner of (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, we can address a wide range of issues from Posttraumatic Stress to phobias, social anxiety and performance enhancement. Cognitive-Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches are blended into a style that most people will enjoy and have confidence in.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgemental and safe place where my client can feel open and trust me. From my previous work background I have learned that having a therapist you can not only trust but have a personal connection with is very important. I believe every individual has their own unique experiences, trauma, and issues and I would like to be that safe place for someone to unravel these experiences and together work towards a positive healthier journey. I strive to always validate my client's feelings and have an open empathetic mindset during my sessions which I believe is very important.

Sometimes you may feel stuck, have trouble understanding your emotions, or need some help sorting out your thoughts, but the good news is you do not have to do it alone. Mental health affects every part of your life, and I am here to provide a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free space to explore and express what you are experiencing. It is important to talk about your feelings and experiences, and by examining them together, we can address any concerns regarding anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative thoughts, to name a few. We can then work on building coping skills to help you deal with life’s stressors.

Life presents many tasks that can cause overwhelming feelings of emotional distress. At any age, there will be challenges to test your judgments, problem solving and strengths. Unexpected financial stress, unexpected loss or family discord may cause you to feel tired all the time or anxious. My years of experience have helped people to think differently, feel better about their life and continue to live feeling satisfied. I believe you know what you need but can't find a direction. If you are ready to commit to work for the relief you deserve together we will discuss and work towards your goal for therapy.

My patients are adult individuals and couples with diverse backgrounds and varied needs. They represent every gender, orientation, and identification.

People of all ethnicities, faiths, races, belief systems, and cultures are welcome in my (virtual) practice; all can expect to find respect, genuine caring, palpable empathy, dignity, collaborative treatment. Many concerns can be resolved effectively via virtual/remote treatment, but if you require in-person care, I will help with a referral (for now).
