Why go to therapy? We all want to feel accepted, understood, and loved. I help individuals, couples, and families achieve those goals. I also specialize in teens and young adults struggling with a variety of psychological issues. I utilize a holistic approach that sees everything as being part of a bigger system, and careful thought is given to how different parts of the system affect our lives. Using an integrative approach that incorporates attachment theory, EFT, and CBT, I work with clients to resolve struggles from their past and their present in order to heal and take ownership of their lives.

Are you tired of feeling down, stressed, overwhelmed or just not yourself? Do you need help to address your obsessive thoughts, insomnia, or problems with eating, getting things done or your relationship?

Alan Markowitz is a licensed professional counselor who has been in practice for many years.

Therapy can be a beautiful journey of healing, empowerment, and growth, but starting that journey can be difficult and takes a lot of courage. Therapy can be a space to pause and navigate life’s challenges with the support of another. As a therapist, I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is a key component to creating a safe, accepting environment from which you can heal and grow. I prioritize relief from the pain that has brought you to this moment by providing strategies to better manage your symptoms. I also believe that true healing comes from deeper reflection and understanding of our experiences and culture

Since your separation or divorce has your child been angry or acting out? Do you need assistance with co-parenting? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in assisting adults who are experiencing Anxiety, Depression, and/or a Major Life Change to include Divorce or Separation with working through their issues.

We often encounter roadblocks in our lives that make it difficult to move forward. If you are feeling an overwhelming sense of anxiety, struggling with past trauma, having trouble making decisions, or feeling depressed much of the time, I am available to help you. I have had the opportunity to work with all types of clients, helping them bring about change and understanding in their lives. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as EMDR, and feel confident in the effectiveness in these and other treatments to reduce/eliminate many different types of symptoms.

I am a clinical psychologist and I provide individual, couples and group therapy to young adults and adults. I also received my credentialing as a Diplomate in Comprehensive Energy Psychology (DCEP) in 2017 and I have been training and working in the area of Energy Psychology since 2012.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with expertise in and a passion for helping individuals attain greater emotional wellbeing and life satisfaction. Through working together in a safe therapeutic environment, I can help you increase a sense of hope and calm and facilitate gaining new solutions, perspectives, and modes of thinking about areas where you may be feeling stuck. My approach is warm, supportive, engaged, and collaborative.

Why is it so hard to find a therapist who really gets sobriety? I offer Sobriety-Centered Psychotherapy to enhance your ongoing recovery. As a Nationally Certified Psychoanalyst (NCPsyA) with over 25 years in recovery, my unique perspective bridges the gap between complementary treatment approaches... connecting two therapeutic models that often get separated in practice. I’ve seen it in my profession, otherwise skilled clinicians who have little understanding of long-term recovery issues. And in the "rooms" it can sometimes be suggested that outside therapy isn’t really needed, so long as you’re “working a good program.”

Everyone struggles with challenges, some situational and time-limited, some more ongoing. When you're feeling troubled or "stuck," talking to a therapist, a professional who isn't part of your personal circle of family and friends, can offer a safe space to identify what is out of balance for you and to explore effective options. Whether difficulties stem from relationships, stress about work or family issues, or how you feel about yourself, finding an understanding and experienced therapist can make a real and lasting difference. I can help you learn about yourself, your patterns, and your choices.

One of the most powerful experiences that a person can have is sitting across from another human being and feeling understood. I approach therapy with a multicultural lens, cognizant of the fact that every person is an individual that has been shaped by their own cultural backdrop (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spiritual path, etc.). I emphasize the role of the client as the expert on their world; and therapy as a collaboration. Through this collaboration and my understanding of the client as an individual within larger intersecting systems (e.g., family, school), I strive to effect positive therapeutic outcomes.

People are in different stages in life and have their own circumstances. I want to help people who can identify that they may need some support with their mental health or want to start a journey to self understanding. In addition to people who are self initiated, I am familiar with people who struggle with many diagnoses, to name a few; anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder.

Psychology for YOU. If you are experiencing a problem or something troubles you in your mind, this is the moment to address it. The opportunity for you to express yourself and receive professional attention is in your hands now. If we work together we can reach your goals. “Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” ― Roy T. Bennett
