Adults Therapists in East Islip, NY

Sometimes life throws us off the path we wanted to walk down, but it is never to late to change the direction of our path. It is important to take time to explore our thoughts as they are directly correlated to how we feel on a daily basis. I share with my clients that we need to start by managing your emotions, so they do not manage you. When we learn to have all three; positive thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we begin to see the change that we have been looking for. During our time together my goal is to help you process your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in order for you to walk down the path of your choice.

Many adults feel pressured to have all of the answers when faced with life’s problems. We can find ourselves in a place where coping strategies just aren’t working. Some fear being a burden on others, so they keep their struggles mostly to themselves, despite the pain they’re experiencing.

Imagine if you could feel comfortable sharing your struggles with trusted individuals, instead of keeping them bottled up inside? There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you, which will help you think and feel differently.
