Therapists in Bohemia, NY

When you can't always control what is happening, you can learn to control the way you respond. Being kind to your mind is to learn to accept and manage emotions. You deserve a safe space to flourish and prioritize your well-being. I can provide that for you!

I focus on helping navigate the wild twists and turns of life, whether it's healing the caverns of complex trauma, revisiting childhood shenanigans, or riding the ADHD rollercoaster of executive dysfunction. We will use a variety of tools on our journey, including ACT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and Imagery Rehearsal Therapy. Don't worry, though – I promise to keep the jargon to a minimum and sprinkle in a healthy dose of humor along the way.

Perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make is the decision to see a therapist. I understand how personal this is for you. The connection you make with the therapist that you choose is equally as important as taking that first step. That is why I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

People come to see me when they are experiencing anxiety, aging-related issues (change at home in accepting help or moving into an assisted living facility, multiple medical conditions, limited mobility, or upcoming retirement), and daily stress. Sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Especially when life takes some unexpected turns. To me, it is important that you never feel judged, no matter how your feelings may feel to you. Together we can find a way to improve your quality of life, get you back on track, or discover a new narrative. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process.

Sometimes there is a concrete event or change we can point to as the cause for increased anxiety, depressed mood or relationship conflicts, but other times we just feel “off” and unsure of how to get back to our sense of control or centeredness. For many people, they are living in “survival mode” – on a constant hamster-wheel trying to stay productive & avoid unpleasant feelings OR in total shutdown. However, over time that wears us down, and we need a little unbiased support to work through our inner struggles or past injuries that prevent us from living a life of contentment.

Do you find yourself losing all hope, feeling more overwhelmed possibly even defeated taking on the many forms of life stressors? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and/or problems in your relationships with others, that are interfering or impacting your life in negative ways? Has this possibly brought on the misuse of Alcohol? If you can identify or relate to any of these and have decided to do something about it, you have come to the right place! Together we can learn to better understand your situations and what you can do about it. Let's restore your hope & discover your strengths to overcome the obstacles.

When you find the right therapist, therapy can be a unique and rewarding experience. It can allow you to explore things that occurred in your life, and better understand how they are presently impacting you. It can also help you learn how to change patterns so that moving forward you can live a more fulfilling life. I am a therapist that will listen to your needs, meet you where you are at, and work with you in an individualized way to make progress toward your personal goals.

Life can get a little bit hectic and sometimes we lose ourselves in the mix. Losing ourselves can look like a loss of energy, not knowing what we enjoy or not, lack of boundaries, taking care of everyone around us but ourselves and avoiding others while also avoiding alone time with ourselves. Sound familiar? If yes, then let’s find YOU! Your authentic self sets boundaries, shows confidence, knows what you want and don’t want, and has some greater fulfillment with a life purpose. The authentic you is out there, so let’s start looking.

No one should have to face life’s difficulties alone. My role is to guide, educate and support my clients to function more effectively in their lives. The foundation of my clinical practice is human connection and providing each client with a non-judgmental, safe and understanding place to be authentically vulnerable. I utilize an eclectic style, adjusting the therapeutic approach to best meet my client’s needs. I pull heavily from the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and other emotionally focused approaches.

Beginning therapy, especially for the first time, can feel like an intimidating task. I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support and there is no shame in that, only strength. No matter what the presenting issue(s) is, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what brought you here, what you need out of therapy and what your ultimate goal is. I view the mind and body as one and in order to best care for ourselves, we need to nurture and understand both. Often times, our environment or situations happening in our life can derail this and that's where therapy can provide a consistency.

My name is Amber Hall, MHC-LP. I’ve found my most valuable learning to come from a continued pursuit of knowledge and personalized path that has led me to interact with a multitude of cultures, beliefs, and individuals as well as a connection with nature. I aspire to take the knowledge and experiences gained throughout life to show compassion and help others with their personalized path. No matter where you are starting from transformation is possible. Most of us judge ourselves more harshly than others and we perceive that everyone else has it figured out when the reality is they probably do not because being a human is difficult.
