Therapists in East Setauket, NY

Are you having difficulty separating your training and work (being "on the job" ) from your home life? Is your work spilling into your personal life? Are you using more alcohol than you think you should? Are some of these things causing problems with promotions and relationships? Do you have nightmares or flashbacks related to previous trauma from the job or the field? Having over 15 years in trauma based therapy I have worked with Military, Police, Probation and Parole officers relating specifically to Trauma on the Job. Let me help you to make your home life and relationships better while overcoming issues related to trauma

Let’s walk through the beach, the woods. Take a sip of tea with fresh mint, and enter a world of imagination, creativity, become one with the river, no judgment, safety, healing, serenity, grounding, love, solace, and always meeting you where you’re at. I take a holistic approach and focus on the mind body connection. I believe guided imagery meditation, motivational interviewing, dbt, creativity, psychodynamic, trauma informed care, emdr, and person centered approaches are ideal. I prefer to assist anyone who has felt demoralized or ostracized because of who they are. I believe we can impact the world together one smile at a time.

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.

Life is tough and can sometimes get overwhelming. Perhaps you are rethinking your job, your relationship or other aspects of life. Maybe frustration is playing a bigger role in your life than you’d prefer. Don't ignore your feelings. It may be that a shift is taking place inside you telling you that you're ready for something different. If you are ready to create change and take action, let's work together!

Searching for a therapist can often feel overwhelming when you already feel sad, hopeless or lost. It takes courage to consider that something in your life is not working, that you could use help. Therapy allows you to get acquainted with yourself and the world you inhabit in a new way. Through this expanded field of view, you are better equipped to make choices that will help you achieve. During our time together, I will walk beside you as we navigate the newness around us. We will work on various techniques and learn new skills to help you cope with the vast and sudden changes.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or self-esteem related issues? Is this affecting your ability to cope with life stressors such as work, school, or relationships? Navigating these emotions alone can often be frustrating, confusing, or frightening. Exploring new coping skills can assist in mitigating the symptoms that may be standing in your way of your goals.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

As we move along our journey on the road of life, we sometimes encounter bends in the road that impact us in difficult ways. My goal as a helper, is to guide and support you through these moments, empowering you to make the best decisions to support your serenity, happiness and life fulfillment in a safe, secure setting. My office is an environment of non-judgment, where your issues whether heavy or light can begin the process of transformation into solution and healing.

Sometimes life can feel like a rollercoaster as we go through ups and downs. During these times it can be difficult to reach out for help as intrusive thoughts lead us to feel alone, anxious, sad, or afraid. We will work together to explore these thoughts and feelings as well as set and climb towards goals at your pace.

What if you could walk around this planet with a deep sense (knowing) that everything about you, just as you are, is ok? Truly just fine? You can. Or maybe you're feeling stuck, needing help to galvanize your courage to make a change, to dare to live your very best life? A warm and supportive relationship with the right therapist will help to re-engage and energize your own existing internal resources, the parts of you that are already confident, calm, creative, courageous and compassionate. We can do this work together.

When you determine that you should seek counseling services I keep in mind that each individual is different biologically, psychologically, sociologically and economically. I also understand that receiving a diagnosis will have an impact on you, your family, friends, lifestyle and social situation. As a counselor I am aware that left untreated many disorders can escalate and in some cases as in substance abuse cause chemical changes in the brain, with mental disorders left untreated can have a negative impact on your life.
