Alzheimer's Therapists in Narrowsburg, NY

Why do people seek therapy? Usually it's because they're feeling dissatisfied, anxious, or depressed--and it's becoming difficult to cope. Do you feel stuck in a relationship or work situation? Struggling with life transitions: marriage, divorce, pregnancy/infertility, parenting, career change, becoming an in-law, serious illness, aging parents? If you'd like to change your life, I can help you understand what's getting in the way. Working together in a safe, nonjudgmental space, we can help you find the solutions you're seeking.

Dr. Heimberg takes the time to get to the root of the problem through comprehensive neuropsychological or psychological assessment to assess for a wide range of psychological and medical conditions. Our patient's find comfort in receiving a thorough diagnostic evaluation to assess for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, a specific learning disorder, neuropsychological sequelau of complex medical conditions or treatment, traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and neurodegenerative conditions (alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, etc.).

If you feel stuck, limited, habitually repeating unwanted behaviors; caught up in negative thoughts/feelings; have experienced trauma and its long lasting effects, I offer you a gentle, compassionate, safe space as well as tools and skills to grow, change and heal. If you are blocked or lacking in passion, I will help you develop resources and pathways to a more joyous and fulfilling life. My work with couples/families focuses on improving communication, connection, problem solving; growing conscious, loving relationships. If you are wanting to embrace/embody graceful aging, let's help you live your most joyful, vital life.

As a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, in clinical practice for 35+ years, I deal with issues of depression, anxiety, relationship and social life problems, aging, creative blocks, marital conflicts, parenting, divorce, child and school problems, loss, adoption, spousal and/or family member's dementia, etc... My practice includes adults of all ages -- from the young to the elderly. My clinical experience includes people from varying backgrounds and fields -- including the creative arts, law, media, education adults of all ages either in transition, or returning to school, as well as those who are stay-at-home mothers or fathers.

Feeling down, overwhelmed or anxious? Having trouble coping with life's stressors? You've come to the right place. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and my goal is to help you make positive changes that will improve your overall functioning and get you to live a fuller and healthier life. In our meetings, I will teach you skills and strategies specific to improving mood, reducing or eliminating problematic behaviors and modifying negative thinking.

I believe that each person can live life to the fullest! Therapy can help a person remove those obstacles which prevent one from doing just that!

To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use.

Have you ever felt like there were 50 tabs open in your mind and you couldn't figure out which one was playing the music? Have you ever wanted to soundboard ideas, process past memories and plan for the future with clarity and confidence? See me as a guide, facilitating your journey to the next phase of you, whether it be in your healing, navigating life transitions, grief, or starting a new venture. I am here as an unbiased support to offer a space of rest. Come as you are, wherever you are, and take a moment for yourself to remember your humanity.

Each person's life story is unique. I hope to help you explore the chapters of your life story that you would like to understand better and improve. These subtle changes can enhance your day to day life today. The first step is recognizing that you want to make changes and then having the courage to do so. I work collaboratively with you or your child to help you explore what can be done to make changes and relieve some of the stressors. As an expert working with the Latinex and the Orthodox Jewish population, I understand the intersection of cultural identity and mental health.

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. My approach is to help you identify your strengths and help you utilize them to achieve greater harmony in your day to day interactions. I have over 20 years of experience, working side by side with clients, dealing with a multitude of issues that create challenges and obstacles that can be avoidable or reduced.

Whether you are struggling to find meaning in your life after dealing with the loss of a loved one, failing health, life changes or one of your parents, spouse or yourself has Alzheimer's or another dementing illness I am here to help you. Your first step is a phone call away. I will travel to your home. My clients are not necessarily "artists" and there is no need to be afraid of using art materials. Art therapy uses art materials to help you or your loved one in ways that words alone cannot. It is about the process, not the product!

My goal in working with you is to provide a safe/non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing the issues that bother you. Life has a way of bringing us challenges that we are not always prepared for. It might be related to a medical condition, issues with family, or the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it is related to trying to be comfortable in the life we have built for ourselves and the expectations of the community we live in. We will work together to identify your personal goals and strengths as you develop a plan to manage these life issues.

Life's greatest challenges usually come during times of transition and change. It's when we are forced to accept and adapt a new way of thinking and/or living that we find ourselves unraveling and losing all sense of control of what we once knew...or thought we knew. I have spent the greater part of my career working with individuals who live with various neurological conditions such as Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Neuropathy and many others. I have helped not only the person living with the disease, but their care giver/s as well. I work with adults and seniors predominately.

Chronic or situational depression and/or anxiety can cause significant negative changes to your quality of life. Your symptoms can negatively impact your relationships, your work productivity and your health. If you're not feeling 'like yourself,' noticing changes in your sleep/appetite, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or just going through difficult changes in your life, having someone to talk to can help. Usually, talking things through, practicing small lifestyle changes, learning a few coping tips, and doing some problem solving together can make all the difference.

We strive to address your issues, meet your needs and work with you to meet your goals. We have over 15 years of experience treating ADHD/ADD, Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Psychosis, Dementia, and other related conditions.. Visits are conducted in person or by video. We have interpreters for most languages and ASL available. We want you to feel that you are being heard, that your concerns are being addressed, and that you are treated appropriately.

Have you felt stressed, anxious, grief stricken, panicky, or depressed? Are relationships causing you conflict and it's as if no one understands you? You have made the first step to bettering yourself and I appreciate you. I am here to provide my experience, training and empathic approach to give you the tools to overcome your challenges. We will do this together. My almost 2 decades of being a psychotherapist has taught me great patience, compassion, empathy and understanding of our unique situations. I am looking forward to helping you overcome your difficulties in life and spreading your wings of emotional and inner freedom!
