Therapists in Massapequa, NY

I am a warm and inviting therapist that has created a sacred space with your healing in mind. I offer my clients the elements that I find most valuable in any therapeutic relationship; support, encouragement, empathic listening, non-judgement, interaction, collaboration, and trust. With a varied toolbox and skill set that we can draw upon, I enjoy blending evidence based practices with more creative approaches when called for. Some clients are open to including mind/ body based practices in their work with me while others may pursue a more traditional route. Ultimately, we will work collaboratively on the issues you are facing.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore life’s many challenges. I work from a non-judgemental, affirming, collaborative, trauma-informed, and attachment based lens. I have experience working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, love addiction, co-dependency, personality disorders, relationship issues, survivors of abusive relationships/trauma bonds, anger, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, PTSD, and complex PTSD. I believe everyone is unique...therefore, my style is to customize the therapeutic process for each individual.

Emotions can be overwhelming, in order to become more productive and positive in life we need to manage them. Therapy allows my clients to feel in control of their destiny, to regain vitality and a sense of purpose. As they work through difficult experiences, they will obtain a more balanced life with an attitude of "self-acceptance" and "flexibility". They feel revitalized and strengthened to face life's difficult situations. I also work with couples and adolescents.My clients can use their bodies and minds in a more effective coordinated way by learning techniques of relaxation and mental focus.

I believe that the essence of therapy is to provide the tools necessary to make changes that can help someone improve their life or the lives of those around them. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, there are always effective strategies. I provide a safe and comfortable setting to facilitate growth and self awareness. I teach coping skills that will lead to lasting independence. In addition, I urge my clients over time to become introspective, explore their actions, and to eradicate unhealthy behavioral patterns.

I am a Mental Health Counselor with a limited permit working under the supervision of licensed psychologist, Dr. Sheila Chiffriller, at Psychological Counseling with Compassion. Counseling is a collaborative process that works towards change by exploring your emotions, thoughts, values, the mind-body connection, and behavior patterns.
