Therapists in Northport, NY

Do you ever feel like something is missing? Like there is a void that nothing seems to fill? Ever feel bound or trapped by the failures of your past? The regrets of your mistakes? The pressure and weight of depression, anxiety, family strain, and stress ever wear you down and wear you out? Well I believe there is an answer and it is found in wholeness! It is found in the truth of who you are! The unity of the family system. The healing from the past. The acceptance of the present. The hope of the future.

My passion is working with individuals struggling with everyday issues that challenge each of us at different stages of life. I take an experiential approach with my clients, which is "learning through reflection on doing". I relate to my clients in an emotional and authentic way by providing real-life guidance and direction for individuals to assess and redirect their relationships and goals. For 20 years, I have had a private clinical practice. My post-graduate education has focused on marriage, post-traumatic stress, gender identification, abandonment, trauma, adult-children of alcoholics, women's issues, divorce adjustment, grief and phobias.

The Corona Virus has wreaked havoc on our lives. While we have come a long way from the early days of the pandemic, fears of contracting the virus are still present.

It's as if you don't know how to live; as if others got the instruction book on how to live life but not you. You're searching for what you really want and need, self-understanding, for what makes you feel like something is wrong or missing, but you're not sure what. Maybe you have been searching for a while, read tons of self help books, have tried different ways to figure things out, but nothing seems to stick. You're not sure if anyone or anything can help, but you want to be at ease with yourself and live!

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

Healing from a substance use disorder is not about control, but about learning to adapt and move forward with your life as you repair your relationships and find balance in sobriety. In my time as a clinician, I have acquired extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and families with co-occurring disorders in substance abuse residential and outpatient treatment programs. I know that everyone’s recovery process is unique. At Mountainside Huntington, I develop individual treatment plans for each client, using a variety of clinical and holistic therapies tailored to their needs.

While navigating life’s obstacles, it is such an important, but also challenging first step to reach out for support. I provide a non-judgmental space to help process your emotions and regain control to create positive life changes.

I believe all people deserve and deeply yearn to be seen, heard, and valued for who they authentically are, and it can be quite a journey to get there. I provide therapy services to adults and adolescents of all gender identities and sexual orientations facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, sexuality, self-harm, and trauma. I am dedicated to helping my clients build more robust, fulfilling relationships, heal from traumatic experiences, and connect to what brings them pleasure and calm. Let's co-create the space you need to explore and heal.

Nelson Lacy Group offers Individual and Couples Psychotherapy services as well as Supervision for trained professionals. We are psychodynamic and psychoanalytically trained and specialize in working with those having a difficult time with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions and just feeling "stuck."

Why do people seek help? I think people in great pain have somehow lost their ability to navigate in the world. Depression, anxiety, and fear renders a person helpless and one cannot summon their old ways of being. Recent trauma or unresolved issues can suddenly alienate a person from themselves. Often people are wrestling with unexamined fears or emotions that have long been dissociated. In the safety of the therapeutic space, the client can confront that which is most difficult with the aim of once again feeling whole, thus able to pursue, with energy and pleasure, their work and relationships.

As a Licensed, Board Certified Art Therapist and Trauma Professional, I am here to help you navigate internal and external conflicts and teach you the skills needed to overcome big and small challenges.

Seeking therapy takes courage, especially during times when we are not at our best, whether that be due to mental health struggles, feeling burned out, or issues impacting important areas of our lives.

Together, we can work to resolve challenges, build on strengths, and provide you with insight and coping skills to help resolve trauma that continues to show up in your everyday life.
