Taking the first step to make changes in your life is the beginning of a new path to enhancing your well-being. Are you stressed, anxious, experiencing trauma, a recent loss or developing an eating disorder or depression? I have helped numerous individuals, including children, teens, for more than 30 years to learn effective coping strategies and become more resilient in the face of life's challenges.

I am a NYS Licensed Psychologist who has been working with children, adolescents, and young adults for over 10 years. I provide supportive Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in the Huntington area for children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing a wide range of social, emotional, or behavioral concerns. I have worked within the school system for the majority of my career and am quick to work with families and the school system to develop plans that help my clients transition the skills they develop in therapy into their real world.

Is your child, adolescent, teen or young adult experiencing emotional difficulties that are affecting daily life? Is your child struggling with grief, identity, school performance stress, anxiety and/or past trauma? Life can be difficult for children and teens who are trying to make sense of the world while also building their own identities. With supportive counseling children and teens can gain the confidence needed to thrive into their next life transition and demonstrate ability to effectively cope with what life throws in their direction.

Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Life presents with numerous challenges. As children, teens, and young adults are learning about themselves and the world, seeking support to navigate life's stressors can assist in creating a happy and fulfilling life. I utilize an empathetic and active therapeutic approach. I work with client's to identify their core values and establish meaningful life goals. We will discuss your life events while generating thought and behavioral strategies to cope with current and future life stressors.

I work with various clients in order to improve their lifestyle, to enhance their "psychological vitality". I approach each client with respect and sensitivity, and view myself as working alongside each individual towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative patterns.

I have worked as a Psychotherapist/Psychoanalyst for almost 45 years. My work is based on understanding our behavior and I communicate that to the person or couple I am working with. I am actively engaged and use a variety of approaches, depending on the individual or situation. I also have had years of experience as a School Social Worker with the NYC school system, working with students who have academic, emotional, and or behavioral issues. I prefer working with parents on how to better understand and adjust to who their children are. I also specialize in working with couples focusing on awareness of issues of their disharmony.

People often say, I don't know why I do that, referring to an unfavorable behavior. This is evidence of our unconscious. We are all products of our earliest emotional conditioning. That is fine, if your parents were wonderful, loving, and understanding. For the majority of people, there was some form of negligence and/or dysfunction that occurred due to the complexities of child rearing. We tend to push away what is good for us and seek what is familiar. Unconsciously, we will repeat negative relationship patterns unless addressed. We all are deserving and able to be the best version of ourselves.

I treat people who are suffering because of neglect, abuse or trauma and struggling with emotional regulation, substance abuse or addiction, self injury, eating disorders and phobias. I can facilitate use of spirituality and help people connect to meaning in their lives. I use EMDR, Brain Spotting and Heart Centered Hypnotherapy to get to deeply rooted issues for a complete resolution of traumatic history. I have ways to undiagnosed chronic pain, TMJ, migraines and other head pain. Crime Victims can receive therapy from me free of charge if they go through OVS -NYS Office of Victim Services.

Dr. Kristy Angen is a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Creative Arts Therapist (art therapy). Across her training at Pratt Institute and Pace University, she completed her training working with children, adolescents and adults with histories of complex trauma, behavioral challenges, and psychopathology.

We take the greatest pride in ensuring that no individual is left without access to care by always responding to new patient inquiries immediately and accommodating the financial needs of our clients.  The well-being of our clients and the individuals of the communities we serve are our top priority.  No person should have to be without a supportive professional when they find themselves in a situation where reaching out for help is of the utmost importance.

20+ years of professional experience in the treatment of adults and adolescents. Specializing in the treatment of Eating Disorders, Addictions and Mood Disorders. Individual, couple and group treatment.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, which means I use a combination of humanistic, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based /contemplative approaches, stress management, and insight oriented techniques-depending on the needs of the client. I understand how critical the relationship between client and therapist is to the success of the therapeutic experience. As such, my hope always is to provide a warm, empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment-one in which my clients will feel safe and encouraged to build trust and work towards self-empowerment. To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach.

Unpredictable events and challenges occur for everyone in life and can leave us with difficult feelings that linger. Sometimes in life, events or challenges don't even need to occur for us to feel these emotions. Regardless, having a non-judgmental and safe environment to confide in someone for guidance and support is something we all need at one time or another.
