Intervention Therapists in Bohemia, NY

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am here to work with you in discovering positive and healthy choices to utilize in everyday life. I provide assistance to clients through support, guidance, and encouragement. No matter what you are feeling, or what challenges life has thrown at you, I am committed to guiding you through mutually agreed treatment options and techniques.

All of us can become overwhelmed by life's demands, work responsibilities and relationship challenges. Struggles may seem to resolve over time but yet the same conflicts keep popping up again and again. Attempts to resolve or neutralize their impact, stretch our limits and move boundaries and abandon goals; ultimately losing sight of who we are. I encourage you to take a risk: give yourself permission and time to sort through your thoughts and feelings so you can restore energy and clarity to re-assess personal needs and goals.

Have you ever wished that you could talk with someone about your deepest troubles and worries without being judged? Do you want to have someone who can help you untangle your emotions while feeling safe and accepted at the same time? Do you feel lost in a world where everyone else "has it together?" I assure you that everyone at some point in their lives would benefit from therapy. No issue is too big or too small- if something has been on your mind and you cannot resolve it no matter how hard you try, you've come to the right place.

It is particularly important for one to feel connected with and deeply understood by the psychologist that they choose. My approach to therapy is welcoming, empathetic, collaborative, and draws upon years of experience gained working in outpatient settings and schools. I have extensive experience and training using cognitive-behavioral techniques in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have specialized training in crisis-intervention, individual therapy, family therapy, play-therapy, and in conducting assessments.

I have been a certified social worker for twenty eight years. I provide therapy to adolescents and adults in individual, couple therapy and family sessions. As a therapist I often address clients with Major Depression, family stress, anxiety issues or substance abuse addiction. I address these issues on phone sessions or therapy face to face sessions. It is imperative for a therapist to be aware of various symptoms and needs for people to make goals to address these concerns actively.

I have been working with individuals who experience family conflicts, behavioral issues, parenting concerns, substance use, infertility issues, and more, for the past 10 years. I previously worked for Child Protective Services for 8 years and have knowledge of child abuse and neglect concerns, court matters, and custody issues. I worked with an intensive family program (HCBS Waiver) that focused on youths with severe emotional and behavioral issues for 5 years. I also have a Masters Degree in School Counseling, which has given me vast knowledge in CSE proceedings, educational laws, and academic requirements.

In life, we all have times where we think to ourselves in a moment of struggle, "I don't know what to do." Working through these experiences can be confusing, stressful and even sometimes debilitating. My goal is to help you figure out how these life stressors can become more manageable. My specialties include anxiety, depression, parenting, life transitions, mindfulness techniques, anger management,Autisum, ADHD, mood disorders, adults with traumatic brain injuries, and behavior modification. Through my experiences as a social work professional for over a decade,I have worked with mostly teens and adults, in many areas of practice.

Many of my clients seek assistance in working on their relationships, identity, sense of self, life transitions, depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, decision-making and overall emotional well-being. I have an extensive background working with individuals from many cultures and life experiences.

Perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make is the decision to see a therapist. I understand how personal this is for you. The connection you make with the therapist that you choose is equally as important as taking that first step. That is why I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

We are a team of licensed clinical Psychotherapists and Mental Health Counselors. We provide individual psychotherapy, couples, family, and group counseling. Our goal is to provide the most effective success for all clients. We use a client-centered, cognitive behavior approach, in concert with a wide range of treatment modalities. This provides each client with a supportive environment for the exploration of feelings and self-awareness. In doing so, they are able to identify their strengths and bolster their defenses when facing a variety of challenges.

We all face different challenges and obstacles in our lives - stress, separation, divorce, health, relationship, death, financial, problems on the job and at school, childhood sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, poor academic performance and many others. We feel that we are strong enough to handle things, yet we can't. Life no longer feels worthwhile. Learn new ways to effectively deal with the challenges in your life that can give you back something priceless - the ability to enjoy your life.

My ideal client is a person who wants to be empowered to change their life through counseling and education. The issues I am best suited to treat are addictions, codependency, stress management, self esteem, and difficult life transitions.
