Therapists in Albertson, NY

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents who may be struggling with school issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral and family issues, and autism spectrum disorders.

I focus on your child, recognize their strengths, and develop tools to become their own therapist by learning how to deal with challenges. Clients often feel better early on in treatment.

It's not just you. Countless people are feeling lost, unmoored, and stuck in old patterns, and the usual/traditional "how does that make you feel?" therapy can sometimes feel lacking. With over 8 years in the mental health field, both as a Mental Health Counselor and Psychologist, I recognize that mental health is so much more than what is happening internally. My work is rooted in the belief that mental health cannot be addressed in isolation from other aspects of your life, such as your relationships, health, community, and broader social issues and systems. Tackling all this alone can feel so very daunting.

Hi - Margaret Doherty here! Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

While everyone’s journey through life is unique, we ultimately all want the same thing…We ALL want to be happy. Unfortunately, happiness doesn't always come easily. Our journey is full of challenges that we have to overcome in order to get back to being happy. We experience sadness and loss. We fall completely in love only to suffer heart break. Some of us go through traumatic events such as combat or a devastating accident. These situations and many more cause us to develop feelings of fear, sadness and frustration which we do our best to manage, but typically do so in an unhealthy and maladapted way.

I am a clinical social work therapist with the experience in outpatient mental health counseling. I work with adults from different walks of life, and diverse backgrounds. These patients might struggle with various diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress disorder, with grief and chronic pain, and with a history of trauma and oppression. They might face situational stress due to job, family and relationship issues or life-stage transitions.

Over the course of your life, you may experience a change in your thinking, mood, or feeling, and behavior could be affected. It helps that we determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Together we will work through those struggles to live a happier and healthier life. As a therapist, with several years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and those who suffer a severe mental health illness, I am well versed in several counseling techniques and have a compassionate approachable demeanor.

We all want better relationships and struggle to understand each other.

You have abilities and confidence in yourself and we take the time to grow into that space where you want to be.

Have you ever wondered why you think, feel, and act in the ways that you do? Are you interested in developing a greater understanding of yourself and learning strategies to help you feel better? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, you’re in the right place. Being curious about ourselves and others is a central focus of therapy. In gaining greater understanding and compassion for ourselves we can change our patterns of thinking, reduce distressing emotions, and interact in healthier ways with the world around us.

In a city where the pace never slows down, the idea of finding a therapist who actually "fits" what you're hoping for can feel discouraging. I specialize in working with non-stop, high-achieving, high-demand professionals in their early 20s to mid 40s who feel stuck in life due to various mental health struggles and/or struggle to slow down. My diverse clinical experience both in and out of the forensic psychology field over the past 10+ years has allowed me to quickly assess what treatment approach(es) will most benefit each client.

In life, we encounter many situations that seem to push us to our limits, or beyond. Some of these arise from within, others, from our surroundings. When these situations become intolerable, and nothing we’ve tried has worked, frustration, or even despair, may set in. At this point, we can give in or give up, or we can seek help and renewed hope. Whether you have been struggling mightily and at length, or mildly and briefly, I would be honored to meet you, to get to know you, to hear about what you’ve been going through, and to join with you in finding ways to make things better.
