Therapists in Bellport, NY

I'm not your average trauma therapist. Hi, I'm Staci and I'm a modern psychotherapist for post-grad "Quarter-Life" New Yorkers. Triggering events and major life transitions you're facing are leading you to feel stuck, lost, isolated, worried and stressed AF. I help you FINALLY get a grip on your anxiety so you can unlock your full potential. My east-meets-west mind-body approach is modern, relatable, collaborative. I meet you where YOU are and work with you from here to create a safe, sacred space for you to reflect on your strengths and challenges, gain insight, and move towards meaningful and lasting change.

Do you want to overcome depression or anxiety and feel confident? Are you struggling with relationships? Do you find yourself getting angry quickly? Sometimes life transitions get difficult to manage. I have been helping people with these problems for 10 years and we can work collaboratively and holistically. We will focus on physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life. We will figure out your best qualities and strengths, your personal resources and virtues to realize your true potential that will help you heal.

While trained in multiple therapy modes, I focus on collaborative, interactive cognitive work to start and retain a deep change from negative thinking to clarity. What is in need of change, and why? What are steps that can create energy, courage, growth- without disruption? What is the right pace of change and are we on target? I see therapy as emotional "detective work" whose aim is freedom and satisfaction. Discovering possibilities and practicing changes, step by step, leads on to emotional recovery- and freedom, whether from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, low self-esteem, addiction, or underemployment.

As your therapist my job is to support, empower and accompany you on your journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. My practice is deeply rooted in providing affirming care, and I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals who have faced a wide range of traumatic experiences within their communities, relationships and families, often feeling stuck and overwhelmed in their lives. At the same time my practice emphasizes inclusivity for all people regardless of sexuality. I strive to create an environment where everyone's unique experiences are valued and respected.

Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals. You may be feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety that won’t allow you to move forward and you just can’t seem to get out of your own head. Perhaps you feel ready to take the steps to improve your quality of life, but you don’t know where to start. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can openly discuss any obstacles and recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I now offer Telemental health sessions using a confidential computer platform so you can be in the comfort of your own home.

I offer psychotherapy in many areas, including LGBTQIA+ individuals working on strengthening identity, Latinx individuals and couples, immigrants adjusting to living in NYC, adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity concerns, trauma, grief and bereavement, and relationship and intimacy concerns.

*Email only to join waitlist* You are more than your symptoms, you are a person who is seeking fulfilment. I am a psychotherapist, complex trauma specialist and Certified EMDR practitioner. I strive to provide clients with the best possible therapeutic care through understanding each person in the context of their own unique culture, values and life experiences. I use multiple integrative healing techniques based on the client's individual needs. My doctoral research at NYU has enriched my understanding of attachment injury acquired through adverse childhood events and the treatment of complex layered trauma in adulthood.

I specialize in psychotherapy for presenting clinical issues such as anxiety and depression which may result from stresses throughout the lifespan. . As a seasoned professional, I am experienced with the full range of human concerns, and am a down-to-earth, active, engaged therapist. My mission is to help others forward in their lives, and quickly identify their "stuck points" which may be rooted in earlier life trauma.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment"~ Emerson. It is often our own insecurities that prevent us from achieving our optimal potential. I believe we all have an inherent capacity for change and growth. Within the collaborative therapeutic space, clients can begin their journey of self-discovery and emotional healing as they work to overcome personal obstacles. My practice is demographically diverse with treatment tailored to the uniqueness of the individual and sensitive to issues of culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation/identity, disability, religion/spirituality, socioeconomic status and presenting condition.

My lens in psychotherapy is informed by the principle of organicity; that every person has within them tremendous wisdom and the ability to heal. I view psychotherapy as a journey to assist the client in clearing the boundaries to their own unique healing path. I work with many different evidence based modalities including IFS, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which provide many different lenses and approaches to working with a variety of presenting problems. My primary focus is on Trauma, both upper case "T" and lower case "t" as well as addictions- with males from 12 to adulthood. Looking forward to crossing paths soon!

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.
