Therapists in Bethpage, NY

When confronted with unforeseen challenges, we often do not know how to approach them and feel overwhelmed in the process. These challenges or experiences could be internal, interpersonal, environmental, or all the above. At NCS, we provide counseling services to help our clients process difficult emotions, provide coping skills, and collaborate to create the life path they desire.

I am a mental health counselor with a limited permit, working under the supervision of Dr. Sheila Chiffriller, a licensed psychologist. I provide psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients, specializing in survivors of trauma, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, anger, family issues, couples' issues, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, grief and bereavement. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation, intersectional justice, harm reduction, and embodiment and holds the position that social oppressions and systemic problems operate as barriers to wellness.

My name is Teresa Maguire, and I have been a psychotherapist (LCSW-R) for 25 years. I work primarily with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, gender identity concerns, relationship problems, and LGBTQ issues. I work mainly from a psychodynamic and relational model, utilizing Attachment-based, Eclectic, Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, and Trauma Focused therapies. I believe those therapeutic relationships are the most important vehicle for facilitating positive change and growth.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and needs to be a good fit for both the client and therapist in order for meaningful work to take place. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and eclectic – but most of all, personalized to the individual client’s needs. I approach my clients from a non-judgmental standpoint and aim to make each one feel comfortable and safe, as therapy is often the one space a person has that is truly only for them. My goal is to create an environment where my client feels seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will identify problems, create goals, cultivate understanding, and move towards healing.

Some people come to therapy to process trauma. Some people have stressful jobs, difficulties in school, or other life challenges and want to unlock coping skills. Some people are worried or sad or both and do not know why or how to feel better. As a licensed clinical social worker, I use my clinical experience and training to guide you in your self-exploration. I believe that people deserve to enjoy life and to suffer less. I can provide you with an objective professional perspective and I will listen, empower, and support you on your journey.

Have you been struggling with how you're feeling and seeing it affect your wellness, your relationships, or your life?

Letting someone in can be scary but given the privilege, I would love to be able to walk with you in your journey towards personal healing. Being provided with a safe, non-judgemental space to be comfortable and vulnerable, what you're able to do will be beautiful.

As a dual-trained cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, I take a holistic approach to treatment focusing on maximizing mental health and well-being for each individual, rather than focusing on “illness”.

What do we do when everything in our world, and the world around us, no longer feels safe and secure? Who do we turn to when our very foundation has been rocked? There are times in our lives when we face challenges. You do not have to struggle every day! You do not have to do it alone!

You aim for success and often achieve it! But somehow an empty feeling sometimes arises and the healthier, inner, emotional life you value feels just out of reach. Perhaps at times the relationships you hold dear are affected in ways you don't intend. Some things seem out of alignment for you despite the many things you do right, you're uncertain how to attain the inner well-being you crave and believe in. Perhaps a sense of purposelessness haunts you or you yearn for greater self-understanding, or the ability to feel more at ease within yourself. Give yourself the opportunity to be more fully heard on your thoughts and concerns.

I am culturally aware and sensitive to the unique backgrounds, customs, and worldviews of my clients.

Many of us suffer on a daily basis be it from stress, depression, anxiety, loss, or childhood trauma. Or you could be suffering with emotional pain due to being stuck in negative self patterns. Unfortunately that suffering leads to problems, conflicts or disruption in daily life, or at work with friends and family.

“Who am I, really? Why do I keep making the same mistakes? Why do I feel haunted by my past?" Did you know that one of the most courageous things an individual can do, is to take the step towards better self understanding & processing their experiences? Yes, it’s challenging to embrace change, and face the discomfort that comes with personal growth. It’s okay. It’s totally normal to be scared of the unknown. But that well-meaning inner voice may lead you towards unnecessary struggles, self-doubts, trust issues, pressure, & away from self-compassion, staying in the present and forming meaningful connections. There's hope though!
