Therapists in East Setauket, NY

Welcome! If you're feeling a bit stuck in life or a relationship or you just need guidance to boost motivation for your personal and professional goals, I'm here to help you. If you're looking for a non-judgmental space to address your past traumas or darkest wounds, we will work together to make sure you feel seen and heard. I know healing can be challenging but the rewards are truly worth it. Many of us tend to numb or distract ourselves but there are healthier options out there. Let's explore these options together and create a safe space where you can grow.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grappling with grief, or carrying the weight of loneliness, guilt, or shame, know that you're not alone. Especially if you identify as Queer and/or BI/POC, navigating these emotions within cultural and familial dynamics can feel like an uphill journey. But you don't have to climb that mountain by yourself. I'm here to offer a warm and compassionate space to feel your emotions without fear or judgment, process attachment and trauma experiences, and uncover patterns rooted in childhood.

It can feel daunting to begin therapy. You may know you are struggling with your relationships, work, or personal fulfillment yet it can feel difficult to seek help.

I utilize eclectic approaches including psychodynamic, relational, existential, and attachment-based theories. You can learn more about my practice at www.hattabtherapy.com

It just won't stop. Life feels like a constant fight to stay above water. The sadness, the pain, the monotony of it all, is dragging you down. It's a constant fight against depression, but you aren't sure why. Once upon a time, you felt the possibility of happiness and joy, but now it's all about going through the motions, fighting against the sadness. And it's getting harder and harder to fake it. You're starting to wonder about the meaning of life; what the purpose of all of this is. You've tried coaching, talking to friends, maybe even some therapists, but nothing is sticking and you desperately need help getting out of this fog.

I am currently offering a free consultation for my services. Licensed in NY and NJ. It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times? I also believe that we can make some sense out of our feelings by examining past relationships. With this awareness we can begin to look at your current feelings and relationships. In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.

Through empathetic listening and a collaborative process, Minahil believes that people can use the therapeutic space to gain greater understanding of themselves, their journey, tools to cope, and explore their relations to others.

She uses a psychodynamic and attachment approach, as well as the Gottman Method.

Reaching out to a therapist can feel overwhelming and incredibly vulnerable - I’ve been there too. I remember the anxiety and self-doubt in asking for help. I also remember the therapist who helped me through some of the most difficult seasons of my life. I believe healing happens through relationships. When we can share all parts of ourselves with another and be truly seen. Witnessed. Understood. The messy, the dark, the confusing and the seemingly unlovable. All parts of you are welcome here. You don’t have to do it alone, I would be honored and humbled to join you.

I'm passionate about helping people achieve emotional well-being, personal growth, and positive change. I believe everyone has the potential for resilience and inner strength, and I want to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. It’s only human to want to heal in order to function at our optimal capacity, whatever that might be for us. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

Each individual has a unique narrative, experiences, and worldview. As a result, two different people may have a completely different outlook on a common experience. In my approach to therapeutic work, I aspire to explore the intersectionality of various identities that an individual holds. My approach to therapy includes identifying and integrating parts of the individual and their experiences to foster self-awareness, practical solutions, and advance personal growth.During our sessions together, I want to approach my clients in a collaborative manner and provide them the tools and space they need to heal, learn, and grow.

Are you often self-critical, with a negative or harsh voice in your head? Do you experience shame, “not good enough-ness”, and unworthiness?

These experiences are painful and can stop you from living a more rewarding life. If this sounds familiar, I understand and I’m here to help. I specialize in working with anxiety, shame, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, life transitions, sexuality, and gender.

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Roksana Badruddoja. Family Constellation Therapy is a systemic psychospiritual therapeutic model that reveals the hidden intergenerational dynamics in a family/relationship/situation and the therapeutic approach works towards balancing/neutralizing/healing the system. Dr. Badruddoja has developed a distinctive interfaith/intercultural trauma liberation method—using family and national systems; phenomenology; existentialism; epigenetics and neuroplasticity; emotions; somatics; inner/outer childs; and genotraumagrams—known as Intergenerational Family Trauma Liberation Constellation or IF-TLC.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you find yourself doing everything in your power to discontinue previous relational patterns and behaviors? Are you struggling with self-doubt, low-self-esteem, and painful self-criticism that seems to be holding you back? My approach to therapy looks at these patterns and behaviors through the lens of parts work. This allows us to separate the self (you), from the parts that struggle with self-doubt, and from the parts that persist in repeating unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns.

My goal is to help shift mindsets and help navigate the discussion as to why caring for your mental health is just as imperative as your physical health. It can be difficult to begin the journey of therapy, talk about our traumas, and make the connections needed to begin our healing process. As your therapist, I will ensure that a safe, non-judgmental space is created so you can be equipped with the tools to live your most fulfilling life. I strive to help my clients find peace, comfort, and self-love that will guide them through life in a meaningful way.
