Therapists in Hewlett, NY

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.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with following through on making positive changes? Are you having trouble setting boundaries in your relationships? Do you just "feel off" and you're not sure what's wrong? When life inevitably throws us curveballs they often highlight our self-doubt, and negative feelings and beliefs about ourselves and others that we had been ignoring or didn't even know we had. You may have experienced loss, a difficult diagnosis, relationship or marital challenges, or you are carrying a painful trauma from your past. Maybe you are simply looking to gain clarity and self-awareness.

Our role is to help you identify and create a realistic plan outlined with achievable goals in order to make positive changes that empower you.

One of the most meaningful aspects of therapy is how it provides a person with the opportunity to discover their inner self. The gift of therapy is that it reduces loneliness, emotional pain, and secures you to your authentic self. As a therapist who has worked with individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds, I have seen the impactful growth clients have achieved. I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families who are struggling with relationships and other interpersonal challenges. I use a client based strength model of therapy which emphasizes the value of the client's unique strengths and capabilities.

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

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.

You feel the pressure to be "on" all the time- with the kids, at work, in all of your relationships. You may even be everyone's go to person, always willing to lend a hand. On the inside, it feels like you are drowning from all of the stress. That might look like snapping and being more irritable with your kids or spouse, and then feeling guilty afterwards. Or, having a really hard time setting boundaries because you want to make everyone around you happy. One thing is for sure, you don't want to go on this way and are ready for some relief.
