Therapists in Hyde Park, NY

When do we seek therapy? when we feel overwhelmed, depressed, stressed, anxious, stagnated, confused, challenged, lonely...when we are unhappy. Simple like that. And what are some therapy expectations that we have? To stop feeling overwhelmed, depressed, stressed, anxious, stagnated etc..,to stop being unhappy.  I have good news for you! This is attainable. Yes, you can stop being unhappy. However, do you want to be happy? Silly question I know. But tell me please, after all this negativity that you experience do you have the expectation to be happy?Let me answer, most of the people say “no". 

One of the most courageous things we can do is to begin to understand our own story. What often precedes healing, however, is profound confusion and discomfort which deters us from delving deeper within. The process of growth is often accompanied by fear of the unknown and thus, can appear a daunting task. But you are not alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you come to know yourself and navigate the path to a happier, healthier life. More importantly, what are your goals? What makes you feel safe? Therapy strengthens our insight by compassionately confronting us with the questions we have never dared to ask ourselves before.

The long term goal of Calm Seas as a whole is to support our Law Enforcement families from the start of their careers (DAY ONE) until they retire and move into the next phase of their lives. We are here to help through and prevent the long term affects of trauma, addiction, divorce, and suicide.

I am a doctor of clinical social work, board certified in oncology care, whose goal it is to provide a compassionate space for therapy. In my many years of experience in cancer care in a healthcare setting, my work has afforded me the opportunity to support individuals, families, and loved ones through life threatening and life-limiting illness, trauma, grief, loss, existential distress, and the search for meaning in the face of adversity. In life, there is suffering for us all in different ways and we can perhaps find meaning in the pain, purpose in the loss, and comfort through the journey.

Perhaps you are having trouble controlling your anxiety or feelings of sadness. Maybe you are struggling in your relationships or you second-guess yourself. Perhaps you are going through changes in your professional or personal life that cause additional stress. Psychotherapy can help in meaningful ways. Many of us feel only those with severe problems can benefit from counseling. It is not a sign of weakness to seek out therapy but a strength to enlist experts in overcoming the impediments to a more fulfilling life.

Starting therapy can be scary, which is why I strive to create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable to open up and explore difficult feelings and experiences. Together we can address undesirable thoughts and behaviors that impact your life, understand relationship dynamics, and work collaboratively to promote change. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with support, empower you to grow, and offer you tools to effectively manage current difficulties.

I specialize in working with creative highly sensitive people who deal with depression and anxiety. Together we will process your experiences, change unhelpful narratives, and develop harmony and balance within yourself. I work as witness in helping you develop a more nuanced inner dialogue to move from a place of confusion and disconnection towards self compassion and healing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, Sex Positive, Spiritually affirming, and work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, multiculturally sensitive, & intersectional approach towards embodied healing and life empowerment.

As your therapist, I want nothing more than for you to feel safe & comfortable & will work with you to explore your past, present, and future self. Finding a therapist who can meet your needs, bring calm & purpose to your life, can be challenging, and many times feel overwhelming. As such, I want to applaud you for taking these vital first steps in bringing therapy into your life. Being part of someone's journey to self-realization & healing is both an honor and a privilege that I do not take lightly. I will teach you how to separate yourself from the problem(s) you are experiencing in order to work through them.

Have you been feeling down or anxious? Do you have marital/relationship stressors and feel like things will never change? Does your child experience behavioral challenges and/or has a hard time communicating/socializing with peers? Perhaps parenting has been overwhelming and you need a safe space to talk and find new ways to manage your emotions and situations?

I know how difficult it can be to open up to someone about your most vulnerable, hidden self. This step is often the hardest to take, and although taking it means facing thoughts and feelings you'd rather not, it also means creating a path of healing for yourself. I'll strive to provide you with a safe, therapeutic space filled with compassion and empathy to support you while we take on this challenge. Together, we will begin to explore the feelings and experiences that cause you pain.

Struggling in your relationship? Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, facing communication, trust and intimacy issues, feeling like your partner doesn't understand you, or dealing with a divorce, we' re here! What sets us apart is our structured approach. We'll start with weekly sessions, then transition to biweekly, and eventually monthly meetings. Plus, after your "graduation", we'll have two check-ins per year to ensure those healthy habits stick. In between sessions, we'll assign tasks to work on your relationship, and you'll have access to us outside of appointments for advice and support.

Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do; but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors and traumatic events-including new or ongoing health conditions-affect every aspect of our lives & can make relationships-with family& friends very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood,& unsupported(even by the well-intentioned).They can also lead us to make choices we are not proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general. I specialize in anxiety/depression/life transitions/pelvic floor dysfunction.
