Therapists in Middle Village, NY

Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step to reclaiming yourself and/or your relationships. Sometimes, the first step is the hardest, and you did it! One of the main goals of therapy that I hold in the highest regard is creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you. I aim to help my clients figure out what their next step is. Whether this is as an individual, a couple, or a family. Sometimes in life, we get stuck. Let’s work together to help figure out how to get you unstuck.

I am a licensed mental health counselor who believes in using a positive therapeutic partnership to help you create the change you are looking for. Over the past 8 years, being a mental health advocate and practitioner has allowed me to work with a variety of ethnic/cultural backgrounds, genders, and people of all ages. My passion has been focused on helping others who experience anxiety, depression, major life changes, stress, and trauma. Our work together will be focused on you achieving your goals and removing barriers to your personal success.

You must be exhausted from life's many challenges and confusion about the state of your life. I am available to help you navigate and bring meaning to your life by listening and validating your feelings as well as providing compassion and support to do the hard work necessary for wellness. Each day is a new present, but traumas from our family origins may prevent us from moving forward. I will work patiently with you to set goals in therapy and work through loss and trauma.

I specialize in working with first generation individuals and families to help you better understand yourself in relation to culture, values and expectations throughout your life cycle. I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with navigating the feelings of belonging and not belonging to a culture, and its impact on one’s sense of self. Using a trauma-informed and narrative approach, I help clients understand and heal from the effects of generational trauma and family enmeshment, while also helping you forge a relationship with your own unique story.

My name is Elizabeth DeAngelis and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NYC. I earned my Ed.M at Columbia University in mental health counseling. I also received an MA in psychology and religion at Union Theological Seminary. At Union I received specialized training about clients' existential/spiritual concerns. My goal is to offer clients a safe space to process emotions without judgment. I want to help clients explore their past and present stressors to overcome blockages in life. I work with client's to explore their past attachment patterns and traumas to help address current relational patterns affecting their lives

I offer a nonjudgmental, empathic, and genuine approach with all of my clients. I bring empathy into every interaction I have with every person & I operate from a radical, social justice, abolitionist, anti-oppressive perspective. I incorporate the Liberation Health Framework into my work, paying close attention to how oppression/systems affect everyone's experiences moving through the world. My identity as a queer mixed race woman of color strongly influences my practice and work with clients. I have experience working with QTPOC communities, disenfranchised & marginalized identities, and folks navigating mental health challenges.

Often our mental health issues are triggered by the highly demanding lifestyle in a stressful environment. We are not able to process all the issues we face all by ourselves. We need professional perspectives of our issues. In therapy I help patients analyze their issues in a scientific manner. My approach is holistic: health, body, mind, spirit, biology, and the environmental factors. Every human being has potentials to overcome their problems through time, patience, insight, using proper resources, and applying their inner strengths. I have faith in my patience. My motto: Educate. Empower. Evolve. I am inspired by what I see!

Feeling overwhelmed? Is your job stress bleeding into other areas of your life? Maybe you’re thinking it may be time for a transition but are unsure. I understand the intricacies of being a working professional, including coping with workplace dynamics and stress, which can lead to mental health issues. I am here to guide you on your journey to improving your well-being through self-awareness and acceptance.

I believe in utilizing psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, my practice also focuses on changing the neural pathways that can become distorted when we experience trauma. With the help of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can work to heal childhood trauma, adult PTSD, and distorted thinking that limits joy and growth in your life. Additionally, I have experience with supporting clients with cognitive integration after a psychedelic treatment. I can support you in taking control of both your body and mind.

I have over nine years of direct practice experience in the field of mental health. I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults achieve mental wellness and overcome challenges in their lives. I have honed my skills in providing evidence-based interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, to help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral difficulties to gain awareness and autonomy. We will discuss your feelings, examine behavioral patterns, and life events that impact your current functioning and enhance your inner resources to achieve your goals.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, trauma, adjustments, and relationship issues. By embracing cultural nuances and sensitivities, I create a nurturing environment where clients can explore their challenges effectively. Together, we'll develop personalized strategies to promote healing, resilience, and meaningful connections. Take the first step towards transformative growth.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure what to do next, it's time to get help. Let's turn your pain and uncertainty into growth you never thought possible. Talking about loss, grief, emotional pain and stress, with the right therapist who is non-judgmental will help you deal with these issues in a healthy way while feeling supported. You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and being a better you.

Sometimes you know exactly what the problem might be, and other times it feels more confusing and elusive. I specialize in working with preteens, teens, and young adults in exploring, making sense of, and moving through their beautifully complex internal worlds. I believe that past experiences and relationships have a profound impact on how we see the world and move through it. Using a variety of effective treatment approaches tailored to each unique individual, we will explore how your lens has helped protect you in the past while also identifying new ways the pattern can be shifted to better serve you moving forward.

If you're struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or just having difficulty managing relationships and life transitions, sometimes it's hard not to feel stuck when you feel like you don't know where to start. Whether you're a beginner in therapy or have had it before and wanting to start up again, we're here to help.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you.
