Therapists in Pearl River, NY

As an integrative, multi-disciplinary therapist, it's important to me that I help you unleash your true potential so you can lead a life that you want to celebrate! While we can't change difficult past situations, we can understand and resolve challenges in your life NOW. By applying integrative therapy approaches, we'll unearth whatever may be holding you back from experiencing YOUR fulfilled life. If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you toward your aspirations.

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.

Beginning therapy can be scary, intimidating, and stressful, but can also make a big difference in your life. There are times we feel stuck, lost, confused, angry, or hurt. Periods when relationships feel like they’re falling apart, life feels aimless, or we feel unhappy and can’t quite pinpoint why. For some this is new, while for others it can be a lifelong struggle. Therapy provides a safe space for processing thoughts and feelings, for exploring the past and its influence over the present, and for risking change. Therapy can help you cope with challenges and make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to grow.

I am an experienced adult psychotherapist with accredited postgraduate training and clinical experience. I have special interests in work-related stress, performance anxiety, eating disorders and interpersonal relationships. I have an active affiliation with many major insurance plans. You can expect to have a consultation within one to two days. My office is conveniently located on the Upper West Side. Curiosity, humor and a toleration of paradox and irony can help. Let's see how we can bring out the best in you and make the world a better place for everyone.

It’s time to start living with joy and intention. Although this may seem like an unattainable goal for you right now, with a supportive trusting hand you can live the way you want to live. Therapy should be a compassionate space for you to safely express the fullness of who you are and address what’s holding you back from participating fully in your life. Whether it's past trauma, relationship patterns that no longer serve you or fear of being your authentic self, we will identify your strengths and use them to create a life that excites you.

I work with clients who are struggling to get out of their own way and continue to repeat undesired patterns. These issues can present as continuing to choose emotionally unavailable partners ("toxic" partners), and yet get frustrated things are not working out and internalize it as something is wrong with them, or individuals/couples that have read every books they could find, yet the change they implement is often temporary and ultimately they return to old unhealthy behaviors and emotions. I help clients reach their goal of identifying and aligning with their values to live an empowered life filled with self-trust and love.

My experience working in the mental health system for over 10 years has shown me the impact of oppressive systems on the well-being of individuals. This is why I believe as a therapist it is my duty to view all client struggles through systems theory (the impact of external systems on an individual versus the independent “deficiencies” of one person). Your struggle may be tied to race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, etc. Maybe you’re having a hard time setting boundaries, focusing on your own needs, forming healthy relationships, breaking intergenerational patterns, or not reaching your goals.

My intentions are to support you in connecting to yourself in ways that you never thought you could. I bring a genuine, warm, and accepting presence to the room to help you feel appreciated, understood, confident, and heard. Acknowledging the wants and needs that we have as individuals is important in order to work towards finding our inner happiness and peace. I aim to get to know who each client is to create personal goals through a combination of techniques that are suitable for the desired outcome.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults coping with a variety of challenges.

I build a therapeutic relationship where my clients feel comfortable working towards achieving their goals. I use my extensive background in evidence-based treatment to provide each individual with optimal care.

Everyone deserves a space to be heard without judgment or fear. Through my passion for empathetic listening and mental health advocacy, I approach the counseling space with an attitude of exploration and mutual respect. Every individual is a unique blend of personality and life experiences, so therapeutic interventions will be tailored to your specific needs, cultural background, and intersecting identities. Together, we will process the past, address unhelpful thought patterns in the present, and clarify goals for the future. Let’s collaborate on your therapeutic journey today.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
