Therapists in Hewlett, NY

I approach therapy with warmth & authenticity & know that it that can be a powerful force for change and healing. One of my goals is to craft an inviting environment that feels safe and non-judgmental. Collaboratively, we will identify your goals and work towards positive change. I have been working in the MH field since 2008 & have had the privilege of working with multicultural patients coping with various type of difficulties. Some of my areas of expertise include anxiety, grief & loss, performers/actors/dancers, high functioning autistic spectrum, LGBTQ folks, couples/families, industrial consultation & supervision of others.

We believe there is hope and answers. At Rockland County Counseling, we offer psychotherapy for children, adults & couples. We start with a free 15 minute consultation providing an outline of your concerns in real time. We then complete a bio-psycho-spiritual-social to help us move through a framework of your life forming a deeper understanding of your overall construct. We then incorporate both CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) to treat post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, substance use, adolescent challenges and life transitions.

We often feel anxious, down, or lonely in their relationships due to unrealistic expectations and constantly being "on the go". Balancing family, school, career, and life obligations creates challenges in maintaining fulfilling relationships and strong connections with our partners, our families and loved ones. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and collaboration where one can learn relationship skills, coping skills and foster growth and healing.

Are life's obstacles getting you down? Does it feel impossible to get ahead or to get over the past? Life can be overwhelming. Let’s work to overcome negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness, irritability, and any other feelings that may be weighing you down. Together, we will learn to think about our problems in more manageable ways and develop skills to deal with those issues that are individualized to you.

**Currently Accepting new clients!**** Hello! I am a passionate and warm bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Master of Social Worker. I have clinical experience in different settings including outpatient treatment programs, school settings and private practice. I can work with all age groups from teens to adults.

I have first hand experience as a member of the neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and kink communities, and thus have a unique ability to provide insight and support to other members of those communities. I was inspired to become a therapist because of my own experiences with therapy and a desire to help those in marginalized communities

We are a team of licensed counselors passionate about working with clients who are seeking mental wellness. We can support you as you combat anxiety and depression, explore your identity, wade through life transitions, or learn to build healthier relationships. We can help you discover the strengths that nourish your inner resilience - because we do believe experiences of trauma, oppression, and neglect shape you, but we also believe you have an incredible ability to heal. It is for this reason we adopted the blossoming cherry tree as a symbol of our work - it reminds us of the ways that being open to change builds resilience.

“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Hello. My Name is Kahli. I am a qualified mental health professional. I provide therapy to adults and children. I specialize in helping women to get through challenging life transitions. Using an eclectic mix of evidence-based treatments, common sense and humor, I provide individual therapy, pre-marital and marital counseling.

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.

Embarking on a journey toward healing and purpose can be equally hopeful and daunting. Maybe you have experienced trauma that is currently resurfacing in disruptive ways. Or, you have challenges with engaging in fulfilling relationships. Perhaps you're starting to realize that your familiar coping strategies have stopped serving you. Whatever the hurdle is, I'm glad you're here. I work with folks who have granted themselves the permission and grace to explore issues related to their emotional distress, intersecting identities, complex trauma, maladaptive relational patterns, addictive behaviors, and self-acceptance.

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.

NY & DC Residents Only - Life transitions can get messy. We all face times of uncertainty, loss, and endings. Transitions can also mean new beginnings, different relationships, and exploring the unknown in your future and your past. Our sessions are a space to examine roots of systemic oppression, inherited fears, environmental trauma, and harmful labels you were given that you didn't ask for. My role is to walk with you as we examine your patterns for growth, detach what no longer serves you, and map out your mental health wellness journey together.

Frustrated, stuck, or unfulfilled in an area of your life? You're not alone. Amid a global pandemic, along with the current social and political climate, knowing how to begin healing can be a challenge. Life is complicated and it can be difficult to reach out to gain the support and encouragement that you need to succeed. But don’t worry, I’ll be your ally on this journey - supporting and helping you along the way. As a Black male therapist in NYC, I specialize in working with individuals & couples, who at times feel powerless and are often marginalized - including immigrants, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Any intersecting identities, bodies and abilities are welcomed here in this brave space we collaborate on together. I'm Luna (they/them) and I am a trans, nonbinary, queer, polyam and Latine therapist based in New York. My lived experiences as a queer and trans, low-income, first generation student with immigrant parents, inform how I am able to provide the most collaborative, client-centered and strengths based care to provide transformative justice towards your healing.

My ideal focus is an adult working with anxiety, depression, and low self- esteem who wants to build their self-worth and work on finding purpose in life. I have worked with adults and children of diverse cultures, with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, substance, and oppositional defiant disorder. I am also passionate about working with African Americans and LGBTQIA+ communities on self-acceptance and openly expressing themselves without fear of judgment. I have a client-centered approach that provides unconditional positive regard and provide cognitive behavioral therapy.

Are you looking for a therapist who can understand both your BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identity? Maybe you're navigating polyamory or kink and looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate ear?
