Compassion Focused Therapists in Wyandanch, NY

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, anxiety, and issues of self worth. If you desire more nervous system regulation, confidence in your connections with others, and ability to access joy and peace, we may work well together. My clients often describe working hard to make others happy, frequent anxiety and worrying that they're not enough or not doing enough. If you get lost in thoughts of comparison and are often searching for answers outside of yourself, my way of working will offer you tools to develop more self love, inner peace and a trust in your inner wisdom.

Life is complicated. Sometimes, in our ever-changing world, we may find that we would benefit from support in navigating and improving upon various dimensions of ourselves and our day-to-day life that can impact our functioning. I offer professional support in a warm, safe environment to assist you in garnering insight into your feelings, exploring your strengths, working towards goals, and finding needed answers.

Do you ever feel inadequate? Ever wish you had more self-control around food? Do you always feel dissatisfied with your body? Maybe you feel as though you’ll finally be happy once you lose weight, work out more or “shape up.” Do you ever avoid certain social events because of food or fear of comments about your eating or body? The problem isn’t your body, food or your “lack of self-control.” You won’t find help in the newest diet or workout trend. “Just eat” or “just stop eating” aren’t the solutions either. You want to feel at peace with your body and as if you have control over food and NOT the other way around. I can help you.

I believe in creating a warm, friendly, judge-free atmosphere for you to comfortably share and process your past or current thoughts, emotions and issues together. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, experiencing panic attacks or feeling like you’re going through a unique issue, you are not alone. Just talking and venting about your week alone, can be helpful to be able to process your thoughts and feelings with someone that will focus solely on you without any interruptions. Additionally, being multi-cultural and bilingual, has allowed me to be culturally sensitive and work well with diverse backgrounds.

Welcome to all clients, 13+ that feel sad or stressed regarding school, work, relationship, goal setting challenges. Clients that dislike standard cold clinical therapy. Clients that are lgbtqia identified and clients who are on the Neurodiverse spectrum. Success is different, more like an objective friend or relative. :)

Do you struggle with finding your balance and maintaining peace? Are you repeating the same negative patterns, feeling stagnant, ashamed, anxious and overwhelmed? I will work with you to build solutions that fit you when you have: the desire to improve any aspect of your life• trouble adjusting to a new situation or life transition• conflicts that keep you from being closer to people you care about• anxiety• depression• lack information or embarrassment about sex• questions about relationships or sexual health..... I hold space for you to discuss and explore personal related topics confidentially without shame and judgement.

The only way to change is to define who you are and then change your habits to align with who your new self is. It's as simple as that, but the problem that arises the most with the clients who come into my office is; who is this new person I want to be. This can be difficult, because many times there are many underlying factors that prevent us, or that we perceive prevent us from taking the steps we need to move forward. It is my job is to help you realize what great potential you have inside you already. With that said let's work together to pick apart the old ideas you have of yourself, and create a new pathway forward.

Do you find yourself frequently thinking, "I'm tired of feeling like this" or "I just can't do this alone"? Therapy can help you move past certain beliefs and habits that are keeping you stuck in those negative feelings. Often we have the belief that when we reach a certain point in our lives, we will be happy. However when we reach those points, we find that we are still unfulfilled. I believe that happiness is not a destination we reach, rather it is something we learn to experience as we travel our path in life.

I think one of the bravest things you can do is speak out loud, the things that scare and confuse you. Navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma can be challenging when dealt with alone. In a non-judgmental but curious way let’s unpack emotions, challenge thinking patterns/behaviors, and learn to live authentically and not be in survival mode.
