Therapists in Mastic, NY

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) as well as a Certified Dialectical Behavior therapist (C-DBT). My aim is to provide a friendly, respectful & non-judgmental environment in which clients can safely explore any issue(s) that might bring them to therapy/counseling. I've acquired practical experience throughout the Public, Private & Voluntary sectors of the Mental Health Service, working with people of all different ages, ethnic & cultural backgrounds; I have had many years of experience in helping clients, who feel that they are on the point of no return.

I am passionate about giving my clients a voice and supporting them in becoming the best version of themselves. Working closely with the client in the treatment process and providing the client with the necessary skills to achieve lifelong change is something that is important to me. To make this possible, I am always looking for new interventions that are individualized, and assisting the clients in using the insights and knowledge gained in psychotherapy, to develop effective coping skills, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance skills, communication skills and proficiency in personal stress management and symptom management.

I'm just a mental health guide. You're the expert on you. You've lived your entire life with all of the context of all of your experiences, relationships etc. When you step into my sessions, you're providing me with a window into that world and I provide you with my clinical interpretation of what I perceive. You're the one that's living in it. It's my job to help you navigate your own mind to get you what you want. Not to shape you into what I believe is best. I'm just the mental health guy.

There are some hardships in life that cannot be easily forgotten. These experiences influence how we view ourselves and navigate relationships with others. There is a natural tendency to re-enact the woes because of it's familiarity. The therapeutic alliance will help us learn from the past, become more aware from the present, and establish a safe outlook for the future.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are. My own journey has led me to my career as a therapist which allows me the honor and opportunity to work together with my clients to recognize their own strengths and limitations in achieving their goals. All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.
