“It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed”- Doe Zantemata. We all experience issues or difficult times in our lives, but we do not have to go through it alone. It is okay not to be okay and get the help we need to bring out the light within us in coping with everyday issues.

New Hyde Park, NY 11040
In private practice since 1987, I offer individual, family, couple therapy, with a practical approach drawing on psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.
Long experience has familiarized me with the many ways in which people surrender to fear and anxiety, remain stuck in unhappy memories, repeat self-defeating behaviors, and forget how to love and be loved. People who telephone for an appointment are typically struggling with serious and painful personal difficulties. These can range from lifelong burdens to family crises, often with a tangled history; rarely has an acute problem dropped into an otherwise happy life. My patients would like to see major changes in their lives. With that in mind, I work as rapidly as circumstances allow, but with empathy and flexibility.

Life is full of transitions and it's difficult to deal with the day-to-day challenges of family, work, school, health, or grieving a loss. The help of a professional counselor may be necessary to get through some of these moments. I use a Person-Centered technique to create a safe space for you to tell your story. I have over 15+ years of working as a Human Resource Professional and I have seen how workplace bias impacts an individual’s mental well-being. I transitioned into Mental Health Counseling because of my passion for working with individuals and families to find a pathway to getting unstuck and navigating the unknown.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
