Family Systems Therapists in 11777

“I don’t feel heard,” or “I can’t seem to do anything right,” are common feelings expressed in couples’ therapy. Another client may come confused, “People are telling me I have anger issues.” And other folks feel overwhelmed and stressed, “My life is changing dramatically and I’m not sure what to do next.” As one who has had many life experiences, I may identify with many of the feelings you are experiencing. Whether it is your relationships, feelings of anxiety or depression, or struggles with the choice’s life has put in front of you.

My therapy perspective is as diverse as the community I serve. My work with individuals is geared toward strengthening their sense of self. I also facilitate peer support groups and small intimate therapeutic groups. My therapeutic model is a combination of Rogerian (person-centered therapy), and the Empowerment Approach (the connection between "social and economic justice" and "individual pain and suffering"). Family Systems Theory (connected to a living system); and Feminist Theory (gender and related concepts remain central to feminist social work theory). With this blend, the entire overarching concepts are framed.

Life can be challenging and uncertain at times. It can also be difficult to ask for support, but when we do, it can drastically change our lives for the better. My name is Shannon Russo and I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker practicing psychotherapy in Port Jefferson, NY.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. -Carl Yung It is hard when you're told by other people you have so much in life to happy about, but you can't really feel it for yourself. Laying in bed often wondering, "Could I do more?", "Am I enough?", and "Why does it seem like I am missing something?". Asking yourself about these kinds of things are actually brave and courageous thoughts! Many times we feel alone or are afraid to share what we think and feel because no-one wants to be judged or ridiculed. To trust someone with our inner most thoughts and feelings, must be respected and protected.

Let’s be honest, life can sometimes be hard to live, but it doesn’t have to be. Everyone is entitled to a life of joy. At times our circumstances, trauma, mental health diagnosis, and/or medical condition may seem to stand in the way of that. With the right therapist you can find joy and life can feel better to live.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking that first step in putting yourself first. Whether you are looking to develop tangible coping skills to control your anxiety, manage your depression, process trauma, integrate a painful loss, or delve into understanding your attachment style in relationships; I view our treatment as a means to promote greater self-understanding. My goal is simple, meet my clients where they are at, and promote flourishing. We are all resilient, the key is mastering the techniques to unlock that resilience and strength.

As we all know, life can be hard. My goal is to help clients navigate their own particular struggles so that their lives are lighter and more manageable. I particularly enjoy working with clients on social and emotional challenges, and aim to create a collaborative, client centered relationship with my clients that will foster resilience and improve their ability to cope with challenges.

Congratulations on taking this first step in seeking support and making change. Perhaps you’re fully on board with the idea of talking to someone or maybe you’re more undecided- but either way-welcome! My name is Michael and I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with experience working in an inpatient acute psychiatric setting as well as being a supervisor and therapist in an adolescent and adult mental health clinic. When it comes to treatment, I believe in focusing on the underlying cause and not solely on the presenting symptom, which allows me to work to get to the root of the behaviors being displayed.

Are you stuck? Would you like to get your life back? If you recognize that your personal, professional, social or academic functioning is affected by overwhelming feelings of anxiety depression, fear or anger specifically caused by a particular loss (death, disability, divorce or break-up, pet, job, etc) I can help! I help people who are overwhelmed with grief become unstuck and get their lives back!

Are you looking for a better approach toward life, your relationships, your career, life's transitions, your family? Our journey in life causes us to reflect on our experiences, which develop, define, and teach us, not only about ourselves but the lives of those around us and the world itself. Life often has a way of teaching us what we have either longed for, what we need to learn, or what we can learn, to help us work through difficult times, in order to allow ourselves the ability to love ourselves. It’s through these experiences/ times that we become stronger, to allow ourselves to heal to become the best version of ourselves.

Are you looking to create a richer, more fulfilling life? Whether you're moving through one of life's many transitions, having relationship problems, or suffering from an illness like depression, anxiety, or chronic pain, I have the experience and skills to join you to explore the barriers that may be both hindering you as well as creating additional suffering in your experience. In therapy, I will support you to identify your strengths and build new skills and behaviors to support your goals and to enhance your well-being.

Hello, my name is Christopher Callahan and I am starting a new practice. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a specialization in addiction. I offer a kind, caring, non-judgmental, and straightforward approach to assisting you in achieving your goals. I am currently accepting Aetna, UHC, Oxford, UMR, HealthFirst, and Medicaid insurances now, while I am in the process of becoming credentialed with more insurance companies as well. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you feel I can be of assistance.

When life becomes unmanageable it can make one feel very alone. It’s in these moments that we need to reach out for help and guidance to get ourselves back on track. We know that anxiety, depression, anger, grief, etc. are all issues that we deal with throughout our lifetime. What some do not know is that we don’t have to deal with these emotions on our own. There are many different coping skills in place to help you manage and heal.

As a licensed psychotherapist for more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people of all ages, as well as couples and families as they navigated through the challenges they faced. I truly love what I do, and I am passionate about helping people get through difficult times, helping them to be happier and more fulfilled in their lives and relationships. In order to help more people, I formed a group practice of compassionate therapists, each with their own unique style and set of skills, and a passion for helping others.

Motivation to change can be difficult when bogged down with the day to day challenges of life. As a therapist I enjoy working with clients to sort through the barriers that keep them from the success they deserve in life. Facing our problems by learning the new skills necessary to resolve them will lead to a more successful and satisfying life.

When we connect, we boost our mood and increase our ability to manage our emotions. Partnering with a supportive therapist is the first step. With a supportive connection, you can discover your unmet needs and embrace your vulnerability with courage. Meeting what scares us the most is our greatest potential for reclaiming our power. When we are the empowered hero of our story, we can make positive changes for ourselves - or find the courage to let go of what we can not change.

Are you struggling with finding healthy ways to cope? Life can be pretty stressful and overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Relationships, family issues, parenting, work, school, daily functioning, responsibilities, social struggles can all become difficult to cope with. I believe it is important to collaborate with the client to find out what they would like to gain from attending therapy so that goals can be attained while facing these challenges.

Excessive stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and even depressive thoughts can manifest during all different time periods in our life. Many of the work with my clients surrounds around life transitions, illness, chronic illness, loss, work related stress and relationship issues/ break ups and body dysmorphia. While times like these can get tough and may even feel unbearable, it is important for you to know that these feelings/ situations are completely normal and you do not have to cope with these feelings and situations on your own.

It takes courage and strength to reach out for support during trying and challenging times. Therapy allows us to connect more deeply with ourselves, and tap into the power of being vulnerable in order to heal and strengthen. I am honored to accompany you on your journey to self-discovery while providing skillful guidance and resources along the way to help foster positive manifestation and emotional regulation. I am a client-centered psychotherapist focusing on empowering people through unique and evidence-based approaches to therapy. I am a certified Clinical Supervisor offering:
