Life is a dynamic, creative process - your therapy should be so as well. If you feel that your life is overbalanced with drudgery and that joy is often eclipsed by an unfulfilled sense of simply getting through the days - I believe I can help. If you are seeking a direct, highly interactional psychoanalyst with whom you can engage, explore, learn about yourself, and jump-start your life, I look forward to meeting with you and/or your partner.

Life can be filled with challenging moments, situations and relationships. Such encounters can cause depression, anxiety and isolation. Life events may lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms that can evolve into self-destructive behaviors or relationships. I believe that healing and insight are stimulated by an interpersonal connection provided through a therapeutic alliance between the client and the therapist. I am trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have years of experience as a therapist working in a renowned outpatient substance abuse and mental health facility.

Living in today's world is stressful, causing multiple psychological and physical issues to surface. You may find yourself having relationship and couples issues, anxiety, addiction, motivation, employment, life coaching, and financial issues. My style of Therapy is eclectic, encompassing behavioral, cognitive, motivational, psychodynamic, modalities in a safe environment.

As a therapist, I prioritize getting to know the whole person and deeply value the unique relationship that grows within the therapeutic space.

I specialize in working with couples, marriages, and families. I aim to increase healthier communication, understanding and on building a stronger connection, beginning from the first therapy session. I provide psychotherapy without judgement or blame, in a supportive, empathic and caring environment. I work with individuals, couples and families of diverse backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. I look to empower people and to help them tap into their inner resources, to develop coping strategies to manage stressful situations, and to find solutions to their relational challenges.

I am a Clinical Mental Health counselor at South Shore Psychological Care. I earned my B.A. in Fine Art and a minor in Psychology from S.U.N.Y Plattsburgh. I have spent the last ten years aiding military families by using my training in psychology throughout Europe and America. This inspired me to continue my education and complete my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in Missouri. I utilize Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Family Systems Approach to help my clients become best versions of them.

I have found that a client-centered approach works best; whatever works for you, be it career coaching, rethinking your perceptions of self and others, negotiating challenges and changes in your life through reframing those perceptions or exploring your personal history, your story, using journaling, dream analysis, mindfulness to understand your relationship patterns. My specialty now is in addressing life transitions and the feelings these changes engender. My focus is in learning to stay present, to be aware of feeling states, and to move toward clarity and forgiveness in order to reset the dynamics that surround depression, anxiety, anger, trauma.

I see psychotherapy as helping individuals reach beyond problem solving to a deeper contact with their embodied self and imagination. My psychoanalytic training informs my knowledge of the effects of the past on present living. I believe that intellectual insight must include embodied experience to generate change. My training in Somatic Experiencing and Embodied Imagination (a form of dreamwork) augment my psychoanalytic understanding while opening up access to unknown aspects of self. My years of working as a therapist however,have confirmed my belief that any psychic change occurs within a therapeutic relationship of trust, respect, safety and compassion.

Hello, I’m Michele D'Angelo. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of New York, and I have been working in the mental health field for the past 10 years.

The most important factor in a therapy relationship is the relationship itself. It is my task to be available, open and supportive as the person seeks to put into words what he/she is experiencing and to work through the negative effects or life experiences, as well as lifting to the fore each person's gifts, strengths and unique perspectives. It is imperative, therefore, that we establish a relationship of trust primarily by noting how past experience may have helped or hindered one's natural self-expression and ability to actualize one's true self.

If difficult and painful emotions are becoming overwhelming and beginning to interfere with your life, there is hope. At times we can feel stuck in a cycle of dealing with the same problems that don't seem to get better. I work with adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression and struggle due to long-standing issues or perhaps a recent crisis. You may be dealing with major life changes, work or school problems, relationship/family conflict or other upsetting issues. With skilled and compassionate therapy, it is possible to find a way out of the pain--towards greater peace and happiness.

*not accepting new clients at this time* Engaging in therapy can mean many different things, but more than anything, it the shared creation of a safe space for support. I work with my clients on building a space where one can truly feel seen and cared for, in order to identify unmet needs and create a better life for oneself. I primarily work with individuals on managing stress and anxiety in work and relationships, as well as learning to understand challenging thoughts, feelings, and improving overall lifestyle choices.
