Therapists in Plainview, NY

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

I have two specialties - Helping couples to improve their relationships and helping people to change. With couples, I start with the belief that caring about each other doesn't always mean understanding each other and that many of us have never learned how to handle conflict effectively in a relationship. For those trying to change, I start with the assumption that we've usually already changed anything that's easy to change and that there are probably obstacles (often ones we are not aware of) to changing things we struggle more with - whether at work, outside of work or both.

Strong therapeutic relationships can create healing and generate the ability to change. My approach is eclectic. This means I draw from a variety therapeutic approaches and apply them depending on how well the client responds. I work with a variety of symptoms including: anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions (OCD), relationship-, sexual- and work- related issues. I am fluent in German and French, as well as English. I love diversity and I work well with people from all backgrounds and walks of life. I look forward to hearing from you and have a FREE CONSULTATION on the PHONE: 646-270-7255.

My approach is to be a facilitator of change. Many people I work with are extremely bright and creative but feel temporarily stuck. Whether it's a place, a work situation or a relationship - it restricts them from feeling satisfied with their lives. My clinical expertise and years of practice enable me to offer you structured and professional guidance. I am very attentive to your needs and will tailor our work to your specific concerns and individual goals. I will engage you in a focused and thorough manner while offering a warm and safe atmosphere with ample room for exploration.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Sex Therapist with over 20 years experience. i am a Clinical Instructor in the Program in Human Sexuality and Sex Therapy at NYU Langone Medical School. While most of my practice deals with sexual issues, I also treat other problems and difficulties. I create a safe environment for my patients to explore their concerns and use cognitive behavioral techniques to help them achieve their goals. After a comprehensive diagnostic interview I develop a treatment plan with my patient that consists of homework assignments to be completed in between sessions.

My international sex counseling clients have included West End and Broadway actors, Wall Street traders, waitresses, construction workers, and homemakers, all seeking a trauma-responsive, kink-friendly environment to address their sexual concerns. They aim to overcome STIs, erectile, ejaculatory & orgasmic challenges. On their own or with a referral from their healthcare providers, my clients desire enhanced pleasure, improved intimacy, and a satisfying sex life through self-exploration & tailored guidance, free from the constraints of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. In those situations, they know I will make the appropriate referrals.

Psychotherapy is about change and growth, an endeavor that takes commitment and courage. Change can be painful at times and often scares us, so we rather stay within the bounds of old but familiar patterns of going about our lives. To have someone you trust to guide you through the change process can make all the difference. A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings and thoughts about yourself and your relationships with others, which will bring about the change that removes the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life.

My practice consists largely of adolescents and young adults. My greatest assets are - an ability to connect with people in an accepting, non-judgmental and empathic way. Many young people today seek guidance and a better understanding of who they are and what they are feeling, their instinctive reactions and how to better understand themselves and gain from this crucial insight. Helping them through this life-changing learning process is my forte.

Before I became a psychotherapist, I had a career as a professional diplomat, and I served in different countries. Having been exposed to diverse cultures in the course of my life, I am particularly attuned to the varieties of narratives that shape people’s identities and relationships with self and others. In my work with each client, I aim to bring my unique personal and professional perspectives into our therapeutic dialogue. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore how old patterns—that might no longer serve them—repeat in the present and foreclose future growth.
