Therapy offers a safe place for exploration and a greater depth of understanding of both yourself and your relationships. It is also an avenue to enhance social connections, and a way to set goals and chart a path to achieve them. I work with clients to address any obstacles they may be facing and in helping them to enact a plan to achieve their desired outcomes. This partnership is different from person to person, because it’s about identifying any stumbling blocks clients may be facing and working through them. I value approaching people from a place of curiosity, empathetic understanding, and use a collaborative approach.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) I begin each therapeutic connection with getting to know you and the areas of your life, and together we will conceptualize your life through a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens and how these elements interact with each other and affect your overall wellbeing.

You deserve to be better than fine! I am a Long Island psychologist, providing individual, group, and couples counseling, with offices in Garden City, Rockville Centre, and Roslyn Heights, NY. I believe in getting to know you as a person. I offer evidence based treatments, but I account for the personal factor, because you have your own unique needs. My goal is to create a warm environment, work with you on your challenges, and develop solutions that will help you reach your goals. I focus on what will make your life better, and provide support that helps you see results.

Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or just have the feeling there should be more to life, I can help you explore possibilities for change. My goal is to provide my clients with the knowledge and understanding of how relationships work and how problems can be resolved in the most challenging situations. I believe every person grows from the positive and negative relationships they've been in or are currently in. It is my mission to help clients establish resources and build upon strengths to enhance happiness in every relationship.

I provide relationship coaching to support, empower, and teach couples how to be happy together again. So many couples are simply missing the tools needed to create the healthy relationship they want. Partners need to know the "rules" of healthy communication, fighting constructively, and repairing the breaks that occur between them. When you understand why couples fight and how unresolved conflicts snowball into deep resentment and unhappiness, you're able to help reverse it. I believe teaching the underlying principles allows each partner to trust the process and invest in making changes.

You’re arguing with family and friends more than usual. There have been changes in your life… some expected, others unexpected. You don’t know how to cope. Even when you think you’re doing okay, the memory of a past mistake or situation makes you doubt yourself. Or has your relationship been stuck in a cycle of dysfunction as constant arguments, long stretches of silence where you and your partner go days, or even weeks, without speaking to one another. You’re becoming roommates - simply coexisting in the same space but not really having meaningful interactions.

I was born and raised in New York. As a South Asian American and a child of Indian immigrants, I know there is a stigma around going to therapy, which takes courage. My goal is to change that perspective among many cultures. I’m invested in working with people from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities. I have over five years of experience working with school-aged children, adolescents, adults, and couples.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical therapist with over 8 years of counseling experience. My expertise lies in helping people achieve their goals of stress reduction, improved coping skills, communication, and self-esteem. My eclectic approach includes extensive knowledge in cognitive behavioral, client-centered, and trauma-informed therapy modalities. As an Afro-Latina myself, I know that having a culturally-sensitive therapist is very important to ensure that clients feel heard and supported in sessions. I believe in creating a space of acceptance and unconditional positive regard in order to foster self-acceptance and healing.

The foundation of my therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also incorporate other methodologies to meet the needs of each unique individual. My approach as a therapist is flexible because I understand the importance of your individuality. My goal is for my clients to feel safe and comfortable when they start therapy whether it be their first time or they have had past experiences. My style is to be interactive and engage with my clients while providing an environment that is safe, non-judgmental and supportive.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

Hi - Margaret Doherty here! Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

Searching for a therapist can often feel overwhelming when you already feel sad, hopeless or lost. It takes courage to consider that something in your life is not working, that you could use help. Therapy allows you to get acquainted with yourself and the world you inhabit in a new way. Through this expanded field of view, you are better equipped to make choices that will help you achieve. During our time together, I will walk beside you as we navigate the newness around us. We will work on various techniques and learn new skills to help you cope with the vast and sudden changes.

I work with individuals, couples, and families and utilize various treatment therapies based on the needs of my clients. I work with couples experiencing marital difficulties, individuals experiencing relationship issues as well as those with health concerns, mid-life transitions, anxiety and weight issues.
