Therapists in Northport, NY

Today is a new day to start your journey to a happier life. I strive for change. Together I can help you take an active role in deepening your self awareness and self understanding.

Searching for a therapist can be a very overwhelming process. Maybe you’ve tried therapy in the past and it didn’t work out, or perhaps this is your first time looking into therapy. One of the first things I like to do as a therapist is to get to know each other. It’s my opinion that having a therapist you’re able to trust and feel comfortable with is essential in building the therapeutic alliance. From there, we will assess your goals as well as your strengths to increase self-esteem and improve relationships.

Change and growth are tough. My goal as your therapist is to aide you to move from being stuck in your life to creating a life that is in alignment with your true self. I would be honored to assist you and/or your child in gaining the skills and insight necessary for your growth.

First of all, I would like to commend you on taking this step to seek help and support. You are the expert in your life and you know now is the time. I feel there are concrete skills all of us can benefit from to think and feel more positively. I also feel there is power in telling one's story and am thankful to all of my clients willing to share theirs with me. I do not adhere to a one-size fits all approach to therapy. Your treatment will be as individual as you are and we will come up with the approach and goals together.

I believe in the dignity of every person and that we have the answers within ourselves. I will help you make the connections and you will be able to experience your best self. As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and a Clinical Hypnotherapist , I always use the most recent therapeutic techniques that are are specifically designed for you..

Within a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental environment I will collaboratively work with you to identify your needs and goals. With compassion, empathy and care for all who find themselves in need, I strive to provide the best help possible based on current research. I will journey with you as you forge new paths in your life, within your relationships. Whether you are experiencing feelings of despair, loneliness, a sense of disconnect or you have a history of significant loss, trauma, unsatisfying relationships; Intimacy issues, life long feelings of sadness, of not fitting in, belonging, unable to experience true joy,I'm here.

Starting the journey of therapy can be a difficult choice, or one that you may have been considering for some time. Regardless of how you made this decision, it is one that shows great strength and courage, but also, the ability to reach out for help. I value myself as a therapist who will be next to you every step of the way to achieve your goals & aspirations. My professional work can assist in treating a variety of issues including substance use & addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma - just to name a few.

I take a basic trauma approach. Often early in life, circumstances overwhelm us. We can feel unseen and misunderstood or as if we have to perform in order to be loved and accepted. When these situations are chronic, we naturally develop automatic responses to try and solve the problem. These responses arise again and again in adulthood without our bidding, creating varying degrees of anxiety and depression which negatively impact our relationships, careers, and ambitions. The good news is the system wants to find a way to heal itself. That’s what brought you here. It is my goal to help you realize your innate perfection.

Are you repeating negative patterns in many different areas in your life? The healing process is multi-layered. I can teach you how to bring yourself into alignment with your “ true self”. We will work on coping skills so you can find your center, and as you feel emotionally safe within yourself, we can explore the source(s) of negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Healing is intentional. Do you listen to your intuition? Do you hear it? We all have it, but too often our chronic thinking brain is so loud it drowns out the intuitive voice within. I can help teach you emotional wellness. I am also a Reiki practitioner.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and I will help you find yours. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive inpatient and outpatient experience. I enjoy working with all age groups in individual and group settings. I work together with my clients to establish collaborative and individualized treatment goals. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, stress management, and relationship issues. I also have experience running groups for both parents and children coping with the pressures and stresses of parental separation/divorce.

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. What if you could find freedom from feelings of anxiety and depression. People are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion.

Hello, my name is Corine. I am a Clinical Social Worker and Mental Health Therapist. Thank yourself for taking this step today towards your healing journey. I offer telehealth therapy sessions. My work with clients is goal oriented, person centered, and strengths based. I help clients focus on empowering themselves to make informed decisions for their mental health and overall well being. I start where the client is and validate where they are coming from. I help clients identify and improve their strengths, thinking patterns, and coping skills so they can manage their emotions and lives.

FEMALE TELEHEALTH CLIENTS ONLY! My expertise is in applying evidence-based interventions in a compassionate and non-judgmental context, with respect for each individual's unique circumstances. Together, we will bring to light the strengths that have gotten you through your difficult times, as well as the symptoms or problems you wish to change. I provide both a supportive ear and expert knowledge to help you maintain emotional, physical, relational and spiritual balance as you negotiate complex life changes. I presently work only with women.

Insightful. Experienced. Knowledgeable. Reflective. The search for the right counselor can be a daunting task. When you've found the right professional, you'll know from the feelings of comfort, warmth, and welcome that envelope you. I believe we are all puppets on a string, living this life to learn better ways to love and treat each other with kindness, respect and compassion. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I do believe it all works out in the end, however, it is impossible to do it alone. Together, we can build sessions that inspire, and encourage.

With over 35 years experience I am able to successfully treat numerous diagnoses and life problems, from bipolar disorder, alcohol and other addictive problems to marital counseling. I work with adolescents and adults to help them to remove obstacles from their lives so they can enjoy the most fulfilling life. I love to engage with patients who are interested in the benefits of psychotherapy.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, which means I use a combination of humanistic, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based /contemplative approaches, stress management, and insight oriented techniques-depending on the needs of the client. I understand how critical the relationship between client and therapist is to the success of the therapeutic experience. As such, my hope always is to provide a warm, empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment-one in which my clients will feel safe and encouraged to build trust and work towards self-empowerment. To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach.

Many people wait too long to call a therapist. They are suffering and think things might get better on their own. By waiting people just feel worse or relationship issues become even more complicated. Psychotherapy helps you find new pathways for healing, untangling life's challenges to arrive at greater clarity and peace. I make that process as comfortable as possible by being authentically present, connected, & open. An active listener to the issues you bring forth. It is my goal to establish a collaborative alliance with you so we can enable positive change leading to a deep sense of well being.

I have a very integrative practice, using EMDR with Mindful Awareness in the treatment of trauma. Whether you suffer with symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, or poor self esteem, the EMDR process will help you to go beyond alleviating symptoms and help you to find a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction in the direction of your life. As part of an integrative wellness center, I teach meditation as well as provide psychotherapy. As consciousness evolves and healing occurs, I will help you see how the crisis becomes a doorway for growth beyond what you could have imagined.
