Therapists in Central Islip, NY

Having a deeper understanding and skill set through my 10+ years of experience, professional training and personal life, I am able to help you overcome various obstacles that have been impacting your life. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression and addiction. I utilize many effective evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I strongly believe that no two people are identical and customize each treatment plan uniquely with each individual, Step By Step!

For the past 27 years, Dr. Kim Lehnert has been applying Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, trauma, substance abuse, high-functioning autism, eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, and self-harm/suicidal behaviors.

I work with individuals coping with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, stress management, co-occurring disorders, and more.

The long term goal of Calm Seas as a whole is to support our Law Enforcement families from the start of their careers (DAY ONE) until they retire and move into the next phase of their lives. We are here to help through and prevent the long term affects of trauma, addiction, divorce, and suicide.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

I offer Telehealth therapy services to adolescents and adults with a focus on substance use and mental health. I also work with significant others (spouses/partners, siblings, parents etc.) who seek support to cope with a loved one's addiction or mental health. The decision to begin therapy is deeply personal and often comes with much consideration. Choosing to share your story and acknowledge life's challenges takes courage and can be a new beginning for personal growth. I am a person centered Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor who will support you with compassion, dignity and respect.

What if you could walk around this planet with a deep sense (knowing) that everything about you, just as you are, is ok? Truly just fine? You can. Or maybe you're feeling stuck, needing help to galvanize your courage to make a change, to dare to live your very best life? A warm and supportive relationship with the right therapist will help to re-engage and energize your own existing internal resources, the parts of you that are already confident, calm, creative, courageous and compassionate. We can do this work together.

Are you going through a tough time? Are you so full of anxiety that you find it challenging to navigate through the day? Parents, do you have a child that is struggling to focus at school or control their emotions? Are you hesitant to talk to somebody for fear of being judged? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Starting a journey in therapy can be scary, however it might just be the best decision of your life. Through experience, I've come to learn that there is nothing more comforting than hearing the words “I understand, I’ve been there or I can relate.”

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.
