Therapists in Syosset, NY

Everyone's journey through therapy is an individual experience which requires the integration of mind, body and soul. I encourage this type of integrative approach because it allows me to work collaboratively with you, the client, in the assessment, treatment and goal development throughout the entire therapeutic experience. Psycho-dynamic theories, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mind/Body modalities are used in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Spiritual Intuitive. You are stuck. Want to get out of your situation? Crave release of old patterns, feelings, beliefs? Desire to achieve, but can't quite reach what you should be yours, but isn't? To find the answers, explore your own subconscious. You may be holding onto old stuff from your earlier years, or picked up a belief from family, culture, peers, etc. that hinders you in your life today. You desire to be free, to have the burden lifted, to find success. Anger, fear, sadness or lack of Joy bog you down? By going within, you can find all the old issues, and through Intuitive guidance and energy work, Release It All.

We help relationships thrive by healing the hurt that is in the way, so you can enjoy closeness, love, and joyful moments with your family and friends. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD, can cause instability, outbursts, misunderstandings, confusion, mistrust, anxiety, panic attacks, fears, intimacy issues, and intrusive thoughts. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD are successive, treatable, and preventable stages. If trauma has been holding you back from your dreams, we can help you achieve them. If trauma has caused issues in any relationships, we can help you mend them. We can also help you improve the relationship with yourself and your inner world :)

As the world gets more and more complicated so does our ability to manage its day to day stressors. While searching for a therapist I hope you realize that you are not alone. Many of us find ourselves battling depression, anxiety, existential angst, interpersonal problems, trauma, loss and other symptoms related to an increasingly technological society. I see myself as someone who can kindle a light as one navigates such gnarly terrain. My traditional face to face and remote on-line sessions offer, diagnosis, treatment, nonjudgmental support, confidentiality, encouragement, expertise and comfort while you explore new ways to improve the quality of your life.

I have been practicing for over 20 years and have a strong expertise in relationships (couple's therapy, dating, infidelity, relationship conflict, divorce, etc.). I also specialize in anxiety, trauma, addictions and working with high-achieving individuals. My approach involves helping clients develop insight about why they are finding themselves "stuck," while also teaching useful skills that facilitate behavior change; both are crucial for lasting change to occur. Insight provides understanding and self-compassion. Skills help us function better in our day-to-day lives. My approach is empathic, collaborative and practical.

The need to prioritize ourselves and our mental health has never been more important. As someone who has battled with generalized anxiety, OCD, and panic disorder since childhood, I have intimate knowledge of the turmoil and suffering associated with mental health issues and how it can affect every aspect of our life. I’m also aware that our mental health is a journey of growth, which involves a daily commitment to show up for ourselves and do the work in order to craft a healthier mindset. The awareness we might want to speak to someone is the first step in making a change in our lives in order to better ourselves and our health.

I am privileged to provide professional and thorough help to all of my clients. I will meet with you individually in a comfortable setting to talk over what concerns you. We can make a reasonable effective plan for short or longer term therapy; including referral to a specialist service that is based on your individual needs. I am confident that I can move you in the right direction. I believe in the strength of all my clients. I will provide my skills and expertise to reach our identified goals.

There's nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, though I honor if you feel this way. I am passionate about guiding clients to restore their sense of wholeness by releasing the painful emotions/beliefs (some which are subconscious) that are contributing to issues such as anxiety/phobias, depression, harmful and limiting patterns/behaviors, emotional dysregulation, PTSD, feeling stuck/lost, low self-esteem, addiction, chronic pain/illness, etc etc.

Adolescents and young people are creating a bridge for their adult future. I am passionate about guiding this process of transformation for the world’s future. I work with parents, families, children, youth, and adolescents to learn to fully live in the world and to claim a place for each individual for the whole. Gary teaches teens to meet their absolute place in the world. Together I help each adolescent move beyond stuck-ness, anxiety or uncertainty. You may be a parent struggling with your teen’s screen or gaming addiction with no solution. Left alone, it could take years - if ever – for him move to a zest for life.

I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families by creating a positive and caring treatment environment based on specific needs of each client. Using integrative, psychodynamic, CBT and interactive therapeutic methods, I help the client overcome the existing problem, implement behavioral changes, and explore his/her potential more effectively in everyday life. I am working in two locations: in Queens and Manhattan. My both offices is conveniently located in NY and it is easily accessible by public transportation. I have flexible working hours and I am open to scheduling counseling sessions on the weekends and late evenings, as well as any emergency appointments, if needed.

Everyone comes to The Work in their own way, for their own reasons, in their own time. For some, it's a safe space to explore and grow as they need. For others it's a dedicated ear and a mind trained to help them resolve emotional conflicts, stress, anxiety, and depression. Still others long to be seen and embraced (in all of their complexity and nuance). Whatever journey has led you here, my goal is to help you step into the fullness of your Self and live the best life possible.

My clinical work draws from an integrative systemic approach that includes; structural, family of origin, intergenerational trauma transmission, cognition, narrative practice, social justice perspective, experiential, insight oriented, communication skills building, collaborative, and differences in perspective that clients hold about their problem.

I have worked with families, couples and individuals raging from children to the elderly. I have clinical experience with severe mental illness to those experiencing life transitions, relational conflict, grief and loss and issues with self-esteem.
