Seeking therapy can feel intimidating and daunting, but once established it can be enlightening and rewarding.

I can start explaining a little about myself.  How I like to work.  The last years, I've been working with a mixture of individuals using primarily psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and CBT techniques.  I like to work with a small number of patients often over a period of time. So no quick fixes here. And if, after this initial session, you decide to move forward, we should aim to meet at this time and this location each and every week. The purpose, or the aim, is to create a time and a space which is entirely yours, week on week.

Are you tired of letting fear, anxiety and insecurity intrude in your life? Do you often feel alone? Maybe you are struggling with a specific issue, or just simply want to grow and improve. Whatever brought you here, please use this page and/or my website (www.alperinpsychology.com) to help you decide if it makes sense to call me.

Hi, most people we work with are seeking therapy to develop insight, and coping skills during challenging times in their life, so as to reach their full potential. We can create a secure, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space for you to strengthen your relationship with self and others.

I am a licensed therapist and certified Life Coach. I am a compassionate counselor who supports each person I work with as they journey on their road to self discovery. I use a holistic approach utilizing mindfulness, relaxation and visualization. I stress self awareness and finding balance in one's life as key factors to mental health. The mind is a very powerful tool with the ability to transform our lives. I have worked extensively with a variety of mental and emotional disorders including anxiety, depression and trauma. I have 25 years experience working with individuals affected by chemical addiction.

So many of us have extraordinary potential. If you have come across my profile, you may be hoping to maximize your own potential, or that of someone you love and care about. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, and I work with individuals of all ages. I help people gain insight into themselves and change for the better. It can be difficult to reach out for help. Hopefully, this can be your first step in improving your emotional health and wellbeing.

I am a firm believer in the Strengths Based Approach. That each individual no matter their past history or trauma, has the ability to overcome, learn, strive and succeed with the right support and resources.

Working with a therapist that you trust can be a life changing experience. Are you having problems with a relationship or work, financial stress, substance abuse or another addiction? Or are you anxious, sad, or overwhelmed? Things can get better. One of my clients told me that my office was a sacred space. In this environment you may feel free to truly express yourself and face the problems that are bothering you. Some of my work has been with people who were in unhealthy relationships or exposed to trauma in their early years.

Letapel Inc. provides therapy services for people of all ages. We provided home visits (now suspended), as well as teletherapy. Give us a call and we will see if we can help.

Life can certainly be a struggle at times. Aging, whether you are just beginning to feel it or you have been moving through it for some time, is hard. Feelings of loss, depression, anger, shame, guilt and/or anxiety can waylay us and make it difficult to cope. Problems with independence, relationships, family conflicts, health issues, professional work and grief from loss can all be overwhelming. Exploring these issues in a safe, supportive environment can be helpful. By understanding what is triggering these feelings and developing tools to assist in coping, things can be less difficult and enjoyable again.

Do you experience the blues, anger, anxiety? Lost pleasure in things you usually enjoy? Feeling hopeless/helpless, misunderstood, mistreated, abandoned, alone? Stuck in your career, in your relationships, lost? My approach is supportive and Insight driven. I encourage clients to express their feelings, supporting them in a judgement free zone. In a warm environment you'll feel supported, appreciated, validated. I teach you assertiveness skills and anger management so you can advocate for yourself. I'll underline maladaptive patterns, helping you change them. I'll empower you to regain your footing. Together we'll discover a more tolerable existence.

I focus on working towards goals, having control over strong feelings, recognizing triggers and properly dealing with them, improving confidence, revisiting the past and heal from it, working on altering destructive behaviors, building relationship skills, and working towards rebuilding bonds with others. I hope people can forgive or accept themselves as they are, be empowered to face and overcome their challenges in their lives with confidence, change their lives, and cultivate a more meaningful life through effective and collaborative counseling.

Helping couples, period. That is my passion & the entire focus of my training, research & expertise. Are you married, but feeling alone? Is your spouse emotionally checked out? Are you unsure whether your relationship is worth fighting for? Have you been cheated on? This is where I use 40+ years of scientific research by Dr. John Gottman to help couples completely rebuild their love. My clients are intelligent, married, working professionals, who appreciate that I can pinpoint the underlying areas that need work and map out a plan to help them get there. (These may include trust, commitment, conflict, trauma, intimacy & more).

I also use Motivational Interviewing techniques to help you to achieve desired goals.
