Adults Therapists in Bohemia, NY

Sometimes painful life events can damage your ability to have healthy relationships, and a fulfilling life. You don't have to be crippled by anxiety, anger, fear, shame, and intrusive negative thoughts. These symptoms can destroy relationships and isolate you, limiting your ability to feel safe and calm in any environment. Our goal is to help you move past these events, reclaim your life, and feel happy again.

You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself or others, or just stuck in life. Navigating through these thoughts and feelings on your own can be difficult, and I am here to help. I want to help you to learn how to cope with all that life may throw at you. Therapy can be a good way to help ground yourself, challenge negative thoughts, and learn the skills you need to live a life you can feel proud of. I will provide a safe space to heal, explore, learn new skills, and receive support. It is my goal to help you reach your own personal goals.

Taking care of ones mental health is one of the greatest forms of self-care. During these difficult times life can get in the way of accomplishing our goals. When we are not at our best it’s difficult to enjoy life. The majority of my work has been focused on cognitive behavioral (CBT) and strength based therapy with adolescents and adults . I’ve treated individuals struggling with various needs; adjustment disorder, loss, trauma, psychosis, separation/divorce and family conflict.

I help individuals who have experienced trauma reclaim their lives. Trauma can take many forms whether it be: witnessing/experiencing domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, community violence or tragic loss of a loved one- to name a few. For many, the end result is flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, irritability, low-self-esteem and feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. My clients have seen and been through some serious stuff. Despite being determined, caring and hard-working, they feel like they cannot get back to life before what happened- well happened.

My treatment is rooted in the belief that all clients deserve a supportive and non-judgmental therapist, who can assist them to heal during times of difficulty and equip themselves with positive and effective coping skills to face future challenges while expanding one’s window of tolerance. I work from a place of acceptance and patience by using a person-centered integrated approach tailored to each client’s needs and goals. I take pride in providing a collaborative and effective therapeutic alliance and understand that the client is the expert of their own experiences.

Depression sucks. The lack of motivation, apathy, fatigue, sleep difficulties, irritability and chronic negative voice that just won’t seem to go away. If you are struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harming thoughts and are struggling to find hope, I’m here to say you are not alone and you can feel better. I help adolescents and adults who experience depressive symptoms, including suicidal thoughts, to learn how to alleviate these thoughts and/or healthily cope with them. As a person who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, I look forward to giving back and helping others work through their struggles.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward wellness! My approach to therapy is to create a supportive, empathetic and collaborative relationship that will meet your counseling goals. I believe in tailoring a treatment plan that fits the needs of each client. This is accomplished by creating short and long term goals and incorporating several therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and psycho-dynamic techniques to facilitate growth and wellness.
