Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Bohemia, NY

Everyone has the power to create change in their life, sometimes we just need a little help to get there. Whether you are struggling life challenges, going through a rough patch, or have a goal in mind but are experiencing roadblocks, you do not have to go through it alone. My own mental health journey has given me understanding and empathy towards how difficult it can be to struggle mentally and emotionally. In my practice, I have worked with ages ranging from 5-65. I am certified in treating anxiety disorders in children and adolescents. Also, I am a certified yoga/meditation instructor, which I implement into my work.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and general mental health. I am passionate about working with adults and children on an individual basis, using an eclectic therapeutic approach. I hope that my collaborative, empathetic, and trauma-informed perspective will support people in achieving their goals.

If you are struggling with addiction, lack of motivation, coping skills, and relationship complications then True Inspiration Counseling is where you need to be. I can provide you with a client centered approach as well as strength based perspectives to help you throughout your recovery process.

Through therapy, my hope is to build a trusting partnership with you — one where we explore the best path forward together. I hope to provide a warm, empathic, supportive, non-judgmental, and safe space to explore the depth of your inner truth and help you actualize the life you envision for yourself. Together, we will explore past experiences, including family dynamics and your early life to provide insight into how you can cope with issues impacting you most now. I have found that, oftentimes, we are more resilient than we believe we are. My job is to support you as you harness that strength and find hope again.

Your life is an ongoing journey and it's time to make yourself a priority. Are you not living the life you dreamed of? Or do you often feel frustrated that your relationships, home life, and career are less than satisfying? Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from feeling happier, more confident, and in control of your future? We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. Its rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. I can help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Perhaps you're looking to take steps towards healing, but are unsure where to start.

Life can feel unmanageable at times, with obstacles such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. However, I can help you process and grow through the trials and tribulations of life, and learn to love yourself again.

I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards healing, change and acceptance. Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be that way. As a prospective client I want to partner with you in your journey of self- reflection; affirming and knowing that you have made the best possible investment into yourself. I work with individuals (adults and teenagers), as well as couples. During therapy I work with clients collaboratively to build healthy coping mechanisms, learning how to deal with life’s stressors.

Hello and welcome! I work with individuals and couples who want to make a change in their daily lives. Our time together will consist of identifying and processing emotional difficulties, working towards achieving the ability to be open and honest, and to feel more comfortable by taking it one day at a time. I use a gentle approach to challenge our thoughts, and anxieties while learning to be supportive of ourselves. Our time together will assist in addressing hardships, self-doubt, intrusive thinking, and working on the relationship with the self to build a happier, healthier version of you.

As a first generation US born Latinx female, I️ understand the complexities of life both lived and learned.

I subscribe to a 'relevant to the patient' technique, and I draw from the following treatment modalities of therapy; Humanistic Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gestalt Therapy.
