Couples Counseling Therapists in Commack, NY

It can be difficult to find a therapist that you can connect with and confide in. I became a therapist to help adolescents, teens, and adults to navigate through life’s many demands. I routinely counsel individuals and groups struggling with various degrees of depression, anxiety, phobias, lack of motivation, ADHD, and bereavement. I also help couples overcome marital problems as they struggle to improve their relationships. Life’s challenges can be daunting. Together we can build on your strengths and provide a safe and supportive environment to enable you to reach your goals.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression or are seeking guidance in a challenging relationship , I can help you attain the understanding, insight, and skills needed to make positive changes in your life. Through our work together, you will learn why you have been thinking and feeling the way you do, as well as how to make the necessary changes to feel better. Within a short amount of time, many of my clients learn powerful tools to help them respond and cope with life's enormous challenges. As your therapist, I will ensure that you experience personal growth, and improve your overall ability to lead a happier life.

We take the greatest pride in ensuring that no individual is left stranded without access to care by always responding to new patient inquiries immediately and accommodating the financial needs of our clients.  The well-being of our clients and the individuals of the communities we serve are our top priority.  No person should have to be without a supportive professional when they find themselves in a situation where reaching out for help is of the utmost importance. 

My ideal client is a person who wants to be empowered to change their life through counseling and education. The issues I am best suited to treat are addictions, codependency, stress management, self esteem, and difficult life transitions.

Seeking therapy or counseling can be overwhelming. But reaching out for support in life can also lead to positive change. Counseling is essentially geared towards reducing your symptoms of distress while building your capability to handle life's inevitable demands and anxieties. No one can change what they have experienced in the past nor change things out of their control. However, every individual can work towards a better understanding of themselves while learning coping strategies for managing challenge and change.

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.
