Addiction Therapists in East Hampton, NY

I offer psychotherapy and addiction counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients from a relational perspective to break old patterns of thinking and behavior that are often ingrained and have become habitual and unfulfilling. These faulty ways of thinking and behaving often result in non productive and sometimes destructive relationships, with ourselves and our partners, as well as the way we see ourselves in the world . I work with my clients to create a new narrative for themselves and to move forward in their lives with integrity and dignity.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.

If you are seeking therapy it means you are wise enough to know you can do something about your problems and brave enough to try. For each person therapy is a unique collaboration. While I use my training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral treatment, and family therapy as guidance, success depends on paying careful attention to a client's personal history, life situation, and current goals. While the past shapes us and is always with us, your "here and now" issues are the focus, as we emphasize and reinforce your strengths while also addressing problems.

As men, many of us have been taught to hold in our feelings… often leading to pent-up anger… too much drinking… acts of rage. We have been taught that talking about feelings is a sign of weakness. In his book, MEN’s LIVES, about the history of fishermen on Long Island’s East End, Peter Matthiessen quotes a young man in 1929, “ … no one could have a happier moment … than to be asked to be one of the boat crew by a captain you had always admired …the honor soon became a reality… the achin, achin of every muscle….. I must endure without a word.”
