Therapists in East Islip, NY

Sometimes life throws us off the path we wanted to walk down, but it is never to late to change the direction of our path. It is important to take time to explore our thoughts as they are directly correlated to how we feel on a daily basis. I share with my clients that we need to start by managing your emotions, so they do not manage you. When we learn to have all three; positive thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we begin to see the change that we have been looking for. During our time together my goal is to help you process your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in order for you to walk down the path of your choice.

As a clinical social worker, I know the relationship between client and therapist is the most important aspect of treatment. I provide a safe, trusting, supportive and nonjudgmental environment where together we can explore and work on reaching your goals. My passion is helping adults find relief from feeling stuck, depressed or anxious and who are searching for fulfillment and happiness. I am also dedicated to helping teens navigate the difficulties of adolescence.

You wish your spouse knew how to love you the way you want to be loved. Over the last year, the stress on your marriage has led you to a breaking point. Everyone in your house has been working and learning from home, crammed in on top of each other. All the normal outlets for fun have vanished. Meanwhile, communication between you and your spouse has hit an all-time low. Every morning, you politely tiptoe around each other in the kitchen, performing a ballet of indifference as you navigate the tense silence that’s taken root between you. The hurt and resentment keep piling up. The stage is set for another explosion.

In life, sometimes the first step is the hardest step to take, and I applaud you for having the courage to do so. It is my passion and purpose to help my clients gain insight of how their negative feelings and beliefs have led to unhealthy choices and decisions. Throughout our counseling relationship, I will provide you a safe, comfortable, and fully confidential space for you to let your guard down and communicate your thoughts and feelings, free of judgement. Together, we will explore the ways that you can achieve personal growth, reach your goals, and build a more authentic, fulfilling life.

There are times in life where you may feel unequipped to deal with life's challenges, where you find old solutions and coping strategies do not solve the problem anymore, and may be in need of a different perspective. Therapy can be a wonderful resource for clients to get to know themselves better, adapt healthier coping skills and reach their goals and full potential to live a more fulfilling life. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for clients to feel secure and supported on their journey towards self-fulfillment.

Hi! I'm Emma Press, a Trained Mental Health Counselor focusing on treating children, adolescents, and young adults. First, I congratulate you for taking the first steps of entering therapy, as this alone may be an intimidating process for many. For my clients, my primary concern is to ensure a warm and safe space to heal and process what has led them to enter therapy. My mission for ALL my clients is to maintain a level of inherent comfort and to develop a close clinical relationship to ensure progress and growth throughout the entire therapeutic process. I look forward to potentially working with you and helping you heal.

Many adults feel pressured to have all of the answers when faced with life’s problems. We can find ourselves in a place where coping strategies just aren’t working. Some fear being a burden on others, so they keep their struggles mostly to themselves, despite the pain they’re experiencing. Imagine if you could learn coping skills that actually improved your situation? Imagine if you could feel comfortable sharing your struggles with trusted individuals, instead of keeping them bottled up inside? There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you, which will help you think and feel differently.

Every client is different, I work hard to establish individualized plans of care. My approach is client-centered, as I am of the belief that all people have the capacity to help themselves. When working with a couple, my approach is to assist in helping to identify patterns of communication and behavior that couples are typically not conscious of and are generally unproductive in a relationship. This begins with my view that regardless of what is going on, both individuals are contributing towards how things currently are. If both individuals are motivated towards improving the relationship, success is guaranteed.

There are times in life when it may feel like your world is falling apart, but it is in those moments that you have the ability to pick up the pieces and build something much greater than you could have ever imagined. I believe that people can transform their mindset and create the life they want to live by utilizing the strengths they have within.

Too often in life, it seems as though the struggles we face are going to overwhelm us. Too often we feel as though the very people who should be our support system are either failing us, or are part of the problem. My aim during therapy is to create a safe and secure environment in order to help clients reach their goals and learn healthier ways of interacting with people and world. Life isn't always fair, and it isn't always easy; but it can be better. Therapy can be an important factor in reaching that potential.
