Psychodynamic Therapists in Farmingville, NY
My understanding of people is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory; since there is no one-size-fits-all type of treatment, I gear my approach to the needs of each patient when we first meet, then adjust as he, she, or they progress.
My patients are adult individuals and couples with diverse backgrounds and varied needs. They represent every gender, orientation, and identification. I work with patients experiencing a wide array of symptoms and issues, ranging from mild concerns through catastrophic symptoms. People of all ethnicities, faiths, races, belief systems, and cultures are welcome in my (virtual) practice; all can expect to find respect, genuine caring, palpable empathy, dignity, collaborative treatment. Many concerns can be resolved effectively via virtual/remote treatment, but if you require in-person care, I will help with a referral (for now).

I believe there is strength to be found in our weaknesses, love to be found through our pain, and light after our darkest days. The pain of healing comes with the self-awareness that otherwise may be over looked. When it becomes more painful to stay in our past then it is scary to step out of it is when the journey begins. I walk beside my clients, not in-front or behind. I remain steady and follow their lead. I provide the safety and hope that everyone needs to face their pain, to feel their pain, and to keep going anyway.

In the last few years, we have all had to manage our lives in addition to the added stress and anxiety brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic. From my 10 years of experience working in residential, outpatient therapy clinics, and lastly, nursing homes during COVID-19, it became clear to me that this pandemic was going to lead to an additional crisis. A mental health crisis. So many have felt the need to be strong and carry on and now that we are moving forward, the mental health toll remains. I started this telehealth private practice in order to provide psychotherapy services to all those who need it and to provide easy access.

My therapeutic style consists predominantly of a focus in Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
Do you struggle with symptoms of anxiety or depression? Have you found yourself arguing with loved ones about the same thing over and over again, feeling like a broken record?

While these difficulties can seem relentless, that pain is temporary. You don't have to suffer permanently, with the right approach you can begin to heal sooner than later.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
