Jewish Therapists in Garden City, NY

You know you're at the right profile if you are thoroughly overwhelmed and are looking for a way out of the rut you're in. You want someone who can help clear the mess in your head and the anxiety, sadness, and frustration that go with it. I can help you get out of this funk. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I offer quality psychotherapy to help define and explore your problems, clarify and set your goals, and stay on course to achieve them. I will provide you with the tools to cope with the obstacles that you face.

I believe everyone should have someone they can talk to, whether about life's most difficult issues, or the simplest ones. That's what I am here for; someone to listen and help work through whatever challenges life brings.

My main goal as a therapist is to make myself unneeded. I will achieve this together with you by facilitating behavioral change for you and improving your ability to both establish and maintain relationships. We will work in sync to enhance your effectiveness and ability to cope. And our work together will help promote your decision-making process while boosting your potential. We will assess our success together by looking at a few different aspects of your life. For example: We will look for improvements in your moods and emotions have improved. Do you feel happier if you enter therapy for depression or sadness?

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

As humans, we have seasons in our lives when we are lost or in pain. If you are overwhelmed with anxiety, stuck in unhelpful patterns or finding it hard to get through the day to day - why go it alone? I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy. As a psychologist, I see my clients as partners in the process of healing. I respect the wisdom that you bring into the room, your understanding of yourself and your history - as well as the pieces of yourself that you find difficult to understand. I aim to build on this insight and to utilize my expertise to help you live your best life.

Is anxiety keeping you up at night? Stress taking a toll on you? Perhaps you're struggling with self esteem? Or maybe you're facing a challenge with career, a relationship, or a loss? Looking for support is smart. You don't have to keep trying to resolve this alone. I work with adults in NY & NJ struggling with anxiety, stress, self esteem, and life transitions (such as grief, breakup, parenting stages, etc). I specialize in working with young adults and the unique challenges they face finding independence and fulfillment. This can include issues related to self-discovery, college/grad school, work, relationships & family dynamics.

Life can throw you off track and finding support can be a way of regaining control. Whether you are struggling in a relationship, worried about your future, or stuck in your past...you deserve to be happy in your present!

With so much hardship and turmoil in our society, you may feel like you are not only trying to care for yourself but you find yourself caring for others. You put others' needs ahead of your own and are faced with blocks on how to ask for help. It may feel scary to ask for what you need, what you want, or explain what is bothering you. You don’t have to create these skills alone. I connect with individuals who are ready to change how they advocate for themselves in their day-to-day lives.

Sometimes we just need someone to help us through the hard times. You may be struggling with an issue that's been on your mind or impacting your life for a while. Perhaps you've experienced loss, or a key relationship has changed. Maybe you're anxious about going back to work in person, or about children returning to school. Or feeling sad but can't figure out exactly why. If you've tried endlessly to remove the obstacles that keep you stuck, attempted but failed to learn new ways of dealing with relationships, or have problems that seem too difficult to change on your own, then perhaps together we can find a better way.

Sometimes you wonder: Wasn't I supposed to be happy by now? When did life get so tough? PTSD and trauma make it hard to cope, while depression and anxiety rob you of the joy you deserve in life. There may be loss, and the heavy weight of grief. Or betrayal by a trusted one, such as a parent, friend, or partner. The hurt and shame that often plague survivors can shatter relationships, jobs, and happiness. Lack of understanding by those closest to you leaves you feeling alone and isolated.

I'm here to listen and provide guidance to help you process the issues you're going through. I've had experience with a host of issues, from anxiety to PTSD, and want to give you the clarity that experience brings. Your feelings, and the things you are struggling with are important. I specialize in adults with anxiety disorders, couples counseling, and LGBTQ+ issues, though I've had years of working with many other disorders. Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest, but contacting me will start the path to recovery and progress.

Trying your best? Taking good care of your emotional well being, is almost as important as your body. Are you motivated to change and grow? You need the right person to help you reach your goals? I practice what I preach. “See me”and “hear me”. “Make it safe”. Often this is the beginning of what is missing in relationships. It's hard to ask for help. Being in a relationship is tricky. I appreciate people who are brave to say: "I need help with my life.", "I want to change my life.", & "I am unhappy.". I can help transform your hopes into action. You CAN change your life....if you have the will and desire to do so.
