Teletherapy for Harrison, NY

Now Accepting New Clients- Working together in a safe and judgement free space, we can navigate through situations and events in your life that may be creating stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, and maybe even a level of sadness. As a Mental Health Counselor, my practice is to work with you addressing your goals and navigating life challenges. I know at times it may feel hard and even impossible but with consistent therapy sessions your goal is achievable.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York, offering comprehensive psychological services for children, adolescents, and adults. I am committed to helping people struggling with a variety of individual, family, and relationship difficulties. Because an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, my approach involves collaboratively helping clients achieve healthy change in all three areas. I also firmly believe that a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental approach is critical for therapeutic success. In my practice, evaluations, psychotherapy, and psychological testing are provided in a professional, confidential and comfortable environment.

Dr. Lividini Loiacono exercises a personalized and collaborative approach in her private practice in order to best support clients and their families in their daily life. She works 1-on-1 with the client as well as incorporates input from parents, teachers, professors, school-based and private service providers, and analysis of assessment data. This comprehensive approach and thorough evaluation provides the framework for the implementation of appropriate and targeted interventions. Ultimately the client is equipped with individualized tools and strategies to foster increased success.

You deserve the right provider for mental health treatment.  I'm an experienced psychologist who can clarify your issues and goals. Together as partners we develop a custom treatment plan for your unique needs. My approach is supportive and goal directed, gentle and pragmatic. Using your own strengths, we explore  alternative ways of thinking and acting that let you gain insight and function more effectively.  Each therapy session is clearly focused, so that real change happens quickly. With humor and patience, I teach coping skills that help you develop healthier habits, reduce your distress and feel better about yourself.

I thoroughly enjoy working with my clients and building a strong therapeutic alliance with them is of the utmost importance to me. I provide treatment to children, teens and adults and see couples and families. I maintain a private practice in Harrison, NY and do teletherapy (www.michellemaidenberg.com). I am also the Co-Founder/Clinical Director of "Thru My Eyes" a nonprofit organization which offers free videotaping to chronically medically ill individuals who want to leave video legacies for their children & loved ones.

Are you spending your days hurting emotionally and confused about how to cope? Do you feel alone even if you're with others, that nobody seems to understand you or your pain, uncomfortable sharing your feelings out of concern for what others might think or because you don’t want to burden them? Do you judge yourself, standing in your own way to make peace with yourself?

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who is trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I aim to foster positive change and improve overall mental health and well-being using evidence based interventions. Collaboratively, we will work to identify specific goals and create an individualized treatment plan to address your needs.

I take pride in not being a “robotic” therapist. I personally believe being asked question after question will ultimately shut down a client and possibly worsen their anxiety about therapy or in general. I am able to effectively work on all issues while creating a comfortable and laid back environment for all my clients where they do not feel pressured. However, I will appropriately challenge you if I am observing oppositional tendencies, which are hurting your treatment goals; do not be nervous about being challenged, change and improvement require being challenged and getting out of your comfort zone!

I am honored when my clients tell me that sessions together just feel "real!" I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with expertise in clinical and diagnostic assessments, resilience training, and CBT.I specialize in treatment of adolescence and emerging adults as well as family therapy. I offer a supportive and safe space to discuss any wide range of issues that are currently impacting you or your loved one's quality of life.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space for people to explore the depths of their emotions, thoughts and feelings. Using supportive reflection and a strengths-based perspective, I approach each situation with empathy.

Struggling in a relationship that is important to you? Feeling stuck in a rut? Feeling overwhelmed and alone? I believe that within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship, individuals and couples can learn, heal and grow. I offer clients a safe place to express and explore their thoughts and feelings. Together, we work as a team to uncover the longstanding patterns that are keeping you from having what you desire most. Clients are given support and guidance as they begin to experiment with new ways of being with themselves and others.

Reaching out for help, especially in stressful times, takes courage. And finding a therapist you can open up to is important. One of my strengths is providing a judgement-free, compassionate space for you to share your feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams. Together, we are identifying and exploring obstacles and patterns, often that we all experience as human beings, without knowing why. I think every person is an individual and unique in his/her/their own way. I have both clinical and life experience to help with stressors related to life transitions, relationships, family issues, and work.

Do you notice struggling with anxiety and physical discomfort that affects your ability to get through the day and enjoy life? Do you feel overwhelmed by socializing, getting work complete, and feeling distracted by racing thoughts? Have you hoped for these feelings to pass so you can claim your life back? Now more than ever, individuals are feeling anxious about the decisions they have to make, how to manage relationships, and finding a sense of peace in their lives. I want you to know that healing is very much possible, even if you are feeling stuck.

I have a profound understanding of the transformative power embedded within relational dynamics. Early in my educational voyage, I immersed myself in family systems, unveiling the unique potency residing in healing connections. I find a special resonance in my work with couples and families, crafting an integrative approach to relational healing. I use an integrative approach to relational healing drawing upon the wisdom of John and Julie Gottman, Esther Perel and Terry Real among others. I emphasize the roles of trauma and adversity in understanding the human experience.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, BPD, suicidal ideation or have been a victim of domestic violence? I have experience coordinating crisis interventions and employing Dialectical Behavior Therapy with patients who harm others or themselves, and particularly those who have experienced violence within their family network. I believe that the behaviors we display are part of a larger function, and collectively comprise the larger tapestry of the human experience, while also acknowledging the uniqueness to each human as they make their way through life.
