Teletherapy for Hastings on Hudson, NY

Congratulations, you've taken the first step toward emotional well-being. Seeking help is a sign of strength. The past few years have been a disorienting and tumultuous time. With recent landmark rulings it doesn't look like it will be getting easier anytime soon. But you don't have to go through it alone. I believe you'll find me empathic, curious and as a client once told me, "You care and you keep it real." I believe this to be true because this is my second career. My life experience has enabled me to walk in many people's shoes. Now I'd like to walk beside you on your journey.

A clinical psychologist with experience in both hospital settings and private practice, I develop a compassionate and non-judgmental rapport with people. The course of treatment is never doctrinaire or pre-determined, but dependent on the patient's temperament, life history and goals. If a patient is seeking treatment that is more ruminative and exploratory: that's fine. If a patient feels that an active and problem solving therapy holds promise, that's fine too. The essential thread, across any particular approach, is to link the narrative of a patient's life to behavioral patterns and improved choices, which reduces anxiety and heightens fulfillment.

You may be visiting out of curiosity, but more likely, you're here because you're troubled. You may be WORRIED about your temper and how it puts your job or marriage at risk. Or DISCOURAGED by a painful loss or breakup. Or STRESSED by the demands of daily life. Whatever led you here, you CAN shape your life more to your liking and move confidently toward what matters to you.

"We can talk it out". I do believe in the talking cure. Once you've shared your problem with me the burden will not be all on you. Life is not easy but having healthy relationships make it all worthwhile. Feeling alone is overwhelming and not necessary when you can get support from your therapist. Let me help you feel better about yourself. Once you feel stronger you will be more confident in your relationships. You cannot change anyone but yourself. I can help you make changes in life that will promote satisfying changes in your relationships

Psychotherapy offers a rather unique opportunity for an individual to get to know themselves better and to lead a more fulfilling life. We all get stuck in old patterns that are frustrating and self-defeating. It is the goal of therapy to unlock these patterns and allow for a new relationship to yourself and others. I love my role as a guide on this path, set by the individual, which clears over time with growing self awareness and agency. I seek to provide warmth, safety, and understanding as we collaborate to resolve the problems that bring someone into treatment.

Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. Unleash the transformative power of self-acceptance and self-care through understanding your values, beliefs, and emotions. Cultivate profound relationships, find purpose, and experience genuine fulfillment. With over 20 years of expertise, I specialize in trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, parenting support, addiction counseling, ADHD, family dynamics, couples therapy, and divorce guidance. Tailored approaches empower you to improve relationships, achieve career success, and enhance self-confidence.

Though people can share similar life experiences the impact of these experiences is unique to each individual. Together we will help you gain insights to how your unique early relationships and experiences are informing your current relationships, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. We will focus on understanding your difficulties, how you protect yourself from painful feelings and how this might be interfering with your relationships and enjoyment of life. We will identify your strengths to guide you towards new ways of coping with stressors and reducing your anxiety and depression. Most importantly you will learn self-compassion.

I am a New York state licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience treating adults with a variety of disorders such as depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. Prior to full-time private practice, I was the director of admissions at the Division of Substance Abuse at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, overseeing admissions at nine clinics serving over 4,000 patients. I recently joined a boutique addiction center in midtown Manhattan called Wholeview.

I am compassionate, approachable and practical, working toward empowering clients to learn healthy coping skills to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. I work collaboratively with individuals, providing a safe and warm environment allowing them to explore issues that may interfere with their daily lives or where they may be feeling stuck. We look at ways of increasing confidence, developing more satisfying relationships, learning new coping skills by exploring possible self defeating patterns and areas for growth.

I believe that by tending to our deepest pains in a nonjudgmental environment where we are truly witnessed, we can adapt and even find the inspiration to embark upon a fulfilling and joyful existence. When you step into my office, know that you can set aside societal pressures to quickly “move on” from your difficult experiences, who or what you have lost, and show up authentically.

In a caring home-office I offer supportive, practical, goal-oriented, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) psychotherapy for accepting and processing what's past and embracing what's next with wisdom and ease. With 25+ years of experience in areas such as: infertility, cancer, health, stress, relationships, divorce mediation, family therapy, meditation and yoga, depression/anxiety and wellness, work/life balance, I have a strong understanding life's transitions, especially with teens, young adults and families. My hours are flexible. The first appointment will be helpful in understanding the client's history and desires and determining if the rapport is comfortable.

Are there areas where you feel stuck? Are there things you want for yourself that feel unattainable? Do you feel misunderstood by most of the people in your life? Have relationships become difficult to manage? As we work together, I will be there to listen and accept different parts of yourself. You will get to know yourself better. We will begin to uncover what is getting in the way.

If you struggle with frequent "what if" thoughts, intrusive thoughts, or feeling like you are always trying to manage or control your anxiety, I want you to know that relief is possible. I specialize in working with teens and adults with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, procrastination, and high-pressure academic or occupational environments. My guess is that if you struggle with these, you have been working very hard to feel better. I would love to work with you to develop new, evidence-backed strategies to respond to your anxiety and find relief.

I help people see and appreciate their strengths. When we are compassionate with ourselves, we discover that even aspects of our personalities that get in our way have developed for good reasons. This understanding tends to quiet our self-criticism, opening the door for creative problem-solving and growth. As Carl Rogers famously said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

I am a NY licensed clinical social worker, business attorney and Buddhist practitioner, with more than 30 years' experience. With a holistic perspective, I use mindfulness, meditation, CBT, DBT and integrative therapies to help you be proactive rather than reactive. I have formal training in mediation, contracts, divorce, family conflict, couples, men's transitions, adolescent development, negotiation and anger management. I have additional training in win-win business structures and entrepreneurial matters, family business conflict, depression, anxiety and the stresses of work, family and life. Hours are flexible

Do you struggle with loss from death, divorce, relocation, aging, illness? Come out of isolation and heal. We will work together to move through your grief and find a resolution for your pain and a return to joyful living. Discover and work through your unfinished business, manage upsetting emotions and bring a balance to your thoughts and feelings. I'm a gestalt therapist, and my methods employ deep listening and creating scenarios to bring your issues to life during our sessions. Compassionate confrontation and education about emotions are central aspects of my work. And safety is my hallmark.

Hello! My name is LeRoy Ennis. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. I know that life can be overwhelming at times and I am here to help you navigate through the different challenges that life can present. I am experienced in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression and phase of life issues. I am certified in DBT and I am trained in Parent Management, TF-CBT. I also hold a post graduate certificate in CBT.

I have enjoyed working with children and adults for over 20 years in clinical and educational settings, including as a faculty member in pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. My therapy sessions respect the unique experience of each family member and help facilitate insight and provide strategies leading to positive change. I work with children and teens with anxiety, social and academic challenges and difficulties with emotion regulation using talk therapy, play therapy, family therapy, and child-parent psychotherapy. I am also a certified trainer in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

Are you a parent, parent-to-be, educator, helping professional, or other kind of leader or caretaker looking for a place to feel heard, explore healthy boundaries, and reduce compassion burnout? Drawing from holistic modalities, I'll support you to build self-compassion and inner safety through dialogue, mindfulness, and education. If you're an expectant parent, we can explore this transformative journey together. I also work with children and teens as a social-emotional mentor. As a coach, I don't diagnose or treat psychiatric conditions, though I'm happy to work alongside a licensed practitioner to offer additional support.
