Attachment-based Therapists in Huntington, NY

My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space for children and adults who are facing emotional challenges from current or past experiences. While I specialize in child trauma interventions, I also work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or who are curious about the exploration of the self, by examining relational patterns, defense mechanisms, and unconscious processes.

I fundamentally believe in the connection between the mind and body, and work from a client-centered, somatic approach. Through therapy, we'll explore your history, nervous system, and relationship to your body. With intentional work, we'll get a better understanding of your unique experience, patterns that your nervous system engages in, and how to learn and unlearn new ways of knowing.

There is nothing more powerful than the resilience of the human spirit and I think we sometimes lose sight of that, during different periods of our lives. I consider it a privilege to share the journey with you as you regroup, refocus and renew your commitment to yourself and your life. Together, we can shed light on unhealthy behavior patterns that no longer serve you and create new ones that allow you to build the life you want for yourself.

Mental health is an integral part of our overall wellbeing that too often goes overlooked until we find that it cannot be ignored anymore. Our bodies and minds have special ways to clue us in to the need for change. This can include negative relationship patterns, constant states of low mood, physical complaints, feelings of anxiety and depression, feeling stuck or blocked from pursuing goals or even just a general sense of feeling off. Together we will determine what is standing in the way of you reaching your desired goals or from living out your perception of a full life.

Whether you are facing trauma, stress, and adversity, or seeking help with personal growth, your mental health is your strongest ally in moving forward. Through creating a supportive and understanding therapeutic environment, I will help you face the challenges that you are experiencing, identify clear and attainable goals for yourself, and improve your life and relationships with others. I have worked extensively in the field of trauma, complex trauma, and moral injury, and am trained in several evidence-based treatment modalities, which I incorporate in my practice as needed.

Often times the most challenging periods of life are when we are in transition or beginning a new chapter. Are you a young adult, maybe beginning college or not sure of next steps to take. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed at all the new expectations, social dynamics, freedom and responsibilities. Parenthood is another huge life transition. Perhaps you are pregnant, newly postpartum or your child is going through a difficult time? Anxiety & depression are common feelings during such times. How are you coping? I would love to help you explore and grow as you move through this moment in your life!

As a therapist focused on achieving real and lasting results, my goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a life that is fulfilling, effective and happy. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life from the past and present. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will together change negative behavior patterns and negative beliefs that are holding you back from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life, and replace them with and results-oriented skills and tools that enable you to achieve your goals.

I believe in identifying and integrating those techniques that fit your individual needs. I ask that you do the best you can to express your goals, your concerns, your hopes and your dreams. I will work to understand you, help you understand yourself better, and explore your relationships. Together we will find or unlock the steps to help you meet your individual goals, and/or resolve conflicts in relationships. My approach is strength based. I believe that your decision to come to treatment reflects a readiness to tap into a basic human process that strives for health and growth.

As your therapist, I want nothing more than for you to feel safe & comfortable & will work with you to explore your past, present, and future self. Finding a therapist who can meet your needs, bring calm & purpose to your life, can be challenging, and many times feel overwhelming. As such, I want to applaud you for taking these vital first steps in bringing therapy into your life. Being part of someone's journey to self-realization & healing is both an honor and a privilege that I do not take lightly. I will teach you how to separate yourself from the problem(s) you are experiencing in order to work through them.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed, and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to also factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.

Do you feel exhausted by your emotions? Do you struggle to express what your feeling without causing problems in your relationships and day-to-day life. I work in a group practice and we specialize in working with individuals who struggle to manage their emotions. They may feel angry often which results in arguing and fighting with loved ones. They may feel like their moods are always up and down and at times can feel really depressed. I help my clients learn ways to balance their emotions and express their frustrations/needs more effectively.

I am Bilingual/Bicultural and have over 28 years experience treating Individuals and Couples. Conflicts impeding communication and resolution of self-destructive behaviors are typical concerns raised in therapy. Clients often are looking for new strategies to help cope with life's changing circumstances and to remove obstacles preventing growth. To explore these issues, a safe and confidential environment must be established. I am dedicated to working with care, compassion and respect for my clients throughout the therapeutic process.

Are you struggling with the painful remnants of a recent break up, seeking to put an end to unhealthy relationship patterns and/or facing difficult childhood experiences holding you back from moving forward? Perhaps you're worried about seeking therapy due to cultural stigma or finding yourself at odds with cultural expectations placed on you by society? Born in India, raised in New York, I recognize the unique pressures and conflicts faced by individuals caught between two seemingly opposing cultural identities. I utilize a multicultural lens that provides a safe space to explore these internal and external sources of tension.

You have taken an important first step towards making positive and lasting change for yourself and your family. Using a safe and supportive approach I can help your child work through difficulties and experience more joy and connection.
