Attachment-based Therapists in Huntington, NY

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with adolescents and adults. People choose to work with me for my honest, non-judgmental communication style. I work to create an environment for self-exploration and personal growth to take place.

Often times the most challenging periods of life are when we are in transition. Perhaps you are just beginning college and are feeling overwhelmed at all the new expectations, social dynamics, freedom and responsibilities. Maybe you are about to graduate and the uncertainty of what come next feels daunting or paralyzing. Or, are you pregnant or newly postpartum? Becoming a parent is one of the most emotion-filled and life changing transitions an individual makes in their life. How do you find yourself coping through these times? Are you able to make room for the entire spectrum of feelings that are a part of the journey?

As a therapist focused on achieving results, my goal is to help you uncover your true 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 more fulfilling and meaningful life, and replace them with effective and results-oriented skills and tools that enable you to achieve your goals.

Welcome. Live! Love! Dream! Enjoy life! My name is Risa Levenson, Ph.D. and I am a licensed psychologist, hypnotist, and reiki healer. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and enjoy using hypnosis to assist my clients in achieving their goals/dreams. Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. I truly enjoy and get great pleasure from watching my clients accomplish their goals and achieve what they want out of life. I believe positive words create positive outcomes. We all need to be nicer to self and treat self as you would a best friend. Be kind.

Everybody goes through difficult seasons in their lives. Therapy is a process of learning and growth to help us to overcome the challenges that we experience, whether they’re from trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, failure or interpersonal conflict. I work primarily with adults and some adolescents and have over 7 years of experience working with clients from highly diverse backgrounds.

Whether it’s handling family conflict, anxiety and depression, child behavioral issues and sleep training, or simply trying to find a work/life balance, I’m here to help. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist & Parent Educator who specializes in working with adults and adolescents to find better clarity in your life. This clarity will ultimately help you to improve upon the relationship you have with yourself, and with others. My goal is to empower my clients as they deal with life's challenges.

Are you a parent feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Feeling like you just can't get yourself organized and questioning your ability to care for your family? Being a parent and running a household is not easy and we are never given any great advice or guidance along the way. I specialize in working with both parents and children. Therefore, I am able to help parents regain control with their children and their household. If you're ready to stop feeling burnout at the end of the day, I am here to help.

Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Are you being pulled by competing priorities or desires that are making it difficult to feel satisfied?

I provide a safe, caring environment for my clients where we work together to build a mutually respectful and trusting relationship. My job is to help remove the obstacles in your way so self-realization can take place.

When you find the right therapist, therapy can be a unique and rewarding experience. It can allow you to explore things that occurred in your life, and better understand how they are presently impacting you. It can also help you learn how to change patterns so that moving forward you can live a more fulfilling life. I am a therapist that will listen to your needs, meet you where you are at, and work with you in an individualized way to make progress toward your personal goals.

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.

Life can be challenging and there may be times when you feel too stressed, too overwhelmed, or too defeated to see that you can work things out and be hopeful and happy again. Or life events happen that throw you off course and make you question your coping skills. Or it may feel like relationships, career directions, or school aspirations aren’t as successful or as rewarding as you would like. While it can be difficult to reach out for support, taking that leap to accept help is a step towards hope, healing, connection and strength.

Whether you are facing 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 relationship, 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 with clients from all ages, including families and couples, and am trained in several evidence-based treatment modalities, which I incorporate in my practice as needed.

Most people seek my help for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Anxiety can be caused by such things as illness, sexual and/or physical abuse, relationship problems, career disappointments or trauma experienced in childhood. The world generally does not feel safe for someone who is experiencing anxiety. Depression is often a result of feeling powerless to create possibilities for personal growth and happiness. Negative self talk co-exists with depression coloring what one does with a sense of not being good enough. I can help you discover new perspectives and possibilities empowering you to create the life you want.
