Career Counseling Therapists in Huntington, NY

Are you ready to start a new chapter of your life? It’s challenging going through life feeling sad, anxious, indecisive, and unbalanced. Sometimes it’s just exhausting and lonely. Whether you want to find happiness again, feel confident, control behaviors, and find your path, it’s possible! I like to think of life as a book. You have pages of experience which influences your life, but you have the ability to turn to a new page and live the life you want. I have helped people with their career path, move towards abstinence from addictive behaviors, and break the cycle of feeling depressed and anxious to fulfillment and confidence.

Much like Irvin Yalom, an American existential psychotherapist, I too believe that therapy must be individually crafted. We each walk a unique path and on it, we need support. I find the most empowering thing about therapy is that you sit in the drivers seat; my job is to help you navigate any obstacles that impede on your ability to live your most authentic life. I take a holistic approach to therapy and am a strong believer in exploring innovative modalities to healing such as mindfulness, somatic work, and creative expression. In our work together, I will always lead with compassion, respect, and understanding.

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.

As a mental health counselor, I create a warm, supportive environment where an individual can express their feelings in detail without feeling judged or criticized. I believe in treatment being tailored to the individuals specific needs. I do this by developing an understanding of your background so I can better assist your present concerns. Specializing in client centered psychotherapy and rational emotive cognitive behavioral therapy, I assist my patients in overcoming obstacles, developing strategies to reach personal goals, and creating effective coping skills to help manage stressful situations.

Our growth brings positive change! Today you are one step closer to a new you as you reach out for support and guidance with the realization that something isn't working effectively in your relationship with yourself and others. In a safe, caring and respectful environment I work with individuals, couples, and families toward creating more fulfilling lives. When we seek compassionate professional help at difficult times in our lives we are valuing ourselves and our relationships so that we can get what we need and deserve.

I am a highly trained clinical psychologist - I work to guide you to solutions for your problems as efficiently and effectively as possible. I customize therapy to best suit my clients by drawing from a variety of cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques. Using these modalities, I provide highly individualized action plans based on collaborative participation in treatment goals to enable my clients to find the best paths to growth, healing, and happiness. I offer services to individuals, couples, and families, for a range of mental health, personal, and professional issues. Please inquire for teletherapy sessions.

Are you anxious more than ever, feeling “off” or “not like yourself” lately, facing relationship issues, or maybe you’re tired of holding everything in and ready to talk to someone? If you answered yes to any, you’ve come to the right place. In our sessions you will find that therapy is a meaningful conversation that takes place in a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgemental space where YOU set the pace and where we can identify conflict and options, make efforts toward self-growth, and pursue paths of change. My goal is to help you uncover your own motivation to change and empower you to be confident in the decisions you make.

I am passionate about relationship dynamics, sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication and intimacy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I counsel individuals, couples and moresomes on creative relationship structures such as consensual non-monogamy. I also work extensively with mood related challenges, including anxiety, depression and OCD, as well as career transitions. As a member of the polyamorous, LGBTQ, and burner communities, I share my extensive personal and professional experience with clients.

My work tends to attract clients who are ready to outgrow old patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion that no longer serve them. The clients I work with have been through pain - like myself - and need someone to help them fully heal, forgive, and pull the greatness from their pain. Such pain may present as depression, anxiety, relational issues, professional stress, lack of fulfillment, anger, etc. Whatever the symptom, we will trace the fruit back to its roots, plant new seeds, starve the old, and grow the new. I LOVE my work and was born to do it. I look forward to laughing, crying, striving, growing, and learning together.

Having a deeper understanding and skill set through my 10+ years of experience, professional training and personal life, I am able to help you overcome various obstacles that have been impacting your life. With our busy schedules, it can be difficult to add another appointment to your hectic calendar. I have found that by specializing in Teletherapy, I have been able to connect with people who were not willing to meet a stranger in an office out of fear, feeling uncomfortable, or too busy with their career , education, family and friends. As long as you are willing to invest in yourself, I will be by your side, STEP BY STEP!

For 25 years, I have been passionately dedicated to helping others just like you. I truly enjoy applying my clinical knowledge, insights, and skills to guide clients through a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, family conflict, divorce, health problems, educational/ career issues, and personal growth. I hope to provide the guidance and tools necessary to help children, teens and adults cultivate insight, resilience, coping skills, value, meaning, purpose, happiness, healing and lasting change in their lives. We are all on a journey and I am honored to walk alongside you as mentor.

I believe therapy is a place where one can facilitate their growth. I am an integrative therapist that uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, which are personalized and tailored to each client. I offer a relaxed, supportive, non-judgmental environment where you will be able to express yourself, explore coping skills and receive positive feedback. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings. I maintain a supportive yet direct approach, in which clients and I jointly identify problems, create goals, and develop a treatment plan to reach those goals.

I like to approach therapy as collaborative detective work, solving the riddles that stand in the way of a happier, calmer, more meaningful life. What are the current issues and past experiences contributing to your distress? How can you attain greater awareness and control over your decisions and behavior? These are the puzzles we'll undertake solving together. Research indicates that the connection between you and your therapist is the paramount factor in predicting therapeutic success. I'm not a passive listener; I provide ample feedback and will approach our work together with respect, curiosity and compassion.

My goal is to create a supportive environment for clients to explore their problems, change unhealthy patterns, and find effective solutions. Healthy relationships where we feel close, connected, and understood by each other are important for overall happiness. Through therapy, I help clients effectively communicate, gain understanding of each other, and move past hurtful experiences. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family conflict. Over the past ten years, I have gained extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families.

Welcome! Today is a really big day for you. You have made the decision to make a change in your life for the better. You are to be congratulated and supported for this. I bet it wasn't easy getting here. Making these changes can get very complicated along the way. Are you ready to take the necessary steps to be the change you are looking for? Do you want to exceed your own expectations in your life? Are you focused, humble and willing to consider the thoughtful input of others in order to achieve your goals? If your answer is "yes" to these questions - then let's begin! One thing to consider... nothing changes if nothing changes.

I am a firm believer that therapy can improve your life if you are ready. Seeking therapy is change. Clients seek treatment for additional support, making choices, resolving family conflict, achieving increased success in their careers or obtaining healthier relationships. My approach is catered to each individual client or family and ranges from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches to solution focused when needed. I am dedicated to helping my clients gain a new perspective and direction in their lives.

I have 45 years of clinical experience, and I have worked with people in all of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual struggles of life. I believe the key is for you to develop the self-help skills of calming your mind and body and directly experiencing your own higher consciousness and purpose in this world. Then you become your own therapist. I know that people are trying to achieve peace, higher consciousness and purpose through micro-dosing, but it can be done naturally with easy-to-learn training. I have written five books and been a teacher to hundreds of health professionals internationally.

Stressful and traumatic events can happen to anyone. We cannot choose their timing or immediate impact on our ability to love, work, parent, or grow. In children, they can cause behavioral, academic, and interpersonal difficulties. Stress can get lodged in our bodies, making it very difficult to “just get over it.” However, even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Making a choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
