Grief Therapists in Huntington, NY

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.

I have been in practice for over 28 years. My practice specializes in anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, phobias, and "life issues." I see people dealing with bereavement , adoption issues, relationship issues, work problems & health issues, such as cancer. I work with people of different ages/stages: Young adults, mid-life and senior citizens.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, work- related difficulties, relationship or family problems, or dealing with loss , I can help you. My office is a safe, comfortable place to talk and learn about yourself.

My practice is gentle and focused on supporting you in helping yourself. I do not diagnose or label. Instead, I am only concerned with what happened, and how to help you figure out where to go from here. Maybe you feel stuck and unsure how to navigate a life transition or adjustment. I have assisted hundreds of clients and families on a spiritual journey of recovery from addiction, codependency, trauma and grief . I offer supportive counseling and empowerment by promoting self-help and self-compassion.

Times of transition can often cause us to feel overwhelmed and alone. While people close to us may be supportive, we may not always feel able to share with them our doubts and discomfort. Having an empathic therapist who can objectively help us navigate the journey is invaluable. My work with clients who have struggled with depression and anxiety, survived trauma or grief , or experience the world as LGBTQ+ identified people is strengths-based, person-centered, and results-oriented.

When a client finally comes to terms with accepting help in a situation that is no longer working for them, they want to be treated with compassion and understanding. I strive to provide that comforting touch from the very beginning stages of our therapeutic relationship. I work with clients from a wide array of backgrounds and upbringings. I’m experienced in working with individuals who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief and various other life transitions.

The Corona Virus has wreaked havoc on our lives. The world and the way we live today will never be the same. Unfortunately we hear the words, "Social Distancing" every day. Fears of of unknowingly transmitting it on to an elderly parent, grandparent or loved one are in the forefront of our minds. A loved one may have died from the virus. If you are a health care worker, or uniformed service worker or are experiencing depression as a result of quarantine, you are not alone. You don't have to deal with the impact of Corona Virus by yourself. If I am not on your insurance plan we will work together to find a fee that works.

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.

Relationships, career changes, college/graduate school, parenthood, and caregiving/ loss of parents are among the most common transitional stressors for people. Challenges in life can vary across the lifespan; at times, we may feel well-equipped to manage these challenges, and at other times, personal struggles, symptoms, or circumstances may impact our ability to manage the stresses that arise.
