Therapists for Teens in Manhasset, NY

I am a clinical psychologist who provides evidence-based, solution-focused treatment in a warm, supportive environment. In my experience most people appreciate a compassionate yet direct approach from their therapist. I work with you to identify and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while providing ongoing clear feedback and guidance in a supportive and nonjudgmental manner. As a cognitive-behavioral psychologist, I use research-based treatment techniques while tailoring therapy to your unique needs and circumstances.

Are you fortunate in so many ways yet you feel sad and empty? Are worry, procrastination and anxiety robbing you of moments of happiness and enjoyment in your life and relationships? We will discover your strengths and use them to help you learn to think, respond emotionally and behave differently, tackling important issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life stressors and trauma. I have a specialty working with emerging adults to address unique challenges they face finding independence, including family dynamics, transition to college and graduate school, and work-life balance.

I am a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in treating individuals and couples as well as families incorporating recognized clinical modalities based on client's needs assessment to address client's identified issues and goals.

We help relationships thrive by healing the hurt that is in the way, so you can enjoy closeness, love, and joyful moments with your family and friends. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD, can cause instability, outbursts, misunderstandings, confusion, mistrust, anxiety, panic attacks, fears, intimacy issues, and intrusive thoughts. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD are successive, treatable, and preventable stages. If trauma has been holding you back from your dreams, we can help you achieve them. If trauma has caused issues in any relationships, we can help you mend them. We can also help you improve the relationship with yourself and your inner world :)

It can be hard to admit but our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. Working with a friendly, experienced therapist can help you see these connections and reach a deeper, more productive, and more accepting understanding of yourself. You and I will collaborate in a safe and comfortable environment where you will heal and grow.

Navigating through your day with worry or distress may feel like an uphill battle. You might often wonder, if you will ever overcome these feelings. If you will ever stop feeling so pressured, so overwhelmed, so exhausted. It might be difficult to participate in your relationships. You might feel stuck or have scary thoughts. All you want is for this pain to finally stop. Imagine if you can begin to quiet down that pain. Imagine feeling less stuck and having the space to deepen relationships. Could you see yourself challenging your thoughts and creating a new narrative?

When you can't find the words to express your thoughts and emotions, let your creativity help you. Art Therapy is a non verbal and safe means to express your feelings and fears. As an Art Therapist, I can help you gain insight and help resolve interpersonal and emotional conflicts. Through Art Therapy I can manage behaviors, addictions, reduce stress and anxiety, increase self esteem and restore a sense of personal well being. I will help you to navigate your emotions and fears. Together we can overcome obstacles through verbal and non verbal techniques.

I work with adults, young adults and teens, who are struggling to understand themselves and struggling to understand “why,” they might be experiencing difficult emotions and situations. These clients might sometimes feel confused, ashamed or disappointed in themselves; may feel frustrated, guilty or disconnected within their relationships; or, notice they have been feeling lonely, overwhelmed, defensive and maybe "not good enough." I work with clients who are seeking progressive growth, looking for lifelong changes, and want to learn how to love the unique, imperfect parts of themselves.

“In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety” (Maslow). Moving through the stages of life doesn’t always go as we expect. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I want to support you and your family through the difficult stages of life. Whether you are a younger person, parent, spouse, or an adult seeking clarity in your life, I am here to support you.

I create a safe, supportive environment so that each individual feels comfortable to share their story and express their feelings. In knowing that one size does not fit all, I develop a treatment plan tailored to each individual’s specific needs. I help my clients to understand their behaviors, thought processes, and habits through self-exploration while guiding them towards reaching their personal goals.

I have been told that I am easy to talk to, authentic, and compassionate. I’ve worked with individuals of all ages, couples and families. I have been lucky enough to witness many of my patients create desirable changes in their lives.

When a crisis occurs in our lives, sometimes we look the other way and hope it gets better. Or, when the past comes back to haunt us, maybe we’re better off ignoring what’s happened and leave it where it is. But oftentimes, that’s not so easy. Problems that have an effect on our mental health, don’t go away magically. Sometimes it’s easier to turn to a professional who will help you sort through these issues and show you a clear, healthier path to walk through. Focusing on goals and becoming more self aware is what a good therapist can assist you with. I (temporarily) have been granted a license to practice in NJ via teletherapy.

Please do not hesitate to call me.

Welcome! It takes courage to reach out and find a therapist. Maybe you have an inner dialogue that is critical, have trouble initiating things and following through, are experiencing relationship struggles or are curious about why something keeps happening even though you mean to change. Sometimes the relationship between food and body is complicated and talking about it can help you to understand more fully. Loss of identity due to a change in job, parenthood, career, sexual identity or physical illness may make you need to explore new ways of interacting with yourself and those around you.

I have an extensive social work and psychotherapy experience working with adults, adolescents and children in individual and group settings. In my practice, I utilize a wide range of therapeutic tools stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Play and Art Therapies.
