Teen Therapists in Manhasset, NY

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of behavioral, mood, and anxiety issues, including depression, panic, social anxiety, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also work with individuals to cope more effectively with life stressors and to grieve the situations that cannot be altered.

Anger Management + Personal Well-being + Life Coach Equals Positive Behavioral Change. Individuals whose anger is frequent and intense, this program will benefit you. Anger management refers to the reduction of maladaptive, disruptive, and excessive angry arousal and expression. Anger management does not mean complete anger elimination. The goal is to educate your awareness of expressive anger, and to react with minimal and infrequent anger to perceived conflicts and struggles, to express anger appropriately when you feel it, and, when possible, to use anger functionally to resolves life’s problems.

As a practicing psychologist licensed in New York State, I specialize in adolescents and their families. No matter how difficult or seemingly hopeless the situation, I work in a collaborative atmosphere to absorb clients' experiences and cultivate untapped resources in youth and families. I deal with a spectrum of psychological issues commonly related to youth and adults. The concerns may range from problems with mood, identity, adjusting to new situations, self-image, school, peer or adult relationships, impulsivity, communication or competence, to risk-taking, family crises and pressing circumstances of violence and anti-social behavior. These I approach from an attitude of possibility and positivity.

Welcome. My goals as therapist and psychological counselor are to provide support and help for people experiencing negative feelings, self-defeating behavior, social problems, work problems or other personal difficulties.

I am empathic and directive, and my style is collaborative and interactive: we will identify your goals and work toward achieving them together.

My approach is grounded in a deep appreciation and respect for each person's life journey and unique path toward healing, growth and wholeness. I take great care in fostering a safe, nonjudgmental, collaborative environment, with space to breathe and explore. When discomforting symptoms and difficult feelings arise, it is natural that we all want them to go away. But when we take a moment to slow down, to be peaceful and really listen, they are like honest friends helping us unfold what is wanting loving attention to grow. By listening closely together, we can get to the heart of your private struggles and engage your strengths.

My style of therapy involves the provision of a safe, nurturing, warm and professional environment in which to help people explore and gain insight into their behaviors and problems. Every person who enters my office is treated as a unique individual and I work together with that person to gently approach the most difficult or painful subjects and to gain mastery over them.

With the current health crisis I am providing remote sessions via Zoom, Skype, Facetime and What’s App. I have 27 years of experience treating individuals and couples for a range of problems. I am most effective in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, an inability to prosper, find happiness or enjoy satisfying relationships with others. I work well with men and women of all ages and adolescents. For those who wish to be understood and understand themselves I am a good choice. It is the very act of making oneself known to others that is therapeutic. In so doing we become known to ourselves as well.
