Therapists in Manhasset, NY

The journey of life is one filled with joy, happiness, sadness, disappointments, loss and renewal. I feel my goal as a psychologist is to enable a child, adolescent, young adult, and adult find the strength to review life's troubling issues and form new perceptions which enables different outlooks on problems. I feel the only problems in life are situations that can not be resolved. Many times the resolutions are not what we thought life would offer us, but that is what we have. Books written by Dr. Pitta: "Solving Modern Family Dilemmas: An Assimilative Therapy Approach" and " Integrative Couples Therapy".

As an adult or teenager your feelings and experiences are unique. You may need to have someone who can acknowledge what is important to you and to help you find ways to improve the way you feel about yourself, your loved ones, your life and your environment!

My goal is to help you to discover your needs and to help you achieve a strong sense of self and an ability to utilize the resources and relationships available to you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
