Therapists in Mattituck, NY

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

I am experienced and passionate about treating a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, ADHD, learning disorders and individuals with high functioning autism. I am particularly focused on helping individuals improve their self esteem. Whether it be for my passion for changing the stigma on men’s mental health, working performance anxiety in athletes at the highest level of their sports or helping high functioning individuals on the autism spectrum overcome their social anxiety and improve their communication with peers.

Do you feel as if there is a weight holding you down in life? It may be based in shame and guilt or a feeling of being stuck. What would it feel like to better understand yourself and to move towards a freer and more authentic version of yourself? I pride myself in creating a safe and collaborative environment where we can begin to explore obstacles such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, addiction, and navigating life choices. My focus is to help you meet your goals and sense of potential.

As a depth-oriented therapist and life coach, I offer a safe, emotionally warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space for individuals and couples to examine behavioral patterns, explore and develop strategies for issues of anxiety, depression, confidence, shame, self-worth, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and dating. I provide a safe and warm space for men, LGBTQ, multicultural, and diasporic identities to express and process their issues and concerns. We will collaborate and explore mindful ways to remove potential barriers to the marital or professional relationship, career, or academic progress you can achieve.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

I want to help you gain a greater sense of control over difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients often begin therapy requesting concrete tools to walk away with from each session. This is something I offer through through my enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, with a dual focus on techniques for altering unhealthy thoughts and behavior, and for improving insight, awareness, and mindfulness. I have a long track record of creating powerful results for my clients.

With over two decades of experience in faith-based psychotherapy, mental health counseling and inpatient rehabilitation, I am uniquely competent integrating clinical expertise and Christian spirituality in a holistic approach to thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

I see couples and adult clients, and have other counselors (with lower fees) at my practice who work with adolescents and children.

Life gets rough – it can be overwhelming and difficult to manage at times. It may feel like no one is listening or understands the struggles you’re going through. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for you. You’ll have a voice to tell your story, express your emotions, and not feel judged. Everyone has their own unique experiences and although I may not have experienced your situation and circumstances, I'm willing to do the work and listen to everything you have to say. As a 1.5 gen Chinese-American, I also understand the difficulties of navigating through racism, family dynamics, clashing values, and identity.

You may have found yourself caught in a pattern of anxiety, overthinking, and a down mood that has lead you to feel isolated and wanting change in your life. I believe in the power of collaboration and tailoring treatment to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. We will determine which treatment approach works best for you to reclaim your life and your happiness, whether that is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Psychotherapy is, most honestly, a very remarkable and often surprising kind of 'conversation.' The distinction being that when we have a 'conversation,' we only know where it will begin, but not where it will end. The 'getting there,' the movement toward 'the end,' is often a thought-provoking, pleasurable, funny, sad, profound experience that changes people in wholly positive ways. When therapist and patient develop a good working relationship, transformative things can happen. My work centers around creating a serious, useful, and private space to begin exploring the depths of what causes you to suffer, or feel misunderstood.

When we live allowing the past to dictate the future we neglect the present moment and the ability for change.
