Psychosis Therapists in Turtle Bay, New York, NY

I have helped people for many years, including adolescents, adults, and the elderly with problems such as Life Crisis, Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement and Loss Issues, Loneliness, OCD, Family Conflicts, Relationship Issues, Identity Crisis, Panic Attacks, Bipolar, and Psychosis. I strive to be sensitive to cultural and gender issues. I provide a listening, nonjudgemental ear and help the people I work with gain a new perspective on their life problems so they can thrive and not be weighed down by their past and present life experiences.

"I have commanded foreign words to explicate the native in me, all the while obfuscating what was, but was not, could not be, spoken. And what of words? I have spoken in multitudes and platitudes. I have harbored thoughts and feelings with no hope of setting them off to sail in these words. All words but my own. There are, and always will be, two ways to tell my stories. I shall strive to choose dis-cordingly. There once was word where my innards stood. First there was word. After word there was silence. ..."

People often come to psychotherapy after long-term frustrations, when they feel overwhelmed by a lack of possibility, in times of emotional pain, and when in a crisis. These feelings are addressed through a psychotherapeutic process in which people articulate aspects of experience they would not otherwise have a chance to explore. Through this process they not only make sense of symptoms and other forms of relational suffering, but foster increased freedom, creativity, and purpose.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extended treatment experience.

I am most helpful to those that want to learn practical skills to help reduce mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress, or who find themselves "stuck" and wanting to find more meaning in their lives. While having a safe space to discuss day to day problems and vent is extremely important, many people need a bit more guidance in learning new ways to relate to their thoughts and feelings in order to reach their goals. I aim to provide this guidance in a flexible and collaborative manner, monitoring progress and incorporating feedback throughout treatment.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides support and guidance for people of all ages. My goal-oriented approach allows clients to return to their daily activities with insight, empowerment and critical coping skills. I utilize a wide variety of methodologies and systems, alone or in combination, to offer clients a uniquely personalized approach to treatment including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Insight Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

My focus is on healing the root cause of mental health struggles, prioritizing resolution over coping strategies and compensatory mechanisms. As a first step, I usually help my clients feel safe, understand how their life experiences affected them, and where their mental health struggles are coming from. In the following process, we may focus on fostering a secure connection (attachment) with oneself, discovering parts of the client's psyche that may be holding anxiety, pain, anger, or sadness, or other difficult emotions and guiding those parts towards intentional healing.

Are you worried that your child has a potential learning disability, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, or Autism Spectrum Disorder? Are you concerned about developmental delays? Does your child needs extra time in order to perform well on standardized tests (i.e. SAT)? Is your child displaying signs of Posttraumatic Stress after a traumatic event? Do they struggle with addictions or other behavioral problems? A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation will help your child achieve their potential. Following the evaluation, you will receive a report detailing the diagnosis and any further weaknesses that your child may be experiencing. Clear solutions including recommendations for home and school will be provided.

Given the complexities and demands of society today, it is inevitable that at some point in all of our lives, we will experience an emotional or challenging event. My view of therapy is that I am here to help you. Together we will explore your situation and utilize the strengths within you, at your own pace, to overcome the challenges the world presents to you.

I am currently seeing clients virtually in New York, Florida and California. Don't Stay Stuck in the Yuck! Counseling and Change can feel scary and overwhelming while staying "stuck" where you are can be even more difficult.

I understand this and want you to feel comfortable and empowered in therapy. No matter what you have experienced in your past or what brings you to treatment, you can THRIVE!

It is my belief that mental illness and addiction can be treated successfully when a therapist and client have an active, open, and trusting, collaborative relationship. Sometimes an individual who is suffering needs to believe that there are solutions available for them and the chance to change. I have extensive training in working clinically with adolescents, young adults, and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, job burnout, addiction, or painful life transitions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and am extremely focused on helping my clients find solutions for their current problems.

Finding a therapist is an important, yet challenging task. I have worked with individuals of all ages with issues including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, gender identity struggles, and borderline personality disorder.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience in providing short to medium-term treatment that is specific and goal oriented. Early in our work together we will strive to identify specific things you want to change in your life, so we can evaluate along the way whether our strategies are working or need to be tweaked. I also believe it is important to remain flexible and allow space in therapy for exploration, as we might not be fully aware of how certain things affect our lives at the beginning of therapy.

Experience has taught me that each person is unique and must be listened to, in an open nonjudgmental manner focusing on the singularity of their own life. No matter how traumatic an event could be, there are always important reasons that maintain a person trapped in her/his own life. Discovering and understanding these reasons is central to unlock a traumatic situation. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, difficulties to connect or relate to others as well as the different types of addictions are all symptoms connected with a particular way that someone has to deal with suffering.

As a therapist I value self-inquiry, relationships, and finding meaning. My primary goal is to create an environment where clients feel accepted and heard, while simultaneously challenged to find new perspectives. At the core of my practice is a nonjudgemental attitude and a desire to bring awareness into my client's lives. We will work together with the goal of exploring different aspects of your self in order to uncover why you may be feeling stuck or unsatisfied.

Addressing life's difficulties can be overwhelming, and looking for someone to talk to can be even more daunting. Taking the step to begin therapy is brave, and is one of the best ways to better understand yourself. As a therapist, my approach is empathetic, understanding, and non-judgemental. I aim to create a safe space with my clients where you can process your emotions comfortably and address any uncertainties, anxieties, and unwanted thoughts. Inside the safe space of therapy, we will work to address the things you want to- learning new coping strategies, meeting a goal, processing life changes, or discussing daily stressors.
