Anxiety Therapists in Northport, NY

Today is a new day to start your journey to a happier life. I strive for change. Together I can help you take an active role in deepening your self awareness and self understanding.

My practice focuses on helping to heal relationships. This starts with learning how to communicate more effectively & taking ownership of what needs to change in order for the relationship to progress. Common communication errors are at the root of most arguments. I can help you to identify your triggers and teach you and your partner how to respect one another so everyone feels heard. I will teach you how to set & achieve small goals each week, that will positively change your lives. I provide straightforward advice & will help you & your partner or you alone until your partner is ready to take the first BIG step into therapy.

I have advanced post graduate training and over thirty years of experience as a Psychiatric Social Worker, therapist and supervisor. Caring, empathetic and professional treatment is tailored to the individual's or couples' needs. I believe we all have the resources available to deal with life's challenges but that they have to be tapped at times of need. I enjoy working with individuals and couples and believe that becoming a therapist is a calling; this shows in my work. If I cannot help you I can refer you to someone who can.

I work with many clients from many different backgrounds and cultures. My priority and number one goal is to enhance their lives and over all psychological functioning and wellbeing. I am not here to fix you, as you are not broken. My main goal is to help every single client to actualize and become the best version of themselves. I approach each client as an individual, with respect, dignity, and sensitivity. I view myself as working alongside each client towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative behaviors, feelings, and thought patterns.

Change and growth are tough. My goal as your therapist is to aide you to move from being stuck in your life to creating a life that is in alignment with your true self. I would be honored to assist you and/or your child in gaining the skills and insight necessary for your growth.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and I will help you find yours. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive inpatient and outpatient experience. I enjoy working with all age groups in individual and group settings. I work together with my clients to establish collaborative and individualized treatment goals. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety , stress management, and relationship issues. I also have experience running groups for both parents and children coping with the pressures and stresses of parental separation/divorce.

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. What if you could find freedom from feelings of anxiety and depression. People are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion.

The enormous number of stressors we now face daily are unreal: work, inflation, heat, despair, isolation, disconnection. All of this is tremendously difficult to manage on one's own. Anxiety , anger, depression, resentment, boredom. Zombie states, exhaustion, sadness, rage, denial. If you are struggling with any of this - or any of the other states that often bring people to therapy, like emptiness, grief, rigidity, feeling lost or overwhelmed, relationship issues, lack of direction - it's worth investing the time and effort to get help, get grounded and figure out a better path forward.

Starting the journey of therapy can be a difficult choice, or one that you may have been considering for some time. Regardless of how you made this decision, it is one that shows great strength and courage, but also, the ability to reach out for help. I value myself as a therapist who will be next to you every step of the way to achieve your goals & aspirations. My professional work can assist in treating a variety of issues including substance use & addiction, anxiety , depression, and trauma - just to name a few.

Are you anxious more than ever, feeling “off” or “not like yourself” lately, facing relationship issues, or maybe you’re tired of holding everything in and ready to talk to someone? If you answered yes to any, you’ve come to the right place. In our sessions you will find that therapy is a meaningful conversation that takes place in a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgemental space where YOU set the pace and where we can identify conflict and options, make efforts toward self-growth, and pursue paths of change. My goal is to help you uncover your own motivation to change and empower you to be confident in the decisions you make.

Many of us will experience anxiety , depression, or trauma in our lifetime. We tend to carry these experiences silently and heavily weighed down by them, often leaving us feeling hopeless, exhausted, isolated, and unhappy. For some, they can also lead to significant mental health issues and unhelpful coping strategies. This pain is significant. Your suffering is real. And, if you're reading this, you've probably tried everything to fix it. You may have believed that nothing could change or get better. I am here to help you challenge those beliefs and provide you with a set of skills to help you cope with your distress.

I am a Psychologist in private practice working with individuals and couples, adolescents and adults. I have worked in many different clinical settings since 1968 and, for 38 years of private practice, have worked with a range of difficulties involving anxiety , depression, addictions, abuse, obsessions, parenting, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders and psychosis. One specialty has been using psychological testing to get a more accurate and detailed diagnostic picture of the issues, as just having a diagnosis is not enough and can result in misunderstanding and poor treatment.

Wouldn't it be great to get the guidance and support you need to have more ease in your mind and body? To move through life's big challenges with confidence and resilience? The truth is most of us have accumulated feelings and beliefs from traumatic and hurtful experiences. We form all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms as a result, from inner conflicts and severe self-criticism to anxiety , depression, and broken relationships. The great thing is that these uncomfortable symptoms really get our attention and can call us to a more satisfying conscious life and a much improved version of ourselves. I am here to help you do this.

Treatment begins in a relaxed setting within the context of a comfortable and safe relationship. Although past history and experiences certainly can play a role in contemporary problems, treatment starts in an active and directive way to help relieve the symptoms or distress that motivates treatment in the first place. This includes learning specific techniques and strategies to better manage symptoms and improve ones ability to function freely.

Taking the first step to make changes in your life is the beginning of a new path to enhancing your well-being.
