Sports Performance Therapists in Northport, NY

You can develop and improve skills you need to live a more exciting and satisfying life; improve your relationships with significant others; and have a more rewarding career. Negative mood states get in the way of your best efforts, leaving you with low energy or little interest in things that were once important. You may be afraid or feel tired; as if things are turning out wrong; as if there is nothing you can do to make them right again. You can change! You can remember when things went well! You can be happy and experience good feelings again!

I have been told that when a client meets with me, either in-person or on-line (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime), that they feel safe. This safety allows a person to communicate with me their feelings, thoughts and goals. My primary objective is to help a client understand these by focusing on their strengths and continually guiding them towards their goal. Through this process, clients are able to see what obstacles have been in their way that has prevented them achieving their goal/s.

I’m a reality-based therapist who specializes in CBT, using ACT & DBT techniques in practice. I specialize in helping my clients to become self-aware & regulate their emotions and learn strategies to improve self management. My focus as of lately has been helping couples learn communication skills, take ownership of what needs to change and improve their relationship. I like to empower my clients to set small actionable goals that will positively change their lives and build their confidence. I am transparent & provide practical, straightforward advice. I fundamentally understand mental health & its effects.

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.

I know it’s not an easy process to find a worthwhile therapist. Allow me to be direct so that you can decide if I am the right person to help you. My work focuses on more than just your emotions. I’m a psychotherapist who works holistically to help people unpack their personal complexity. As we talk through the struggles you are facing, we will look at your behavior, thoughts, your history, your physical environment as well as your cultural environment and how all of these relate to each other in our session. I am trained in person-centered therapy with a focus on anxiety, stress and trauma.

Feeling not sure which direction you are going? Having difficulty with past decisions? Unsure of your next move with career, relationships or all of the above? That is where I can help. I specialize in helping clients uncover their true potential. We can all get stuck in life, especially given the current pace of the world. However its not WHY we get stuck but WHAT are we doing about it.

Making the decision to see a therapist is not easy. However, it is a time of growth, self-realization and change. I believe you are the expert on you and I will walk alongside you in your journey to healing, self-exploration and self-actualization. Change can be hard and finding a therapist you connect with to go on this journey with can also be hard. I offer a free phone consultation to see if we are a good match for one another.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with adolescents and adults. People choose to work with me for my honest, non-judgmental communication style. I work to create an environment for self-exploration and personal growth to take place.
