Therapists in Oyster Bay, NY

Are you tired of feeling anxious, depressed, and stressed out? Life is full of difficulties, obstacles, and making tough decisions. You do not have to deal with this universal experience alone! Together we can explore and process past traumas, gain a deeper understanding of how they are impacting your life and interpersonal relationships today, and decide if now is the right time to make the healthy changes necessary to thrive.

Are you struggling with emotional distress? Do you often feel burdened by feelings of depression or anxiety? Do you find yourself falling into comfortable, although detrimental ways of dealing with stress, relationships, or disturbing experiences? Come talk to me, and we can work together on revealing underlying causes of unhelpful thoughts, sensations, or behaviors and integrate your resources to overcome adversity. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client controls the pace of treatment and my role is to promote curiosity and guide the client to connect with inner strengths.

I practice Holistic Psychology and am passionate about making evidence-based therapeutic practices accessible. Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and strengths-based. My approach is grounded in scientifically-backed methods with specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). I see clients of all ages ranging from young childhood through adulthood, including families and couples.

You deserve to live a happier and healthier life. Together, we can begin to understand your situation, and then create a plan that will address the issues that are causing you stress. Do you feel overwhelmed with issues that are unmanageable to deal with? Are you unsure about how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool utilized to help resolve the problems you are experiencing. It strengthens our coping tools and our sense of self. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, compulsions/addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem, and developing action plans to address goal setting.

I provide telehealth services for individuals seeking support with challenging relationships, managing emotions, and overcoming self-sabotage. I empower those who've experienced trauma, helping them regain control amidst feelings of inadequacy, insecure attachment, boundary struggles, and chronic anxiety and depression. With expertise in C-PTSD and trauma recovery, I offer specialized support to survivors, including those of narcissistic abuse. Certified in treating Children of Emotionally Immature Parents with Dr. Lindsay Gibson, I address unique challenges faced by individuals with emotionally immature caregivers.

My goal as a counselor is to provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, and difficulties, and work towards goals of happiness, stability, and serenity. A main focus of my work is to help each client to achieve a connection between mind, body, and soul; to reach a sense and feeling of peace in the present moment. Sometimes, this includes healing wounds of the past. I firmly believe in meeting the client where they are at, and working together, step-by-step, on moving forward.

Are you missing appreciation? Does he stonewall? Does she not stop criticizing? Anxious and having trust issues? Do you feel a lack of sexual desire? Fighting over sexual frequency? I can help you stop the negative cycle. Feel love again. Feel intimate again. Trained explicitly as a marriage and family therapist, I am a highly trained and experienced couples therapist. I believe in a collaborative approach and skilled at creating tools to foster healthy connections between couples and families. Together, we repair your relationship by introducing new methods of communication to increase empathy and flexibility.

Individual, couples, and family therapy is offered here regardless of age or cultural background. Collaborative approaches allow clients to not only manage their symptoms effectively, but to also improve their quality of life and relationships. Clients within the practice are encouraged to develop effective tools to get and keep positive lasting change.

Finding the right psychotherapist is challenging and can be a lengthy process. Once the search is completed, and the therapy is under way, it will become rewarding and healing. My approach to psychotherapy is mindful, accepting and supportive. Trained in individual, couple, and family therapy, complex trauma, as well as clinical medicine and public health epidemiology, I provide treatment from an individualized integrative perspective, based on what is most beneficial to each person. My cultural and crosscultural perspectives allow me to also factor in the cultural impact on human behavior.

Sometimes all that stands in the way of your happiness and peace of mind is the way you think about things. It's remarkable how our own thoughts can work against us creating anxiety, depression and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. There is great relief in the realization that the happiness you truly want and deserve is actually within your control! Whether your goal is diminishing your fears, gaining a better understanding of why you feel so sad, finally having the healthy relationship you have been yearning for, reducing stress, finding balance, or finally being able to answer that question, "What will make me happy?"

Our childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we all have experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

Have you ever felt like you had no control over your emotions? Do you question the validity of your feelings, or feel like you "suck at expressing yourself?" Ever get that nagging feeling that you’re doing something “wrong,” even when you’re trying to do everything “right?” Are you hyper-critical of yourself? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're not alone, I've been there before. I know what it feels like to feel confused, ashamed, and not good enough; to become overwhelmed, defensive, or disconnected. I also know it's possible to regain control of yourself, build your confidence, and provide yourself with clarity.

Sometimes all that stands in the way of your happiness and peace of mind is your own thoughts. It's remarkable how our thoughts work against us creating anxiety, depression, and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. The good news is that having the happiness you want and deserve is actually within your control. Whether it is getting rid of your fear, understanding why you are so sad, dreaming of a healthier relationship, or just trying to figure out what will actually make you happy, I am here to help you learn how to take control of your life.

I am culturally aware and sensitive to the unique backgrounds, customs, and worldviews of my clients. I am a compassionate therapist who appreciates working side by side with my clients on their therapeutic journey. I utilize a multimodal approach to treatment as I recognize that there is no one approach that applies to all situations. Through building a solid rapport and forming a strong treatment alliance with my clients, I work to help my clients learn healthy and adaptive coping skills, increase awareness, and experience greater joy and meaning in their lives.

Navigating through your day with worry or distress may feel like an uphill battle. You might often wonder, if you will ever overcome these feelings. If you will ever stop feeling so pressured, so overwhelmed, so exhausted. It might be difficult to participate in your relationships. You might feel stuck or have scary thoughts. All you want is for this pain to finally stop. Imagine if you can begin to quiet down that pain. Imagine feeling less stuck and having the space to deepen relationships. Could you see yourself challenging your thoughts and creating a new narrative?
