Therapists in Plainview, NY

Whether you are new to therapy or seeking out a new therapist, finding a supportive and comfortable environment to work towards lasting change can be overwhelming. I am a warm and caring therapist who will help you to address issues in your life that are causing stress, anxiety, and depression, and to work towards a positive outcome. I have been practicing psychotherapy as a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years, working with individuals, couples, and families. I believe in solution-focused psychotherapy dealing with the here and now and using the past as a lens through which to understand the present.

I work closely with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to improve the quality of their personal lives and relationships. Often, feelings of anxiety, sadness, or hopelessness can either result from or lead to difficulties in the quality of our interpersonal relationships. My therapeutic approach is a strength-based and solution-focused model of support that is geared toward identifying strategies to help people better manage their own personal emotions, while simultaneously strengthening their bonds with partners and other loved ones.

I work with children, adolescents and adults offering psychotherapy and counseling services for anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, and family dysfunction for individuals, families, couples and groups. Because I believe in the mind-body connection I also work with people to achieve healthy weight loss and optimal health offering free health coaching towards learning transformational habits of health.

I believe that everyone has the potential to live happy and fulfilling lives. Many life circumstances and stressors can make this feel extremely difficult. Seeking out help at these times is a very courageous step.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatments and personalized care. I hold certifications as an Integrative Medicine Provider in Mental Health Disorders, DNA Precision Health Practitioner, Clinical Trauma Professional, Professional Coach, and Personal Trainer. These tools enable me to offer comprehensive care that empowers you to overcome challenges.
