Adults Therapists in Smithtown, NY

I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Public School Social Worker with extensive experience working with children and adolescents in foster care, public school, and private practice settings. I enjoy fostering change in the lives of youth who struggle to overcome barriers to their social, emotional, and educational goals. In addition to working with children and adolescents I have experience working with adults in the mental health, substance abuse, and private practice fields. Through these experiences I have learned to help families and individuals learn to live more fulfilling lives while addressing barriers to their success.

Learn to treat yourself with the same kindness you so easily extend to others! You may have previously examined your childhood issues in therapy yet still struggle with your self-esteem. You may judge yourself harshly, placing your needs last. You may experience difficulties in relationships or dealing with painful transitions, or feel you have lost your sense of self. My nearly 20 years as a Clinician coupled with advanced training allows me to work with you on a meaningful and compassionate level you have not experienced previously. Learn to appreciate your sensitivities and vulnerabilities as strengths, not weaknesses.

My ideal client is one who is motivated to change. I deal with school related issues, family issues, individual issues and marital issues. My goal is to get clients to understand the consequences of their behavior and to learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings appropriately. I try to get them to develop insight into their behaviors along with being able to develop skills to work on stressors when they are not in the therapy sessions. I deal with mood disorders including depression, anxiety disorders and anger management issues.

Many people enter therapy concerned that they will have to make dramatic changes in their lives to find relief. I believe that therapy is not dramatically changing who we are, but rather looking at how our perceptions of ourselves and others create unfulfilling experiences. I think my role as a therapist is to work with each individual to identify their strengths and enhance what is already working for them while examining the patterns that keep them from living life to its fullest.

Life is unpredictable and can feel difficult to manage. It can feel like there is nobody to confide in resulting in feeling completely alone as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel. We all have a story to tell and our story is what makes us unique, but it does not define who we are. No matter what our story is there is always an opportunity to achieve the life we envision for ourselves. Therapy can help to provide the comfort, reassurance, and support to grow in the ways that we desire. Together we will work through challenges you’re facing by learning how to deal with these obstacles while exploring your true self.

Hello, I'm glad you found my profile! I offer effective therapy for children, adolescents, their families, as well as for adults . For many people, the fast pace of life alone (e.g., school, jobs, relationships) can build up to cause stress.

I can help you understand & manage distress, in a way that helps you feel more "in control" of your life. I aim to help people tolerate difficulties & unlock their potential at home, with family, friends, children, and/or other areas of your life that are important to you.
