Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Smithtown, NY

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I will work to help you come into authentic alignment with your highest self in order to live a life full of satisfaction, harmony and truth. If you are currently struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, or are just feeling stuck in your life no matter what age you are at and feel as though you wish to be living an enriching fulfilling life, but don’t know where to start, I encourage you to schedule an appointment. In my practice, I utilize a holistic approach by blending western psychotherapy with eastern methods such as meditation, breath work and mindfulness practices.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I am a compassionate and experienced therapist attending to the needs of children, adolescents, adults, families, and victims of relationship abuse. The goal for treatment is to keep it short term, work collaboratively as we identify the issues, set goals and monitor progress to ensure good treatment outcomes.

The decision to see a therapist is a personal one and perhaps the most important factor in that decision is the connection you make with the therapist that you choose. I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

Choosing a therapist and getting started itself can be overwhelming. I believe that treatment must be specific to the person and the problem and be based on a broad array of available clinical modalities and interventions. These interventions are always provided with safe, supportive and professional care. I have over twenty years experience as a psychologist and as a supervisor and trainer of therapists from all of the mental health fields. I head a group private practice with many available resources for adults and children. I am a leader in the field of abuse and trauma as well as sexuality and relationships.

Your life is a journey that can be difficult to handle on your own sometimes. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or mood instability? Do you feel like you need a safe and inviting space to discuss, process and address the issues you are facing? As a Licensed Masters Social Worker it is my role to work alongside you to provide support, empathy and tools to assist you on the goals you would like to work towards. I have a wide variety of experience and have been working in the mental health field for three years now holding various positions such as care coordinator, family development specialist and psychotherapist.

The foundation of my work as a therapist is the knowledge that attunement in a therapeutic relationship helps people make lasting positive changes in their lives. We are all entitled to happiness, and to live with meaning and purpose. I work with my clients in partnership as we define personal strengths, and rediscover their authentic self. My clients are people who have struggled with a myriad of challenges. My philosophy is that these challenges do not define who you are. I do not treat depression or anxiety. I work with people who struggle with relational patterns that result in depression and anxiety, and want to change.

When my clients come to see me, life experiences have caused them to lose their identity and sense of self. They experience many struggles with irritability, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and low self-esteem. My clients come from various walks of life, ages, and demographics; however, all have one thing in common- their life experiences have caused them to lose their identity and sense of self. As a result, they become victim to irritability, intrusive thoughts, and low self- esteem. Many have symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger issues, and struggle to move through the obstacles that life has placed in their path.

At some point in our lives, we all run into problems that seem too big or too persistent to handle alone. With more than 10 years of experience in private practice I've helped individuals, couples and families successfully overcome life's challenges and return to a happier and peaceful lifestyle. I'll help you overcome life's difficulties by teaching you the tools you need to achieve positive growth and change.

What do you think of therapy? Does it intimidate you? In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun? Or something you look forward to? What if therapy didn’t have to be scary or always serious but a time you set aside for yourself which you actually enjoy?
