Therapists in Smithtown, NY

Ik ben een erkend therapeut (LCSW) met veel jaren klinisch ervaring. Mijn patienten merken vaak op dat ik heel makkelijk om mee te spreken ben, en dat ik zonder oordel naar hun luister. Het meerendeel van mijn werk is met kinderen, tieners en volwassenen.

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness. My clients range in age from 3 to 103. Early in my career, I developed a support group curriculum for AIDS orphans now available in 35 countries. Review of my work as a therapist are available online. Kindly employ email to contact me initially if possible. Thank you.

Accepting New Clients IN-PERSON and ONLINE.. Facing anxiety, depression, trauma or addictions is never easy on your own. I offer you support in an integrative, evidence-based approach that guides you through a process of self-discovery. I work in partnership with you, adjusting interventions as needed. We'll explore root causes, build self-awareness, and develop lifelong coping strategies. You'll learn to embrace vulnerability as strength, process emotions fully, and communicate needs effectively. This work empowers you to break free from constraining patterns and live authentically. Adults. Couples. Teens & Children Welcome.

I like to begin by creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable as you embark on this journey to address things in your life, relationships and from your past that have you feeling “stuck”. My specialty is working with the individual (s) to explore behavioral patterns that lead to problem areas to increase insight, motivation and a sense of agency to take on change. I do not see individuals as problem but rather as people with problems. Problems are temporary. Let’s begin this journey.....to discovering to best version of yourself.

We strive to address your issues, meet your needs and work with you to meet your goals. We have over 15 years of experience treating ADHD/ADD, Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Psychosis, Dementia, and other related conditions.. Visits are conducted in person or by video. We have interpreters for most languages and ASL available. We want you to feel that you are being heard, that your concerns are being addressed, and that you are treated appropriately.
