Therapists in Syosset, NY

Emotions can be overwhelming, in order to become more productive and positive in life we need to manage them. Therapy allows my clients to feel in control of their destiny, to regain vitality and a sense of purpose. As they work through difficult experiences, they will obtain a more balanced life with an attitude of "self-acceptance" and "flexibility". They feel revitalized and strengthened to face life's difficult situations. I also work with couples and adolescents.My clients can use their bodies and minds in a more effective coordinated way by learning techniques of relaxation and mental focus.

Hello, time traveler. I'm glad you made it here. I know there's a million other places you could be right now so I want to help you take a second to be here with me. Not at work tomorrow, not in the climate apocalypse and definitely not reliving that time in 5th grade when your yogurt exploded in your backpack because someone threw it down the street at the bus stop as the bus arrived. Ok. Now, that you're here, take a breath. Take another one. Feel the air flow in and out. Let that nagging voice that's pulling you from being here know that you hear it, and ask it to step aside for 30 seconds so that you can finish reading this.

People worry every day. Some worriers "worry all their lives." Excessive, non-productive WORRY may lead to symptoms seen in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), irritability and depression.

I will help you understand your worrying behavior, learn about how to live with uncertainty and consider strategies and new behaviors you have not yet thought about. I pride myself in my ability to develop good working relationships with my clients, a crucial part of therapy.

You’re my ideal client! I want to meet you wherever you are & journey with you to where you want to go. Ever pass people who look impossibly high-functioning/put together - makes you feel like you'll never get there? So many look in a mirror & wonder who’s staring back & how they became who they are now.  To understand you, we first have to understand the story you’ve created from the beginning.  Letting others into dark corners of your life, where hurt hides, can be scary & painful.  But, it’s in those moments where healing happens. My role, in your journey, is to stand beside you, in the darker places, & help you turn on a light

There are a host of reasons one may seek Individual, couples/partners, or sex therapy. You may be dealing with issues surrounding a relationship, anxiety or depression, looking to change maladaptive patterns or shift from a negative self-image that has held you back for far too long. I work with individuals, couples/partners to help bring clarity and understanding to the issues present, and find solutions. I work toward reestablishing a sense of harmony and good communication so that they may find that space in which they feel secure and confident with each other once more.

In my practice, I collaborate with my clients to build a safe and affirming therapeutic space from which we can explore difficult feelings and past experiences with curiosity and compassion. Music has played a central role in my life and allows me to incorporate creativity, deep listening, and playfulness into my therapy practice. I often use art and music as alternative forms of expression, understanding, and communication. I invite my clients to also bring their full selves to our sessions, weaving in humor, play, and their interests to enrich our work together.

Living as an ADHD or Autistic adult can be frustrating and overwhelming. You might feel out of step with the world or misunderstood. Why don’t people just say what they mean? Why can’t people respect your process just because it’s different? Why can’t you feel more at peace with your body, mind, and senses? Our minds are colorful and complex, yet we struggle in a world not tailored to our unique patterns. Adapting and masking our true selves to fit in can be exhausting. The constant need to adapt, the feeling of being misunderstood, and the search for a space where you can be your true self is a path you need not walk alone.

Have you gone through hardships or trauma and questioned if you had the strength to continue living a fulfilling life? Do you often question your future based on your past and present experiences? Do you find yourself stagnating in life and lacking social support? Do you find yourself entrapped in ruminating and intrusive thoughts ranging from anxiety to suicidal thoughts? Do you struggle with self-doubt and resort to familiar behavioral patterns and addictions to mask your emotional pain? Have you pondered if you're misunderstood or inadequate and find it challenging to foster meaningful relationships? Do you want to find purpose?

Are you looking for help with the challenges you face? Therapy can provide the supportive space to look at your life and make a change for the better. Often, relationships are at the heart of many of those challenges. You may want a better relationship with someone in your life. You may have a want to resolve the painful history of a past relationship. You may want a better relationship with yourself. Ultimately, you can have deeper and more meaningful relationships and feel better about yourself. I can help you find what you want.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.
