Therapists in Syosset, NY

Integrative Therapeutic Coaching nurtures the power of the human spirit and its vast capacity for development and transformation. This includes specific steps that promote change and lead to practical, achievable goals. My approach emphasizes compassion and communication as key components in building, healing, and maintaining healthy relationships. I believe that encouragement, understanding, knowledge and action promote growth in the family system and in each individual family member.

I provide an integrative, psycho-dynamically based psychotherapy. I work with individual adult clients, couples and teens. I work with my clients in an acceptance-based, patient, gentle and methodical way. Therapy for me is a collaborative process in which the client and therapist mutually identify, clarify and explore the issues that are facing the client, paced in a way that is fully comfortable to the client

I work with couples and individuals in couples counseling and psychotherapy. My approach is collaborative, interactive, engaged, to be "in it with you." I believe that core and primary emotions, when explored and shared in a safe environment with a secure other, can achieve the transformation we desire--toward relief, confidence, an expanded sense of self, authenticity, happiness, peace, joy, meaning and depth, satisfaction, openness and nurturing, loving relationships.

I specialize in guiding high-achieving couples and families through transformative journeys, navigating from the anxiety, fear, and stress of insecurity to the deep sense of safety in relationship, relaxed in intimacy and empowered with the skills to resolve difficulties. Together, we'll navigate challenges, fostering trust, closeness, and alignment with your values. Expect a journey of self-discovery and healing, culminating in high-quality connections and a deeply fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 42 years of experience. I have worked with a variety of different issues, including addiction, sexual/physical trauma, PTSD, depression/anxiety, low self-esteem, Veteran's concerns, and couple/relationship problems. With a broad background in a variety of psychotherapy treatments, I try to tailor my approach to the needs of the individual. There are some individuals who are struggling with stressful life events, while others have a difficult time even defining what bothers them.

We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Relationship woes? Existential Angst? Have a troubled teen or child in trouble? Feel stuck your life? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through this too. This is temporary. We will reach out to you, discuss your needs, and pair you with a therapist familiar with your needs. Together, you will meet, identify issues, collaborate to create a plan, follow through with some reasonable interventions, and figure out ways to make the changes last.

I am privileged to provide professional and thorough help to all of my clients. I will meet with you individually in a comfortable setting to talk over what concerns you. We can make a reasonable effective plan for short or longer term therapy; including referral to a specialist service that is based on your individual needs. I am confident that I can move you in the right direction. I believe in the strength of all my clients. I will provide my skills and expertise to reach our identified goals.
