Italian Therapists in Tarrytown, NY

I have extensive experience in the field of mental health. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who treats individual adults, children of all ages, and families. In addition, I am a NYS Certified School Psychologist, and perform psycho-educational evaluations. I am fluent in English, Italian and Spanish. Additional education and training includes Forensic Psychology pertaining to Family Court, Criminal Court and Immigration related issues.

I treat a wide spectrum of conditions including mood and anxiety disorders (e.g., bipolar and depressive disorders, panic and phobias), ADHD, marital issues and PTSD. My niche is in personality disorders (e.g., borderline and narcissistic personality disorder). I have extensive experience treating trauma sequelas, dissociative disorders and helping individuals overcome grief. My practice also includes treatment of eating disorders in adults (e.g., bulimia) and parasuicidal behaviour. Although my practice is mainly guided by empirical modalities, I tend to approach each client in an eclectic manner to customize treatment as needed.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience providing assistance to clients with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, trauma issues, aging issues and autoimmune disorders. I work with adolescents(ages 11 and up), young adults, families, women, and older persons( up to 90 plus). As a licensed clinical social worker I believe in focusing on all aspects of a person's well being; mental, physical, financial, social, and spiritual. I have a Masters degree in Social Work and a Masters degree in Family Counseling.

Finding an environment that is unbiased, open-minded and strength-driven is important when it comes to creating a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative and catered to your unique needs. I believe that clients are experts in their own experiences, and as your therapist, I am here to accompany you as you navigate challenges and change. As a helper, I am an admirer of human strength, emotion and vulnerability. I will help you through, integrating your values and goals. I hope that I can mitigate your worry, and I encourage you to reach out to see if my approaches are right for you.

My goal as a therapist is to work with my clients in a supportive, structured and caring manner to help them feel better and manage their lives more effectively. This could include managing their anxiety, moods, relationships and workplace/ career issues. I am a warm, caring, highly engaged therapist who works collaboratively with my clients to help them access their strengths and meet their potential. I utilize cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to assist my clients to regulate their moods and anxiety, as well as supportive and interpersonal therapy.

At the heart of my work, I collaborate with you, tending to your emotional life, helping you build resilience, and cultivating sustainable happiness. I work with individuals, parents, couples, people seeking to move into healthy relationships, anyone seeking to effect change, and people overwhelmed by maladaptive patterns in their lives. Drawing from my training and life experience, we'll work skillfully and compassionately, together, toward achieving your goals. With a profound belief in the capacity for people to transform themselves, I can create a safe place to heal and grow.

Most of us experience emotional conflict. Anxiety, depression, loss or seemingly impossible situations are among the challenges that interfere with our ability to sustain satisfactory relations at home, the workplace - and most importantly, within ourselves. Feelings of sadness or discontent can lead us unproductively towards substance dependence or persistent grief that overwhelms our lives. Obstacles such as poor self-esteem or past traumas are possible to overcome. Through sensitive inquiry, I encourage exploration of your thought process and resulting behaviors. While respecting your individual concerns, my overall goal is for you to achieve a sense of well-being.

MARRIAGE or COUPLES THERAPY. Struggling? Frustrated? Relationships don't have to be this hard. For over 20 years I've helped individuals and couples create more satisfying, lasting relationships. Many of the couples and individuals I see are seeking to learn more constructive approaches to conflict, to rebuild after infidelity, or to reconnect when busy work lives or other stressors have created distance between them. I see many international New Yorkers who work in midtown firms or the East Side biotech corridor.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over ten years of clinical experience. In my practice, I work with adults and couples of diverse backgrounds. I am a sex-positive therapist and familiar with LGBTQA issues.

avvertire difficoltà quotidianamente, sentirsi inadeguati nell'affrontare gli obblighi o ancora non riuscire a realizzare i propri obiettivi è un sentire comune in questo periodo.Tutto ciò può influenzare l'umore e il modo in cui ci si rapporta con gli altri, ma si può superare. Sono specializzata in terapia cognitiva comportamentale e psicoterapia psicodinamica. L'unione di entrambi risulta essere molto efficiente nel trattamento dell'ansia e nell'identificazione delle origini di questo disturbo. Il mio lavoro è rivolto a adolescenti, giovani e adulti.
