Self Esteem Therapists in West Islip, NY

The majority of my clients are adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression and self-esteem. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and am always updating and adapting my style in order to accommodate individual needs.

I have been in the field since 2002 working with many people. I have experience with depression, self-esteem challenges, behavioral issues, issues within the relationship and family bond, and bipolar disorder. These are a only handful of the client's I have worked with. I have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger's ; however, I've worked with all types of Intellectually Capable individuals. I've also done a lot of work with parents both in the home and on the residential level. And I love working with couples.

Do you feel stuck, despite being highly self-aware? Have you tried talk therapy before and it felt nice to vent, but it didn’t really create the transformation or deep healing and relief from anxiety you were looking for? I help millennial women like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine EMDR therapy, art therapy, IFS therapy and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues, discover what you want out of life, and create lasting changes. I also offer EMDR Intensives for those who want to heal NOW and don't want to spend months or even years in the traditional therapy model.

Do you struggle with every day stress, anxiety, or OCD? Do you experience episodes of depression or low self-esteem? Is it difficult to control your impulses? Could you benefit from assertiveness training? Are you struggling to make time to practice self-care? Are you looking to set goals and change your life, but don't know where to get started? If the answer is yes to any of these then I can help!

I think one of the bravest things you can do is speak out loud, the things that scare and confuse you. Navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma can be challenging when dealt with alone. In a non-judgmental but curious way let’s unpack emotions, challenge thinking patterns/behaviors, and learn to live authentically and not be in survival mode.

Have you ever wished that you could talk with someone about your deepest troubles and worries without being judged? Do you want to have someone who can help you untangle your emotions while feeling safe and accepted at the same time? Do you feel lost in a world where everyone else "has it together?" I assure you that everyone at some point in their lives would benefit from therapy. No issue is too big or too small- if something has been on your mind and you cannot resolve it no matter how hard you try, you've come to the right place.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My approach in facilitating change, wellness, and personal growth includes using a humanistic lense in therapy. I believe that the client knows best what they are ready to do, and comes to therapy with the desire for change, as well as the skills necessary for personal growth - even if they are currently not accessible. In our work, we will identify your unique strengths and values, and collaborate on envisioning a life that’s meaningful and authentic to you while letting go of who you've been told that you’re supposed to be.

We are all the products of our earliest emotional conditioning. A majority of us do not come from ideal upbringings due to the complexities of parenting. As a result, we all experience, and become accustomed to, varying levels of irritation and develop a "pushing away" defense to real intimacy. Because of this common dynamic, many people become creatures of maladaptive habits and develop destructive habits, ego deficits, and severe intimacy issues. If this sounds familiar to you, please consider calling me.

Finding the right therapist can be a difficult task. You have to think of what it is you would like to work on and if the person smiling to your left will "get" you. This is a good time to introduce myself.

Everyone has the ability to lead a positive, healthy and productive life! However, we all can become sidetracked by the stressors we encounter each and every day. These stressors can lead us away from fulfilling our goals and following our dreams, sending us off course. Together we can begin to refocus and work toward moving down a path of achieving your own personal potential!

The only way to change is to define who you are and then change your habits to align with who your new self is. It's as simple as that, but the problem that arises the most with the clients who come into my office is; who is this new person I want to be. This can be difficult, because many times there are many underlying factors that prevent us, or that we perceive prevent us from taking the steps we need to move forward. It is my job is to help you realize what great potential you have inside you already. With that said let's work together to pick apart the old ideas you have of yourself, and create a new pathway forward.
