Grief Therapists in Yonkers, NY

You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I create an atmosphere where the client understands that it is ok to not be ok but I also push the client to independently develop their own mental resilience and identify what they need to push forward through their struggles.

Mental health program that addresses the needs of adults, adolescents, children, and families. The program encompasses a broad range of areas, including individual and family counseling, substance use and youth development. Its purpose is to provide mental health services to individuals impacted by psychological and emotional disturbances.

I specialize in working with couples, marriages, families, and I also provide individual therapy. I aim to increase healthier communication, understanding and on building a stronger connection, beginning from the first therapy session. I provide psychotherapy without judgement or blame, in a supportive, empathic and caring environment. I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. I look to empower people and to help them tap into their inner resources, aiming at aiding them in developing coping strategies to manage stressful situations, and to find solutions to their relational challenges.

Most adults enter psychotherapy because they are dissatisfied with certain aspects of their lives or certain aspects of their selves. Most want to change but don't know how. I find that as I provide an accepting, non-judgemental attitude to the understanding of their problems, individuals are able to uncover emotional blocks, untangle emotional confusions, and work toward developing more successful ways of being in their worlds.

"HOPE" is the catalyst for the little voice you hear inside whisper "MAYBE" when it seems the entire world is shouting "NO." My objective is to aid each client in developing the capacity to hear that "whisper" by exploring their thoughts and feelings. I create a nonjudgmental, empathic, supportive and cozy environment for clients to view themselves and their world more positively. The goal of therapy is to change the way they live their lives. My goal is to transform that whisper of HOPE into a voice they learn to embrace and trust when challenges in their lives arise.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

How we manage and cope with stress can have a profound effect on both our medical health and mental health. In turn, our medical health can impact our mood, anxiety, and ability to cope. Stress management, body health, mood, and anxiety form an interactive loop that can affect not only our self-esteem, but also the sense of personal and professional success we experience in our lives. The connection between mental health, physical health and life satisfaction is the cornerstone of my work toward emotional well-being. Finding a balance among these aspects of self can be difficult and challenging.

Although it is sometimes difficult to make the first contact with a therapist if you can push through that resistance you will find an valuable source for understanding what it is that is preventing you from achieving your goals. Through the relationship; the knowledge the therapist possesses of psychological processes, the bond you will hopefully feel with this person who is your supporter and your ally but who is still able to have a neutral and honest view of your behavior you can grow and progress beyond what you can imagine.
