Obesity Therapists in Rye Brook, NY

For too many of us, the relationships with food and our own bodies are among the most complex relationships we have. As a Registered Dietitian, Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and MSW Therapist in private practice in Westchester County, NY, my focus is on helping people address their nutrition-related concerns and eating disorders. Many of my clients deal with personal issues and old habits that impact their food choices, so together we create personal intuitive eating strategies to guide them toward making new choices that help them heal and nourish body and soul.

One of the hardest parts of therapy is picking up the phone and being vulnerable with someone you don't yet know. I'd like to help you over this hurdle by providing you an empathic and accepting environment. I believe the connection between therapist and client is an important part of the healing process and I encourage a collaborative working relationship. Through therapy, I can help you make positive changes in behavior, thinking, and feeling, improve your relationships, and better your sense of self.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by chronic stress, personal and professional demands, a fast paced lifestyle? Are you seeking strategies to improve your health and mindset? With the right support, you may find life challenges as an opportunity to improve the mind and body, aiding the potential to prevent stress-related or even chronic illnesses. I have specialized expertise in the treatment of stress related to a myriad of life events including various illnesses, work stress, relationships, burnout, caregiving and reactions to societal and environmental stressors. My clients often find new strength and clarity in our work together.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

Do you know a highly successful individual who feels stuck? Who feels that there is more to life and longs for better health, more wealth and happiness? Does this sound familiar to you? Whether it's feelings of anxiety, issues with self confidence, sleep issues, finding your purpose in life or managing your emotions, I can help you uncover the root cause of these feelings and free yourself from the obsolete beliefs and behaviors that keep you from living the life you always dreamed of living. As a "brain trainer", learning leader, and Supt. of Schools I have helped 1000's of children, teens, and adults find personal success.

Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety, disappointment or sadness from time to time. You may be struggling with relationships, your career or perhaps you are coping with a loss or life transition. Overcoming life's challenges can be difficult. Although challenging, these difficulties are treatable. Making the decision to contact a therapist to get help is not easy, but an important first step to feeling better. Finding a highly trained, experienced "results-oriented" therapist who you feel comfortable working with is critical. For the past 20 years I have been providing psychotherapy here in the US and internationally.

Welcome! Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, unfulfilled or invalidated at work or in your relationships? Experiencing intense sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness, stuck in unsatisfying or self-defeating patterns? Worried about a struggling child or challenged by a troubled teen or difficult family member? Having romantic/marital difficulties, contemplating breakup/divorce? I can help. Together we can build a compassionate, empathic "team effort" that builds upon & enhances your existing strengths, helps you learn new, optimal coping strategies & communication & relationship skills, heals pain and suffering, overcomes obstacles, optimizes career, school or family wellbeing & success, enhances feelings of life satisfaction and fulfillment, and maximizes your and your loved ones' potential.

It’s been tough. You are struggling and have tried everything from meditation to herbal supplements, yet you still can’t get past that barrier to your happiness. You may have even tried therapy and although it helped, it still didn’t completely do it for you. Now what? You are not broken. Often, the general focus in treatment has been on feeling good rather than being good. It is exactly what we are taught since day one. If you are willing to break out of this cycle, we will work together to build your holistic resilience.
