Therapists in Turtle Bay, New York, NY

Welcome to my practice. I believe that reaching out for help is a brave first step in the process of improving your life. I have been working with adults, adolescents and children for over 20 years Some of the the problems I treat are difficulties with mood regulation, anxiety, depression, reproductive issues, loss, relationship issues, school difficulties, sibling issues and parent-child struggles. I've seen that patterns of painful living can be greatly improved when we achieve a more balanced life.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my practice. For the past 25 years I have been in private practice as a clinical psychologist. Although I started out specializing mainly in treating young children and families my practice has expanded over the years to include adolescents, adults and couples. I am intensively trained and qualified to provide DBT to adults, teens, children and families and also have the certification in DBT-PE for treating adults with trauma histories. Additionally I am trained in Trauma Focused Child Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and have worked with children who struggle with many types of trauma.

The bond with a therapist is at the heart of the therapeutic process. Building trust, having a safe space and connecting are paramount. Today, more people than ever suffer with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting difficulties/poor relationships and weight issues among other areas. They often feel SO stuck and unfulfilled. Clients come to me to make major changes. Therapy/Coaching are active processes. I provide a safe space for clients to be vulnerable, talk about painful issues/memories and grow/heal and push their limits. I know what it takes because I've also done it. I embrace the opportunity to help others to grow.

Greetings! I am Dr. Melita T. Stancil, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about providing practical and effective treatment that serves the individual as a whole person. My treatment for individuals and families is fueled by results from my own experience, scientific evidence and incorporating the patient’s values. In essence, each patient is cared for as a human being with unique needs. I received a Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical-Community Psychology at the University of South Carolina.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and children. In psychotherapy, I believe in creating a safe and collaborative environment that can serve as a catalyst for self-understanding and change. Through open self-expression and close listening, I seek to shed light on the multilayered nature of problems and clarify various relational, emotional and thought processes that are involved. Depending on your individual needs the work of psychotherapy may include elements of deepening insight, strengthening coping abilities or implementing life style changes.

Life can be challenging and sometimes those challenges can interfere with your relationships, work, goals and your overall wellbeing. You have taken the first step by seeking therapy and I am here to help. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist in several States, offering tele-therapy and can support you with addressing your concerns including eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, maternal mental health, addiction, relationship issues, race-based traumatic stress and parenting. I treat clients in NY, TX, NJ, PA, NC, AL, IN, FL and SC. I offer a collaborative and supportive setting to help you achieve transformative change.

NY, FLORIDA and NH licensed, plus PSYPACT- 39 states. I am a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist; Dartmouth Medical School and Weill Cornell Medical College Faculty. I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples treating diverse challenges such as stress management/resiliency, divorce, relationship issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, human potential, peak performance and brain fitness.

My specialty is narcissism. By understanding the dynamic between you and the other person, we can navigate the relationship and help you adjust your way of talking, thinking, and acting, which almost always successfully affects the other person's treatment of you. This can be a parent, friend, boss, or spouse. I have helped some couples dramatically change their relationship, even when only one part of the couple was actually my patient. If you wish to stay in the relationship I can help you manage it. Even if you and your partner don't meet a clinical diagnosis of narcissism, these tactics improve relationships and communication.

Burdening friends with your troubles drains your friends and leaves your problems intact, because friends aren't qualified to deal with your underlying issues. Through a warm and caring connection, I'll guide you as we explore issues that interfere with satisfaction in love, work, and play. So, if you're dealing with a difficult boss or the challenges of parenting, trying to start a relationship or moving on after a breakup, mourning a loss or experiencing a creative block, call me for reality-based therapy to help you find the joy in everyday life.

Are you living through hard times in your relationships? Do you feel life is unmanageable and nothing is going your way? Therapy can help! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed psychoanalyst and have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years in counseling centers and in private practice. I will help you connect painful past with current problems, resolve them, and realize your potential. I can help you change challenging family dynamics and improve parent/child relationships. I can help adolescents with their struggles at school, at home, or in social situations.

Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

I find meaning in providing a warm, validating, and gently challenging space to foster your inner growth. I value the importance of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship that feels safe and non-judgmental.
