Relational Therapists in Nassau County, NY

Over the years my team and I have helped individuals and couples through many life stages find meaning and direction. By providing feedback and reflections with kindness, sensitivity and humor, we built good psychotherapeutic relationships with respect and trust. You too can find safety and comfort during our time together in order to maximize your growth, and work toward feelings of well-being and satisfaction. Since no one person is the same, there is no one way to do psychotherapy. Your individuality will always be respected as we are sensitive to your culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and family background.

Have you been contemplating seeing a therapist but are not sure it is for you or would be helpful? There are many reasons a person may seek therapy. People usually seek therapy because they are unhappy or dissatisfied with their life and want or need change. Mental health issues, addictions to chemicals or unhealthy lifestyles, family or relationship issues or a general discontent with your life and the choices that are not working anymore are some of the reasons to seek treatment. Therapy is also a perfect addition to a wellness or self improvement and/or self exploration practice.

If you’re feeling alone you don’t have to be. If you're in pain or stuck somewhere in your life, this may be the time to move forward. I can take this journey with you. I have been practicing for over 30 years. I have worked with many individuals throughout my career on in- patient and outpatient settings. I create an inviting atmosphere for clients seeking treatment. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know." - A.A.

While earning my doctorate in child and school psychology at New York University, I had the opportunity to work in hospitals, schools and private practice providing psychotherapy and administering evaluations to children, adolescents and adults. While I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, I have a passion for working with adolescents/teenagers and young adults and guiding them to raise self-awareness, encourage self-esteem and self-love and ultimately make positive changes to become happier individuals.

For all of our individually unique strengths, skills, accomplishments and spirits, stress, obstacles, conflicts, issues, situations occur in everyone's life when seeking professional assistance can be more useful than requesting the same from a family member, partner or friend (despite their best intentions). I have spent my entire life/career (as a Volunteer; Serviceman; Business Professional and Counselor/Therapist) attempting to alleviate the pain and support and enhance the lives of individuals that I have been involved with. These sessions will represent OUR individual, integrated approach at attempting to resolve or best manage the presenting issue(s) and related obstacles, in a private, safe,and empathetic setting.

Is pain from your past and worry about your future hurting your present? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional specializing in treating adults with a history of trauma, I am dedicated to helping you achieve a deeper understanding of yourself and others in order to heal from past experiences and live the life that is reflective of who you truly are! Feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation and insecurity can impair your functioning and inhibit traumatic healing. During our sessions, I will work with you to relieve these symptoms and promote true, lasting healing!

For over 20 years I have helped clients work through aspects of their lives they find most challenging. Understanding how these difficulties affect ongoing non-productive communication, help to restore positive relational patterns and everyday interactions. Intense verbal or non-verbal chronic behavior may leave partners feeling angry, hurt or confused. Learning to observe and repair complex perceptions, helps to soften negative and reactive behaviors. Gestures, tones and shouting are all forms of communication. Each may create tension, anger or even total withdrawal. The ability to process conflicting needs allows for acceptance.

If you’ve made it here it’s likely your life and relationships are not offering you all they are meant to. Perhaps you feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed. Maybe you’re struggling with a lIfe that doesn’t feel purposeful or a relationship in which you don’t feel honored or understood. For many, our unresolved past pains and disappointments cause chronic heartache and confusion. Making your way out of this entails embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Honoring your truest self is an essential piece in reaching your potential, having rich intimate relationships and experiencing the joy, purpose & passion of being fully alive.

My objective as a Marriage and Family therapist is to collaborate with my clients, while providing a safe and non-judgmental space, to examine solutions toward stress together. I can assist individuals, couples, and families to improve their communication skills, coping methods, and boundaries to progressively move forward. Though I may be viewed as a relational expert, my diverse experience of working with multiple backgrounds, and age ranges has allowed me to understand that clients are truly the experts of their own lives, and can achieve their goals with courage as well as guidance, which I intend to provide.

I am a clinical therapist and professor who practices in New York and Massachusetts. Many times, challenges, pain, loss, and even suffering hold just as much a place in our lives as happiness, joy, peace and triumph. Utilizing best-practices and empirical knowledge, my hope is for our journey to be an intricate process of joining and receiving; discovering and growing; learning and practicing. My approach is integrative, taking into consideration all the systems within you, including race, culture and environment. I aim to hold a warm and supportive space wherein empowerment, balance and growth can be achieved.

As a licensed psychologist for almost 30 years, I am highly experienced in working with adults of all ages (emerging adults to older adults) and backgrounds to help understand or change their feelings or behaviors, or to work through a challenging situation or trauma. I use an authentic and interactive approach in working together to understand your experiences, develop goals and reach them in an open and supportive environment. I am especially drawn to helping those of diverse backgrounds, including culturally diverse and LGBTQ+ issues, in coping with mental health issues.

Making the decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one, and the fact that you've begun your search already demonstrates perseverance and motivation to feel well again. My approach to therapy is rooted in relational psychodynamic theory, but I will frequently use a variety of cognitive and behavioral techniques, depending on you and your life story. The most important part of any treatment, however, is the relationship between the therapist and the patient, and therefore it is my ultimate goal to help you feel comfortable and supported in a non-judgmental, warm environment.
