Therapists in Oyster Bay, NY

I am available to help individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. The first step is talking with someone compassionate who listens and tries to understand the world from your perspective. I know the importance of the relationship between therapist and client; therefore, I take a client-centered approach. Being able to tell your story and process it is the first step toward healing and initiating change. My approach is integrative, where I employ different therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs best.

Helping individuals, couples and families for over 35 years in private practice and clinical settings integrating nutritional, eclectic behavioral and cognititve therapies

My practice commitment is to identify and transform what unconsciously drives your choices and unsatisfying results, so that you find the freedom to manifest what you intend. Are there patterns in your life you wish weren't there? Are you unhappy in your relationship or unhappily single? Are you struggling with some aspect of parenting? Are you sad or anxious about anything? It would be my privilege to provide you confidential support in removing the unconscious obstructions that prevent you from living an authentic, fulfilling life. Take the first step towards making better choices for a new future. Call me.

As you can imagine, relatability is key when it comes to the therapy room! We each have experiences that shape the way we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I will help you reconnect with yourself and build genuine and thriving relationships. I am a Clinical Social Worker with more than twelve years of experience supporting teens, adults, and couples in overcoming anxiety/depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and chronic stress.

I can help if you have a child with behavioral or emotional problems. I can also help you if you are an adult suffering with anxiety, depression, or problems with your relationships. Once we share an understanding of the problem/diagnosis, I use supportive evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy tailored to your expressed needs. With children, I always fully involve the parents in treatment. With couples, I provide effective and exciting sessions that improve relationships by improving communication. I love dogs and specializes in pet bereavement therapy. Patients are welcome to bring their dogs to the office.

Do you find that worrying and stress are impacting your everyday functioning? Do you have difficulty sleeping due to thinking about everything that happened today and anticipating concerns for tomorrow and next week? If at times you feel overwhelmed or stuck and don't know what to do, know that you are not alone! Working together, we will focus on the areas you want to improve in your life. We will move forward together and build on your strengths so you can thrive in your life. I work with high functioning and high profile clients so they can reach their goals and live a more fulfilling and happier life.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

Hi, I'm Dr. Allegra Borghese. I'm passionate about helping people connect to their innate resources for healing and making meaning. Through a warm and committed therapeutic alliance, I foster awareness and growth in children, adolescents, and adults to overcome life's challenges. In addition to my doctorate from Fordham University, my training includes work in psychiatric hospitals, VA hospitals, addiction and eating disorder facilities, college counseling centers, and communities clinics.

At our sessions, we'll be using a blend of two powerful techniques: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Oriented Brief Treatment (SOBT). CBT helps us understand how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors, while SOBT focuses on finding practical solutions to the challenges you're facing. Together, we'll work on both managing your current struggles and building skills to navigate future ones. It's about finding the balance between understanding what's going on and taking action to make positive changes in your life."

Are you living with depression, bipolar, anxiety and/or panic attacks? Do you struggle dealing with the symptoms and have tried other treatment approaches and nothing seems to help? I will help you feel at ease during your therapy session to talk about your struggles and learn techniques to improve your quality of life. I specialize in working with adults (ages 18+) in the treatment of ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder) and trauma therapy for PTSD.

Are you feeling fulfilled in life? Struggling with daily or long term stressors? Feeling depressed or anxious? Having difficulty expressing your thoughts and feelings? This is your opportunity to begin your journey towards growth and change. Meeting goals can exceed your own expectations, often leading to overcoming barriers you have been challenged with.

Slowing down is hard when our lives are busy, and we feel out of balance—it can feel like there is very little time to work on ourselves.  Therapy is about creating space for positive change. When we do manage to slow down and make room for ourselves, we can grow and create lasting adjustments that make our lives more balanced.  Entering therapy provides that space and opportunity. I work collaboratively with my clients, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore issues, gain perspective, develop new and creative coping skills, and strengthen one’s relationship with themselves and with others.
