1300 Union Turnpike Suite 304 New Hyde Park, NY 11040
I work with both children and adults to treat problematic areas, such as anxiety, relationship issues, or behavioral concerns. I establish, together with the patient, unique goals to assist them in their quest toward a more comfortable life, in whatever way they desire. Treatment can be short term or long term, depending upon the patient's needs and desires.
I offer therapy services to both children and adults.
The most important part of therapy, regardless of the therapist's orientation, is to establish a relationship, a connection, based on empathy and understanding of the patient's unique situation.
