If you are seeking a compassionate, highly trained psychotherapist you have found the right person. I enjoy a full-time private practice and offer flexible and convenient daytime and evening appointments to meet my clients needs. Through mutually defined goals and meaningful therapeutic relationships I help clients relieve their suffering. I have 28 years of professional experience and was a successful Director of a licensed out-patient mental health clinic for 10 years. I have helped people heal from anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, depression, marital discord, eating disorders, addictions, intense grief, attention-deficit disorder and issues of post traumatic stress.

At New Generation Mental Health Counseling, we envision our ideal clients as individuals—adolescents and adults—who are striving to navigate the complexities of their mental and emotional landscapes. They may be facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, or transitional life changes. Their needs are diverse, ranging from seeking understanding and coping mechanisms to exploring deep-seated emotions and behaviors. Their goals are unified in the desire to lead happier, healthier lives, filled with resilience and personal growth.

DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION WE ARE OFFERING VIDEO SESSIONS IF NEEDED. I have been coaching clients in the New York area for the past 20 years as they make positive, life-altering changes via individual, couples, family and group counseling. Through carefully guided exploration, my clients uncover behavioral patterns that keep them from the happiness they desire by learning strategies for managing stress, working through loss, creating loving, productive relationships, finding spiritual fulfillment and living more intentional, mindful lives.

Maggie takes a holistic approach and truly sees each client as an individual, tailoring treatment to incorporate clients' unique strengths and desires. She mixes cognitive behavioral therapy techniques with psychodynamic, mindfulness, and person-centered methods to reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and more. She works with clients to make lasting change by increasing insight and addressing underlying issues that are the source of their distress. She has worked for a suicide prevention/crisis hotline, counseled individuals who are homeless, volunteered with hospice patients, and worked with clients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

No matter where you are in your life, therapy is a way to alleviate stress and build clarity about your feelings. My goal is to collaborate with you to gain insight, build effective coping skills, and get in touch with your intuition. Whether you've had therapy before, or if you want to try something new, it can be difficult to start. I know many people find it hard to meet a therapist they connect with, but it is important you feel safe in the therapeutic space. I aim to support my clients in better understanding how to break out of cycles, overcome obstacles, and build greater self-assurance.

My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.

The Corona Virus has wreaked havoc on our lives. While we have come a long way from the early days of the pandemic, fears of contracting the virus are still present. Some may be grieving the loss of a loved one who died from the virus. Healthcare workers, doctors and unformed service personnel witnessed the unimaginable. Prolonged quarantine put stress on families and marraiges. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks of what you experienced, you are not alone. You don't have to deal with the aftermath of Corona Virus by yourself. I am here to hear to get you back on track and life again.

Clients I work with are often experiencing feelings of instability, rigidity, and isolation. I work to establish trust and introduce art as a creative tool to support goals of building self-awareness and relational skills. People who need support can come to me to co-create adaptive strategies to manage stress, overwhelm, and hopelessness.

As a Therapist and Life Coach I often wear many hats. My current roles include being the Executive Director of Social Butterflies Psychotherapy where our therapist provide virtual appointments and in-person appointments at our newest locations in Garden City, Long Island, NY and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. My passion is to Mentor aspiring Clinicians that want to build their own practices. At Creative Care Group I supervise Clinicians and Interns. Our clinicians are dedicated to providing the best in behavioral & mental health services. We are currently offering individual, family, couples therapy at all of our locations.

My professional areas of expertise are comprised of the following areas: Mental Health Counseling- (Individual, Group and Family counseling), Employee Training and development; Anger Management; Evidence Based practices- (Trauma Informed care, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Planning).

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes - Jung. I am a very curious, detail-oriented, and interactive therapist, with an approach that is thoughtful conversational collaboration with the goal of understanding your 'why' and effectively assessing and creating a plan for how to move forward towards the change you are looking for.  In working with me, we will be addressing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they effect your everyday life, and we will identify the barriers and patterns that you feel don't align with how you want to truly live your life.

Our mission is to help you manage your stress and achieve a life that feels both satisfying and rewarding.

WHY THERAPY? Finding a therapist or counselor can be an anxiety-provoking pursuit. In my experience, people seek treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety/stress, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and so on. Seeking therapy is an act of maturity and strength! It says that you recognize that you are unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and that you ultimately want to function and feel better.

For over 22 years, I've enjoyed helping people to develop strategies to reduce stress/anxiety, depression, and successfully navigate common life issues related to career, life transitions, and grief/loss. As we all are trying to cope with the current crisis, we are having to adjust and find ways to maintain our mental health, relationships, friendships, and health. I offer phone and video (FaceTime & Zoom) sessions until we get out of this crisis and can resume office visits. I have sliding scale rates based on household income. Please contact me for more information. Wishing everyone the very best during these challenging times.

Everyone has the potential for greatness, it's a matter of how we learn to use life's experiences, challenges and triumphs to actualize the best of who we are. My goal is to work together to build on your strengths to help make lasting changes and move towards leading a content and fulfilling life. Working in the mental health field for over 20 years, I have worked with a wide range of individuals specifically LGBTQ singles and couples. I use a straight forward and supportive approach to help you understand and work through your struggles.

Are you feeling overwhelmed managing issues on your own and unsure what can be done? Let’s work together to understand why this continues to happen and point you to new ways that will help you get to a better place. We will explore how past experiences are impacting you today and identify thought patterns or behaviors that are standing in the way of your growth. My goal is to guide you in addressing challenges connected to anxiety, trauma, stress, or self-esteem to help you live a more fulfilling life.

I recognize the impact of stress and mental health on daily life. It can be a struggle to manage everything at once. I utilize different modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and more to instill confidence towards tackling any stressors that arise. I would love to provide you with tools and emotional support on your journey towards improved mental wellbeing!

I also help clients improve their experience in relationships as we address issues like codependency, conflict, communication, and more. My clients describe me as calm, down-to-earth and non-judgmental as I support them in reaching the individual goals that they have set for themselves.
