Toddler Therapists in West Hempstead, NY

Compassion is one key used in treating children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other difficulties together with their parents. In addition to guiding children to strategies to manage adversity, I teach parents how to reinforce these tactics at home between sessions. With this method, children improve quicker than they would with just one hour per week of treatment.

Perhaps, you are experiencing some difficulties in your life or are struggling with mental illness. Regardless of the severity of your problems, I am confident that I can help. Often clients are reluctant to contact a psychologist because they are afraid of what to expect. Meeting with me is in many ways like talking to a knowledgeable, good friend. You will quickly see that I love being a clinical psychologist and I love working with clients. I limit the number of clients I see each week so that each person receives the optimal level of personalized care.

I utilize a person-centered approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT with other therapeutic techniques to assist in gaining insight, self empowerment and personal growth.

The days pass and you're feeling overwhelmed,your sense of hopelessness is growing .Simple decisions become more and more difficult, as your mind keeps racing, making you feel as though your life is spinning out of control. Now is the time to seek professional help.

The divide between what we hope for in our closest relationships, and what we experience, can be wide. If our hopes for ourselves and those we love most could carry us through, there would be no need for couples/family therapy. But the demands of daily life conspire with old fears; with gaps in relationship modeling in our growing-up years; and with life events beyond our control to increase tensions, and undermine communication and connection. Judgment and anger do not have to crowd out collaboration towards mutual goals. Choosing couples/family therapy is a step away from isolation and towards the life your family envisions.
