Drug Abuse Therapists in Jericho, NY

Welcome, and bravo for reaching out for help. The fact that you are searching for a therapist in your area means that you are insightful, brave, and ready to take the journey toward living your best life! My name is Carol McKinney, Executive Director of Victory Recovery Partners in Massapequa, NY. I am a NYS licensed professional who is passionate about helping individuals with substance abuse and/or alcohol issues reach their road to recovery.

I like to approach therapy with compassion, a sense of humor, and without judgment. I take an interactive approach in helping you with your current stressors. I utilize strength-focused and evidence based techniques to allow each client to regain control and peace in their life. My goal is to help you restore balance and feel like your best self again. Therapy is an opportunity to make a change in your thoughts and behaviors, improve relationships, manage life stressors, get support, and overcome obstacles by exploring these parts of your life, we will be able to develop a plan that will best suit your therapeutic needs.

My belief is that each client is unique, and therefore no single style of treatment can be utilized for every situation. Having over twenty-three years working in the fields of mental health and substance abuse, I believe in empowering people to develop and achieve their personal goals rather than dictating the course of treatment for them. Every individual comes to therapy with the hope of making some positive change. I give them the tools they need to make this possible. The client is always in the driver's seat, no exceptions in this regard.

Are you experiencing stress , anxiety, depression or have an addiction problem? Have you had unresolved trauma? Art is an expressive medium which helps facilitate communication, reduce stress/anxiety and explore the different aspects of yourself. I use psychotherapy as well as the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the mental, physical and emotional well being of individuals of all ages in a fun non-threatening approach.

I have always had a strong passion to support others along their journey of life. As we know, this often comes with struggle along with beauty. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients to open up and process their deepest pain and personal experiences that impact who they grow to become. Our relationship with ourselves is the most important one we will ever have, and I emphasize the importance of self-worth, perceptions on oneself and others around them, and bringing understanding to unfortunate life events. I have confidence that every person is capable of overcoming whatever is thrown their way.

Are you tired of feeling frustrated or ineffective in achieving your goals? Are your relationships causing you more pain than pleasure? You do not have to live this way. Consulting with a therapist about upsetting or confusing issues can be very helpful. Please contact me; I would like to help you. Working as a psychotherapist using multiple approaches with individuals, families, and couples, I treat depression, anxiety, addictions, parenting, marital, bereavement, divorce and career issues. With support and compassion, clients are helped to examine their beliefs, feelings and personal relationships and create desired goals.
