Sexual Abuse Therapists in Lynbrook, NY

I invite you to take a journey on a "therapeutic pathway" to promote personal health and wellness. Feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious and depressed often present with the many obstacles one faces in every day life. Taking care of one's self both physically and emotionally is essential for healing. I can guide you in a nurturing, empathetic environment by giving you coping skills to reduce negative feelings and provide insight into the challenges you are experiencing. I will help you focus on living a life that is less reactive and more directed.

Have dedicated my life in accompanying people on their voyages of self-exploration to reach inner peace. Through interweaving traditional approaches with psycho-spiritual disciplines, the following theories and modalities serve as the foundation for my work: the Voice Dialogue Method, Quantum Physics theory, Hypnotherapy, Art, Movement, Dream Work and Energetics. Please tune in to my podcast called Awareness Sucks to familiarize yourself with my approach.

The stresses of life, work, relationships can to stack up in troubling ways. It can seem like everything is happening all at once. With everything you are juggling, you've probably been avoiding some hard truths and neglecting your needs. This can work for a while; but not forever. I will help you build a deeper understanding of yourself, your life, your relationship and how you can begin to shift away from unhelpful patterns. Using an active, hands on approach you will begin to envision and reach for change.

There is nothing wrong with you for feeling afraid, anxious, depressed, angry, depleted of energy, numb, lost, and confused. In fact, your courage and your willingness to be vulnerable are what make you resilient. Your body is responding to its environment, and that’s normal. It is sending you messages and we are going to decipher those messages together. Be so kind to yourself as you are about to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

It’s amazing how difficult life can be. Kensho Psychotherapy Services recognizes life can be challenging and that we all need a space to feel heard and seen. “Ken” actually means the beginning of knowing and “sho” something more. So we applaud your strength in knowing you need something more. If the day-to-day demand of school, work, family, or more complex issues like community or personal trauma or concerns for your teen or your future, you have reached the right place. Let's collaborate and get to the core issues with useful skills to navigate life.

I have over 3 decades of experience working in mental health and education. My goal has always been to support everyone of my clients to heal, while equipping them with tools so that they can regulate and care for themselves. I love to help people connect to their own light and purpose. Much of my mental health experience has been working with issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, social phobias, eating disorders, academic/test anxiety, among others. I believe that with the right intervention, most people are able to heal from many mental, emotional, and physical ailments, allowing them not just to survive, but to thrive.

Each one of us experiences challenges, hardships and pain in our life. Whether it is difficulties with relationships, family, children, work or our life stage that is troubling us. We can become bound in our past and present issues. We can feel that we are alone. However difficult our life may be, it is by seeking and desiring peace that change can happen. Therapy is where this process of change and where the work begins. It is in this therapeutic relationship that you can learn to navigate through your struggles and get to a better place in life.

We will join and bond together as a therapist and client team on a journey towards your growth and empowerment to discover the answers that lead to deeper self- awareness, inner peace, and happiness. Counseling for individuals, couples, teens, families, and kids who want to gain understanding of themselves, learn skills to manage anxiety and emotions, make sense of your past, and develop the tools to improve relationships. Counseling is client centered to meet your unique needs and preferences. We will explore the origin of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that hinder you to achieve the changes you desire.

Insight is good, but change is better! If you are strugglng with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, you may have been "just living with it" for awhile. Ask yourself: "How would my life be different if I didn't feel this way?" Seeking support can be a scary step, but when you are ready for change, it can be an enjoyable process, even when it is hard work or explores painful issues. We can work together to determine the best way to achieve your goals in a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental environment.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by internal feelings or external events, or need to respond to unexpected changes in your life, I will work with you to help you meet life's challenges. My practice focuses on the treatment of depression & anxiety; stress & PTSD; trauma & addiction recovery, as well as family & relationship issues. I am a licensed psychotherapist, complementary medicine practitioner, educator and clinical supervisor with specializations in treating trauma, stress and addiction.

I offer counseling and psychotherapy to adults in a confidential and supportive setting, and I am able to address various issues including: marital, depression, anxiety, difficulty controlling anger, workplace stress, family issues, phobias, and many others. Daytime, evening, and weekend appointments are available. Most insurance policies are accepted and a sliding scale is offered for individuals without health insurance. I can also arrange a referral to a psychiatrist for medication when necessary.

I believe therapeutic change and progress evolve through the combination of a non-judgmental, insight oriented approach and the development of a therapeutic relationship. With self understanding we gain insight into repetitive cycles that often contribute to sadness, anxiety, and relationship conflicts. In my work with clients I place emphasis on the strength of the intuitive, centered self. Throughout my training and postdoctoral work, I have had the privilege to gain experience in a variety of settings ranging from private practice, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, a residential treatment center, and outpatient clinics.

A good fit and easy relationship between therapist and patient are crucial to success. I'm a licensed psychologist who works well with children, adolescents, adults struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational issues. My work with couples and families deals with various life challenges. It takes true courage to recognize and confront the issues affecting daily functioning and satisfaction in life. If you suffer from anxiety, depression,low self-esteem, parenting issues, divorce, adoption, grief, and more, please contact me and I will help you find constructive strategies and solutions in order to live a happier life.

As a psychologist, I understand that looking for the right therapist can be daunting. By focusing on past events and their impact on your life, present issues can be better understood. My goal is to help you leave my office with a clearer understanding of yourself and better equipped to deal with life's challenges. I have received training in various treatment approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapies, Trauma Focused Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and play therapy. In my approach, I keep the client's individual needs in mind, working in a safe and collaborative manner.

I believe in an approach to therapy that simply, "starts where the client is at." Therapy should be tailored to the individual. I believe in a well-rounded approach that considers the social, psychological and biological aspects of one's life. I feel that all too often society pathologizes the individual without taking into account the past and present environmental factors that have influenced where the person is today. I provide a safe, non-judgemental and caring atmosphere to help the individual examine where they are in life and where they would like to be.

I believe in creating a warm, friendly, judge-free atmosphere for you to comfortably share and process your past or current thoughts, emotions and issues together. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, experiencing panic attacks or feeling like you’re going through a unique issue, you are not alone. Just talking and venting about your week alone, can be helpful to be able to process your thoughts and feelings with someone that will focus solely on you without any interruptions. Additionally, being multi-cultural and bilingual, has allowed me to be culturally sensitive and work well with diverse backgrounds.
