Psychoanalytic Therapists in Massapequa Park, NY

Do you feel you are becoming who you are meant to be? Change comes from within. And I mean, truly from within, through reorganizing and enhancing your neural networks of memory and beliefs using bilateral stimulation. It sounds a bit technical, but its easy to do and it works. Many of us feel there is more to us. There is so much good waiting and wanting to come out. Anxiety, depression, trauma, our upbringing and negative beliefs get in our way. I help you find all that good within you. I help you to find your true Authentic Self. For more details check out my website.

My work involves helping my patients develop both insight and understanding regarding the difficulties or struggles he or she is having negotiating life transitions such as relationships, family issues, aging, and alcohol abuse.

Difficulties with intimacy are prevalent. People are pessimistic and frightened of marriage. Levels of anxiety, depression, and "pushing away" defense mechanisms are increasing and we tend to seek the emotionally familiar. We fall in love based on our earliest experiences with bonding, or lack of it. Thus, if these feelings are based upon aberrations of bonding, we are constantly drawn to those who cannot bond & connect. If you continually repeat the same mistakes in your life you may be emotionally "stuck" due to these early feelings.

To be heard in a non-judgmental, empathic way provides an environment to safely explore your relationship with others and with yourself. To be heard and have that understanding communicated in clear, compassionate terms helps support you while we explore its meaning and consequences. When better ways of dealing with life stressors are discovered, unsuccessful ways of coping are automatically shed and new skills appear.
