Parenting Therapists in Mount Sinai, NY

I have been working remotely since the pandemic. I have not observed a significant difference in the efficacy of treatment delivered in this format and the advantages are many. I am most effective in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, an inability to prosper, find happiness or enjoy satisfying relationships with others. I work well with men and women of all ages and adolescents. For those who wish to be understood and understand themselves I am a good choice. It is the very act of making oneself known to others that is therapeutic. In so doing we become known to ourselves as well.

One of the most challenging steps in the process of facilitating change is that in which the person realizes a change is needed. A client may seek my counseling services, specifically, for a number of reasons. In a broad sense, I provide psychotherapy to individuals who may be facing a stressful life event / change, who are struggling with depression or anxiety, or may be looking for assistance developing the coping skills necessary to succeed in their life. I also specialize in working with individuals suffering from anticipatory grief due to the impending loss of a loved one, caregiver burnout, and bereavement.

Are you seeking a change in your life? Is it for personal growth or for changing unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns?

I have 15 years of experience working in the community with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, and other disorders as well. I’ve worked with adults, adolescents, and children in varied settings. In inpatient hospital settings, and partial hospital settings as well as at my private practice. I use varied therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the specific needs of my client. I utilize empathy and compassion to tailor my therapeutic interventions to the needs of you or your child. I can assist with family issues, behavioral issues, marital issues and psychiatric issues.

Taking the first step is often the hardest step to take when you finally decide you need a change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over thirty years, I have helped adults and adolescents make necessary changes in their lives. I am compassionate, patient and easy to talk to. I encourage you to call me so that we can set up your first appointment and take the first step towards finding solutions for the issues you are struggling with.

You, too, can be a young person who is happy where they are and excited for where they are going! As a licensed mental health counselor working primarily with teens, college-age, and young adults, I am passionate about helping young people identify and address their needs in order to help them reach their full potential. I have an abundance of experience in working with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, peer relationships, family conflict, and college/career readiness.

Providing home based therapy allows me to more easily connect to my clients. My passion is to work with children, adolescents and their families. Sometimes life stressors can have a negtive impact on our life. After completing a thorough assessment, together we will develop a treatment plan to address a child/adolescents individual concerns, or a families concerns. I believe that a significant part of therapy is to expose my clients to a variety of coping skills and practice them until they are used in their day to day life.

Motivation to change can be difficult when bogged down with the day to day challenges of life. As a therapist I enjoy working with clients to sort through the barriers that keep them from the success they deserve in life. Facing our problems by learning the new skills necessary to resolve them will lead to a more successful and satisfying life.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming for teens, and adults. School, work, relationships, family issues, trauma, life transitions and social pressure can become challenging to cope with. These difficulties, in addition to other personal struggles, can lead to trouble in school or work, anxiety, depression, PTSD, opposition and defiance, irritability, relationship instability, feelings of low self esteem, and other concerns. We can work together to help you, or your child navigate a way towards a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

We all yearn to feel understood, validated and accepted; to find balance in thought, feeling and action. Often we can feel stuck in an emotional state (i.e. sadness, depression, anxiety, fear, etc.), a particular situation or a toxic relationship with ourselves or others. Psychotherapy can bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves and process life's turbulence as well as it's gifts. With insight, compassion and a little bit of humor we will work to incorporate emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of self in order to help you access your strengths and intuition to become your most authentic self.

I work with clients ready to do the work of connecting with the self in the present moment. As a certified mindfulness instructor and a mindfulness practitioner, I bring mindful presence to the therapeutic process. Using somatic, integrative, intuitive and mindful self-compassion principles, I hold space for my clients to understand their inner wisdom and knowing. Clients who are willing to cultivate awareness and recognize their patterns, conditioning and reactivity based on their childhood and environment will benefit greatly from our therapeutic relationship.

A comprehensive assessment of each individual's needs will be the first step to determine the type of treatment. Respect for each individual's time, circumstances and targeted goals will be kept in the forefront of all treatment decisions. I welcome parents to be prepared to participate thoroughly in the treatment of their child, preteen or adolescent. Therapeutic care requires commitment from the family and the individual. Adult clients will value the secure and growth promoting interventions used that lead to meaningful emotional regulation and change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years in practice. I seek to provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment in which clients can explore their struggles and how to best address them, in order to experience more peace and live more authentically. I employ a variety of techniques to achieve these goals, including CBT, psychoanalytic, coping strategies, family systems and most importantly, Rogerian based humanistic treatment. My belief about therapy is that it should be client centered; that every person is unique, and should be treated as an individual.
