Therapists in Oyster Bay, NY

All of us have the "tools" within us to help ourselves. As a psychotherapist, I will help you find those inner "tools" and we will use them to guide you through emotional difficulties, relationship issues and many of the other challenges we face in life.

You deserve to live a happier and healthier life. Together, we can begin to understand your situation, and then create a plan that will address the issues that are causing you stress. Do you feel overwhelmed with issues that are unmanageable to deal with? Are you unsure about how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool utilized to help resolve the problems you are experiencing. It strengthens our coping tools and our sense of self. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, compulsions/addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem, and developing action plans to address goal setting.

My goal is to help you achieve a sense of control over your life, your choices, and your relationships. Oftentimes people come to therapy when they feel dissatisfied with some or all areas of their lives and they can't seem to figure out why or what to do about it. Through empathic listening, warmth, humor, and genuine engagement, I help people gain insight into their unique ways of thinking and operating and then work to build up strong, self-affirming thoughts and compassionate feelings to combat negative patterns. Therapy is hard work, but so worth the investment!

I am a clinical therapist and professor who practices in New York and Massachusetts. Many times, challenges, pain, loss, and even suffering hold just as much a place in our lives as happiness, joy, peace and triumph. Utilizing best-practices and empirical knowledge, my hope is for our journey to be an intricate process of joining and receiving; discovering and growing; learning and practicing. My approach is integrative, taking into consideration all the systems within you, including race, culture and environment. I aim to hold a warm and supportive space wherein empowerment, balance and growth can be achieved.

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. My primary goal is to make each of my client’s therapeutic experiences as comfortable and safe as possible. I have worked with clients of all ages, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors. Using a client-centered approach, I work with my clients to develop positive coping skills in order to tackle life’s stressors. I have experience working with clients with a variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

Mental health counseling demands a level of professionalism and a great deal of dedication. Integrity, genuineness, and a passion for the field of mental health are some of the assets I possess which will allow me to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I am dedicated to understanding your concerns and identifying a safe way to navigate through them. You will be validated and heard and together we will establish an individualized and collaborative plan that works for you. I utilize a person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and eclectic approach that will cater to your individual needs.

Психотерапия это помощь человеку снять стресс, расширить возможности выбора, увидеть новые стратегии поведения, а также восстановить возможность клиента справляться с проблемами самостоятельно.

Из любой ситуации можно найти выход и с психологом этот путь пройти намного проще. Вы сможете обрести опоры и стабильность в вашей жизненной ситуации.

If you are feeling weighed down by depression, anxiety, past traumas, or other struggles, know that you are not alone in your journey. These feelings can be daunting, and it's natural to seek support when navigating them. In our sessions, my primary goal is to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can explore your challenges together and facilitate healing. Through our collaboration, you will find the tools and support to face these challenges head-on.

I have extensive experience working with young adults striving to live intentional lives full of purpose and meaning in a chaotic world they did not make. My clients experience low self-esteem, cross-generational conflict, anxiety about the future, and sadness about the past. We explore experiences regarding family, feeling loved in intimate relationships, communicating effectively, and questioning spirituality. The clients I work with want to be seen for who they are while feeling comfortable in their skin.

Relationship strain, communication issues, PTSD, anxiety, trauma, mistrust of happiness and feelings of depression are some of the experiences I help you heal from. I work with folks whose past pains are inhibiting present fulfillment within relationships and quality of life. We work together to navigate stressors and responsibilities they are expected to keep up with, while managing past pains to relearn safety on their current path. I treat the person as a whole- meaning in addition to your psyche, I also take into account your environmental, circumstantial, and physical self and how that impacts your mental health overall.

“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.

I am an extensively published, world-travelled expert on trauma and chronic illness. I conduct therapy in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, and Dutch. For the past 25 years, I have been assisting individuals with ADHD/behavioral challenges, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, depression, bipolar disorder, and physical illness.

We are lucky to live during a time when therapy is seen as a necessity and is no longer considered taboo. Being able to ask for help is a strength not a weakness. We cannot control the world or people around us, but we can learn how to deal with our own emotions instead.
