Therapists in Oyster Bay, NY

Seeking help is hard. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced for decades focusing on assisting Individuals of teenagers, adults, couples and families. I utilize insight oriented and cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-education, as well as many other therapeutic concepts to promote a supportive atmosphere so that my clients gain acceptance and control over their issues. People are not the same, neither is their treatment. When facing hard times, it's a good idea to ask for help.

I strive to cultivate a therapeutic space where clients feel safe to fully express their thoughts and feelings in an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment. I am devoted to a collaborative process of assisting individuals with identifying and achieving their goals. I believe that the therapeutic process is beneficial in helping clients gain a deeper understanding of their own emotions, attain self-efficacy on how to cope in times of adversity, and ultimately become self-aware to foster significant changes in their lives that are parallel to their genuine beliefs.

I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. I understand your concerns and can remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide culturally competent treatment. I am open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and can help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. I will work with you to get to the root of the problem, no matter how challenging it may feel.

I strive to understand each individual's issues and needs through the different phases of the therapeutic relationship. I find patterns of thinking which surface from recurrent automatic thoughts. I thus obtain a comprehensive understanding of the person in his/her functioning. Through a pro-active, attuned, caring, neutral, compassionate and non-judgmental stance, an empowering process is developed, leading to an enhancement of self-esteem. I have come to see how people can better understand themselves and their relationships, and am able to to help them make improved choices for themselves, and to live more meaningful lives.

I am a Psychotherapist, Life Coach, and Consultant. In a career that began twenty-five years ago in the Middle East, now established in NY, I have seen clients from every conceivable background who have sought nurturing guidance to face trauma, anxiety, grief and sadness. Often, whether working with persons suffering from loss or separation, abuse victims, veterans, refugees, or families of substance abusers, I have witnessed that moment of clarity in a client when they realize there is actually hope for a better, more satisfying life. This, I believe, is the essence of therapy and I strive to smooth the path towards and beyond it.

Hello and welcome to my page! I believe that all individuals are capable of healing and growth with the help of an understanding, compassionate, and supportive therapist. Therapy is a vulnerable process and I strive to provide an environment where my client feels safe. I also believe that insight alone is not enough for change to occur and therefore I bring experiential work into the room, often engaging the body and somatic experience in our work. My approach to therapy integrates Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).
