Therapists in Plainview, NY

My name is Roy Berman, L.C.S.W., B.C.D. , C.A.S.A.C., C.S.A.T. I have been a psychotherapist over forty years and I was clinically trained at Columbia University School of Social Work. I also have over two thousand hours of training in the addictions. My areas of specialty are alcoholism, substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, compulsive over-eating, co-dependency and how these disorders affect the family. I am a psychodynamic and interactive psychotherapist. I actively get involved with my clients, constantly offering feedback and interpretation, not afraid to actively participate in the therapeutic process.

The most rewarding thing I do is help people create more intimacy & vulnerability with themselves and others. One of my main focuses is helping clients embrace their relationships in healthier ways. I enjoy working with clients who have blocks that are keeping them from desired romantic relationships. Together we can address underlying stresses from trauma or current triggers and work through them, developing new coping skills along the way. I believe individuals understand their strengths and limitations best, and so my task will be in helping to deepen awareness.

Choosing which therapist is right for you can be a tough decision, so to help, here's a little bit about me. I'm warm, compassionate, and intuitive, setting up an environment that is comfortable and non-judgmental. Together we will work to explore and process concerns. As this happens, we are able to peel layers and gain insight into these issues so that you can understand what needs to be done to create effective change .

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

Hi, my name is Kathleen Dwyer Blair (LCSW). As the Owner of Nassau Guidance & Counseling and a practicing psychotherapist for the past 30+ years, I know that life can sometimes be overwhelming & painful – so much so, that you feel stuck wondering if sustainable change is simply impossible. Our goal is simple: to help you get unstuck. We match our clients with therapists based on their specific needs, preferences, & therapists' expertise. Whether you need a grief counselor, anxiety therapist, depression counseling, trauma specialist, or relationship therapy, our therapists are here to provide the tools you need to move forward.

My goal as a counselor is to provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, and difficulties, and work towards goals of happiness, stability, and serenity. A main focus of my work is to help each client to achieve a connection between mind, body, and soul; to reach a sense and feeling of peace in the present moment. Sometimes, this includes healing wounds of the past. I firmly believe in meeting the client where they are at, and working together, step-by-step, on moving forward.

Anxiety, insecurity, anger and depression get in the way of success and even more than that - they get in the way of you being happy with yourself and your life. Freeing yourself of these issues gives you the opportunity to experience life in a new way that improves your life, relationships, and your performance at work/school. Therapy can help you with these issues and you can begin to enjoy life again.

Using the science-based technique (CBT) cognitive behavior therapy, I will help you explore thoughts about people, places, and things in your life. We can either learn to be happier in the lives we have, or gain the strength and motivation to change it into the life we want. Therapy is best when it is a conversation between two genuine people. I like the analogy of the therapist as a seasoned woodsman, who meets you, lost in your personal forest. As you walk and talk, the woodsman subtly uses known cues about how to get out of the woods.

During these difficult economic times, an experienced and sensitive therapist may be just what you need to help you with individual, marriage, and family psychological issues. I am a licensed psychologist, a supervisor and trainer of marriage and family therapy students at Hofstra University, and have over 35 years of experience working with patients who have experienced financial stress, depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, medical issues, loss, and grief.

I sincerely believe that people can change. Sometimes we just need help navigating that process. If you are experiencing distress, despair, or maybe just feel lost, I will help you find a solution. My approach involves helping people get unstuck from the destructive traps that we find ourselves in. I can help you tap into your internal strength, tenacity, and motivation. This will empower you to not only achieve your goals, but sustain them long-term. I do this through effective therapy techniques backed by scientific research, coupled with compassion, support, and encouragement. In our sessions, we can heal your suffering together.

I offer affordable & knowledgeable sexual addiction recovery care that is Biblically centered, and clinically sound. I'm a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) trained thru IITAP. I'm also a trained thru APSATS in the multidimensional Partner Trauma Model. I work as a Marriage & Family Therapist, and Board Certified Coach. I alsoprovide pastoral counseling if desired, and I have experience supporting Jewish couples. I will utilize an individual's faith perspective to their desire or comfort. I help men and their partners, heal and grow, from unwanted sexual behaviors, infidelity & partner betrayal. Affair recovery is possible.

Although I specialise in sex and porn addiction treatment, my work encompasses more than just helping my clients stop their self-destructive behaviours. Of course, sexual sobriety is crucial for therapeutic progress, but I have found that healing the childhood neglect and abuse that--without exception--underlie the development of a sexual addiction is also essential if the individual is to have the truly transformative recovery he or she deserves. I aspire to offer patience, empathy, expertise, and loving, respectful care to my clients, which I hope they experience from me in our work together.

I work with clients struggling with sexual addiction or sexually compulsive behaviors. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, safe space for clients to talk about the behavior patterns that trouble them, to gain awareness of why these patterns have been so hard to change, and to support them in taking steps toward lives of greater authenticity and fulfillment. I also work with intimate partners who have been impacted by sexually compulsive behavior, both individually and in couples therapy.
