Therapists in Smithtown, NY

Far too often we suffer in silence. Perhaps you feel misunderstood, or feel unable to commute what think & feel. No one knows your secret, that something is “wrong”. You try to devise a plan to feel better. Trying to prioritize your needs & make positive changes. You start reading self-help literature, or start exercising. But nothing seems to help & life starts to feel unmanageable .Getting through each day becomes a challenge. "No man is an island". Therapy can be the life line you need most during times of need. You no longer have to do this alone. You're ready to quiet the inner critic and ready to find your happiness again.

Great to meet you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience. I enjoy working with others and passionate about guiding people along their therapeutic journey for healing. Please click on "My Website" to book an intake appointment immediately!

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and the geriatric population and has treated individuals who have comorbid mental health diagnosis. I work with individuals struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, substance use disorders while utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and a person-centered approach to help you gain perspective and understanding to emotional distress.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

The decision to see a therapist is a personal one and perhaps the most important factor in that decision is the connection you make with the therapist that you choose. I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

TODAY is the day to start improving your emotional wellness. I believe therapy is a vehicle to become emotionally secure, balanced, fulfilled and happy. My promise to you is to create a safe space to unfold, unravel and rebuild. We will explore the sources of negativity in your life and practice coping skills to heal by finding your happiness! Please note, I am a proud member of a practice, Cunningham Counseling Services, and we offer multiple services listed below. Not all ‘specialties’ listed are unique to me but it is my mission to connect you to the best therapist for your healing & happiness!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works to diagnose and treat adolescents, adults, children and families. My specialization is on chronic health conditions/chronic pain. I have learned that people with "invisible illnesses" are often overlooked and misunderstood. My goal is to help people feel heard. Throughout my experience, I have learned that everyone needs and deserves a personalized approach to their treatment and recovery. I have found that this helps individuals tremendously with their treatment and I strive to provide that for you.

My passion and interest is in people, their stories, their struggles and their triumphs. This has led me to my mission to help people create the life they have always wanted. I passionately believe that the key of being a good therapist/counselor/coach/mentor is not to help people be something they’re not... but it’s to help people become more of who they really are!

Perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make is the decision to see a therapist. I understand how personal this is for you. The connection you make with the therapist that you choose is equally as important as taking that first step. That is why I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

People come to see me when they are experiencing anxiety, aging-related issues (change at home in accepting help or moving into an assisted living facility, multiple medical conditions, limited mobility, or upcoming retirement), and daily stress. Sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Especially when life takes some unexpected turns. To me, it is important that you never feel judged, no matter how your feelings may feel to you. Together we can find a way to improve your quality of life, get you back on track, or discover a new narrative. I view therapy as a collaborative and empowering process.

Taking the first step to change your life can be challenging and can feel overwhelming. Whether you are dissatisfied with your relationships, are feeling blocked by anxiety and fear or are struggling with parenting challenges, I can support and assist you. I utilize a variety of techniques and tailor my approach to each individual client. I will create a safe & comfortable environment where we will be able to explore what has held you back in the past. We will work together to identify and implement the changes you need to make to move forward in your life.

Are you searching for a change in your life? Are you feeling depressed, anxious or lost? I am here to offer a safe, warm, professional environment to initiate your personal mental health goals. Together we will start the journey to a healthier more peaceful you.

Hello! I understand the importance of finding someone you will feel comfortable with to discuss difficult times and intimate issues you have endured or are enduring. I will provide a comfortable and safe environment to support you through your journey of life. You will strengthen your inner character and learn new ways of managing change, distress, depression, anxiety, fear, negativity, and traumatic experiences. You will gain self-awareness and establish an array of positive and uplifting ways of thinking. In addition, work towards breaking old habits or ways of thinking that will no longer serve you as you move towards a new and brighter future.

Therapy is an opportunity to face what is challenging you in a supportive environment by enabling you to live your life the way you want. If you're looking for extra support through a difficult time or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My treatment approach is collaborative, working with clients to discover the most helpful ways to work through obstacles and achieve healthy lasting changes.

I believe that beginning therapy is a courageous and positive step for a person to take in their life and I look to welcome each individual into this journey and support them along the way. I want to help clients live a life that brings them joy and fulfillment while supporting them in times where it may feel the opposite. I believe that my clients are capable of more than they believe and there is nothing more rewarding than watching this idea come to fruition in a client’s own mind.
