Video Game Addiction Therapists in New York

I specialize in emotional disturbances, low self-esteem, relationship issues and video game addiction. Whether you need open-ended therapy emphasizing self-exploration and personal growth or a more focused approach, my aim is to provide an environment that is validating, non-judgmental, and genuine, while at the same time encourage effective change. I strive to facilitate an experience that helps clients: reduce suffering, develop the skills they need, and create a sense of meaning in their lives. I can help provide a supportive, non-judgmental setting for success or a push to help you confront your current life issues.

I always enter into relationship with individuals, couples and families from a place of compassion, honesty and respect. I've seen tremendous life changes happen faster than you might think possible. My central focus is on improving yourself by improving your relationships.

As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, my passion lies in understanding and supporting individuals with unique interests. Both my therapy work and past research work in my dissertation focus on helping to cultivate the elements of our lives we love and how to use those passions to bridge the distance between ourselves and communities where we can thrive. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, or something else - my goal is to make therapy an approachable space for you to thrive.

I am currently taking new patients who are experiencing problems with work, school and/or relationships that are due to obsessive and problematic usage of Internet/video games/smartphones and other electronic screens. Depression and anxiety are often associated with excessive use of these interactive technologies. Over the past 15 years, I have seen a significant rise in my practice in people who have experienced major difficulties that have been rooted in spending too much time online, or excessively involved in one or more forms of interactive technology.

When learning difficulties, and/or emotional/behavioral issues negatively impact social, academic, or work performance, it may signal the need for formal psychological testing. I conduct the following types of assessments, including but not limited to: Giftedness, Learning Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Testing for Accommodations (e.g., Extended Time). I have over 25 years experience performing psychological evaluations in many different settings, including schools (elementary, middle, high school, college), inpatient/outpatient psychiatric clinics, forensic settings, and in my private practice.

Life Is Hard! In today's climate many are struggling with anxiety and depression. Relationships are being tested. Individuals with addiction issues are struggling to maintain their recovery. Many feel disconnected, hopeless and doubt their ability to resolve their own problems. If you identify with these feelings, I can help you. I am an LCSW-R with years of clinical experience helping individuals and couples improve their lives. I have extensive experience working with individuals and loved ones impacted by addiction. I currently see clients remotely who reside in the state of NY. I also see clients in-person in Garden City, NY.

I bring over 25 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, ADD, PTSD, LBGQT in a compassionate safe environment where all emotional challenges are welcome. My sessions offer a wide range of options to fit your specific needs. This also includes play therapy for children. My methods are more Holistic and Humanistic than traditional psychotherapy. Together we will explore finding solutions.

Finding the right therapist can be very confusing and overwhelming! On your initial visit, I will spend a generous amount of time with you on your presenting concerns and your goals for therapy. Having 20 years of experience, I can assess the therapy method most likely to be effective for your specific situation. My specialty is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and I find most clients achieve significant progress with this method. However, if I feel CBT is not appropriate for you, I have a number of experienced colleagues in my practice with different methods I can recommend (behaviorhealthny.com).

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.
