If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use or other issues maybe I can help. You don't have to continue feeling so isolated or feel you're the only person on the planet experiencing what you are going through. Having someone to talk with about your issue can be a tremendous relief and is the first step towards healing. Change is possible and can happen for anyone.

We believe there is hope and answers. At Rockland County Counseling, we offer psychotherapy for children, adults & couples. We start with a free 15 minute consultation providing an outline of your concerns in real time. We then complete a bio-psycho-spiritual-social to help us move through a framework of your life forming a deeper understanding of your overall construct. We then incorporate both CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) to treat post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, substance use, adolescent challenges and life transitions.

Asking for help is not a weakness, it is the recognition of self awareness to grow and heal. Do you struggle to manage daily stressors or life quakes from past trauma? Do you need additional tools to navigate uncharted territory? I will honor your space while you bridge the old into the new. We all experience life events differently and individually, so my approach will fit your specific needs. Your story is very personal to you and we can use this to empower your process. Focusing on the things we can change are essential to those we cannot. Let us begin to explore and learn more.

Life is about transition. And with each transition comes challenges. Some are easy and some more difficult to manage. Sometimes the challenge comes in the form of a failed relationship, sometimes we lose a loved one and feel the desolation and loneliness of dealing with life's challenges alone, sometimes anxiety takes over and renders us less capable of managing our daily responsibilities. Sometimes we act in ways that even we do not fully understand or that moves us further and further away from success, happiness and serenity.

My practice is open to kids (ages 9+), adolescents, adults, and couples with a range of psychological challenges including: depression, anxiety, alcohol & other drug addiction, marital/relationship problems, adjustment stressors, anger management, sports/peak performance, and career development. Clients who enjoy an approachable, interactive, and collaborative relationship benefit from working with me. I have extensive experience working with high school and college students. My approach is grounded in positive psychology and CBT, and the role of fitness & nutrition in optimal psychological health!

Crisis is defined as a crucial stage or turning point, and my goal is to help you to effectively navigate this turning point in your life. Often people struggle to manage their intense emotions and have difficulty with relationships and managing life issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help reduce overall distress, develop more effective communication, and build or improve relationships. I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through Behavioral Tech, and identify targets and teach skills to reduce stress and intense emotions to maintain balance and build a life worth living, and use a DBT-informed approach to treatment.

Hi! I'm Matt. We all struggle, and we all want to be happy. Whatever you're struggling with, if you're looking for greater healing, happiness, freedom, and meaning in your life, I would be happy to assist you. As a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, I am knowledgeable and skilled in working with a variety of issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, self-esteem, trauma, stress, finding purpose and meaning, issues stemming from childhood, difficulty with important decisions, major life transitions, loss and grief, habit building, helping someone you care about change, and spirituality.

Many of us may find ourselves struggling, surviving, doing what we can each day to get by. Just because this is what you have known, it does not have to be your present or future. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I have many years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families who are experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family struggles, loss, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space where these difficulties can be explored and an individual path to wellness can be created.

Has opening up about things in your life you are struggling with been difficult? Have drugs or alcohol become more and more of a problem than a solution? Perhaps you have felt there is no way out, or maybe you’ve done the hard work to make it this far but are looking for that final push to really begin living your life to its fullest again. Addiction is complicated, much bigger than substance alone, and therapy is a major component to addressing addictions from all sides, assisting you in taking back control of your life once and for all.

I approach you as a client, with the perspective that we will be working together as a "team" to identify what is holding you back from your goals in life. I help you explore all options regarding your issues, and ultimately, YOU will decide what the best path is to take in your life.

We're here to help you with any struggles you might be facing related to addiction, trauma, or mental health. We believe that everyone deserves to have their mental health treated, and we’re committed to helping you achieve that through our evidence-based treatment modalities and caring staff. Our approach includes one-on-one and group therapy, teaching you about addiction, and supporting you every step of the way to make sure you’re an active member in your recovery journey. Our goal is to help you overcome your struggles and embrace a healthier, more satisfying life through effective treatment. We are here for you.

Are you looking for a professional to help you express and communicate your emotional truth in important relationships in your life? Are you looking to find your emotional and perceptional balance in everyday life? Disconnection, loneliness, anxiety, despair, substance abuse and depression, are often the result of the inability to express ones emotional truth and find one's emotional balance in everyday life. If you or your loved one struggles in any of these areas contact me.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some wish to heal long-standing issues, while others seek to find ways to cope more effectively, improve their relationships or make better choices in their lives. Whether you wish to address a current challenge or a long-standing issue, I am prepared to support you with compassion, empathy and understanding. My approach to therapy is client-centered, interactive and collaborative. I work with you to meet your individual needs and provide you the space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer support and acceptance as you work through your challenges and move towards your goals.

Anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction can be enormously challenging. They are often intertwined with physical issues and can disrupt lives, including the lives of the people around them. As a therapist with over 30 years of experience I can share the good news that healing is possible when given the right care. My expertise is helping people with complex issues get strong and move beyond the their past. I offer a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental presence, so clients can feel safe, hopeful and heal. My experience as clinical director, clinician and supervisor allow me to bring you the highest level of evidenced based care.

Holistic therapy with quick, excellent results is what I do best. I help you get unstuck, untangled, and feeling completely better---even in your very first session. Therapy can be the first step of your journey to a healthier, more fulfilled, and inspired YOU. Do you feel discouraged, depressed, or worry too much? Have you lost your motivation to do anything but the basics? Is your marriage heading towards divorce or reeling from infidelity? Come join me for a warm, personalized experience with real solutions for results in 5-10 sessions. My patients do not just heal, they also enjoy therapy!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, working in the field of mental health for 20 years. I received a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Fordham University. I hold a Post-Master’s certificate in Clinical Practice with Adolescents at New York University. I am specialized in the area of substance abuse, holding a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification. I have significant experience in adolescent mental health and family conflict, working with both the adolescent individually and family collectively.

I enjoy my work as a therapist. The cornerstone of my success is my ability to provide a safe environment, listen intently, and genuinely engage with the individuals and families that I meet. Perhaps you are on the precipice of change, and you just can't take the first step. Maybe you are taking inventory of your life, and you need guidance on how to sum up your past and learn how to make new decisions in this moment with your eyes wide open. Together, we can sort out the transition and help you move toward positive transformation.

Taking a new look at issues in your life can feel like a daunting task. Sometimes even just beginning to speak out loud about things that have been painful or confusing can start the process of change. The trust that you develop in your psychotherapy with me creates a unique space in which you will understand things in your life more easily and deeply. This in turn will lead to your ability to make necessary changes or accept life circumstances in new and meaningful ways. The growth and change you create in psychotherapy can profoundly affect the course of your life.
