Group meets in Baldwin, NY 11510
My areas of specialty are working with individuals, couples (premarital/marriage), adolescents, and families; providing mediation and conflict resolution services for groups; and supporting those suffering the effects of loss, trauma, grief, and bereavement.
I am a bilingual therapist -English & Spanish - I approach my work with the premise that every human being is born with infinite potential, regardless of history, circumstances or origins. My goal is to invite clients on a journey of awareness, self-discovery, and hope. Under the blueprint of a Cognitive Behavioral approach, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, I become a journeying companion and a guide to help my clients sculpt their own vision of a better future, by challenging faulty beliefs and assumptions that may have become embedded. I believe in the power available to all through the divine Creator
The group provides a space where members can share their grief and find comfort in the understanding of others. Annie introduces various coping strategies to help members navigate their grief, from mindfulness practices to shared storytelling. Members form a network of support, offering each other comfort and understanding during difficult times. Annie has over 25 years of experience helping people live their best life. Several insurance plans accepted. This group is in-person.
My clients want to work with me to achieve their goals and resolve any conflict they are experiencing in their life. I enjoy working with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, OCD, addictive behaviors, eating disorders (specialize), difficult life experiences, trauma, ASD, medically compromised family issues, chronic mental health issues. I truly enjoy helping my clients with grief and loss so that they can move on from grief while holding onto their loved ones/or things. I like family involvement or family work because I look at barriers as a family of origin issue and a family goal, not just the “identified patient”.
Bereavement Group beginning Thursday, 7/11/24.Most insurances accepted. Call Marie (516) 790-4451.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist.
Are you are grieving a death, divorce, broken relationship, loss of pet, an extramarital affair, or any number of losses that occur over a lifetime? Grieving is a normal and natural reaction. My speciality is working with adults who are grieving, be it recent or years ago. You will learn how to handle the plethora of broken hopes, dreams and the things you wish could have been different or better.
This group is centered around women who are struggling with fertility issues, grieving the loss of a newborn or miscarriages. The group is a support system to help these women share insight, offer encouragement and support to one other during these difficult times.

Group meets in Valley Stream, NY 11580
I work with adults, couples, adolescents and families, on a broad range of topics including relationship difficulties, stress management, depression, anxiety, childhood challenges, school related issues,anger management, marital and pre-martial issues, co-parenting, divorce, domestic violence, and bereavement.
Sometimes we become overwhelmed with life's many challenges and can't seem to get things right. Stress can overtake our lives and leave us feeling bog down, thus feeling stagnant or repeating the same negative patterns. Together I can help you achieve a personal sense of well being through counseling. My therapeutic approach is an interactive goal oriented approach using cognitive behavior therapy. Our thoughts, emotions and behaviors essentially create our lives! They can create within us tremendous sadness or overwhelming joy.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
