I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have experience working with diverse populations, consisting of different economic, cultural, ethnic, spiritual, racial, sexual and gender identities, as well as individuals with chronic and severe mental illness. In my practice, I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach deriving from several theoretical models. I integrate evidence based methods and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to individual needs. I draw upon various aspects of Psychodynamic, Couples and Family Systems, Client Centered, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies. My approach to couples therapy combines elements of many schools of thought as well, depending upon the needs of the couple.

If you're reading this, it is not by accident. Perhaps you're here because you're seeking help with depression, trauma, OCD, anxiety, or an addiction. Maybe you've been concerned about a loved one and are wondering what you can do to help. I will work with you to clarify and understand your concerns. Together we’ll identify your goals and the specific steps and actions we can take to help you reach them. I do hope you'll take the next step and contact me.

Do disappointing or painful memories continue to bother you? Are those unresolved issues holding you back from reaching your potential? You can move past bad memories without discussing the details. As a trauma specialist, I offer my clients a safe, comfortable place where they can briefly focus on and neutralize uncomfortable memories and feelings. Together, at your pace and comfort level, without doing traditional talk therapy, we gently extinguish bad memories and old stuck patterns of behavior so you can get on with your life.

Welcome. As a licensed professional counselor for over 20 years, I encourage you to step into a new perspective of your life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues you can overcome them. You have the power within you to change thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that are no longer serving you. The only thing I suggest is that you come to therapy with an open mind. Together we can work on things that are challenging you and look at those challenges from different perspectives to help you feel good about yourself and your life.

Understanding your child's strengths and weaknesses can help prepare your child for success. I perform psychoeducational testing in the form of neuropsychological evaluations, assessment of learning disorders (including ADHD), social/emotional evaluations, autism evaluations, and personality assessments to facilitate treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults. Assessments are individualized in order to develop a greater understanding of each person and how they can expand on their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. I also provide therapy, utilizing cognitive behavioral techniques, while being mindful of how early attachment experiences influence later relationships.

Everyone hits a bump in the road from time to time. Maybe you're going through a difficult transition, such as the loss of a job or loved one. Maybe you worry too much...but can't seem to stop. Maybe you struggle with difficult relationships--or spend so much time caring for others that you've neglected yourself. Sometimes we just get stuck, and we aren't sure why. Sharing our concerns with a caring professional can help us find solutions, improve our sense of self and our relationships, provide safety and warmth, and help us find more meaning in our lives.

Each of us are a work in progress. At different times in our lives we may need some help along the way. If you're having a difficult time in life and would like someone to help you develop the skills and techniques to live the life you want, one filled with positive thoughts and behaviors; stronger, healthier relationships, as well as a life filled with gratitude and satisfaction, I would love the opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

As a Clinical Psychologist for the past 30+ years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a wide variety of issues and concerns. While problems need to be identified, I prefer to focus on the strengths that are often obscured by the stress and the immediate crisis. As the stress becomes manageable, so too can we together discover the strengths that will result in solutions, growth and improvement. I look forward to sharing that challenge with you.

Hello and welcome! I'm a senior clinician (NY, CT) treating adults, young adults, teens, couples, and parents via evidence-based methods. After learning DBT in 2008, I created DBT partial hospital programs and SAGE, a modular intensive DBT program for emerging adults and their parents. I trained other clinicians in DBT and consulted to agencies. Today, I often use DBT to help people stick to their intentions and goals, rather than feeling controlled by their moods. I draw from DBT and CBT to help patients, parents, and couples improve relationships and face fears. I often help young adults "launch" and work with their parents.

It takes courage to try something new and I am glad you are seeking that support. I engage each client in a compassionate and individualized manner. I believe in the power of connection and collaboration. As our relationship develops, we will create an environment that not only supports you, but also empowers you to reach your goals. Together, we can set the stage for a stronger sense of self, and be proactive in creating a more secure and self-aware path.

I believe in the power of therapy and mindfulness meditation. I've been witness to the growth and flourishing of so many people, as they discover and release themselves from age-old blockages and fear. I know the power of releasing the 'inner critic' and the value of discovering 'wise mind.' My psychotherapy home office is a refuge, where you will have the space to look within, and free yourself from whatever inner cognition(s) are holding you back. I promise to bring you the most effective, evidence-based strategies, including advances in neuroscience, to increase your overall wellbeing and whole-heartedness.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 25 years of experience I work closely with my clients to help them better manage life's stressors, explore and understand the origins of their behavior and develop the best methods of coping with and reducing the symptoms of relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, loss, and family dysfunction. I tailor my methods to each individual's needs and will work with you to develop the skills needed to reverse the destructive thoughts and habits that are holding you back.

I have learned that regardless of approach, therapy works when there is a foundation built on trust, curiosity, empathy and honesty. Therapy is not prescriptive nor one size fits all. It's a process that necessitates vulnerability, and it can be difficult and painful -- as trust, honesty, change and vulnerability are. That doesn't translate into you leaving the session falling apart; my job is to create a safe space to facilitate growth at a pace you can tolerate.

Are you struggling with something and need help figuring it out? With patience, humor, empathy and mindfulness, I will work with you in a nonjudgmental, caring and direct way so you can successfully achieve your goals. For over 25 years, I have worked with children and adults with a range of issues, including trauma, at-risk behavior, depression, anxiety, relationship and interpersonal conflict, as well as those struggling with intimacy and sex. I provide a safe space to develop a path toward personal and emotional growth and treat each person with dignity and respect. I also offer co-parenting and therapeutic supervised visitation.

Hi! I recently relocated to Ridgefield, CT after working for nearly 20 years with kids from kindergarten to college while living in Los Angeles. I became a therapist after working in college admissions and watching amazing students struggle with their mental health. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism takes so much energy to manage - for kids and the entire family. Imagine if all of that energy and effort was redirected towards school, hobbies, sports, friends, and family time!
