Gambling Therapists in Commack, NY

My name is Roy Berman, L.C.S.W., B.C.D. , C.A.S.A.C., C.S.A.T. I have been a psychotherapist over forty years and I was clinically trained at Columbia University School of Social Work. I also have over two thousand hours of training in the addictions. My areas of specialty are alcoholism, substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, compulsive over-eating, co-dependency and how these disorders affect the family. I am a psychodynamic and interactive psychotherapist. I actively get involved with my clients, constantly offering feedback and interpretation, not afraid to actively participate in the therapeutic process.

Life is full of stressors, whether unexpected or planned. It is my goal to provide a safe, warm, supportive and judgement-free space for you to feel heard and understood. We will work collaboratively to build the necessary skills to help you face and overcome these daily stressors or mental health issues that may impact your overall functioning.

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” Nelson Mandela. I truly believe that anytime one asks for help, it takes strength and courage. Reality of daily stressors or change can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I believe that we all have the power within ourselves to overcome any obstacle. Reality can break you down, make you feel hopeless, helpless. I am here to show you the self-awareness, strength and confidence that we all need sometimes to conquer our fears and see hope for a brighter tomorrow.

My approach is person centered and psychodynamic. I use evidence-based therapeutic practices with a foundation in existential therapy. Together, we can uncover the "why," so you may live with any "how."

Hello and Welcome- At True to Self Counseling we believe a supportive therapeutic relationship can have a significant impact for anyone. It can help provide insight, strength, solutions, and new coping strategies for all types of challenges in life. Our experience has shown us that when people are provided with a comfortable environment, they become willing to explore and express themselves more freely and honestly. Our hope is that we successfully guide people towards a greater self-awareness. We believe it is empowering when people can utilize their own unique abilities to overcome the concerns that led them into therapy

You can develop and improve skills you need to live a more exciting and satisfying life; improve your relationships with significant others; and have a more rewarding career. Negative mood states get in the way of your best efforts, leaving you with low energy or little interest in things that were once important. You may be afraid or feel tired; as if things are turning out wrong; as if there is nothing you can do to make them right again. You can change! You can remember when things went well! You can be happy and experience good feelings again!

I sincerely believe that people can change. Sometimes we just need help navigating that process. If you are experiencing distress, despair, or maybe just feel lost, I will help you find a solution. My approach involves helping people get unstuck from the destructive traps that we find ourselves in. I can help you tap into your internal strength, tenacity, and motivation. This will empower you to not only achieve your goals, but sustain them long-term. I do this through effective therapy techniques backed by scientific research, coupled with compassion, support, and encouragement. In our sessions, we can heal your suffering together.

I approach therapy as a form of collaboration that can spark change. Whether you are looking to discover the best version of yourself or overcome a challenging experience, we can tailor our time to best meet your needs. Painful thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns can interfere with being able to experience contentment in life. These difficulties can prevent us from attaining our personal or professional goals and often start to damage our relationships with the ones we love. By understanding and becoming aware of your underlying beliefs and emotions, we can explore how to best move towards acceptance and change in your life.

Welcome patients with Medicare Insurance I have morning appointments that are now open for you. Call 631-697-3232. Sometimes people need to talk to someone who can understand how they feel and give advice that can heal. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders and Depression. I had panic attacks, in my younger days and found ways to get over them. That led me after retirement as a teacher to go back to college to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Being older, I believe helps me understand the issues that may come with aging. Young or old, everyone needs to talk to someone at some point.

Welcome! I understand that taking the step to attend therapy can be overwhelming. I offer an empathetic, safe, and welcoming environment that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, where you can discuss your vulnerabilities and work towards self-empowerment. We heal when we allow someone to witness our pain, so I consider it a privilege when someone decides to work with me. I welcome open dialogue and discussion in our sessions. The human experience can be complex, so I take a down-to-earth and open approach while working alongside my clients. Together, we will find solutions to any obstacles you may be experiencing.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.
