Magellan Therapists in Commack, NY

Welcome to the practice of a highly experienced therapist who brings warmth and empathy to helping people address their conflicts. A former Social Work Associate Professor at Fordham University, I bring an array of tools to address anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, marital stress and other concerns. A 25 year practitioner of (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, we can address a wide range of issues from Posttraumatic Stress to phobias, social anxiety and performance enhancement. Cognitive-Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches are blended into a style that most people will enjoy and have confidence in.

In my work with individuals, couples and families, my goal is to help you to achieve your highest potential. I enjoy working with people who are introspective, who are willing and interested in looking into themselves, and to exploring ways to understand themselves and to improve their lives. I see myself as a guide and as a mentor. Please come here for yourself and because you truly want to be here.

I am a committed and compassionate therapist with a specialty in Eating Disorders although my practice is not limited to this issue. I also work with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency and various other issues. I enjoy helping people empower themselves by discovering their strengths and exploring issues that have hindered them in the past. My clientele ranges from people 16-70+ years old. My office is a warm and inviting environment; clients have stated they feel "safe and welcome" here. I love the work I do and I welcome the opportunity to help people live a happy and fulfilled life.

I utilize a variety of approaches to address and resolve isues. An approach must fit the individual as well as the problem. I work with adolescents, adults and families. I am certified in Cognitive/Behavioral therapy, short term therapy, as well as numerous other modalities. I work with many diagnoses including OCD, Bipolar Disorder, depression, loss/grief, ADD, ADHD and panic disorders. Occasionally there may not be a formal diagnosis-the problem may be one of learning how to more effectively communicate. Various techniques are addressed to help people strengthen relationships through words.

I have been working in the social work field since 1984. About 25 years ago, I started my full time private practice, and can still say that I love what I do. 30 years working with people provides me with a wealth of knowledge. A client only needs to bring themselves and have a willingness to commit to the therapeutic process. I have also enjoyed teaching as an adjunct instructor at The Adelphi University School of Social Work, where I teach graduate level classes in Individual Treatment, Group Treatment and Family/Marital Treatment.
