I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has engaged in agency and private practice for more than 40 years. I have assisted individuals and families with issues involving self-esteem, relationships, emotional regulation, bereavement, parenting, adoption, life transitions and psychiatric and physical illness. I have also been a clinical instructor and supervisor to students and professionals engaged in the various behavioral health care disciplines. Everyone has a story to tell and my role as a clinician is to help individuals with this sharing.

I have 15 years of experience working in the community with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, ADHD, OCD, and other disorders as well. I’ve worked with adults, adolescents, and children in varied settings. In inpatient hospital settings, and partial hospital settings as well as at my private practice. I use varied therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the specific needs of my client. I utilize empathy and compassion to tailor my therapeutic interventions to the needs of you or your child. I can assist with family issues, behavioral issues, marital issues and psychiatric issues.

Choosing a therapist and getting started itself can be overwhelming. I believe that treatment must be specific to the person and the problem and be based on a broad array of available clinical modalities and interventions. These interventions are always provided with safe, supportive and professional care. I have over twenty years experience as a psychologist and as a supervisor and trainer of therapists from all of the mental health fields. I head a group private practice with many available resources for adults and children. I am a leader in the field of abuse and trauma as well as sexuality and relationships.

My practice is geared toward mental health and behavioral changes. I am known for my kind, empathetic, laid back, and real approach with my clients and do my best to meet my clients where they are. I want to help my clients find their inner strength and to identify, work towards and reach their goals.

We are offering in person and online sessions. After having the courage to finally call a therapy practice are you tired of either not getting a response or put on a never ending waitlist? We dislike that very much too! You are in the right place if you are looking for some immediate help. Please text the clinic director, Maria, on her cellular at 917-403-3267. She will be in touch.

Toni has experience working with all types of people navigating a variety of issues but specializes in treating individuals who experience anxiety, depression, stress, anger, low self-esteem and parenting stress as well as those going through a major life change. She helps clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings and experiences in order to promote healing and acceptance. Clients will learn more about the specific issues that brought them into therapy and will leave with a plan of how to manage their feelings, improve their sense of self and feel confident in overcoming future obstacles by developing simple coping skills.

Many people enter therapy concerned that they will have to make dramatic changes in their lives to find relief. I believe that therapy is not dramatically changing who we are, but rather looking at how our perceptions of ourselves and others create unfulfilling experiences. I think my role as a therapist is to work with each individual to identify their strengths and enhance what is already working for them while examining the patterns that keep them from living life to its fullest.

The people I work with have all types of issues they need help with. In particular, I have seen a lot of success helping people overcome past traumatic experiences as well as overwhelming present-day fears and worries. I also enjoy working with people who struggle with addictive behaviors and problems with mood. I use a nonjudgmental yet motivational approach to help people be the best versions of themselves they can be.
