Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Fresh Meadows, NY

As a Licensed Social Worker, I have a passion for working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing eating disorders, suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I approach therapy using an anti-oppressive, trauma informed, and strengths-based lens. I believe therapy should be collaborative and I strive to support clients in reaching their life worth living goals and find their path to healing.

In my perspective, therapy offers a meaningful opportunity for self-discovery and healing. As a therapist, my focus is on creating a supportive space where you can address life's challenges. I believe in forming a close partnership with you, valuing your uniqueness, and tailoring therapy to fit your individual journey. With extensive experience in assisting young adults and women, I specialize in addressing issues such as trauma, anxiety, and depression, employing therapeutic methods like IFS, psychodynamic therapy, and CBT.

I work best with those struggling w/challenging issues like borderline personality disorder, depression/bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia/psychotic disorders. I also work well w/everyday issues like Panic and Anxiety. I'm active and involved. I'm not one of those therapists who just sits there. I love working in Queens because it is the most ethnically diverse county in the nation. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, all religions, nationalities, and cultures. I welcome working with Orthodox Jews and other religiously committed individuals.

My main goal for my clients is to assist them in navigating their difficult emotions and helping them process their feelings. I offer an empathetic atmosphere and safe place to share feelings and traumas experienced. Each person has a story to tell and sometimes he/she is not validated by those closest to them, and this can further the trauma of the individual. Together, we explore and process traumas from the person's life to help him/her live a more fulfilling life. Progress and moments of joy are also celebrated in which empowers the client to become his/her best self.

You're dissatisfied with yourself and your life. You may be coping with a recent trauma or something from your past. Perhaps you're frustrated with your lack of career advancement or difficulties finding a meaningful relationship. It seems like you're behind the curve and maybe you'll never catch up with your peers. Yet, there is hope. You can achieve real change by solidifying your innate strengths and exploring the roots of whatever is causing you pain. In therapy, we will have a safe space to look at what's on your mind. There may be challenges as we rebuild your patterns to align better with your goals.

Finding someone who "gets you" is frustrating and emotionally draining. Perhaps you don't know what you want, but you're looking for someone to listen and hear your story. Your thoughts and feelings are unique and precious. Being able to understand why you feel the way you do about things is worth exploring. If you're feeling "stuck", burdened or in a frustrating relationship, I would like to help you connect with yourself through self awareness and exploring those feelings together. Once you talk about those difficult things, it will allow you to connect with your own emotions and heal what feels broken. Hope is what you need.
