Narrative Therapists in Garden City, NY
From here, I work with a variety of techniques, including CBT, Narrative therapy, Positive Psychology and Motivational Interviewing.
My dedication to this field comes from my interest in working with people and being inspired by their ability to change and persevere when motivated and engaged to do so. I am particularly experienced in helping couples who are struggling with communication and/or family issues. I also treat adults and older adolescents with life stressors and challenges, including anxiety, depression, social discomfort, parenting, goal stagnation, and personality issues. My early work in addiction makes me qualified to help clients assess their relationship with substances and develop a plan with them, and their families, to address it.

Maybe recently your life hasn’t been going the way you envisioned. Maybe you are struggling with a new challenging situation in the face of a big change. Maybe a relatively small issue has become what your daily life is now centered on. Or, maybe you can’t put your finger on what is bothering you, but you haven’t been yourself lately. It can feel like “no one knows how this feels”, or “things could get worse”, but it can also feel like “I’ve already wasted so much time”. You are here and I want to be the first person to welcome you in taking the first step toward finding whatever it is you are looking for.

It has been said that "when it rains it pours" and at some point in everyone's lives they will believe wholeheartedly in that statement. For some, it may feel like they were born in the storm and have never found a way to get out of the rain. For others it may be a persistent drizzle, never a full downpour but never a break either. And for some, it may be the first time they've ever seen rain. No matter which is true, when the rain comes everyone hopes they will have a way to stay dry, be it a sturdy umbrella or a cozy shelter, but that is not always the case. Reaching out for help is another way to get out of the rain.

Therapy is a place where we learn to cope with our feelings. As humans, we find hope in healing. Healing welcomes an ongoing balance between strength and struggle. My integrative approach to creating a safe space encourages clients to explore, gather, design, untangle, and make-meaning of the beliefs and conditions that detail our existence.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
