Therapists in Garden City, NY
My style and beliefs are to create a safe environment within which individuals, couples, and families can explore their issues and challenges. I do this using brief solution focused therapy embedded in a narrative view. This means that I assist people in seeing their lives in more healthy ways as they overcome the challenges in their lives. This occurs in an atmosphere of empowerment and growth.

Many people seem to have lost their way; they have followed paths they believe they "should" take and find themselves asking why they are not as happy as they expected to be. At the heart of therapy is empathy, i.e. the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. My empathy for clients enables them to identify their feelings and needs, and accept and value them. This allows them to empathize with others and form meaningful relationships. While therapy requires work and commitment and can thus be challenging, it is well worth the investment of time and energy.

At United Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in working with couples, families, and individuals assisting them to succeed at their relationships and life in general. I provide services to high functioning clients from a place of positivity, strength, humor and solution focused energy.

Have you been contemplating seeing a therapist but are not sure it is for you or would be helpful? There are many reasons a person may seek therapy. People usually seek therapy because they are unhappy or dissatisfied with their life and want or need change. Mental health issues, addictions to chemicals or unhealthy lifestyles, family or relationship issues or a general discontent with your life and the choices that are not working anymore are some of the reasons to seek treatment. Therapy is also a perfect addition to a wellness or self improvement and/or self exploration practice.

Most often in life, we need someone to really listen to us. When you enter into therapy with me, I will be an alert witness to your pains, desires, dreams, and hopes. We will work together on how to best address your particular issues, and we will work together to come up with new possibilities for your life. My experience ranges from working with young adults to those going through transitions later on in life, including loss in its various forms.

I believe that a better version of you is possible. My goal is to meet you wherever you are in your journey, and provide the structure and safety of the therapeutic environment, to determine a plan that is specific to your circumstances, and help you put that plan into action to achieve your goals. Making the effort to start and commit to therapy can be difficult to do - if you don't see progress, you can feel discouraged or even worse, hopeless. But there is hope and you do not have to do it alone.
