Female Therapists in Glen Oaks, NY
I specialize in treating relational trauma and anxiety over life transitions. Relationships often cause hurt, but can also heal and help us grow. We learn to understand who we are and the world around us through relationships, this is how we become human and unique. But we might not be aware that often we are repeating patterns of relating that make us unhappy or why we do it. Therapy gives a new way of thinking and asking questions about yourself and others. Therapy liberates energy that was trapped in painful symptoms for you to build new opportunities and new connections.

Are you longing to connect with something bigger than your pain and fears? Would you like to try a different approach? Spiritual Exploration (SE) is a gentle, caring, supportive, process that honors your unique spiritual beliefs. It is not about proselytizing but exploring what spirituality means to you. SE can help you cultivate a more profound sense of peace, experience greater joy, find meaning and purpose, explore careers, and heal from life’s inevitable traumas and setbacks. While very similar, Spiritual Exploration is not psychotherapy. Please get in touch with me to learn about this transformational modality for free.

I help adolescents and adults improve the relationship they have with themselves, which in turn improves the relationships they have with others. I help clients get comfortable with digging deep to explore the sources of distress that interfere within such relationships. I help clients understand "why" they are experiencing "negative" emotions, process feelings that have been suppressed, stop avoiding fears, and resolve behaviors that are causing them shame or guilt. Overtime, clients build their self-esteem, self-awareness, and ability to express themselves; reducing both internal and external conflict.

When a crisis occurs in our lives, sometimes we look the other way and hope it gets better. Or, when the past comes back to haunt us, maybe we’re better off ignoring what’s happened and leave it where it is. But oftentimes, that’s not so easy. Problems that have an effect on our mental health, don’t go away magically. Sometimes it’s easier to turn to a professional who will help you sort through these issues and show you a clear, healthier path to walk through. Focusing on goals and becoming more self aware is what a good therapist can assist you with. I (temporarily) have been granted a license to practice in NJ via teletherapy.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
