Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Hauppauge, NY
My style is eclectic; I frequently use elements of client-centered therapy, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, trauma informed techniques, DBT, mindfulness, and other to fit your specific needs.
You are here. Here is not where you want to be, whatever ‘here’ means to you. The bridge from ‘here’ to ‘there’ is change. If you’re uncertain of how to navigate the road ahead, my goal is to meet you ‘here’, and find the best collaborative approach to get you to the ‘there’. You may be managing life changes, dealing with mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, or many others. You may be a part of a group I specialize in, such as the LBGTQ+ community, kink and polyamory communities, and other marginalized and intersecting identities, but all are welcome. All you need is an open mind and we can work towards that change.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
