Therapists for Teens in Hewlett, NY

I specialize in couples and marriage counseling as well as individual therapy for relationship issues (coping with break-ups, exploring unhealthy relationship patterns.) I will support and challenge you; providing a safe place to explore your feelings and make positive changes in your life. Depression, anxiety and relationship stress can leave you feeling hopeless. I can help you understand the underlying cause of these feelings and take back control over your life and your emotions. Take a look at my website naomibernstein.com

You want your life filled with passion, joy, and meaning in personal goals, career, and treasured relationships. You want to know that you matter and you are loved and accepted. You want to lift the weight of stress, frustration, hurt, and despair. For couples, you desire more excitement and a deeper connection. For parents, you want to know how to help your child through a struggle that you find overwhelming. You don’t have to feel powerless any more. You can take control of your life. Take the reins to steer your life on a new path to achieve your dreams, enhance your love life, & develop positive connections with others!

I appreciate your interest in my practice. Together we will set goals and work towards reaching them in a safe and comfortable environment. In addition to treating adults, working extensively with children, adolescents and families allows me to help you navigate any social, emotional, or behavioral issues that you are facing. My specialties include anxiety, depression, social concerns (including dealing with social media), academic matters, self-esteem issues, acting out behaviors and parent counseling. Although parenting can be difficult, learning strategies to deal with the day-to-day struggles will make your life easier.

If you can't do the things you want/dream of doing because of anxiety & panic, help is available. If you've been feeling terrible about yourself, sometimes believing everyone else can see how bad/defective/worthless you are, help is available. If you are "up in your head" all the time, struggling with getting anything done, worrying about everything, & watching yourself self-sabotage your life, help is available. If trauma, grief, relationship troubles have made you feel depressed & hopeless, help is available. I am passionate about helping people make positive changes in their lives through support, tools, knowledge, & caring.

Client’s usually seek therapy when they feel “stuck”, unable to move beyond the obstacles they are facing. I am passionate about helping people tackle life’s challenges, to help them feel more empowered and in control. Rooted in a cognitive behavioral style of therapy, I aim to help my clients identify and eventually combat harmful beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from achieving their goals and living the life they desire. I work with my clients to build a “toolkit” full of skills that they can take with them outside the therapy room.

I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker/ psychotherapist serving children, adolescents and adults. My years as a high school counselor have provided me with immense experience working with adolescents and their parents. All of us need guidance and support at one point or another. You are not alone, I am here to guide you through your journey. Utilizing a wide array of treatment modalities and techniques, I recognize that each person and their experiences are unique. Reach out and allow me to help you make the changes you need, to create the life you deserve.

Discover how good you or your child can feel without medication! Normalize behavior, enhance cognitive and/ or physical performance, stabilize mood and learn self-regulation.

We have developed a system, in which we incorporate various therapeutic approaches including psychotherapy, EMDR, clinical hypnosis, neurotherapy, and mindfulness meditation to accelerate the healing process.

A good fit and easy relationship between therapist and patient are crucial to success. I'm a licensed psychologist who works well with children, adolescents, adults struggling with emotional, behavioral, or relational issues. My work with couples and families deals with various life challenges. It takes true courage to recognize and confront the issues affecting daily functioning and satisfaction in life. If you suffer from anxiety, depression,low self-esteem, parenting issues, divorce, adoption, grief, and more, please contact me and I will help you find constructive strategies and solutions in order to live a happier life.

My therapeutic style is empathetic and solution-oriented: I help you identify specific goals and develop the tools you need to achieve them. To do this, I use Insight-oriented & Cognitive techniques to help you understand the emotional patterns that cause you to behave in ways that are harmful, identify the thoughts that are the result of these emotional patterns, and replacing these vicious cycles with more healthy behavioral patterns. These tools allow you to build the skills you need to feel increased calm, improved mood, and live a more fulfilling and happy live.

Life can be stressful and challenging at times. Sometimes we need the guidance, empathy and support of a skilled therapist to help us through difficult times.

We will work together to find and develop the practical skills that will enable you to overcome your challenges, break free of your fears, and pursue a life of meaning & satisfaction.

In 30+ years of experience, I've learned to tailor my treatment to the needs of clients. However, my preferred method of helping is through insight. Even people who feel they know themselves well often have blind spots that keep them trapped in unhappy ways of living. Over 2000 years ago, Socrates advised: "Know thyself." Human nature is essentially the same today as then; the advice holds up well. I will help you to know yourself in a way that helps to free you from current difficulties and lifelong patterns of thinking and feeling that have not served you well.

When you or someone you love is suffering, it can feel hopeless. Sadness, anxiety, and anger are our body’s signal that there is a problem that we need to deal with. Your problems may seem so overwhelming that you feel helpless. I believe in a better future for you, and can give you the tools and insight to help get you through this difficult time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Is your child experiencing emotional or behavioral problems?

I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in treating adolescents, adults, and seniors with a full range of psychological difficulties. I utilize evidence based treatments with compassion and flexibility in order to meet the needs of each individual I serve.

If you feel hopeless, I will hold hope for you. If you feel helpless, I will remind you of how strong you are even if you don't feel strong in the moment. We all struggle to let go of our past, maybe an imperfect childhood or a traumatic romantic relationship. We all want a second chance to create the life we were supposed to have. Change is painful. And you may have to walk away from something, or someone, who no longer serves you.

After spending a decade in the business industry, I made a meaningful career change to pursue my passion for psychology. I strive to help my clients create more meaning and satisfaction in their lives while working through some difficult emotions and challenging circumstances. Like the serenity prayer, I view the therapeutic setting as a place to explore acceptance verses change strategies. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as psychodynamic and relational modalities and I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client.
