Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Hewlett, NY

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.

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.

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?

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step towards helping yourself, or someone that you love! If you are feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or like you just need someone to talk to please reach out! I am a clinical social worker with close to 2 decades of experience working with teens, young adults, adults & their families. Social work is something I am passionate about, I worked in school settings for many years and through that experience gained a deep understanding of teenagers and young adults. My goal is to help young women during different transition periods in their lives- change happens, sometimes we need support!

I firmly believe that emotional wellness is critical to the quality of life. My work focuses on treating symptoms related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, decision-making, family and social relationships, loss, and chronic pain. Building a warm therapeutic alliance between a client and therapist is the deciding factor for how successful therapy will be. The therapeutic relationship is not only central to the outcome; it is the only significant factor and one that cannot be impacted by formal training. If I, as your therapist, can tolerate your intense unmanageable feelings, you will eventually learn to do the same.

Do you feel stuck in patterns of panic, fear, and hopelessness and wonder what you could possibly do to change things? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, or challenges within relationships, you have the ability to heal and break free from old patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The stresses of life, work, relationships can to stack up in troubling ways. It can seem like everything is happening all at once. With everything you are juggling, you've probably been avoiding some hard truths and neglecting your needs. This can work for a while; but not forever. I will help you build a deeper understanding of yourself, your life, your relationship and how you can begin to shift away from unhelpful patterns. Using an active, hands on approach you will begin to envision and reach for change.

In my practice, I focus on setting clear goals and tailoring treatment to meet those goals. I meet my clients where they are. If my client(s) wants to work on problems with daily struggles, difficulties reaching their full potential, or improving their marriage, I will help them achieve that. If they want to deal with symptoms of a mood or anxiety disorder, than I will leverage my extensive training with these conditions to help achieve symptom reduction. Throughout the treatment process, I can call upon various methods of psychotherapy, but I always maintain a clear vision to guide our work.

Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships
