Sexual Abuse Therapists in Huntington Station, NY

I have 42 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families for a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, relationship, job and school difficulties, loss, trauma and lifestyle changes. I have extensive psychodynamic training and my therapeutic orientation is a synthesis of this background with cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and relational approaches. My work emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual and the belief that therapy is a collaborative process. With empathy, compassion, yet objectivity, I strive to help people gain/regain a positive sense of self and lead more productive, gratifying lives in their relationships and in their work.

I have been a Christian psychotherapist for 43 wonderful years; working with individuals, couples and families. A special interest of mine is working with Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) and many kinds of co-dependents. My post-graduate training includes working with addicts and their families. My experience and style help to complement many 12-step programs. I am also committed to, and enjoy working with, those who have been emotionally, sexually or physically abused. Inner-child work is one of my specialities.

I am passionate about helping others gain self-awareness and learn skills to overcome life's challenges. My approach to therapy is led by the belief that meaningful and long-lasting change is best achieved within a safe and trusting healing space. I strive to create an inviting and nonjudgmental atmosphere where you can safely explore all aspects of yourself and your experiences. My role as a psychologist is to support you in better understanding your concerns, while empowering you to reach your personal goals and live a fulfilling life.

Each person carries a unique narrative shaped by their life experiences, and my approach to psychotherapy reflects this diversity. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and resilience, no matter how daunting the past. I work with individuals with a wide-variety of mental health issues including daily stress, adjustment, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also have experience in health psychology, where individuals present with co-morbid mood and physical health symptoms.

Taking the step to seek counseling is one to be proud of, and I am looking forward to navigating the uncertainty of this process together!

My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.
