Therapists in Huntington, NY

My experience in working with individuals , couples and families has been mutually gratifying. Although changes have occurred in the mental health field,including more targeted medications and claims for instant relief, I believe people desire a more qualitative overall improvement in themselves and in their relationships.

I am a Psychologist in private practice working with individuals and couples, adolescents and adults. I have worked in many different clinical settings since 1968 and, for 38 years of private practice, have worked with a range of difficulties involving anxiety, depression, addictions, abuse, obsessions, parenting, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders and psychosis. One specialty has been using psychological testing to get a more accurate and detailed diagnostic picture of the issues, as just having a diagnosis is not enough and can result in misunderstanding and poor treatment.

Are you struggling with the painful remnants of a recent break up, seeking to put an end to unhealthy relationship patterns and/or facing difficult childhood experiences holding you back from moving forward? Perhaps you're worried about seeking therapy due to cultural stigma or finding yourself at odds with cultural expectations placed on you by society? Born in India, raised in New York, I recognize the unique pressures and conflicts faced by individuals caught between two seemingly opposing cultural identities. I utilize a multicultural lens that provides a safe space to explore these internal and external sources of tension.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in building better behaviors & working to make progress on healthy routines that help my clients better deal with life's stressors. Through my work, I have noticed a recurring theme of unorganized & scattered thinking & a fear of growth and change. I have also noticed that we all have internal strengths that we have not found & unlocked due to fear and self-doubt. My life & treatment philosophy overlap as my work is rooted in the understanding & belief that growth & development are ongoing processes that are guided by consistency in routines.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 35+ years and I can humbly share two truths about myself and therapy: I’m still learning and growing as a person and professional and in order for one to affect change you need human connection. I believe therapy is a partnership, a sacred relationship between two people; it’s a trusting bond like no other where authentic contact is made, masks are slowly removed and the client is seen for their pure and beautiful essence. My clients learn to accept themselves for who they were born to be, unlearning damning messages, peeling away the expectation of others and discovering their own true nature

There is nothing more powerful than the resilience of the human spirit and I think we sometimes lose sight of that, during different periods of our lives.

Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
