Substance Use Therapists in Kew Gardens, NY

Reaching out is often the toughest step and it is very important (and can be rewarding) to find the right fit! Each individual has their own unique story and experiences and therefore deserving of an individualized approach to therapy. The therapeutic relationship should foster one's personal journey to self exploration and growth. My goal is to help you find your best fit and support you in your personal growth, healing, and self-empowering journey. My approach is often described as supportive, warm, empowering, challenging (when you need it), and humorous.

Welcome to your mental health journey. For many, the idea of therapy can be filled with mystery. When someone thinks of therapy, they might imagine an old chaise lounge, conversations focused on childhood, or being told what to do. Sometimes, therapy can involve a chaise lounge and may also be about childhood but therapists rarely answer the question "What should I do?". As your therapist, I provide a safe space and help you develop the effective coping tools that you need to find your path and take action that matches your values to rediscover yourself.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! A phrase we often hear but seldom get to experience fully. And why? Because oftentimes people are going through life SURVIVING instead of truly LIVING. We make choices out of fear instead of love. When we are in SURVIVAL mode, we think only to stabilize ourselves in the moment. We may feel anxious, depressed, angry, or burnout. We may struggle with isolation, substance misuse, relationships, or risky behavior. In LIVING mode we are able to regulate our emotions appropriately, communicate effectively with others, maintain boundaries, practice self care, feel safe in our own body and THRIVE.

While change is difficult, it is never too late! My clients have ranged in age through 97. I see both individuals and families dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues. I am warm, encouraging, a strong motivator, and honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths.
