Sexual Abuse Therapists in Kings Park, NY

At some point in life, everyone finds themselves “stuck.” You may be stuck due to a traumatic event, a painful life transition, loss of relationship, family difficulties or concerning thoughts and feelings. Feeling stuck after these occurrences can cause a number of reactions including depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, intrusive thoughts and memories, isolation, and physical symptoms. My goal is to meet you at your “stuck point” and help you through the process of healing. I do this by providing a safe, nonjudgmental partnership that enables you to create goals and make strides towards them.

I'm Scott Morgano, an LCSW with 20 years of experience working with adults, children, and adolescents with various needs and eight years of experience working with adolescents and adults who have been the perpetrators and/or victims of sexual abuse. I take an analytical and supportive approach to working with all of my clients to help them fulfill their treatment goals. The clients I typically work with are children ranging from 5-18 years old. I have had over twenty years of experience working with children of various ages, as well as children and adults on the autism spectrum.

I utilize a holistic trauma informed lens to work collaboratively with those seeking help to live fuller, more satisfying lives. In our work together I can help you recognize the impact of stress and trauma on the mind, body, and spirit using evidence-based approaches grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as yoga, mindfulness, and creative expression. Together we will explore emotions in a non-judgmental space, reframe unhelpful thoughts or beliefs that no longer serve your highest good, and come up with practical solutions that help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control of your own life.

In my private practice, I treat adults, teens and children in individual, couples and/or family psychotherapy. I am particularly experienced in treating depression, anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress disorder and substance/alcohol abuse, as well as issues related to sexual abuse, relationships, divorce, and school-related issues such as academic issues, separation anxiety and bullying.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, so kudos to you! I believe in a strengths-based, client-centered approach in my practice. I strive to provide my clients with a warm, comfortable, and supportive environment to undergo their mental wellness journey. I am a trauma informed therapist and am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. Trauma can come in many forms such as childhood emotional/physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing/experiencing relational violence, and surviving horrific incidents. It is worth mentioning I enjoy working with and empowering adult children of emotionally immature parents.
