Gottman Method Therapists in Levittown, NY

Hi - Margaret Doherty here! Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or depression? Do you struggle with social experiences or difficulty adjusting to new situations? If yes, then come talk to me. We can work on this together. I am a licensed mental health counselor who provides treatment to children, adolescents, and adults'. Together we will use cognitive behavioral therapy to address maladaptive thought patterns, and change unwanted behaviors. We will also work on techniques and coping skills that address the root of what is causing significant stress, and develop a healthy support system.

Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or just have the feeling there should be more to life, I can help you explore possibilities for change. My goal is to provide my clients with the knowledge and understanding of how relationships work and how problems can be resolved in the most challenging situations. I believe every person grows from the positive and negative relationships they've been in or are currently in. It is my mission to help clients establish resources and build upon strengths to enhance happiness in every relationship.

We help relationships thrive by healing the hurt that is in the way, so you can enjoy closeness, love, and joyful moments with your family and friends. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD, can cause instability, outbursts, misunderstandings, confusion, mistrust, anxiety, panic attacks, fears, intimacy issues, and intrusive thoughts. Hurt, Trauma, and PTSD are successive, treatable, and preventable stages. If trauma has been holding you back from your dreams, we can help you achieve them. If trauma has caused issues in any relationships, we can help you mend them. We can also help you improve the relationship with yourself and your inner world :)

Do you feel challenged or stuck? Are you overwhelmed with life stresses? Do you yearn for a better relationship with your partner or family? You have probably tried working out these problems yourself, but let me help you and your loved ones meet life's challenges and create meaningful relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that trust, understanding and acceptance help create a safe and secure therapy environment. Together we will work to build on your strengths and create attainable therapeutic goals.

Some people come to therapy to process trauma. Some people have stressful jobs, difficulties in school, or other life challenges and want to unlock coping skills.

I can provide you with an objective professional perspective and I will listen, empower, and support you on your journey.
