Gambling Therapists in Lindenhurst, NY

Do you wish you could get the voice in your head to just stop? The one telling you that you're stupid, lazy, weak, not good enough. It can be hard to make sense of these feelings or know how to deal with them. Unfortunately that leaves many of us turning to anger and vices (gambling, drinking, sex, drugs). This only leaves you feeling temporarily soothed but even worse about yourself in the long run. And you get trapped in what seems like a never ending cycle of self-hate and self-medicating. I promise this cycle can stop and I am here to help!

My name is Roy Berman, L.C.S.W., B.C.D. , C.A.S.A.C., C.S.A.T. I have been a psychotherapist over forty years and I was clinically trained at Columbia University School of Social Work. I also have over two thousand hours of training in the addictions. My areas of specialty are alcoholism, substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, compulsive over-eating, co-dependency and how these disorders affect the family. I am a psychodynamic and interactive psychotherapist. I actively get involved with my clients, constantly offering feedback and interpretation, not afraid to actively participate in the therapeutic process.

In my 25 years of practice I have worked with, and helped, hundreds of people from different social and economic backgrounds. The commonality I have found in working with all of these people is that they come into therapy with the strong desire to talk and connect with someone who is accepting and not judgmental of them. I provide this atmosphere with the people who come in to see me, as well as provide them with competent therapeutic guidance.

I am licensed and credentialed, with New York practice locations, and more than 15 years of professional work experience. I have worked with all racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identities in tackling a vast array of conditions. Some of those conditions were: addiction (e.g., Alcohol, Opiates, cocaine, gambling, etc.), and I have experience working with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, depression, and confidence. Also experienced in: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching, HIV/AIDS

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." ~Winston Churchill

Are you ready to start a new chapter of your life? It’s challenging to feel sad, anxious, indecisive, and unbalanced. Sometimes it’s just exhausting and lonely. Whether you want to find happiness again, feel confident, control your behaviors, and see your path, it’s possible! I like to think of life as a book. You have pages of experience that influence your life, but you can turn to a new page and live the life you want. I have helped people with their career paths, move towards abstinence from addictive behaviors, and break the cycle of feeling depressed and anxious for fulfillment and confidence.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful. I am able to do this because of my many years of supervision with some of the top therapists in the New York area. I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.

As a dual-trained cognitive neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, I take a holistic approach to treatment focusing on maximizing mental health and well-being for each individual, rather than focusing on “illness”. I specialize in lifespan treatment of anxiety, mood, and impulsive and compulsive disorders with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with a deep understanding of neuroscience I give patients a unique, comprehensive perspective.
