Coaching Therapists in Long Island City, NY

Making the decision to start therapy is one the best gifts you can give yourself. That might sound a bit cliché, but giving yourself permission to focus on your own needs and discover more about yourself can be an incredible process. This is especially true if perhaps you’ve gotten used to putting the needs of others first, by being a caregiver to a parent or family member who may be struggling with a physical or mental illness or substance misuse. Learning to put the focus back on yourself and figuring out what gives you happiness and fulfillment is one the many ways that a good therapeutic relationship can enrich your life.

Hello, my name is Tasha Valentino. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of New York trained in working with individuals, couples, and families. Are you feeling stressed, discouraged, or lost? My specialization is working with those who want to work towards healing unwanted symptoms. Therapy provides incredible benefits, including emotional support, improved mental health, increased self-awareness, enhanced coping skills and personal growth and self-development.

Imagine being successful on the outside but feeling lost within. You’re driven and accomplished, yet disconnected from your true self. You crave more—clarity, purpose, a deeper understanding of who you are beyond the roles you play. My approach helps high performers like you rediscover themselves, aligning your achievements with what truly matters to you. Using my unique framework, we’ll explore the core values guiding your life, fostering authentic self-connection, and creating a meaningful, fulfilling path forward—one that honors your ambitions while nurturing your soul.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping they can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, guilt, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 30 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.

Wherever you are in life, we will create an intentional space to explore your struggles, feelings, aspirations, and the parts of yourself that long to be recognized and nurtured. As an immigrant, Third Culture Kid (TCK), and former international student, I believe our identities are intricate and multifaceted. To truly comprehend ourselves and lead a fulfilling life, we must consider the diverse contexts that shape us. My past careers as a journalist and teacher have shown me that while our narratives are unique, we all share a desire for self-understanding, insight into the human experience, and meaningful connections.

My ideal client represents someone willing to accept their situation and find the solution to their addictive behaviors and mental health problems.

I believe each time a child is born, a mother is also born. This change in sense of self and the emotions that come with it are often unpredictable. Coupled with constantly shifting hormones, sleep deprivation, physical discomfort and societal expectations, the postpartum period presents a major life transition mothers struggle through. Many find themselves feeling lost, isolated and alone during a time they anticipated feeling nothing but joy. I am here to support you as you work through your emotions, rediscover yourself through parenthood, find ways to cope with new challenges in life and become the mother you were meant to be.

Congratulations on taking this step in seeking help and support for yourself or your family. I work with children and adolescents, families, men, and women. My 20-plus years of clinical work with children and families is built on an attachment-oriented foundation and is informed by my personal experience as an adoptive parent and training in relevant play and family therapies. Regardless of a child’s emotional/behavioral presentation or attachment (RAD) history, I view parents as partners in their child’s therapeutic process and support and guide them, in parent sessions and/or in family sessions with their child.

I’m Jordan Chapman and I’m a relational psychotherapist, which basically means that I focus on building an honest and safe relationship with each of my clients. We’ll work to understand how any of the thoughts and feelings that come up between us can improve how you understand yourself and how you relate to other people. I also pay attention to past experiences because those usually inform some aspect of how you understand yourself, and/or any problem you might be experiencing now. I love therapy because it can make a real difference in how you live your life, which extends to how you feel, day-in and day out.
