Therapists in Massapequa, NY

Life can be a challenging journey, but you don't have to go through it alone! Having an outlet or someone outside your situation to work things through can help. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, relationships, depression, or self-esteem, to name a few! Additionally, I am a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional. I help individuals and couples overcome barriers to intimacy (sexual & love addiction, avoidant behavior, betrayal trauma, pornography, infidelity, low-sex relationships, body image issues, sexual dysfunction, & more), helping clients lead to fulfilling & exciting relationships, physically and emotionally.

I am dedicated to helping people work through life's unique challenges. I am here to assist you in reaching new solutions and working toward your goals. I can support individuals in coping with depression, anxiety, sexual identity or orientation, life skills for young adults, and sexual dysfunction. Couples or those in relationships may be seeking therapy for communication and relationship skills, sexual enrichment, mismatched desire, premarital counseling, or erectile and orgasm difficulties. I am an LGBT-Affirmative, Kink-Aware, and Poly-Inclusive therapist. I was Voted the number 1 Sex Therapist on Long Island for 2015 and 2017.

Put simply, I'd like to help you and/or your family member(s), feel less worried, less sad, and, in general, less distressed. With over 40 years of experience, I feel that I've been able to provide that to many hundreds of people with whom I've worked. Whether it's your child or teen who is suffering (I work with all manner of child and adolescent issues, including ADHD, academic underachievement, oppositional defiance, anxiety, depression and limitations in social skills) or whether it's you, your relationship or your family that is troubled, I have the experience to help resolve issues.

I am a seasoned therapist who has worked successfully with individuals, groups, and couples. In addition to helping people with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem and empowerment, I have recently been specializing in relationship and sex therapy. I use various modalities and work to develop a relationship with my clients to help them make changes they desire in their lives.

You are here because you are done feeling stuck and you want change. Sexual Dysfunctions, Anxiety & ADHD can be really overwhelming and debilitating. Feeling shame, guilt or embarrassment is exhausting and can make you feel alone. Anxiety can make it feel like you can hardly breath and keep your head above water at times. We all deserve to feel in control and confident within ourselves. Wouldn't it be great to feel empowered with who you are, feel confident & secure again with no restrictions? Become the version of yourself that you have been longing for.

Sometimes life may seem overwhelming. The children, the house, the job, the marriage, and life itself can become a struggle. When this happens seeking out an environment in which you can work through your feelings can enable you to create positive change in your life or simply make sense of the life around you. The approach I take in our therapeutic relationship is to assist you with identifying those core issues that are keeping you from being the person you want to be. While building upon your strengths, together we will identify and understand triggers that contribute to your overall unhappiness.

As a therapist who believes there is not just "one way" to do treatment, I use an integrative approach to helping my patients. I am a practitioner with a unique perspective having a background ranging from business to mental health. Counseling and psychotherapy are 'teamwork' approaches to problem solving that should be as unique as the person seeking help.

Hi! I'm Dr. Steinberg. Are you struggling with your relationship(s)? Desire couples counseling or sex therapy? Do you need help recovering after infidelity?
