I'm a therapist, a licensed psychologist, accepting new patients in my new Huntington, Long Island, New York office. this is my 33rd year in practice, and I love the work as much as ever. Psychotherapy can serve many purposes. It is perhaps the only venue where we can speak about pretty much anything... not just deep dark problems, "issues", unpleasant events, mental disorders or illnesses, but potentials, dreams, a life in which you have more choices available to you, and more ways of pursuing them alone and in relationship with others. Psychotherapy done well is a powerful sort of education, the kind we don't receive in scho

Perhaps, you are experiencing some difficulties in your life or are struggling with mental illness. Regardless of the severity of your problems, I am confident that I can help. Often clients are reluctant to contact a psychologist because they are afraid of what to expect. Meeting with me is in many ways like talking to a knowledgeable, good friend. You will quickly see that I love being a clinical psychologist and I love working with clients. I limit the number of clients I see each week so that each person receives the optimal level of personalized care.

Sometimes we just need someone to help us through the hard times. You may be struggling with an issue that's been on your mind or impacting your life for a while. Perhaps you've experienced loss, or a key relationship has changed. Maybe you're anxious about going back to work in person, or about children returning to school. Or feeling sad but can't figure out exactly why. If you've tried endlessly to remove the obstacles that keep you stuck, attempted but failed to learn new ways of dealing with relationships, or have problems that seem too difficult to change on your own, then perhaps together we can find a better way.

My ideal client is someone who is stressed, burned out, or just dealing with everyday life challenges. They may feel stuck or unsure of what their next move should be. My clients need someone to listen to them—to be heard in a “safe space” where they can freely express themselves. They understand that everyone struggles and that it’s okay to ask for help. Their goals are to learn better ways to cope and deal with their issues. They want to live their best life without fear and anxiety but with courage and resilience.

Obesity Therapists
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
