If you are looking at this, you have made the important decision to actively seek help, which is the first step to dealing with whatever is causing you difficulty in your daily life. Now that you have made the first step, you need to choose a mental health professional who is right for you. I know this can be challenging, but I believe the most important thing in choosing a mental health professional is finding one whom you feel comfortable with and who you believe will be able to help you deal with, manage, and hopefully overcome whatever issue you are facing.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

Patchogue, NY 11772 (Online Only)
My name is Irene Dashiell, I’m a therapist and I have Cerebral Palsy. As a person with a disability I know firsthand what it feels like to be different and how it feels to be treated differently by other people. And that is why I work with kids, teens and young adults who have physical disabilities, ADD/ADHD, autism and anxiety. So I understand why on Monday mornings you push the snooze button five times and don’t want to get out of bed. As a parent or an adult you just feel exhausted, overwhelmed and don’t want to start another week. You just want to wave a magic wand and have a typical life, but that is not your life!

I am here to collaborate with my clients and explore how trauma, stress, and pain have rooted in their bodies. My clients report experiencing disconnection and dissociation from the emotional and physical experiences inside of them. As a consequence, they often only have connection to what is happening in their bodies and minds in moments of intense crisis, dysregulation, and severe need. In these moments, they feel ill-equipped, overwhelmed, and confused about how to navigating these consuming experiences. These clients typically share that they are consistently visiting this space of chaos with little to no control or autonomy.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
