Magellan Therapists in Smithtown, NY

At some point in our lives, we all run into problems that seem too big or too persistent to handle alone. With more than 10 years of experience in private practice I've helped individuals, couples and families successfully overcome life's challenges and return to a happier and peaceful lifestyle. I'll help you overcome life's difficulties by teaching you the tools you need to achieve positive growth and change.

I utilize a variety of approaches to address and resolve isues. An approach must fit the individual as well as the problem. I work with adolescents, adults and families. I am certified in Cognitive/Behavioral therapy, short term therapy, as well as numerous other modalities. I work with many diagnoses including OCD, Bipolar Disorder, depression, loss/grief, ADD, ADHD and panic disorders. Occasionally there may not be a formal diagnosis-the problem may be one of learning how to more effectively communicate. Various techniques are addressed to help people strengthen relationships through words.

If you are struggling in certain areas of your life and need help navigating them, I can help you work through your challenges by learning how to adjust your behaviors and thought patterns. I am an empathic and non-judgmental social worker with over 20 years in the counseling field. I listen to your concerns and provide guidance and support. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and secure as we create an environment that fosters positive growth and change.

Perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make is the decision to see a therapist. I understand how personal this is for you. The connection you make with the therapist that you choose is equally as important as taking that first step. That is why I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

As an energetic, positive and compassionate healer, I will work with you to understand the origins of your coping strategies and to rid yourself of behaviors that no longer serve you. I am dedicated to teaching self love and compassion, which positively impacts every area of life. Allow me to guide you on your journey of healing with a strengths based approach to improve your health and vitality as well as reach your highest potential!

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - C.G. Jung. The process of self-reflection can both be illuminating and freeing. By shining the light of awareness on that which is unknown, you are on the path to personal growth and unlocking your innate potential. Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Do you desire balance within your own being? Or as if you are merely existing rather than living the life you truly wish? Taking the first step and reaching out for help is truly an exercise in courage.

The decision to see a therapist is a personal one and perhaps the most important factor in that decision is the connection you make with the therapist that you choose. I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life. I specialize in treating those who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and personality disorders. Together we will discover the underlying issues that cause these conditions while building coping skills and strategies

I believe that therapy is most effective when an individual recognizes the need for some kind of change in their lives. It is then the role of the therapist to join with them on their journey for personal growth. Whether the issues are due to personal relationships, mental illness, alcohol or chemical addictions, trauma, or of another nature, I will be able to assist you in setting goals, changing your thinking, and helping you to make your life better, one step at a time.

I have been working in the social work field since 1984. About 25 years ago, I started my full time private practice, and can still say that I love what I do. 30 years working with people provides me with a wealth of knowledge. A client only needs to bring themselves and have a willingness to commit to the therapeutic process. I have also enjoyed teaching as an adjunct instructor at The Adelphi University School of Social Work, where I teach graduate level classes in Individual Treatment, Group Treatment and Family/Marital Treatment.
