Female Therapists in Staten Island, NY

I am a dedicated, licensed clinical social worker with over 28 years of experience. My objective is to help you create solutions to your challenges.

Do you have a sense that you are capable of more, that some things are just outside of reach and you don't know why, or that you are in discomfort for reasons obscure to you? Are you confronted with difficult situations that feel impossible to deal with or that cause you conflict, anguish or confusion? Psychotherapy can help to identify the inconsistencies, resistances, behaviors, styles of living, stresses and other factors that impede optimal functioning, effectiveness and experience.

Hi. I am a clinical social worker with extensive experience in mental health. I am a compassionate person who actively engages with my clients. If you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or sadness, I draw from a variety of interventions- psychodynamic and cognitive to get you to a better place and stay there! The therapeutic relationship is an essential part of therapy and I am skilled in making a genuine connection with my clients.

Dedication, education and experience are the qualities that will contribute to an active exploration of your unconscious and conscious mind in a safe and secure analytical framework. This therapeutic process is thrilling as one hears, listens and gains conscious knowledge of the wisdom of the unconscious. Psychoanalytical psychotherapy requires commitment, time, and an over riding desire for wellness. It does not promise a false, temporary relief, a quick fix, and/or health gained by following a therapist's directives under the false premise that others have the answers. The unconscious owns the answers and wellness.

Are you looking to explore what’s causing you stress or discomfort? Whether in your relationships, career, a life transition, or anything else, maybe you’ve never quite had the right tools to begin. Allow me to facilitate your journey with skill and compassion so that you can move closer to your full potential.

Are you struggling for ways to best support your child’s behavioral and emotional needs? I work with clients of varying ages, specializing in children and adolescents. I have several years of experience working with neurodiverse populations, particularly those on the Autism Spectrum. I can offer support with managing behavioral concerns and navigating the ups and downs of childhood development. I aim to provide the tools to improve well-being and the quality of everyday life.

If you, or someone you love, are struggling with past trauma, health issues, substance use, domestic violence, family conflict, stress, or Anxiety and Depression, it can be overwhelming to manage on your own without support. Trust, respect, and empathy are foundational in therapy. I strive to create an accepting and supportive environment to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and validated.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and the stresses of life? You came to the right place!

My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I have experience working with children, parents, teenagers and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, autism and ADHD for over 20 years. More recently helping clients by using EMDR.

I have an interpersonal style, and believe in treating the whole family unit. It is most important to create an atmosphere of trust and comfort, along with the clear boundaries of practice. However, the most important aspect of treatment is all parties working together to achieve the goal. No therapist, without cooperation of all parties, will be able to achieve goals.

Hi! Welcome to your first step on your self-awareness journey! I have worked in multiple clinical settings, including but not limited to ACS, homeless shelters, foster care, preventive services, teen pregnancy, outpatient therapy, the LGTBQI community, and juvenile justice. My professional experience has provided me with skills and knowledge of the effects that trauma, family, government systems, bullying, and poverty can have on an individual's day-to-day functioning. I am a firm believer in getting to the root of the problem with an emphasis on a collaborative approach to achieve and maintain long-term goals.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, poor self confidence or stress resulting from relationships with family, friends or co-workers, don't go it alone and make an appointment today.

The word Sankofa means "one must go back in order to move forward". The idea is that in order to move forward into our highest potential, we must use the best of what was in our past. As a relational therapist who primarily works from a Solution-Focused approach, the word Sankofa reflects my belief that learning from our experiences in the past can contribute to healing in the present and future. I believe we are all capable of change through an effective solution. I have experience bringing about the changes that will lead to a healthier and happier life.

My name is Christine Janik. I have extensive experience with mental health and substance abuse issues. I don’t judge, and I start where the client is. My main focus is the client who suffers from anxiety, depression, and/or substance abuse. I enjoy working with all mental health issues. The best way to describe my style is easygoing, laid back, and with a great sense of humor. It is your hour to let it fly. I chose this career after a close family member introduced to me what he was doing as a therapist. We work together to find the best goals that will be most likely successful.

We all have the capacity to make positive changes in our lives, and it is during the time of crisis when the most change can occur. Everyday stressors, relationship conflicts, work and school challenges, loss of a loved one; these events can overwhelm and challenge us in many ways. Adjusting to new experiences is difficult. Depression, anxiety, self doubt and resentment can set in. Therapy helps develop and strenghten our ability to cope, to manage these feelings. It helps us uncover negative patterns and behaviors, but most important it helps bolster our existing strengths and potential for change.
