Therapists in Staten Island, NY

Looking for some relief from daily stress? Feeling anxious or depressed? Let me help you take control of your relationships and your life. I believe that choosing to begin therapy shows incredible strength and a desire to invest in yourself. As a therapist I enjoy helping people increase their level of self - awareness and helping people change their way of thinking, feeling and reducing their destructive behaviors. Lets work together and find ways to make life more enjoyable.

Through an individualized therapeutic approach, I explore the unconscious motivations that prevent clients from reaching their goals.

Over the past 37 years I have had much success in helping adults, teens and children deal with a wide range of emotional, psychological and behavioral problems. These include depression, anxiety, anger, and sexual difficulties. I have been especially helpful in treating people experiencing relationship problems, as well as helping people break through the barriers that hold them back in life. I believe with time, patience, perseverance and motivation psychotherapy can be an effective treatment for symptom reduction and personal growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, from an integrative framework, in which my clients and I design treatment to meet their individual needs, rather than having a one size fits all approach to therapy. I view psychotherapy as being a collaborative process, in which clients and I develop new approaches to improving their lives. I am an experienced clinical psychologist, who is supportive in my work with children, adolescents, and adults. Over the years, I have grown to appreciate the complexity of people's lives. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral, and evidence-based methods of treatment.

I have a long track of success treating people of all ages, in the individual, couples, family, and groups modalities. Special experience working with PTSD, LGBTQ issues and trauma. I also have provided treatment for people in the Autism spectrum. I can provide services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. I have a robust system to provide you with the state of the art Telehealth services.

Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. You may have difficulty making decisions or suffer from fears. Sadness, eating, sleeping or related physical ailments can keep you from being your best. For children, behavior is their indicator. Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned. Or maybe it’s a change in your life, even one that is supposed to be happy, and you’re not. You don’t like the path your life is taking. You don’t have to live that way. There is treatment. And it works.

Are you depressed, anxious, panicky or highly stressed in your present life and relationships? Does it feel like life is slipping away and you keep playing catch up with all the problems that surround you on a daily basis? Are you struggling with taking control over your life, finding peace and forming healthier, stronger relationships? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here.

Healing doesn’t happen when we have all the answers; but, when we begin to ask ourselves those questions we have been avoiding. With the help of an unbiased, and judgement free therapist, you can explore those difficult questions in a safe place. The therapeutic process can heal each individual, from past severities to our current presenting problems. Rather than, “how do I fix the problem for the client? It’s “how can I provide a therapeutic relationship this client can use for their own personal growth?
