Intellectual Disability Therapists in West Babylon, NY

I have over 20 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families. In my practice, I provide individual therapy, evaluations for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and other mental health and learning disorders, as well as consultation for school-related issues for parents, and consultation to complete guardianship paperwork for families for the courts. After obtaining my doctorate in psychology, I received training in conducting neuropsychological evaluations. I am the author of the book, Raising Happy Children...How to Survive the Greatest Adventure of Your Life, which can be found on Amazon.

Beginning therapy, especially for the first time, can feel like an intimidating task. I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support and there is no shame in that, only strength. No matter what the presenting issue(s) is, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what brought you here, what you need out of therapy and what your ultimate goal is. I view the mind and body as one and in order to best care for ourselves, we need to nurture and understand both. Often times, our environment or situations happening in our life can derail this and that's where therapy can provide a consistency.

Everyone has the ability to lead a positive, healthy and productive life! However, we all can become sidetracked by the stressors we encounter each and every day. These stressors can lead us away from fulfilling our goals and following our dreams, sending us off course. Together we can begin to refocus and work toward moving down a path of achieving your own personal potential!

I have been in the field since 2002 working with many people.

As a therapist, with over 7 years of experience in social work, the rapport I build with my clients instills a comfortability and confidence that my approach and systems work.

I help clients transition less from extreme perspectives towards more positive mindsets when internalizing experiences.

Hello! I’m Danyele Ferrara, LMSW, and I’m truly passionate about helping individuals and families find their path to mental wellness. My journey into mental health began after realizing that my previous career wasn’t giving me the fulfillment I craved. I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives, especially those dealing with mental health issues. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2009. I started my professional journey working with children with severe mental health issues and their families to navigate mental health challenges.

As a Clinician, with 17+ years' experience, I have an extensive background in working with children, adolescents, and families facing a range of stressors from mild relationship conflict to more intense mental health symptom management. My specialties include behavior modification and parent skills training to create long term change, strengthen relationships and foster motivation-based behavior compliance. At Behavioral Health Counseling our therapists provide evidenced-based, goal-oriented treatment to individuals, couples, families, and groups. Treatment and Behavior Plans are individualized to meet each patient’s need.
