Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in West Sayville, NY

Are you feeling defeated? Do you feel like you're drowning with negative emotions, the buildup of stress and/or relationship issues? Do you feel like your misunderstood? Recognizing the need for change is not easy and is the first step in the therapeutic process. In my years of experience, I have found that therapy helps one to understand themselves with greater perspective. This understanding leads to improving communication, making healthier relationship choices and ultimately living authentically. Finding the right therapist can make a world of difference on your journey!

The foundation of my work as a therapist is the knowledge that attunement in a therapeutic relationship helps people make lasting positive changes in their lives. We are all entitled to happiness, and to live with meaning and purpose. I work with my clients in partnership as we define personal strengths and rediscover their authentic Self. My clients are people who have struggled with a myriad of challenges. My philosophy is that these challenges do not define who you are. I do not treat depression or anxiety. I work with people who struggle with relational patterns that result in depression and anxiety want to change.

As a therapist, my goal is to support clients in their journey by using individualized treatment approaches. One of the most important indicators of treatment success is the connection between client and therapist. I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in order to help untangle them. I believe that effective therapy can promote a renewed sense of self-worth and understanding through supported self-discovery.

Making the decision to engage in therapy can be a daunting and at times a scary undertaking, but rest assured, this is a time of self-growth and positivity. I believe in a Person-Centered approach, which means that WE work together in the process of therapy toward formalizing your desired treatment goals for self-growth.

Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness. People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.
