My approach is to work with you to identify your personal goals for growth and build awareness through deep reflection on your life and the way you see the world.

As a Rapid Transformational Therapist , I'm passionate about helping individuals rewire their brains to project positive images and words. I believe in the power of beliefs—first you make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you. My mission is to empower others to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their true potential. I chose to become an RTT therapist because I find the approach both creative and innovative, and I'm excited to work with clients to help them improve their lives. I can help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By becoming more attuned to your beliefs, you can create a brighter, more positive future for yourself. Let's work together to unleash the best version of you!

It takes courage to seek help for your personal struggles, and it takes persistence to keep trying. I learned this myself as a young college student facing painful life challenges. The help my own therapist offered me inspired me to offer assistance to others. I have more than 27 years of experience working with adults and adolescents in individual and family settings. I offer a well-trained ear to listen to your problems, as well as caring, warmth, and the ability to ask the right questions. My office is a safe and confidential place that allows you to explore painful losses, anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma and pain, and unhealthy habits. I maintain healthy boundaries while being genuine and empathetic. Although I've been practicing for many years, I believe that life is a learning process and education never ends. I work in consultation with supervisors and colleagues so that I remain up-to-date on the most effective treatments. I'll do everything I can to offer you the help you seek, but if there is a way in which I can't assist you, I'll help you find the resources you need. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and know that I admire the bravery it takes to embark on the path toward healing and change.

If you're feeling stretched thin between your work, your relationship, or both, and you're exhausted from carrying it alone, you're not imagining how heavy it's become. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight without knowing why. Maybe you're successful everywhere except in the parts of your life that matter most. Either way, you're likely here because you're ready for something to actually change, not just to talk about it. I'm Jon Abelack, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut, and I work with couples and individuals dealing with relationship strain, career stress, and burnout. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in high-stakes careers, so I understand firsthand what it's like to perform under pressure while your personal life quietly falls apart in the background. I bring that same direct, no-nonsense approach into the room. My work draws on Gestalt therapy and Relational Life Therapy, which means we don't just talk about your problems in the abstract. We pay close attention to what's actually happening between us right now, because that usually tells us more than any story about the past. I'll help you communicate more honestly, break the patterns that keep tripping you up, and set the boundaries you've been avoiding, whether that's with a partner, at work, or with yourself. This isn't therapy that drifts for years without direction. It's active, it's honest, and it's built to get you real, lasting movement toward a relationship, or a life, that actually works. If you're ready to feel grounded again, more connected, and back in control, I'd welcome the chance to talk about how we might work together.

I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered care across the lifespan. My experience in emergency medicine, primary care, urgent care, and behavioral health allows me to take a holistic approach that recognizes the important connection between physical and mental well-being. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment planning. My approach is warm, attentive, and collaborative. I take time to understand each patient’s complete story, not only their symptoms, so we can identify underlying concerns and develop a practical treatment plan that supports their needs, goals, and lifestyle. I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Universidad del Sagrado Corazón and completed family nursing training at Long Island University Brooklyn. I remain committed to evidence-based care and strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their health.

You deserve more than just feeling "okay"! I'm an experienced clinical psychologist based on Long Island, with three offices in Garden City, Rockville Centre, and Roslyn Heights, NY. I am to help you overcome obstacles, feel empowered, and achieve fulfillment in life. I help people with marriage and relationships difficulties, occupational challenges, and daily functioning. I use a sensitive, supportive, and warm approach, offering you my undivided and judgment free attention. I love working with people, and aim to make each of my clients feel comfortable. I adjust my treatment approach based on each client's needs, and I work to understand your background and then create a path to help you experience happiness and a fulfilling future. For those with anxiety, relationship, depression, stress, or any other types of struggles, please call me today and let's make sure that you're on a path towards a happier life.

I commend you on taking the first step, but anxiety, depression, feeling lost and out of control are not states you need to endure. I am passionate about helping others build tools and develop the skills they need to find relief and gain the confidence to navigate through life's rough times. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the goal is to achieve empowerment to work through any current issues while gaining the ability to handle future ones. It is not about controlling the waves, it's about learning to surf them.

I am a compassionate, experienced psychologist, in practice for over 35 years. I have been fortunate to have a vocation that is my avocation; and, relatedly, I expend substantial effort in ever-broadening my skills so that I can be as effective as possible in helping my clients reach their goals. In addition to clients that I help in my practice as a therapist, I enjoy helping others through the self-help books that I write for adults, and for children and their parents.

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist with experience supporting people through difficult life transitions, trauma, anxiety therapy, and depression. These issues never exist in a vacuum, and they almost always become entangled with each other, feeling overwhelming at times. You can expect transparency, authenticity, and empathy when meeting with me. I tend to use a personalized approach to therapy, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help challenge negative core beliefs while building positive, sustainable coping techniques. Therapy can be daunting, but it’s also a journey. I invite you to bring your strengths, challenges, hopes, and fears, and share them in a safe, empathic space as we work together.

Please contact me via email. It is the best way to reach me. I provide individual mental health counseling services and strive to create an atmosphere where my clients can feel empowered, respected, safe, and understood. In my practice, I work with a wide variety of problems and difficulties; however, areas of particular expertise include treatment for anxiety, depression, anger management, alcohol and substance abuse, and trauma. Additionally, I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist-II and also approved by OASAS to provide Clinical Screening and Assessment services for motorists who have been charged with or convicted of an impaired driving offense.

I believe that a successful path to achieving growth and change in therapy starts with feeling a comfortable and collaborative connection to your therapist. I strive to help my patients establish goals and feel a sense of progress in therapy. I meet my patients where they are emotionally and help guide them in the direction they hope to be. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Therapy in my practice. I also use CBT-I for insomnia as well as EMDR for trauma work. I provide a relaxed, judgement-free environment. In today's world, the level of anxiety and depression has been on the rise, especially in the younger generations. I strive to remove the stigma of mental health treatment for my patients. I also utilize teletherapy to assist patients who cannot get to the office regularly. My practice also provides parent training to assist parents with their child's symptoms or diagnosis. I conduct neuropsychological, psychoeducational, and psychological evaluations to examine symptoms, diagnose, and provide thorough and detailed recommendations. I work with children ages 6-12, adolescents ages 13-17 and adults ages 18 and up.

I use an insightful and personalized approach to help clients identify barriers to happiness and gain a better understanding of their emotions and experiences. Knowing yourself deeply is an essential ingredient in creating the life you want, and this type of emotional learning ideally occurs within the context of a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help clients explore behavioral patterns and achieve psychological well-being. My approach focuses on helping clients with a range of issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and anger management. I provide clients with the emotional self-regulation tools, coping and communication skills, mindfulness techniques, and self-management strategies needed to cultivate change.
