My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

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!

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 licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified sex therapist offering secure telehealth across Connecticut, New York, and Michigan. You’re probably not here because things are fine. Something in your intimate life, your relationship, your body, or your sense of yourself as a sexual person isn’t working the way you want it to. You’ve reached the point where you’re ready to actually do something about it. That takes courage. It tells me something important about you. I’m an LCSW and certified sex therapist. This work is the center of my practice, not a sideline. I focus on women’s sexual health, sexual and pelvic pain, desire discrepancy, postpartum concerns, menopause, and couples therapy for intimacy challenges. I also offer relationship therapy to LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and people in kink, polyamorous, or ethically non-monogamous relationships. Whatever brings you here, nothing requires an explanation or an apology. My approach is direct and clinically grounded. We start by naming what’s actually happening, not just the presenting problem, but the real thing underneath it: shame, avoidance, disconnection, grief. We work with what’s true. From there, we build language for the things that are hard to say. We work toward changes that actually hold. I practice as a mental health therapist via secure telehealth. This is a private-pay practice. If you’d like to learn more before reaching out, I encourage you to click the link to visit my website. Most people find it helpful to spend a few minutes there first.

I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy in approaching problems of living. Mindfulness-based psychotherapy is about rediscovering the experience of basic goodness, peacefulness, wisdom and calm. It is about becoming fully present. It is a bodily as well as a mental experience. Mindfulness helps the mind expand. With practice, one steadily can become aware of, rather than governed by, feelings, thoughts, and reactions. Mindfulness is a capacity to watch these things AS they are happening. As this capacity of mindfulness grows in us, that which is mindful, the one who is watching, can little by little begin to act as inner guide. You are not your problems. Even if you feel like your difficulties--including past trauma--are defining you, they are not who you are, they are something you have which you need to familiarize yourself with by learning how to listen to what your deeper nature is saying to you. Much of the suffering that brings one to therapy can be found in negative feelings and beliefs, in theories one has towards oneself. The ultimate healing can come through recognizing and reconnecting with your essential nature, verses your conditioning, seeing who exactly is there rather than defining yourself through the haze of your own or another's theories and assumptions. Everything's a rumor until it's true for you. Buddhism teaches us that our basic goodness is not an invention. It doesn't need to be created or imagined. It can't be bought or sold. And even if it becomes buried, it cannot be destroyed. Who we are becomes hidden to us by our conditioning. In that forgetfulness, in the absence of a mindful mind, we are dragged around by our thoughts and emotions (both positive & negative,) our reactions and sensations. We experience things like anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, everyday stress, tension in relationships, even stressful happiness! We believe we are the wave (our thoughts, emotions, etc.) rather than recognizing we are the ocean from which the waves of our experiences arise and return. So what can we do? Bring compassion. It may sound very simple, yet it is extremely powerful to cultivate an attitude of loving-kindness towards yourself. I know this to be true personally and have seen it over and over again in my professional life. Kindness can gently lead to understanding. From understanding, compassion can arise. Compassion is key. I will provide you the best possible care through a treatment approach that is tailored to you in a safe, respectful, supportive, collaborative healing environment.

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I am affiliated with Mentel. I provide virtual consultations for patients of all ages and genders in New York, addressing a range of needs that may include common illnesses, chronic health conditions, mental health concerns, and minor injuries. My approach begins with listening carefully and developing a clear understanding of each patient’s condition, concerns, and goals. I work collaboratively with my patients to create individualized treatment plans that reflect their specific needs and circumstances. In addition to evaluating and treating patients, I provide follow-up care, answer health-related questions, encourage preventive care, and coordinate referrals to specialists when appropriate. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Mercy University, and I remain committed to continuing education so my practice reflects current medical research and clinical developments.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience treating adolescents & adults, as well as training graduate-level clinical counselors. My specialty, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is an empirically-supported short-term approach to treat anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessional thoughts, compulsive or unhealthy behaviors, depression, anger, and trauma. CBT strategies can also be useful in the domains of stress management, romantic relationship concerns, family conflict, parenting, self-improvement, goal-setting and performance enhancement. I was trained and mentored directly by Dr. Albert Ellis, the founding father of CBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy). For women seeking therapy, I have also focused on how to most effectively help women with challenges faced throughout the life span, such as: dating, marriage, divorce, emotional disturbance, gender role frustration, parenting, self-image, stress management, career satisfaction and development, leadership roles, and the elusive work-life balance. If you are struggling with any of these issues, I’m here to help! My therapeutic work is based on a collaborative approach and a healthy dose of warmth, acceptance, efficiency, hope, support, and humor. We will work together to set goals and help you develop the tools and strategies to make them a reality. Please contact me for a free phone consultation.

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 specialize in helping individuals overcome gambling problems, alcohol use, substance use, and the emotional challenges that often accompany them, including anxiety, depression, stress, shame, and relationship difficulties. My approach to therapy is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful and lasting change. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and relapse prevention, I help clients understand the patterns that keep them stuck, strengthen their motivation for change, and develop healthier ways of coping with life's challenges. I believe that for therapy to be effective, people often need to work through the obstacles that are preventing them from moving forward. In my experience, these barriers are frequently rooted in fear, shame, or pride. Whether it is fear of change, shame about past mistakes, or pride that makes it difficult to ask for help or be vulnerable, these obstacles can keep people trapped in unhealthy cycles. My goal is to work collaboratively with you to identify what is holding you back and help you develop the strength, confidence, and willingness to do the things that may feel difficult or uncomfortable. Recovery and personal growth often require stepping outside of your comfort zone, but you do not have to do it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can gain insight, build practical skills, and take meaningful action toward a healthier, more fulfilling, and purpose-driven life.

When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free. Whether it's poor relationships, anxiety, depression, substance or process addictions, trauma, or a desire to deepen their connection with others, I help my clients find strength, flexibility, and compassion, returning themselves to the feeling of being whole. My job is to guide you through the things that have been holding you back in your life. I'm experienced in both modern and historical approaches; psychodynamic, attachment-based, internal family systems, addiction, and psychosynthesis. Regardless of the style of therapy, I specialize in creating safe holding for exploring emotional depth and healing.

I believe that we are all meant to live happy lives, full of meaning. I feel strongly that the adversities we face in our lifetime can serve us well by providing us with the opportunity to gain a higher plain of purpose. My passion and excitement for providing psychotherapy stem from my desire to help individuals discover how they can use their negative experiences in a way that benefits their lives.

I provide practical tools and guidance to help you understand the brilliance of your nervous system and the wisdom it holds. By creating a space rooted in fierce compassion, curiosity, accountability, and even a little humor. Together, we'll work to gently shift the stories, beliefs, and habits that no longer serve you—whether from your personal experience, your lineage, or from the collective. Our work is a holistic partnership where we honor every part of your experience: • Mind: We’ll explore how your thoughts shape your world, influence your feelings and behaviors, and build strategies to shift your mindset. • Body: Moving beyond just ‘talking,’ we will also listen to what your body is telling you, practicing real-time techniques in session to help you manage emotions and find a sense of safety to help you have a different relationship with fear and pain. Ultimately, we will work on rewiring your brain for more calm and resilience. • Soul: To support your deepest self, we explore how a connection to the natural world can foster a profound sense of belonging. We can also integrate the power of ritual—creating intentional, meaningful practices that call our attention to mark what is. These practices help you truly connect with yourself, honor your transitions, and release the old as you ground into a new way of being. Throughout our time together, we will regularly track and measure the impact of our work. This ensures we are making a tangible, positive difference in your symptoms and moving you steadily toward the goals that matter most to you. If this resonates with you and you’re interested in the possibility of working together, please message me to schedule a consultation call. I currently offer in-person psychotherapy in Westchester, offer telehealth sessions to clients living anywhere in New York State and New Jersey, and offer life coaching nationwide.
