I practice dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in the addiction and mental health field. I believe in a holistic approach in mind, body, and spirit.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist currently accepting new clients for in-person sessions in Nesconset or teletherapy across New York State. I provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions or thoughts, and challenges in romantic relationships, friendships, and the workplace. I believe that psychotherapy should offer more than just symptom relief. My goal is to help you make meaningful, long-lasting change. With each person I work with, I develop a unique bond and a shared language that makes the therapeutic relationship feel genuine and safe. I aim to help you feel seen, understood, gently challenged, and accepted.

If you're ready to make a change, I can help. Sessions are dynamic and change-oriented. Working together I will assist you in gaining an awareness of the faulty thinking that stems from your past and learn to replace negative thinking patterns with a more positive, realistic outlook. We'll get to the root of what's fueling your struggles, and then we'll work toward applying new ideas to help you create healthier behaviors and pursue happiness more effectively. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a humanistic approach, I can assist you in looking at yourself and the world with a new perspective. You'll experience relief from symptoms, change self-defeating behaviors, and enjoy better quality relationships. My goal is to help you actively and effectively create sustainable change in your life. People tell me that they experience more self-compassion and less self-blame through their work with me.

Ven Grullon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. They have had the opportunity to work with various populations and be part of the healing journey for many individuals and families.

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Depression Grief and Loss Issues and Addictions Dual-Diagnosis. I make it a priority to schedule new clients within about a week's time once a request for services has been made. I also provide treatment for the following concerns: Behavioral problems, Adjustment Issues, Anger management Difficulties, Self-Esteem Issues, Spirituality, Divorce Recovery and support for Individuals struggling with relationship issues.

I'm Nicole Wilkinson, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor II and a Primary Therapist. My journey in the recovery community, particularly in the Greater Boston area, has been both enriching and humbling. With a BS from Bryant and certification from UMASS Boston, my educational and professional experiences have shaped my approach to helping those struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism. My purpose and passion lie in guiding individuals to find their own purpose and navigate the challenges of early sobriety. I believe in a holistic approach to recovery, recognizing that addiction is not just an individual problem but also a family and community issue. This understanding informs my work, not only with individuals but also in providing family counseling. A key focus of my approach is on long-term recovery and future-focused goal fulfillment. I work collaboratively with my clients to set realistic, achievable goals, helping them to build a vision for their future that motivates and guides their recovery journey. I strive to empower my clients, helping them to recognize and harness their strengths, develop resilience, and foster a sense of hope and possibility. My approach to healing at Rockland Recovery is centered on understanding each individual's unique journey, using a range of therapeutic tools to support their path to recovery, and empowering them to lead a life of purpose, fulfillment, and long-term sobriety.

Hi there! I am a board-certified, Yale & UPMC-trained, integrative psychiatrist with a CT-based telepsychiatry private practice that focuses on combining traditional psychiatric approaches with evidence-informed holistic methods to address you as a whole person - mind, body, & soul. I incorporate judicious use of medication, psychotherapy, mind-body medicine, nutritional supplementation, and healthy lifestyle modifications (i.e. sleep, diet, and exercise) into a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan that is aligned with your goals and vision for a fulfilling life. I bring an approach that is person-centered, strength-based, culturally-sensitive, and trauma-informed. In working therapeutically with patients, I use methods derived from both solution and process-oriented psychotherapeutic frameworks. I start the therapy process by actively listening to you and your story and tailoring the process to fit your unique situation. I believe that healing is a holistic process that requires reflection and action. In some cases, our work together may involve a more goal-oriented approach of teaching you concrete tools that help you gain insight into yourself and break free from the negative patterns holding you back. In other cases, we may journey on a more depth-oriented approach that explores how you think, experience and relationally function in the world (including biological, social and cultural aspects) and allows an open, non-judgmental space to process larger life questions of human existence and personal values & beliefs in order to not only better understand the root causes of your suffering, but also to better understand yourself so you can become empowered in making life choices that align with who you are and lead a life that feels sincere, connected, and purposeful. I enjoy working alongside perceptive, growth-driven individuals with inquisitive minds and nostalgic souls who are invested in doing the work to better understand themselves and looking for a therapist who will meet them with empathy, authenticity, honesty, creativity, and a dash of humor. I believe that Medicine = Science + Story. Beyond improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes, I have found that utilizing a narrative lens in the clinical context allows a reframe in perspective away from what is lost in illness and toward what is preserved — and in doing so, engages the innate ability I believe every human being possesses for resilience and healing. Not everything in life happens for a reason or is within our control, but we can find meaning and a sense of purpose in the things that happen. I am passionate about doing the rewarding work of providing holistic, incremental care that alleviates suffering, promotes self-discovery, and helps patients still feel like people as they create more authentic and satisfying lives. This goal is representative of the kind of orientation with which I approach my work as well as my own life — around having an open heart, a curious mind, and a willingness to pay it forward. I provide collaborative, compassionate, and conscientious care that values the therapeutic relationship as central to the healing process. If you are looking for a trusted, long-term partner on your journey towards optimal wellness, I would love to hear from you to see if we might be a good fit! To request a free discovery phone call to see if we might be a good fit for working together, please submit a request via the "Book Now" button above or my website (www.ikigaipsychiatry.com).

Everyone struggles with a variety of issues throughout their lives and I am dedicated to your healthy growth and development. I utilize play therapy for children and a cognitive behavioral approach for adolescents and adults. I have a passion for helping couples to reconnect and become friends again. Discover the tools to improve and transform your everyday life. I believe there is hope in all circumstances and we are all a work in progress.

I focus on creating a safe and inviting environment for clients who may have difficulty expressing themselves. I support clients by integrating art therapy and psychotherapy. This approach enhances your confidence, allowing you to better cope with anxieties, challenging behavior patterns, and the stresses of everyday life.

Most clients tell me they feel comfortable with me almost immediately, often within the first phone call. I don’t rush you or sit behind emotional distance. I show up as a real person, warm, steady, curious, and without judgment, so you can finally stop carrying everything alone. My approach is conversational and grounded in real life. I help you slow your thoughts enough to separate fear from reality, soften the self-criticism that’s been running the show, and understand the experiences that shaped you. I gently challenge the patterns that keep you anxious or overwhelmed, but always in a way that feels supportive rather than intrusive. People often say therapy with me feels surprisingly natural, like speaking with someone who truly gets them.
