Find a Therapist in Floral Park, NY

Congratulations on your interest in beginning (or revisiting) psychotherapy. I believe psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can be life-changing practices -- and that positive, productive treatment begins with a safe, trusting, confidential, compassionate, and empathic client-therapist alliance. My approach is based in eclectic psychodynamic psychotherapy. This means that we collaborate toward understanding and resolving your concerns not only in the present moment but also with attention to their origin and your future health and happiness. To do this, I integrate numerous modalities, including CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), relational therapy, object relations, intersubjective, Jungian analysis, and Vedic psychology, as is relevant and helpful to you. In short, I will follow your lead and preference about what approaches you find most satisfying and helpful.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, working with individuals couples and families. I work with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of issues, and with both traditional and non traditional families. Who ever I am working with, I pay attention to the context of people's lives and the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. As a family and couple therapist I work with the ways our interaction patterns serve to promote healing, and the ways that those patterns help to maintain problems. In difficult times both individuals and families can become focused on their problems, and the more positive parts of our lives can become diminished. I think that one of the important tasks of therapy is to help people to focus on and utilize their strengths and resources
