Find a Therapist in West Nyack, NY

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!

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.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed or stuck? If so, notice that you've already moved in a positive direction by searching for a therapist to help you overcome obstacles and guide you toward greater fulfillment. Change is not always easy, but it is always possible. Often, uncomfortable feelings or aspects of ourselves that we'd rather not confront get in the way. We hope to protect ourselves through avoidance, and yet avoidance is often the very reason we can't move forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, family conflict, life transitions, job or school stress, or painful experiences from your past, we can work together to address your concerns. We will uncover the meaning you attach to your thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you can consider alternative perspectives and choices to help you progress. I'll work with you to clarify your goals, identify steps to get there, and meet challenges along the way. We will take it one step at a time and work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I invite you to take the next step to contact me via phone or e-mail, or visit my website: www.drleesaltzman.com and simply click the "Schedule a Consultation" link. I look forward to meeting with you to determine how I can help you get on track.

I believe effective mental health care begins with listening carefully and understanding the whole person, not simply identifying symptoms. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to understand each patient’s experiences, concerns, cultural background, personal values, and treatment goals so we can develop a plan that feels both clinically appropriate and personally meaningful. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), bipolar challenges, psychosis, trauma, mood-related challenges, and substance use. Depending on each patient’s needs, treatment may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and practical coping skills. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing difficult experiences. When spirituality is important to a patient, I welcome incorporating it into treatment. My goal is to help each person better understand what they’re experiencing, strengthen their ability to manage challenges, and make meaningful progress toward greater stability and well-being.

You deserve support that honors the fullness of who you are. Maybe you've always been the one others rely on, yet you're quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself. Perhaps you're questioning a relationship, struggling with anxiety that never seems to quiet down, feeling disconnected from who you once were, or wondering why you keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns. Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, carrying the weight of family expectations, or feeling stuck between where you are and where you want to be. Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure it out alone. My approach to therapy is integrative, compassionate, and collaborative. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and feel genuinely heard. Together, we'll explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and physical well-being while identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, strengthen your confidence, and create meaningful change that feels authentic to who you are. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and psychodynamic therapy. Grounded in multicultural humility, trauma-informed care, and attachment-focused principles, I help clients understand how past experiences and relationships may continue to influence present challenges. Along the way, you'll gain practical tools to manage life's difficulties while also developing a deeper understanding of yourself that supports lasting growth. I hold a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College and a Master of Arts in Psychology from New York University. I also earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Communication, with a minor in Applied Psychology and Education, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. My background in psychotherapy, clinical research, behavioral therapy, and health coaching allows me to combine the latest psychological science with compassionate, individualized care. It would be an honor to support you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and a life that feels more fully your own.

Many aspects of life can be challenging, and we all struggle at times, but you don't have to struggle alone. Therapy can offer a safe space to work through emotional barriers, ultimately leading to a greater sense of meaning, growth, and fulfillment. I also think every person’s story and style is unique, which is why I prefer an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing and blending different clinical frameworks suited to each client. Whether you are new to therapy or have been before, your mental health is nothing to take for granted, and I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I work with adults of all ages, including working professionals, artists, and students, spanning a variety of different backgrounds. Common issues I've worked with include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, work stress, shame, addiction, or finding a greater sense of meaning and purpose. My philosophy is also based on a wellness model, which means I don’t focus too heavily on pathology or diagnoses. I value the mindset that we are all striving to reach our own potential in different ways, and all possess unique strengths as well as areas for growth. My hope is to create a safe and collaborative space together, where we can really work on the issues that matter most. Engaging in therapy is an act of courage and strength, and my aim is to work together to ultimately help you reach your goals.

I’m Francesca Wehr, LCSW, and I believe that healing is a collaborative process. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate trauma, anxiety, and depression. With a background in private practice, non-profits, and New Jersey’s System of Care, I provide tailored support that meets you where you are. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, integrating EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and foster resilience. Whether you're looking to manage triggers, improve emotional connection in your relationship, or better understand your experiences through psychoeducation, we’ll work together to develop strategies that support long-term healing. As a certified Nurtured Heart Parent Coach and NJ School Social Worker, I also support children, adolescents, and families in strengthening emotional regulation and communication. For couples, I incorporate the Gottman Method to break unhealthy patterns and create deeper, more fulfilling relationships. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I work with adults and couples, offering mental health counseling services from a trauma-informed and collaborative stance. I use experiential approaches that foster self-examination and self-compassion, on the one hand, and that facilitate growth (reflected in behavioral change or a shift of attitudes or mindset). I work with clients (age: 21+) interested in emotional self-regulation, in learning and practicing assertive and mindful communication, and who look forward to the gradual embodying of their therapeutic learning.

My goal and passion as a therapist is to help you maximize your potential to lead a full and satisfying life. Often, barriers get in the way of this, and it can be easy to get stuck on what to do next. Going through a major life change can often create or reinforce these barriers, causing difficulty in relationships, impairment in emotional health, and loss of identity. In our work together, I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, and respectful environment, allowing you to delve into the source and patterns of your difficulties. With this new understanding of who you are, we will collaboratively work on developing new strategies, coping skills and adaptive behaviors that will enable you to live the life you want to live.

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.

Hello! My name is Alex Fromosky, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New Jersey. I have a Bachelor’s in Sociology from Montclair State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. Throughout my time in the field, I have worked individually with clients addressing issues such as substance use and addiction, trauma and posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and all of the fun stuff in between! Mental health is already intimidating to discuss, and I pride myself on having a direct yet supportive approach when it comes to therapy. I like to bring my authentic self to sessions, and I hope you will, too. I also like to approach some of these harder issues in a fun, caring, and lighter way, so you can feel more comfortable exploring some of the things that have been hiding away for so long. I utilize skills from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in sessions, which allows for a well-rounded perspective.
