Dr. Joel Stukalin, NYS-Licensed and FAACP-National Board Certified Clinical Psychologist, Individual & Couple Counselor

It is my passion and honor to provide higher-quality counseling sessions to a wide variety of clients from many cultures, religions, and ethnicities. The self-affirming goal during our counseling sessions is to provide you with helpful support and understanding for renewed health and optimism. Our enlightened efforts together also guide you toward finding paths to greater self-fulfillment in relationships, career and personal growth. Whether or not presently in counseling, perhaps you owe yourself, and your loved ones, the opportunity to invest in several special counseling sessions, which I can provide (917-992-5334). Our counseling sessions will provide valuable knowledge, feedback and unique tools for ascendancy in meeting and possibly even exceeding your life's goals. Although no guarantees can truly exist in counseling (or life itself), still, your choosing a talented, widely recognized and experienced counselor to guide you is most often the wisest, most productive and joyful choice a caring person can pursue. We, as caring professionals, know that self-empowerment and deeper interpersonal satisfaction (intimacy) are well-worth advancing in our lives. With compassionate and knowledgeable guidance, these worthy pursuits can often occur, and your personal growth can be refined further during the process of enlightened and effective counseling. In the interest of better serving your needs and practical concerns, I also specialize in providing short-term effective counseling wherever possible or desired by you. This is an efficient and economical way of moving forward your personal goals within 4 to 10 sessions. I welcome you to set-up a counseling-consultation session with me, at your earliest convenience, to explore your "personal growth plan" that will help us understand and resolve the most important concerns and issues in your life. I can assure you that I will give you the total attention, compassion, respect and helpful feedback (suggestions and strategy) that you deserve, as we start the process of productive counseling. For more information, please call me @ 917-992-5334.

May I mention to those of you who are considering calling me for an initial consultation (718-544-6400) that my wide experience, American Psychological Association Approved training and Post-Doctoral Advanced Training, and expertise in counseling are amongst the highest in my profession. I am a NYS Licensed and American Board of Professional Psychology Certified Clinical Psychologist, Couples Counselor, Child Psychologist and Psychoanalyst; and have been a well-respected psychological contributor to the Forest Hills, Queens and Manhattan communities for over 30 years. I can offer you convenient WEEKEND and WEEKDAY appointment-availability, during daytime hours, and will try to see you soon after you call to set-up an appointment (917-992-5334.) Parking is always available in my Forest Hills Gardens office. And my office is in a quiet and exceptionally beautiful area of Forest Hills.

Some additional reasons to consider setting-up an appointment with me (917-992-5334)..... For those who are new to counseling or psychotherapy: I work well with new-comers to counseling and psychotherapy, providing patience, extra support, and care for those who are initially intimidated or anxious about coming to a counseling session. For Married and Unmarried Couples: Also, many couples find my approach effective and inspiring, with the right amount of insight and optimism. I am an easy person to speak to and speak in plain English which makes a lot of sense to most people. For Parents Needing Guidance and Special Care (Parental Consultations): Parents with children of any age find my consultation sessions helpful and constructive when working out problems within their families. I bring information, perspective and necessary humor (when appropriate) to the family issues.
