Find a Therapist in Manhasset, New York.

Psychotherapy has been proven to relieve symptoms of stress. Stress comes in many forms, feelings, expressions and feels different for each person. My goal in psychotherapy is to hold a safe space for you to explore what it is that brought you here, so that, together with you, I can help you improve your life, reduce your stress symptoms as well as discover and experience meaning in everyday life.

Psychotherapy is commonly known as talk therapy, verbal therapy or treatment. Therapy is the process of talking with a professional clinician about issues related to one's mental health. Therapy may address a problem's causes, triggers, and potential solutions. Treatment may be done by an individual, in a group, with a spouse or partner, or with a family. Children, adolescents, teenagers, adults and seniors may all participate in therapy.

The mind, body and spirit are intimately connected to how we asses our overall health and wellness. Most of us can agree that our own mental, physical and spiritual wellness is the single most important priority in our lives. However, how much of our energy and hard work goes into nourishing and improving these areas of our lives? In today's fast paced world, many of us spend too much time and energy on areas of our lives that are draining and depleting and not nearly enough time on the areas of our lives that enrich and nourish our health, wellness and overall sense of joy. The good news is we all have the ability to adapt and change.

You will learn about yourself from a holistic perspective - the way your mind, body, and emotions interact from moment to moment. I will work with you to create and individualized treatment program that works on changes you want to make in your life. The relationship we build will help provide a space for healing and safe exploration into things that are difficult for you to talk about, face, or accept. Counseling is a team effort.

Individual adults and couples tell me that I am unlike most other therapists that they have worked with and that they feel like I work very hard with them. My clients tell me that they feel supported and comfortable in our sessions and that I have the ability to keep track of the important details of their lives. Our work pays dividends to you as you develop lifelong tools to: manage conflict, improve communication, lower stress, and reduce anxiety and depression. We will work together to help you become empowered with the confidence to take care of yourself while also “juggling” life’s commitments, resulting in you finally getting the life that you want.

One of the most life altering actions when seeking to gain traction in the struggle to live a satisfying life is the choice to work with a therapist. It signaled a ground-breaking change in our approach to meeting the challenges we faced; demonstrating a shift that embraced the possibility of tapping into knowledge and support outside our own skull. Most of us have a better ability to see and understand the actions and motivation of others than our own. We all have personal blind spots. This is evident early in therapy, when one experiences striking progress as a result of new insights gained in therapy.

Psychotherapy or individual counseling is generally conducted in individual sessions for people over the age of approximately 18. Psychotherapy is the generic term counselors use when they want to help people overcome symptoms such as anxiety, anger, depression, general unhappiness, unfulfillment, stress, worry, fear, etc. Some of the counselors at the Mars & Venus Counseling Center are psychotherapists who are well-versed in the many forms and techniques of counseling for the treatment of a myriad of presenting issues. We, as well as most psychotherapists, consider ourselves eclectic.

My approach to therapy is that it must be a collaborative partnership. We start with fostering this trusting relationship and learn to work together. Then I can give you concrete tools and strategies which we can practice together. Then it is your turn to practice and implement these strategies in daily life, and maintain an open discussion about what is helping/working and what is not. My approach is not "one size fits all" but is tailored to your needs and your lifestyle.

We strive to help individuals reach their highest potential and connect with their inner strength through the process of psychotherapy. Using a collaborative and supportive approach, we help you explore your roots in order to understand why an issue may be occurring and combine these insights with evidence-based interventions (e.g. positive reinforcement, relaxation training, mindfulness, coping skills) to help improve overall emotional health and wellness. We help you experience greater joy, peace and positive interactions with your loved ones.

Like most human experiences, I believe that Psychotherapy is a process. It needs a significant investment of time an energy and can be navigated in three stages: 1. Exploration; 2. Identification; 3. Change. My role as a therapist is to create the space for people to explore and identify some areas within themselves that they want to change and take the risk.

When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently.

Do you ever feel like you could use some help uncovering your potential? Or that you are capable of leading a happy and fulfilling life, but that you need help getting there? By working closely with you and your specific needs & circumstances, I can help you improve your connection to yourself and to develop relationships with others that feel satisfying and alive.

Therapy can be helpful in many ways. Therapy can provide support, coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks. It can be helpful in facilitating personal growth, improving interpersonal relationships, coping with family concerns, marriage issues, and the difficulties of daily life. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn.
