Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I have been practicing as a Social Worker for over 38 years. I have a lot of experience in the areas of behavioral health services which includes a host of treatment focus areas and chemical dependency. I am energetic and enthusiastic about my work with clients. I am currently accepting new clients at this time. I like to incorporate in my work with clients self expression and self exploration. Outside of my work I love to engage in dance therapy, exercise for fitness, reading and sewing.

I genuinely enjoy my work as a psychologist, and feel honored and privileged to be able to help people on their journey toward health, happiness and well-being. I strive to being a good listener, compassionate, respectful and nonjudgmental. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 23 years experience in private practice during which I saw a great diversity of clientele, each owning a variety of mental health issues. I have specialties in substance use issues, mood and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, as well as grief and life transitions. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and I have a special place in my heart for folks who have served our country in the military and for senior citizens.

I incorporate a mix of modalities and interventions including somatic interventions (Brainspotting, EMDR techniques, music, tapping, etc), Cognitive and dialectical behavioral strategies and psychoeducation

In first sessions, I like to get a thorough history (being mindful that not all clients are comfortable with that, which is A OK) and a sense of strengths, resources, needs and goals for working together

I have18 years of psychotherapy experience with adults in the areas of mental health, stress management, and couples therapy.

You deserve a down to earth, compassionate, counselor and therapist. You deserved to be listened to with no judgement and pre-conceived notions. You deserve flexible hours, and availability to speak in total privacy. You were made to breathe and not gasp for air!! Its ok to take a day off from work and not feel guilty!

I’m a caring and nonjudgmental therapist who believes everyone deserves a safe space to be heard and supported. I work alongside my clients with compassion, helping them navigate challenges and discover what helps them feel their best. Nothing makes me happier than seeing people grow, heal, and reach their goals!!

I'm a seasoned clinical social worker licensed in New York and Florida who has worked with all ages. I have my Bachelor's degree from Russell Sage College Troy, New York in Sociology and Psychology. I received my Master's degree from The State University of New York at Albany with a focus on individual counseling. I've been a therapist for 16 years.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD,

obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction, panic attacks, trauma, grief and loss, geriatric issues, stress-related disorders, bipolar disorders and schizophrenia.

The past is a good place to visit but certainly not a place to stay
