Find a Therapist in Elmont, New York.

Many people say, "The past is the past," or "I want to leave the past behind." I support these statements, as long as the past is actually there...in the past. Many people find that their current experiences in life and relationships mirror situations from their pasts. Without meaning to, you may re-experience pain and/or discomfort in areas such as work, home life, parenting, marriage, or dating that feel familiar from early life experiences and relationships. This is common. Learning about your patterns is the beginning to making more positive choices for yourself.

Whether you are seeking help with a specific problem or simply trying to build a deeper understanding of yourself, my goal is for you to walk away with the confidence of having a clearer path towards your desired life. We do this by examining your life and its issues, identifying ways to move forward, and helping you pick the approach that will fit best for you. Don't worry about the issue, be it addiction, anger,family issues.....there is always an approach. If you want the help, I am determined to help you.

Psychotherapy allows you to explore your struggles, issues, conflicts and insecurities in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I work with you to assist you in finding ways to navigate and cope with your stressors. I utilize a solution focused approach, behavioral techniques and mindfulness, as well as other tools and techniques. Sessions are interactive.

Although I am licensed as a psychoanalyst in New York, over my 37 years of practice I have also trained in Gestalt therapy, bioenergetics, art therapy, psychodrama, group therapy, couples therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Thus I am eclectic and I apply whatever modality is needed in each case. Over the years I have developed a reputation as a psychotherapist who genuinely cares; and those clients who make a commitment to therapy make real progress.

I am successful. I have what I thought I wanted I should be happy but I feel like a failure and why don’t people understand what I am going through? Does that sound like you? Then you are in the right place. When you feel this way it time to look at your life, relationships and where you want to be. With a free consultation I can get you started.

I care deeply about the people I work with and offer a personable and warm approach to psychotherapy. I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques, including CBT and Insight Oriented Therapies, and I tailor my sessions to meet your unique needs. My clients learn coping skills to address daily stressors, and how to alter negative self-talk that exacerbates anxiety, depression, and feeling out of control of their life. I help my clients explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and to address the root of what is troubling them. I center our work on building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel at ease, and are fully seen, without fear of judgement or rejection.

If you find yourself struggling with the same old issues to no avail, I can help. Using a collaborative approach, I will work with you to identify the feelings, beliefs and behavioral patterns keeping you stuck. We will get curious about the narrative you have about yourself and question long-held ideas of what you should and shouldn't do and be. Through this process of exploration, discovery and growth, you will open up to new ways of understanding yourself, the world, and what is truly possible for you.

We are charting a new path that brings outcomes focused therapy to you. We simplify over 100 years of proven psychology and make it meaningful to your needs, goals, and journey. Our approach is adapted to fit your specific needs. Together, we map your path forward with our LifeMAP — a unique set of tools we have developed to clarify your goals, transparently track your progress, and move you towards your destination, so you can see and feel the progress being made.

Psychotherapy, what is it? Good question. There are a million answers. We at Creative Now Therapy, see it as a process of learning about yourself more deeply, getting to your core wounds, so you can learn to make different choices and makes changes that are right for you. We like to use this metaphor to describe our process: you've been living in a dark room, bumping into furniture, can't find the door...but imagine if you could turn on the lights, move over to the chair for some rest, or open the windows. Maybe you even leave the room entirely. We're here to help you turn on the lights and figure things out. Get in touch with us today.

I welcome and foster your deep expression of joy, sadness, vulnerability, wisdom, as well as lack of clarity. When you know that you are fully accepted as yourself, and when you can fully see yourself, then you can also accept and love your full self as you truly are. By the therapy pointing to moments and narratives that are full of authenticity and feeling, and highlighting those into awareness, you can start to sense and feel areas of yourself that you had forgotten existed, or had forgotten the importance of. Through therapy you will, through ongoing open discussion and emotional connection, reclaim lost parts of yourself and as a result, live more fully and thrive.
