Override Hero Title

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why? Are you facing big life changes- starting out, starting over, or somewhere in between? I work with clients from young adults navigating independence to older adults facing loss, identity shifts, or new purpose. I aim to be a mirror, a soundboard, and a source of steady encouragement. I believe in showing up with transparency and compassion, and I value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, involvement, and accountability. I am not afraid of tough conversations, so you don't have to fear sharing your truth.

I am currently employed full time as a clinical manager at a community mental health counseling center. I have spent several years practicing in mental health outpatient clinics as well as substance use outpatient clinics as a psychotherapist, group therapist, and supervisor. My passion for the connection and growth created in psychotherapy has motivated my private practice.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I work with adults navigating substance use, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, life transitions and relationship challenges.

Christian is an accomplished and compassionate board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 10 years of experience in mental health. He is affiliated with Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital where he treats adults on the inpatient psychiatric unit and Quannacut Outpatient Services where he treats both adults and adolescents struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. He also has extensive experience treating older adults and has been affiliated with multiple senior living facilities on Long Island.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my Master's from Syracuse University and my Bachelor's from Houghton University. In undergrad, my focus was on developmental and social psychology with a minor in family studies. My post-graduate experience and training include therapeutic treatment with individuals, parent-child relationships, adolescents, couples, marriage, and whole families. Beyond the therapy room, I have worked with addiction for over 17 years and severe persistent mental illnesses for 3 years. Today I focus on treating mental health issues - whether with couples and marriages, families, or individuals - from a relational lens.

I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step to improved mental health. My name is Stephanie and I have been a social worker for the past 13 years. I have since had much experience working with adolescents and adults with both medical and mental health challenges. I have also worked closely with new moms on many of the challenges they face postpartum and working through those challenges together. My experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings allow me to connect with clients at various stages to help overcome challenges.

As a bilingual clinician, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to expressing your deepest emotions or cultural nuances.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate emotional regulation, life stressors, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I take a solution-focused, practical approach, tailoring each session to meet your individual needs and goals. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and meaningful.

I believe therapy is most effective when it comes from both professional training and real-life experience I have over 47 years experience. In addition to studying psychology, philosophy, theology, and the arts, I believe therapists should live fully and use what they’ve learned to help others grow into their fullest selves. I have a Master of Social Work from Fordham, an Advanced Clinical Certificate from NYU, and more than four decades of experience helping people.

My mission is to help people like yourself to silence the noise in this world and recalibrate in order to move forward in living to your full potential
