I have worked within the mental health field as a school psychologist and a licensed mental health professional for almost 30 years. my experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, children and adolescents, parenting skills, self-esteem, empowerment, life transitions, and divorce.
As a trauma therapist, I help people overcome terrible things that have happened to them in their lives. Abusive childhoods, violence in interpersonal relationships, rape, sexual assault, and cult survivors are my areas of focus. I help resolve the PTSD that often results from these atrocities, by using EMDR and traditional psychotherapy.
The common lie my clients tell themselves is, “It’s not that bad, other people have it worse.” You’re not other people. You’re allowed to get help.
I’m a Clinical Social Worker with more than 32 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, school stress, and major life transitions. I also specialize in crisis intervention, parenting support, digital wellness, and social media-related concerns. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can begin.
Do you feel like your life lacks joy, meaning and connection? Do you feel the overwhelming weight of your responsibilities? Are you tired of "just getting by"? Are you ready to have more positive emotional connections to your experiences? It's time to raise the bar of living from "surviving" to "enjoying"! Together we will go on a journey to explore a deeper way of living that allows you to feel joy in a world full of stress. I will teach you how to strongly connect to your life (self, relationships, job, hobbies, etc.) in a fulfilling way. I will help you build practical skills to feel more organized, focused, and in control of your daily life by improving efficiency, managing time and tasks, and reducing the overwhelm that often interferes with well-being.
Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, mood swings, trauma and anxiety attacks. When you approach the therapeutic process with curiosity, you can grow, heal, and thrive.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.
I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.
As a clinical psychologist, I assist patients in reshaping negative thought and behavior patterns in a judgement free setting.
Hi, I'm Jean-Jeffrey Marcellus, DNP, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 19 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and substance use disorders.
I specialize in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, kratom, and prescription medication dependence. My approach is collaborative and personalized, focusing on creating treatment plans that support each individual's goals, recovery, and overall well-being.
I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, providing a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I am committed to delivering culturally responsive care and making high-quality mental health services accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Reaching out is hard, especially if you've already tried therapy before and it didn't quite get you where you needed to go. I want you to know that doesn't mean something's wrong with you, it usually just means the approach wasn't the right fit. I've spent over a decade working with people carrying trauma and addiction, adults and teens both, and what I care about most is helping you feel truly understood, maybe for the first time, before we even get to the work of healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in East Meadow
Searching for therapists in East Meadow starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and therapy approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may look like.
East Meadow is a smaller Long Island community, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still letting you see a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in East Meadow can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
