Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Endicott, NY covered by Cigna

I'm warm and open-minded in my therapeutic approach, and I'm passionate about helping others work through challenges to be the best person they can be for themselves and others in their life. I look forward to speaking with you and seeing how I can help!

I'm a RegisteredPlay Therapist & mom of 3 boys and 3 step-sons! We all need a little help sometimes and that's ok. After SU I continued my therapy education through intense trainings in Multicultural Systemic Therapy (Dr. Ken Hardy, LMFT), Suicide Safer Care (NYSOMH), and Play Therapy. I am Certified in AutPlay Therapy, a neurodiversity affirming family-based play therapy. I have worked in school-based play therapy for several years. I love working with children and their families to create loving, lasting connections.

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I have been a Licensed Social Worker for 17 years and believe that therapy is a wonderful tool for growth and change. My approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and help you live your best life!

I believe that most people already have a deep understanding of themselves and what they need, it can just be difficult to access that understanding when we’re overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve us.

As a systems therapist, I look beyond the individual to understand the relationships, experiences, and environments that shape how we think, feel, and respond. I’m particularly interested in helping people understand interpersonal conflict and the patterns that develop between us, whether with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

Hi! I believe so much in the power of genuine connection, and strive to create that during our work together. As a therapist, my approach is to create a comfortable, safe, and judgmental free environment for you to explore your experiences.

I am a licensed clinical professional in the city of New York with over 30 years of experience. I am a Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care industry. Skilled in Psychoanalysis/Psychotherapy, with Individuals, Couples, Adults, Families and Children. I also am equipped to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psycho-Oncology, Group Therapy, Family Therapy, Clinical Supervision, and Dual Diagnosis.

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

I work with people facing anxiety and depression at some of life’s most demanding passages. New and expecting mothers figuring out who they are now that everything has changed. People sitting with a diagnosis that has upended their lives. Caregivers who have quietly lost themselves in someone else’s needs. People grieving. Adults deciding what comes next. Anyone in the middle of something hard that doesn’t have an easy name.

Before private practice, I worked at Mount Sinai Hospital supporting transplant, ICU, and acute rehabilitation patients and families. Lives changed overnight, and I learned to stay steady with fear, uncertainty, and loss. I received my MSW from NYU, hold a Designation in Palliative Care from the Center to Advance Palliative Care, and am completing the perinatal mental health certificate course through Postpartum Support International.

I am straightforward and curious, and I pay attention to both what’s said and what isn’t. I am also a mother, a daughter, a wife, and someone who has sat with grief and change in my own life. I see adults by telehealth anywhere in New York State.

My background includes almost 15 years in the financial and corporate world before I shifted gears to become a therapist. I have worked in corporate, government, and hospital settings. Key areas I support clients include managing difficult thought patterns and ways to have more direct and confident communication.

I also have expertise in the following areas:

--Anxiety

--Depression

--Workplace challenges/dynamics

--Grief

--Relationship challenges

--Supporting First Responders

--Facilitating workshops + webinars

--Facilitating onsite critical incidents + debriefings

--Expertise working in Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed by emotions, experience anxiety, struggle with self-worth, or want to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them. For parents, therapy can provide space to better understand your own emotions and responses, explore how they influence the way you respond to your children, and strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide telehealth therapy throughout New York.
