Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Long Island City, NY covered by Aetna

What I want clients to know about me is that I am not the kind of therapist who will just sit back, nod, and ask, “How does that make you feel?” I am warm, honest, direct, and very involved in the work we do together.

My strongest area of work is relationship and family dynamics. I help individuals, couples, and families understand the patterns that create conflict, distance, resentment, poor communication, and emotional disconnection. Many of my clients come to me feeling unheard, disrespected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward in an important relationship.

I also work with people who grew up in difficult or dysfunctional family environments and are now recognizing how those experiences may still be affecting their boundaries, relationships, parenting, self-worth, and emotional responses. I help clients understand not only what is happening, but how the pattern developed and what they can begin doing differently.

I believe insight is important, but insight alone is not enough. I want therapy to help you connect the dots and develop practical ways to communicate, set boundaries, manage conflict, and respond differently. I will support you, but I will also challenge you when I believe you are minimizing your needs, repeating unhealthy patterns, or avoiding something important.

I am not here to judge you, label the people in your life, or tell you what decisions to make. My role is to help you see things more clearly, understand what is within your control, and feel more confident in how you choose to move forward.

In addition to relationship and family concerns, I also work with anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and the impact these challenges can have on everyday functioning and relationships.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults, couples, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve trained across schools, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I bring a grounded, real-world perspective into the therapy space.

Maybe the same arguments keep happening at home, or you and your partner feel distant and struggle to reconnect. Maybe you’re navigating a new role as a husband, wife, or parent, and adjusting feels harder than you expected. Maybe life after a new baby feels overwhelming, or stress has been building quietly until everything feels heavy. Whatever brought you here, we can start with where you are and work together toward the changes you want to make.

I’m Roxanne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have experience helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, reconnect emotionally, and work through challenges with physical and emotional intimacy. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you disconnected and work toward a more fulfilling relationship.

Much of my work also centers on family relationships, parenting, and the many roles women are asked to carry. I welcome clients navigating grief, painful past experiences, questions of identity, and the push and pull of cultural expectations. I hold master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, and my experience spans private practice, schools, homes, and community settings.

With extensive experience in trauma-informed practice, mental health counseling, and strengths-based intervention, I empower clients to navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful, sustainable change.

Grounded in a client-centered approach, I integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and solution-focused techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various settings, including clinical, community, and educational settings, helping diverse populations build resilience, enhance their well-being, and improve overall functioning. I am passionate about advocating for accessible mental health care, promoting emotional wellness, and guiding clients toward greater self-awareness and growth.

Do you understand your experiences intellectually, but still find yourself reacting in ways you don’t understand? You may know where your patterns come from, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns.

I work with adults who are ready to understand not only why they feel the way they do, but also to create meaningful change in how they experience themselves, their relationships, and their lives.

My work is especially focused on trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-worth, and major life transitions. I bring a warm, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to therapy. I believe you should feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to “just move on.”

Together, we look at the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships. My goal is not simply to help you cope with symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of who you are.
