Hello , I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working with teens and adults. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. My priority is to create a therapeutic relationship in a safe, judgement free space.
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.
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.
Dr. Kassoff is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Forensic Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist with over 44 years experience delivering therapeutic services. He maintains an active clinical treatment practice delivering caring psychotherapy to Adults, Adolescents & older Children. The majority of the practice is devoted to individuals with emotional and behavioral needs. Anxiety & depression are the most common issues that I treat in my practice. ADHD & ADD issues are also a special area of interest for me. Be sure to telephone about an appointment. Same week availability is frequent.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Merrick
Searching for therapists in Merrick starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show what to expect in sessions, including their communication style and areas of focus.
Merrick is a smaller Long Island community, so local in-person availability may be more limited than in larger parts of Nassau County or New York City. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes their approach. These details can help you decide which therapists on Long Island may be a practical fit for your schedule and preferences.
Therapy in Merrick can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare therapists in Merrick, review bios, and find someone who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
