Hi there and welcome!
My priority is supporting clients on their journeys towards personal healing & growth.
In 2010, I received my MSW/LMSW. While doing outpatient clinical work at the NYC non-profit agency JBFCS, I became an LCSW. In 2016, I began to establish my private psychotherapy practice, focusing on young and professional adults presenting with a broad variety of life challenges.
Do you worry about what tomorrow holds? Overthinking about events from the past? If you want to learn to experience the present moment, you have come to the right page. My name is Danielle and I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD. In addition to those specialties, I support clients through a wide range of challenges including stress management, life-transitions, and self-esteem issues. I strive to create a relaxed, authentic, non-judgmental therapy environment; So, don’t be surprised if you are welcomed by a woman in jeans and sneakers. I believe the goal in therapy is for each individual to reach their highest potential.
My name is Sara and I graduated from Adelphi in 2017 with my MSW. Shortly after I obtained my license and began to work in Queens in a hospital doing inpatient psychiatric social work. I have worked with all populations on each of our specialty units, including adolescents, young and older adults, and aging. I spent most of my time working with individuals aged 18-62 presenting with a multitude of acute crises. I range from working with individuals experience first-break symptoms, all through chronic and treatment resistant symptoms. I have also held supervisory and administrative roles, in which I provided direct supervision and guidance for other healthcare professionals, primarily social workers. I also specialize in family dynamics and counseling, as well as mediation.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. My name is Courtney, and I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. I view the therapy relationship as a collaboration, with my primary role as a guide in creating a safe container for healing, achieving balance & empowerment, and developing insight & conscious awareness for a more positive and fulfilling life. My style is that of curiosity, non-judgment, and compassion for your experience, while together we cocreate a therapeutic path forward to heal old wounds and evolve into new healthy behaviors and coping abilities.
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with extensive training in Trauma-Focused therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Creative Arts Therapy, Somatic Therapies, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe understanding the brain as it relates to both trauma and meditation is an empowering first step on the healing journey.
I follow a person-centered, eclectic and integrative approach to treatment, grounded in Energy Psychology, evidence-based treatments, trauma-focused interventions, meditation, spirituality and creative wellness. I am passionate about this work, and I welcome the opportunity to connect with you to determine if we would be a good fit.
I am a clinician with several years of experience in addiction, depression, grief, bereavement, ACOA issues. My approach to treatment is direct but gentle encouragement to help a client deal with their feelings and make changes that are beneficial for them. My dynamic is serious but also humorous. I truly believe that in some cases laughter is the best medicine. I accept clients ages 25+.
Hello,
It's a pleasure to meet you.
As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in West Islip, NY
Searching for therapists in West Islip starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller Long Island community like West Islip, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a New York-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in West Islip can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
