As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege (LMHC-D) and six years of experience, I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, sports and performance, personal growth, self-esteem, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and substance misuse. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating mental health concerns and the challenges that come with this season of life. No matter your struggles, I believe in creating a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, one grounded in the recognition that every person carries their own unique strengths and capacity for growth. That belief shapes how I show up for you: as a compassionate, empowering, and supportive partner. Together, we'll build confidence and resilience, achieve meaningful goals, and develop the skills you need to cultivate greater well-being and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. My approach is patient-centered, collaborative, and authentically tailored to you. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and strength-based therapy to create a space where you can explore challenges, recognize your inherent strengths, enhance self-awareness, and build the resilience needed for meaningful, lasting change. Every person I work with brings their own unique needs, experiences, and goals — and the direction of our work reflects that. Whether you're working toward personal, academic, professional, or performance goals, I tailor my style accordingly, in a safe and empowering environment grounded in a genuine belief in your ability to grow. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience in therapy during high school, when I had an incredible therapist who helped me grow, develop greater self-awareness, and navigate challenges. The impact of that work rippled across many areas of my life. Through those personal experiences, and through watching the effect mental health had on friends and family members, I came to understand how truly transformative therapy can be. That understanding deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that empowers individuals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Now, I bring authenticity, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for growth to every session. When I'm not in session, I enjoy reading, baking, crafting, and cooking. I also love going to concerts and sporting events, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and my niece and nephew.

Marriage & Family Therapist
Manhasset, NY

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults navigating relationship and family conflict, emotional regulation, ADHD, life transitions, and the weight of stress, OCD, anxiety, and depression. Meaningful change, I believe, begins with understanding ourselves and our relationships. That belief shapes everything about how I work with you — as an empathetic supporter who is committed to empowering your healing. Together, we'll work toward greater clarity, stronger connections, and the tools you need to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Integrity, alongside a systemic and relational lens, are the core of how I practice. I'm passionate about creating a safe, open environment, one where healing, growth, and the rediscovery of self are not only possible but celebrated. Every person who chooses this path deserves to have their courage honored, and that's something I carry into every session. To support your healing and growth, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play therapy, relational life therapy, and structural family therapy. My style is compassionate and collaborative, and tailored to each individual, couple, and family. Whether the work is about gaining insight into relational patterns, developing effective coping strategies, or building on your existing strengths, the goal is always to help you feel empowered to achieve meaningful change. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human relationships and the ways people heal through connection. Witnessing the resilience of people navigating difficult life transitions deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care, the kind that recognizes the unique challenges each person faces. Authenticity matters to me, and so does meeting you where you are. I bring humor when it's appropriate and a down-to-earth approach to each session, so you can feel comfortable as we work together toward your goals. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy getting lost in a good book, taking time for self-care, trying new coffee shops and crafts, spending time with loved ones, and finding opportunities for relaxation and reflection.

As you grow, you strive for more out of life, yet may be unsure how to get to where you may wish to be. I will support you on your journey as we explore together your needs, long-term and short-term perceived goals, and best practices for fulfilling them. I use the therapeutic process to empower my clients so that you come to realize and acknowledge the wealth of resources you have both within and without, building on strengths and gaining confidence to accept the past and create your personal story. I provide individual and group therapy to children, teens, adults, and seniors, with extensive experience working with issues related to anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, midlife, parenting, school, caregiver stress, creatively aging, and the second half of life. According to Carl Jung, individuation is the process of self-realization through discovering meaning and purpose in one's life. I provide a safe space for exploration and honoring all aspects of the self-the good, the challenging, that which may be difficult to look at, and everything in between. I use methods such as verbal and non-verbal techniques, art therapy, dreamwork, and imagery as entryways to viewing the unconscious and symbolic content and how these present themselves in conscious life. I am open to the needs of each individual client and invite you to lead me as your guide on your path of growth and evolvement. I hold a Master's degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Long Island University and certificates in Jungian oriented psychotherapy from the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco, which informs my integrative approach to therapy and supports my commitment to creative and holistic healing.

Are you looking for a supportive, safe space to process and share your concerns related to you or your child? Have you or your child tried to push through depression, codependency, low self-esteem, anxiety, or weak interpersonal relationships for a long time? Surrender your old story and prepare to embrace a new one. I know the feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and being misunderstood and I know the value of having had a support system of those who believe in me when life gets hard. Fortunately, there is a way to change patterns by learning to think and feel differently. Through multiple techniques, I aspire to help change the way you may think and feel about yourself and the world, by identifying unhealthy thinking and helping you challenge them. Together we will work on shifting your mindset and making progress towards your personalized goals. MY BACKGROUND In addition to receiving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at CUNY Queens College and Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at LIU Post, I am a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). I am fluent in Spanish and English. I am excited to use my knowledge and skills to help children, teens, and adults who might be more comfortable with therapy in Spanish, through individual/group settings. While earning my Master’s degree, my interest in mental health and the counseling field grew. I couldn’t wait till the day that I would finally be able to do what I’ve wanted to do since I was a child. Upon graduating, I was an intern for a pediatric clinical psychologist. Being able to see the work and gaining some hands-on experience opened new doors for me and showed me an additional side of helping people. From there, I moved on to a clinic that specializes in treating those who suffer from addiction/substance use disorder which gave me the opportunity to use my counseling skills differently. I was able to meet each person as soon as they began their recovery journey, as I conducted their initial assessments and guided them in their recovery journey by helping them meet their individualized goals through individual and group sessions. The experience of being in the counseling field has been one of a kind, especially as a health care worker through the COVID-19 pandemic. All things are possible due to my strong commitment and interest in helping the community. MY APPROACH My goal is to empower my clients, as I wholeheartedly believe in the ability to change while learning to be gentle with oneself. Please allow me the opportunity to join you and your family on this journey to overcome obstacles and embrace accomplishments. An inner sense of peace may feel far from reach for you or your child, but I promise it’s available to your family. Are you ready? You’ve made it this far, now just reach out! If you would like to contact me or make an appointment, please email me at stephanie@trianglecognitivetherapy.com or call me at 516-208-3792 ext 29.
