Counseling in Long Island
Garden City Therapy PLLC
We are a team of licensed therapists, mental health counselors and interning clinicians based in Garden City, NY providing therapy to adults. Our practice is informed by over 15 years of experience and we specialize in Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Stress and Adjustment to Life Changes, Grief, PTSD, Relational Issues and the development of coping skills. Our rate per session is $80. We also accept most BCBS, Cigna, UHC, Oxford, UMR, Healthfirst and Fidelis insurances and work out of network with NYSHIP. Sessions are confidential within the limits of HIPAA and we will inform you of our practice policies so that you feel as comfortable as possible starting out.
We are here to work with you within a confidential and supportive therapeutic relationship. Together we can examine issues, understand your perspectives, identify patterns and themes in your life, and learn the way you cope and interact in order to help you move towards desired outcomes. Change can be worked on in a way that fits with your sense of identity and personality traits, which can help in making those changes last.
Our philosophy follows a relational style with a psychodynamic orientation and also incorporates cognitive behavioral elements. In other words, we place tremendous importance on the therapeutic relationship and trust, how one relates to themselves and others, and the development of insight and deeper understanding. This also means we will brainstorm, look at patterns with you and give direct advice where needed if we think you may benefit from it.
A personal message from the Executive Director:
Being a therapist requires that special quality that you cannot teach, and not all professionals have that alongside their education and experience. Even when I was an intern starting out my career, clients, clinicians and others always told me 'you just have that therapist gift that is hard to find'. I make certain that my team of therapists are personally engaging, insightful, and work with heart and soul.
I ask myself each time I invite a clinician into this practice 'Would I feel engaged as a client? Might I want to see this person or could I see clients connecting with them well? What unique quality do they offer? What presenting issues might they specialize in?' In my opinion, they have that special characteristic and they also work ongoing week by week in clinical supervision which gives me a better sense of who they are over time and more assurance to provide the best therapy.
I am able to develop a wonderful group of therapists and they help me continue to grow and see things from other perspectives as well, adding to our overall ability to provide good care. Our therapists are talented as well as personable. They are here to help and look forwards to getting to know you.
