Therapists in Lake Grove, NY
Going to the mall can be a fun and pleasant experience. When you’re going to an unfamiliar store to get something that’s hard to find, it can be tiring and stressful. You walk around in circles for hours, trying to find that special item that will meet your need, getting more stressed and exhausted with every step.
Talk to a counselor when your life seems like an impossible quest for what you need.
Lake Grove’s Smith Haven Mall is a wonderful place to explore and shop. When you can’t find any pleasure in the search, it may be time to talk to a therapist in the Lake Grove area for help.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am Janet Wise-Thomas, a Licensed NYS Clinical Social Worker who has been working for over 30 years with individuals with chronic illnesses and who have suffered many forms of psychological and physical trauma. My work with young adults to seniors who struggled with variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, community violence and gender identity. I am sensitive and respectful for multi/cross-cultural factors, and trained others on cultural competency. In the end, it is about building therapeutic relationship with you that is compassionate, warmth and in-tune with your needs. My therapeutic approach draws from many disciplines, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am a strong believer in collaborating with my clients to help them create and accomplish their goals. Whether it is dealing with symptoms of depression or anxiety, or getting back to normalcy after experiencing trauma and/or going through a life crisis. Over the years, I have been privileged to work with many individuals and families looking to increase their overall stability and find joy and purpose in their lives. I do not have a “one size fits all” approach. Each individual or family constellation has specific needs, and my coaching and counseling reflects the importance of tuning into their concerns. Let’s talk about how I can help you in your journey to a better and healthier you! In addition, I have undergone intensive training in Pastoral Counseling through Fordham University’s School of Religion and Religious Studies. My training and experiences included offering grief and crisis counseling in hospital settings such as the Emergency Room and Intensive Care Unit. In the community, I provided pastoral care counseling to members at The Riverside Church in the City of New York. In these unprecedented times of disproportionate loss and grief, I have the skill set of empathy and compassion to help you as you grieve the loss of love ones, especially when you were not able to say goodbye. I believe that you work with a person in mind, body and spirit. Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a licensed fitness instructor who teaches yoga, Enerchi (a form of Tai Chi) and cardio-fitness (including Cardio Drumming) to persons of all ages. You are unique and you were created to do good things in this world for yourself and others. You are taking the steps to develop your potential! I welcome the opportunity to work with you and it is an honor to be your guide through your healing process.

Hi, my name is Marlo (she/her). I'm a licensed social worker in New York. My experience thus far has allowed me to support people's pursuit of personally meaningful goals while they faced multiple life changes/circumstances, including but not limited to: stress, loss and grief, burnout, mental health issues and co-occurring conditions, social inequities and uncertainties, stigma, complex interpersonal challenges, and a multitude of nuances in between. In partnering with people on their journey in therapy, I often incorporate approaches drawn from person-centered, trauma-responsive practices; cultural humility; systems theory; and holistic/humanistic principles. My lens for collaboration is ever-evolving and is driven by a strong belief that everyone has the capacity for resilience and often have within them the strengths that can be harnessed and manifested to move the needle of change toward fulfillment. My invitation to people who brave the therapeutic space with me is a shared mission of co-creating pathways to their healing and growth. Thank you for reading this! I hope you find the connection and support that you are seeking. And if at this time you decide that you'd like to partner with me on your therapeutic journey, I very much look forward to collaborating with you.
