Therapists in West Hampton Dunes, NY

Welcome to Better Help! I commend you for taking this challenging step to create the change you want. My name is Wale Adegbenle, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Health and Substance Abuse, from Stony Brook University School of Social Welfare in 2003. I am also a Certified Case Manager trained as a geriatric case manager. I have worked with many individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues, such as depression/anxiety, stress, trauma/abuse, family problems, addictions of all kinds, relationships/parenting, and many more in different settings. In a nutshell, I'm a Christian husband and father of 3 children who love to serve and provide mental health services. My education and career have always focused on my passion for working with individuals and their families. My counseling style is relationship-centered, compassionate, focused, and validating. I pride myself on being a patient mental health provider and a good listener who will meet you where you are and help you to set realistic and actionable goals for treatment. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based counseling techniques. I am here to support and help you navigate through what you've indicated is difficult for you right now. I aim to offer you a safe space to be open without fear of judgment while providing you with the guidance, support, and counseling you seek. I take my job seriously and honor the time you choose to share with me. I look forward to connecting with you soon and navigating through this journey of support together.

I am a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist.. Psychology Today named me as of their best and Who's Who of Professional Women also selected me to then represent the field of Mental Health. I have great experience with affective difficulties [anxiety and depression] as well as mitigating relationship difficulties, whether personal or professional. Parents find great relief in my explanations and tactics of behavioral problems in their children, which, of course, affect the family unit. Early childhood trauma, a strong indication of current relationship difficulties, is also a specialty . Please contact me if you want a warm, non judgmental listener to help you with your concerns.

Therapy is essential because it provides the safest space for us to be our most authentic self. Therapy allows us to speak our unapologetic truth without fear of judgement by family and friends. Think about this.. Most people have had experiences/feelings that are connected to shame and guilt? Do we run to family and friends to share these experiences/feelings? Those of us that answer no should understand how these repressed thoughts/feelings manifest in our lives and this is where therapy comes in! Many people misunderstand the importance of having a Therapist. A lot of people feel like they can deal with life's challenge's on their own. While self determination is great it does not allow for authentic revelations. Self determination in this sense is equivalent to cross examining yourself on the witness stand. Think about it...are we truly capable of asking ourselves the tough questions? Do we have the insight to go deep and connect past experiences to current events? Can we say to ourselves hmmm... I just connected my past trauma to the manifestation of some of my problematic behavior? If you have that level of insight then that is great however if you are among the many that cannot then please allow yourself the opportunity to benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you discover some revelations that may change your life! Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness I will help you connect the dots. I will help you understand your emotional cycle (experiences, feelings, behaviors and consequences. I will help you identify your triggers and determine what peace of mind looks like for you. Using S.M.A.R.T goals will help us set goals that can be tracked and measured so you can see your success in real time. Your success is my success! In closing.. As we get older the expectation is that we can "just deal with it" but the reality is this...Dealing with certain feelings and emotions is not that easy to do alone. Choosing to have a Therapist in your life is the best way to "just deal with it" So let's get started! Hope to hear from you soon! Chamika Barrant
