Mamaroneck, Mamaroneck, NY 10543, USA
I have the privilege of working with adults individually in a sacred way; honestly and directly dealing with experiences, thoughts, physical sensations, and emotions. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. During the Covid pandemic, I am working with all clients using tele-health. I have had years of training in Mindfulness, Acceptance & Compassion Based Therapies (aka 3rd Wave Therapy)
Mindfulness develops the attention and awareness needed to stop rumination
Acceptance of oneself includes non-avoidance of difficult experiences and develops psychological flexibility
Compassion to alleviate one’s pain can be learned, by activating the evolutionary caring system we develop a sense of safeness and connection leading to better emotional regulation and perspective taking.
I learned about CFT in 2018, concepts and practices I share with clients include discussing “tricky brains”, 3 flows of compassion, 3 system model of emotion, soothing rhythm breathing, and compassionate self/other guided imagery.
