Scarsdale Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Lisa Abrotsky

MIJIN KIM

I specialize in various types of trauma, mood dysregulations (e.g., anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria), emotional-behavioral issues (e.g., social maladjustment, substance abuse, eating disorder & other addictive issues), relationship & family issues, sexuality & gender issues, body image issues, and career and other life issues. I love working with clients seeking to overcome their psychological blockages , increase clarity in conflicting situations, or find a meaningful direction in life

Are you struggling to unpack and organize the thoughts and emotions you are struggling to experience on a day-to-day basis? I've worked with countless clients who have found relief through the therapeutic work we've done together. If you are nervous about seeking help, we can work together to make it a comfortable, casual, and straight-forward process. I applaud you for seeking out help and I hope you take the next step: make an appointment to get the help you or your family deserves!

Jodie Deignan

Are you or your child currently seeing a therapist you love, but you’ve decided it’s time to think about adding psychiatric medication? Perhaps you’ve been thinking about medication, but you’re worried about having to try several medications before finding one that works? There is no shame in using medication, and I want to help you find the medication that works for you most safely with minimal side effects.

Monique-Jessica Martinez

My clients are of diverse backgrounds/ages who seek to overcome a variety of needs. Clients seeking family support, support in grief, overcoming stress, improving daily living, developing deeper and meaningful relationships, finding genuineness and confidence in their identity or sexual orientations, and understanding child behaviors are some of the journeys I support my clients through. I listen, empathize and reframe from judgement to provide a safe counseling environment for all my clients.

Dodrie Escoffery

What brings you here today? Is it stress, depression or anxiety in general? Therapy involves taking into consideration all of the influences that may have affected your life. Let's talk and work together to design your individualized plan that will best meet your specific concerns. We can build strategies together that utilize techniques such as mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for the purpose of reaching your goals.

In order to serve clients with a broad range of diagnoses, I provide therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual case. Whether you are a couple looking to improve your relationship, or an individual hoping to gain insight and coping skills, your goals can be addressed.

Lisa Abrotsky

As a couple’s therapist Lisa Abrotsky integrates and explores past issues from different angles, helping couples gain insight into adjustments they may need to make in the relationship. She has worked in behavioral health, helping couples and families for the past decade. She has experience working with various populations and socioeconomic statuses in community-based behavioral health care/dependence treatment organizations.

Christopher Smith

At this stage of my vocational life, I am primarily focused on supervision of others who are in my practice developing in their ability to integrate spirituality into the psychotherapeutic process, although I do see a limited number of clients, especially by distance technology. Most of the clients I see directly are either members of the clergy & their families (dealing with issues related to those stressors) or members of the military & their families (especially around reintegration issues).

Carissa Boncardo

Our general philosophy at Creative Counseling is that we all have the power to heal ourselves. Our job is to give you the tools to do so. We do this by using mindfulness and creativity in our practice. In our sessions, we will work on staying focused on the now. While there are times we will absolutely explore and process the past, we focus on the strengths and difficulties that drove you to seek counseling. In this approach, we focus on building strengths and giving you skills to take with you.

stephanie freitas

Simple Therapy is inclusive and our doors are open to everyone. We primarily serve teens, young adults, adults and families and can see children on a case by case basis. Our clients are typically facing concerns regarding anxiety, life transitions, collegiate mental health, multicultural concerns and self exploration.

Lauren Trebino

Typically, my clients are young adults who may be experiencing some life transitions, are seeking to improve their relationships or may experience anxiety. I work with individuals and families so that they feel empowered in their relationships and have adequate skills and tools to navigate life's struggles.

Amanda O'Shea

My goal is to assist my clients in learning healthy coping skills to manage their symptoms but to also explore the root cause of them in an effort to reduce them. We’ll take a look at how unresolved issues of our past can leak into our present functioning and work together to identify patterns of behavior and make effective change.

Moya Sinclair

In our counseling sessions together, I will work to give you the tools needed to meet your own goals – for example, setting appropriate boundaries and maintaining mutually-beneficial relationships.

Sherene Henry

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you are in life, and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking help.

Michael Gardner

If things do not seem to be right for you or someone you know, therapy is the first step to acknowledging that. Therapy is like any other relationship; sometimes things just fit well. Other times, you have to work to keep things going. I promise every client that they will have an ear that will listen and brain to work things out with.

Maria Liguori

I work well with young men/women ages 18-40, college students, and young professionals. My clients are those who are experiencing anxiety and stress and struggle with things like self-criticism, highly sensitive processing, and people-pleasing/high achieving behaviors. My clients benefit from learning self-care, self-compassion, mindfulness, and prioritizing needs.
