The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.

Clinical Psychologist Specializing in the Treatment of Adolescents & Young Adults
The young adult years are incredibly complex with many developmental challenges and unique academic and social pressures. Mental health issues are often pronounced during this unique period of change and transition with symptoms often peaking between the ages of 16-22. Unfortunately, high school and college settings lack the infrastructure needed to provide adequate support to struggling students. Premier Psychology of Long Island was formed to bridge this gap and provide psychotherapy services that are effective, individualized and specific to this population.
What To Expect At Your Sessions
Our first session will consist of an intake and evaluation. The information gathered during this initial session will assist in establishing treatment goals from the start. Our approach is warm and empathic as well as focused and goal-oriented. In a typical psychotherapy session, clients are assisted in identifying unproductive patterns of thinking or reacting that may underlie or perpetuate their current difficulties. Clients develop skills to modify habits and create new methods of coping to face life's challenges with more ease and success. Psychotherapy during the adolescent and college years provides a foundation for lifelong resilience and well being.
