They enjoy more fulfilling relationships with their children, spouses, siblings, partners, and friends.

"It was an amazing feeling ..."

Yes, therapy was the best thing I ever did for myself. It was an amazing feeling to know that someone would take the time to listen to me and not judge me on my thoughts and feelings. I always felt I was unimportant and my feelings were disregarded, especially as a child. Keeping everything inside made it all seem so big and scary.

Once I started speaking things out, I began to be free of things like depression and fear. My feelings were validated. I have gained self-esteem that I never had and self-confidence to do things I couldn’t ever imagine doing. I believe that everyone has hurts inside that they bury, but they don’t go away. In therapy, you can start the process of being healed and freed from them.

And we want you to experience these benefits as well, because ...

There’s no need to continue suffering today and just as importantly, risk more serious future physical and emotional conditions that result from prolonged and untreated periods of stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Yet, even though we've personally witnessed the tremendous and sustainable gains our clients have achieved over the years, we understand that it's often hard to arrive at a decision to seek counseling, for many reasons.

However, we also recognize that most men and women find it easier to make difficult decisions like this when they're armed with accurate information from a trusted source, like Nassau Guidance and Counseling Center. Since 1960, Long Islanders have relied on our experts to help them reach their highest potential: emotionally, mentally, interpersonally, occupationally, spiritually, and socially. We hope you will as well.

And you’ll never have to worry unnecessarily over stressful administrative details, because we’ll guide you through the entire process, and even make sure that you receive the maximum benefits allowed by your insurance carrier.

So please take the first step towards a better tomorrow and call us today at: 516-221-9494.

Here’s what you can expect when you call:

  • A client care consultant will conduct an inquiry regarding your therapeutic needs, location, and availability. He or she will listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have.
  • Based on your answers during this call, a Long Island psychotherapist, who will be a good match for your needs, will be assigned to treat you. Soon after, you’ll talk directly with your therapist who will schedule your first appointment – usually in less than a week - and answer any lingering questions you may have.
  • You’ll also enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that our staff of professionals are not only world-class psychotherapists, but men and women who are committed to their own personal growth and happiness, as well as their clients.

Your therapist will combine time-tested traditional psychological practices with innovative, state-of-the-art technologies and techniques to ensure that your treatment is effective, sustainable, and safe.

More Client Testimonials

"My therapist truly cares for the well-being of her clients ... My therapist is a uniquely gifted counselor, attuned and present for each session; always attentive, providing a safe, warm, and nurturing environment. [One of my therapist's gifts] is the ability to allow a person to be heard, while providing gentle and illuminating guidance. My therapist employs a vast knowledge of many different techniques, and blends them beautifully to assist a client to learn, embrace, and grow in the moment. It has been over 18 months since I have seen my therapist on a regular basis, and the many insights shared during our work together are still so clear to me. I often reflect on how I respond to many of life’s challenges today versus how I would have reacted in years past I hear my therapist's words at crucial times and feel empowered to make the choice that is best for me. Some of the many benefits I have realized as a direct result of my work with a therapist include: - Having the confidence to express my feelings and needs at the appropriate time, in a calm, loving, and respectful way, rather than suppressing them until an outburst filled with anger and resentment would erupt. - Understanding when I felt hurt that the current event was [frequently] a “trigger” for some past wounds that were never properly felt and healed. Enjoying healthier, better-grounded relationships with family members and friends. - Appreciating my feelings for what they are, rather than trying to rationalize and file them away. - Respecting myself and knowing what behaviors I would accept from others and what behaviors I would not. - Effectively communicating and setting healthy boundaries. My therapist truly cares for the well-being of her clients. If you are considering counseling and are serious about changing your life for the better, you owe it to yourself to [contact Nassau Guidance and Counseling."
