Imagine how much happier your life would be today if a highly skilled, objective, and compassionate psychotherapist had counseled you a year ago ...

It may be time for a change.

• Perhaps you're stuck in a dead relationship.
• Or you feel like your life has been hijacked by anxiety.
• You may avoid trips to the grocery store, pass up golden opportunities to ask your boss for a much-deserved raise, or fail to ask your spouse to stop annoying or unhealthy behaviors.
• Maybe you're still volunteering your services when you're already stretched too thin and don’t have the time or energy to give anything.
• Or, you hear the word “Yes” coming out of your mouth, when your brain is shouting “No!”
• You might also be struggling with addictions to food, drugs, alcohol, or gambling.
• Perhaps you feel like your children are spiraling out of control and you don’t know how to help them.
• And while you may genuinely believe that people can accomplish anything in life, you’re convinced that you’re the exception to this rule.
• Maybe your self-esteem and confidence are gone because in spite of your very best intentions and hard work, you’ve experienced only a few short-lived symptom-free periods before the same crippling behaviors emerged again.
• And you may have considered reaching out to others for answers, but you’re not sure who to trust. You understand that opening up to co-workers is risky and well-meaning friends simply don’t have the expertise you need.
• Perhaps you’ve even tried talking with family members and found that they were too emotionally involved, which prevented them from hearing you clearly - or they may even have brought their own agendas to the situation.

So, sometimes you just want to give up, and give in. If so, you’re not alone.

It’s time to stop feeling guilty, ashamed, and/or resigned, and get the help you deserve. Your brighter, more hopeful tomorrow awaits you, and begins with one small step today

Your psychotherapist will help you identify any areas of your life that may need adjustment and assist with developing a plan for improving them. He or she will also provide you with the tools, structure and personal support you need and guide you through every step of the process. Your psychotherapist will also help you identify limiting beliefs and behaviors and help you rediscover and use your strengths, talents and assets, so you can achieve your loftiest dreams.

And while we understand that arriving at a decision to seek psychotherapy is a tough one, we sincerely hope you'll choose to move forward.

We’ve Personally Witnessed The Tremendous And Sustainable Gains Our Clients Have Achieved

For example...

• Profoundly altered clarity - one that allows them to see new possibilities and remember that they can make honest choices without fear.
• The end of debilitating behaviors and patterns perpetuated from one generation to another. Many of our clients tell us that in addition to the benefits they’ve personally derived from therapy, they also receive tremendous pleasure knowing that they’ve ended unhealthy familial behaviors that would have plagued their children and grandchildren.
• An increased comfort level in openly expressing their emotions, even when others are uncomfortable with those feelings.
• Freedom from the unjustified guilt and shame they experienced prior to treatment. During psychotherapy, our well trained, empathetic, and non-judgmental Long Island psychotherapists encourage our clients to express themselves openly and shed needless – and unproductive - self-reproach. Nassau Guidance and Counseling Center's (NGCC) psychotherapists – all of whom have over 10 years of post-license experience - have also furnished many people with the tools they needed to avoid future problems by helping them deal with a host of issues in healthier ways. Additionally, we’ve helped many of our clients become skilled at working through differences in areas like culture, religion, work ethic, parenting styles, and family values.

However, we also know that even the most difficult decisions are made easier when we’re armed with accurate information from a trusted source, so please don’t wait another minute to get the help you need.

"I have started to let go of the blockages ..."

My therapy begins the healing process. I feel therapy, for me, is truly a blessing. When I began therapy, I sought help from personal problems I was having a difficult time sorting out. I had hoped I would find a solution to my problems. I found so much more. I found an open-hearted person to confide in and a non-judgmental response to the most difficult issues at hand.
My heart and soul felt freedom at last. I felt that I was not alone!
My therapist has helped me see the hidden inner strength and courage I had all along but needed guidance in finding it! I am no longer afraid to share my emotions, light or dark with another person.
therapy was a wonderful beginning! I feel that I have been able to delve deep into my basic core issues. I have grown emotionally and spiritually as a woman. I have started to let go of blockages that I saw as obstacles and release deep-rooted fears that have held me back for a very long time.
I feel very fortunate to have found a warm, understanding and compassionate therapist. I can see the distance I have traveled as a patient seeking help. I encourage others to follow me. therapy is not to be feared, but revered. It has given me the strength to pursue my dreams and manifest them as a reality!

Nassau Guidance and Counseling Centers’ Approach to Psychotherapy

The word “psychotherapy” is a broad term for many psychotherapeutic approaches of all kinds and is often used interchangeably with other words such as, “therapy” or “counseling.” It is important to note that only a licensed professional can provide psychotherapy.

Essentially, it involves a therapeutic process – one based on sound scientific theory - that helps people resolve past and present challenges. Issues that result in unhealthy behaviors and patterns cannot be changed until the underlying causes are identified and dealt with. These issues often stand in the way of individuals’ own health and happiness and keep them from getting what they want in life.

In other words, people experience events that take them out of their “natural” state of being and cause them to act in ways that they otherwise would not. Thus, they’re aware that they’re fighting an internal battle, but seldom have the tools to overcome the conflicts. What they may not understand is their behaviors usually result from ingrained and out-dated belief systems – ones that have never been updated to reflect who they presently are, or want to be.

Therefore, many suffering men and women naturally seek advice from family members and friends who are not trained to deal with their challenges and may even be contributors to their core issues.

This is especially problematic since over the last several decades, the subject of psychotherapy has been a hot topic of conversation in the media and elsewhere, and even the butt of countless jokes in movies, TV shows, newspapers, and magazines. Thus, many people mistakenly believe that hit shows like "The Sopranos" accurately portray psychotherapy as an indulgent, trivial, and sadly, an ineffective process. Unfortunately, this widespread misinformation means that individuals who might be helped do not seek treatment or remain secretive when they do.

What One Consumer Reports Survey of 4,000 Clients Revealed

In November 1995 Consumer Reports published an article with their conclusions after conducting an extensive independent survey of psychotherapy clients. A startling 90% of the 4,000 respondents reported that they were doing substantially better after treatment. What’s more, researchers found that individuals who were treated with psychotherapy alone achieved the same results as those treated with medication and therapy.

Please join the thousands of other men and women who now enjoy better lives, healthier relationships, and even contribute more to their communities.
