Psychotherapy
We help people who are trying their best to feel well. Our goal is to help people feel unstuck and find newer, healthier and sustainable ways to live. Recovery from mental illness and/or substance use can be a wonderful feeling. We would love to be a part of helping you with that journey. We specialize in folks struggling with trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. In our office it isn't about trying harder it's about trying differently.
Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Use Counseling
Are you sick of others bringing up your alcohol or drug use? When you are in social situations do your friends and family give you sideways glances or comment on your use? Do you sometimes wonder yourself if you need to make some changes? Does it feel like the only options you hear about are AA, rehab and total abstinence?
It is important to first assess where you feel you are at with drinking or drug use before you talk about possible changes. Our office provides consultation and counseling around these questions. We offer a comfortable place to "think out loud" about your relationship to alcohol and/or drugs. Many of our clients will come to us via some "3rd party mandate" and are not sure what to do with their situation. These include being asked to get "checked out" by some legal entity, a court judge, your doctor or simply being asked by a spouse or other caring family members.
Alcohol and substance use counseling focuses specifically on these issues and, more importantly, what you are going through related to these issues.
*Karen Dickinson, Raffinee Acoff-Johnson, & Matthew Teal all specialize in this area. *

DWI Evaluations
Getting a DWI can be a very uncomfortable experience. It is often confusing and unfamiliar territory for a person to go through. Our office can assist by working with you to complete a NY State "OASAS compliant" DWI evaluation that can meet the mandates set forth by the NYS court system.
Motivational Interviewing Coaching & Training
Motivational interviewing is a crucial component to helping any person considering a behavior change. We offer supervision, individual coaching and team training.
