Let’s get to know each other…

Trauma and Anxiety Specialists in Long Island and New York

Our team of mental health professionals are skilled and here to help you heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin (attachment) issues or anything else that’s been weighing on your heart or mind. Often clients come in without labels (or the desire for labels) for what they are going through and just want to feel unburdened from the heaviness of their day-to-day lives. Labels are not required. Commitment, effort and a desire to grow are!

Founded & operated by psychotherapist, Esther Goldstein, LCSW, Integrative Psychotherapy is a group practice that specializes in a combination of the latest evidence based therapy methods combined with many of the classics as well.

We aren’t “smile-and-nod” therapists.

We are fully engaged, interactive and work closely with you, the client, to establish the best customized plan for YOU, tailored to your unique goals and needs.

Hi, I’m Cirri. Working with you, I’ll challenge you to be open to explore the silly, the weird, the embarrassing and challenging experiences life brings. We use creative artistic and somatic oriented methods to facilitate healing, and help you express what words cannot; you learn to re-own your feelings of autonomy and find peace in mind and body. You will unlock your creativity as you become the expert in healing your pain, with me as your guide.

Hey, my name is Miriam and I help people who need a different way to heal their pain, beyond just talking about the past. I’m a creative, who doesn’t ascribe to a one size fits all approach, and instead I will help you feel better using a tailored blend of artistic and other evidence based methods. My therapeutic approach includes an eclectic mixture of traditional psychotherapy treatment methods, such as DBT & CBT, as well as positive psychology, mindfulness exercises, EMDR and all the expressive therapies.
