In this diagnostic area of CHRONIC ILLNESS, I provide understanding, tools towards greater self-awareness, verbal exploration, guidance, support and empathy around the feelings and reactions in response to:

Being diagnosed,
Living with such a diagnosis,
Issues related to relationship and workplace concerns and stressors,
Particular emphasis on helping those diagnosed live with a disease that is largely characterized by its uncertainty and unpredictability.
Emphasizing SELF-UNDERSTANDING, MINDFULNESS and STRESS-REDUCTION COPING STRATEGIES around one’s disease and helping one to recognize how self-awareness about how one’s MS affects an individual can actually empower that person to be more involved in making proactive decisions on his/her own behalf.
Additionally, I always ask to include family members and significant Support Partners into the treatment forum, either individually or alongside the person with multiple sclerosis, knowing that MS is NOT just about the person with the disease, but also about the people around that individual.
This practice is ENTIRELY a telehealth platform; services are rendered by ZOOM. If online treatment is not a possibility, we can discuss other options for connection.

Though I am licensed as a psychologist in New York, I am also licensed to work in MANY other states in our country. Please go to: https://www.msteletherapy.com/telebehavioralpracticeinformation to find if your state is listed; if it is, I can work with you or someone you know who might need care.
