Amityville, New York therapist: Diane Vaillancourt, pre-licensed professional
Serving Black / African American

Diane Vaillancourt

Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I believe healing takes place when the core of the emotions/feelings is identified and then expressed. Our emotions and behavior are mostly covered and protected to avoid pain. There is no healing without feeling the pain but it's only temporary. Once the pain is felt and released the door for Joy has opened. I also use EFT, Spirituality and Energy Healing as it complements the process of therapy.

Serving Black / African American

Pia Roper-Evans

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R Therapist
If it feels as if you are repeatedly being inundated with new stressors before you have been able to resolve stressors that were already existing.   Therapy can be helpful in making sense of it all. It can be a place to talk through stressors as well as to identify patterns and interactions with loved ones that may stem from core relationships.  Do you want to uncover attributes for personal tendencies that you find stressful and confusing.

Landenberg, Pennsylvania therapist: Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D., psychologist
Serving Black / African American

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.

Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

I am a globally certified relationship and marriage coach, licensed Counsellor, seasoned Therapist. My years of hands-on experience cut across relationship therapy, marital counselling, business coaching, career mentorship, grief/trauma/addiction recovery, etc. I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice. As an individual who has experienced life from all angles (right from a tender age), I am apparently in a better position to counsel and admonish individuals who battle with depression, anxiety, retrogression/set backs, financial turmoils, addiction, emotional/domestic abuse, rejection, youthful exuberance, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, marital/family crisis, etc. My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand. I also provide spiritual counselling services for deeper issues beyond basic comprehension.
