Therapist in Sleepy Hollow, NY/ Child Life Specialist & Family Support

Support Through Life's Most Difficult Moments

When you or someone you love is struggling with illness, grief, or trauma, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. You might be lying awake at night, wondering if things will ever feel normal again. Maybe you're watching your child withdraw and don't know how to help them process what they're feeling. Or perhaps you're facing a medical diagnosis that's turned your world upside down, and you're not sure where to turn. The weight of loss, uncertainty, and pain can make even the smallest tasks feel impossible. You don't have to carry this burden alone—there is a path forward where emotions can be expressed openly, challenges can be understood, and healing can begin.
