Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Suffern, NY covered by United Healthcare

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Kerrin Sendrowitz O’Connor, a licensed psychologist based in New York and Wisconsin. I specialize in helping adults work through interpersonal difficulties, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, sleep issues, and grief. I also have a special focus on supporting expecting parents, new parents, and individuals navigating the challenges of fertility and parenthood.

In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, cared for, and truly connected. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify patterns that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential, whether in their mental health or in achieving their broader life goals. While I bring my expertise as a psychologist to our work, I also believe that you are the expert of your own life. Together, we’ll explore your unique identity and experiences in order to make meaningful changes.

Life is hard enough, starting therapy doesn't have to make it harder. As your therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you through life's challenges and helping you become the best version of yourself. I use a blend of psychodynamic and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I emphasize the importance of relationships and meet you where you are on your unique journey. Let's collaborate in a safe, judgment-free space, exploring your unique journey and strengthening your connections for positive change.

Hello! My name is Peter Curkendall.

As a Board Certified licensed professional counselor and certified integrative life coach, my focus is on integrating mind/body modalities to help individuals, couples, and groups reach their full potential. My counseling style is inviting and interactive and is grounded in wellness, humor, and pragmatism with a client-focused, strength-based approach. I employ an empathetic, direct, and practical counseling style, using a wide range of evidenced based tools to make our time most meaningful and enhance your everyday life concerns.

I view clients through a developmental lens and use an eclectic approach, from an evidenced based perspective, and meet people where they are. This includes skillful and strategic use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Existential, family systems, Rogerian, Narrative therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Behavioral approaches. I seek to collaboratively develop an individualized, person-centered focus and existential theoretical framework. I have worked extensively with individuals, groups, and families around trauma and sexual abuse. While helping people develop tools and skills to empower them and help them achieve their goals, I support people through their process and share their journey. Empathy, compassion, trust, and respect are cornerstones of my approach.

I provide a holistic, eclectic, flexible approach. Interventions are customized for the individual and believe a good relationship between therapist and client is key to the process of counseling. Please let me know what you want to achieve through the counseling experience and I will assist you with creating a more dynamic environment to achieve your goals. I bring scholarship and academic knowledge to the practice of psychotherapy and seek to build a collaborative bond with clients in order to work together to achieve better mental health.

I'm Steven, a clinical social worker providing therapy to a diverse group of adolescents and adults all throughout New York State. Many patients describe my therapeutic style as inviting, comforting, and analytic. I provide a compassionate space to share your rich history, explore your relationships, confront anxiety and trauma, and lead a more meaningful life. The first step to overcoming our pain is to speak it to a receptive listener. To begin therapy is to align with the part of you that wants to change for the better.
