Stephen Krysztoforski

I am a New York state Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse and abandonment. I have become proficient in providing direct clinical care with participants who identify within a range of sexual orientations, ethnicities, economic statuses and mental health concerns. I consider my style as warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels or the enforcement of being the expert; we will always be a team who collaboratively explores your hardships. I have an eclectic approach which combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, Gestalt as well as other forms of evidence based counseling models to name a few. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs to aid you in achieving your goals in a manner that fits within your chosen pathway. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! ________________________________________ SPECIALTIES • Stress, Anxiety • Trauma and abuse • Depression • Coaching I also have experience in Addictions, Family conflicts, Grief, Anger management, Self esteem, Mood disorders, Coping with life changes and Stress management.
