Getting to know Linda Lovisi-Dwyer
HERE IS HOW I CAN HELP INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES.
IMAGINE IF YOU:
Feel lighter and manage your days with more ease,
Change destructive behaviors to ones that improve your quality of life,
Heal past wounds so they no longer hold you back from reaching goals you once thought were unreachable,
Have more confidence, better self-care, be more present and focused with healthy relationships and boundaries,
Able to be more present and in control of your life.
You do not have to go through difficult feelings and situations alone. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and therapy can help you take that first step. My style is interactive and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based models and psycho-educational skills to help clients reach desired goals, overcome obstacles preventing growth and self-awareness—both necessary aspects to feeling better and improving well-being and quality of life. Together, we explore your relationships and behaviors and change maladaptive negative behaviors and replacing them with positive, life-enriching ones, so you feel more in balance.
SIGNS COUPLES THERAPY COULD HELP:
You don't feel heard by your partner
Unable to have healthy conversations, there is yelling, hurtful comments and you don't know how to change things
You fight more than get along-and your children may be absorbing it, by showing signs of anxiety, depression or anger
You feel you contribute more than your partner
Having trouble getting close
I work with a wide range of mental health issues; anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, life transition, self -esteem, trauma, dissociation, and couples work to name a few. I am an EMDR EMDRIA Trained therapist, practicing in NY and FL via ZOOM.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University and practicing since 2012.
If anything here resonates with you, consider reaching out to schedule a session.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to help the client feel safe and comfortable in their therapy journey. We will focus on what is important to the client. All work is done at the client's pace. I may offer homework between sessions, which are designed to foster connection, bring about more understanding, increase positive behavioral changes, and reduce conflict in the areas we are working on. In addition, it is important for the client to know that they are in the drivers seat in their therapy. Also important to know, sometimes therapy is not a straight path, but one that can have many directions that will help the client get to the path that is most helpful, enriching and healthy.
MY TRAINING AND CREDENTIALS:
Although this not an exhaustive list, here are a few areas of my training, EMDR EMDRIA trained therapist, level 2 trained in the Gottman Method for Couples, Developmental Couples Therapy for Complex Trauma, Exposure Response Prevention Therapy, Complex Trauma Training I and II, Ego State Therapy, Dissociation-Focused Trauma Treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Coping and Relaxation skills, Life Transitioning.
I work with Individual and couples, on a wide range of mental health diagnosis; to name a few, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, OCD, PTSD/Complex PTSD, Dissociation, Life Transitioning, Grief.
Further, I am trained as a Health and Life Coach from an International Coaching Federation approved coaching program. This coaching credential allows me the ability to work with clients anywhere in the United States seeking assistance as an individual or couple.
If you are curious about working together, consider scheduling an appointment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session provides an opportunity for the client to share what is on their mind and their therapy goals, as well as ask me any questions. In this first session I will go over my Intake Form, which is me asking you questions to get to know you. Then together, we discuss a plan to help how to get you to your goals. Each session will go in the direction the client wants to go, to talk about what is on their mind that day, and or, continue a therapy modality we have been working on. Regarding continued sessions, I like to check in on self care and any concerns the client since our last session.
