How We Work at Long Island Psychology
Some people arrive wanting relief from one specific problem. Others want to understand why a pattern keeps repeating, sometimes for years, and what it has been protecting them from. Most want both, so we tailor our treatment to each person’s unique needs.
We specialize in anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship and couples issues, among other therapy specialties. Our work is led by Dr. Marc J. Shulman, Psy.D., Founder and Director, with a team of licensed clinicians who draw on CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Dynamic Experiential Learning (DEL). We see patients from across Nassau County in Garden City and Rockville Centre, and by telehealth across New York State. When you are ready, reach out through our Contact Us page.
