Jericho Therapy with In-Person and Virtual Options
At Long Island Psychology, we design our treatment around our clients’ needs. This means offering therapy in the way that feels most comfortable and best fits your schedule. We meet with many of our Jericho patients from our Roslyn Heights office, which is conveniently located within easy driving distance. Depending on where you live or work, we also have options to visit us in Rockville Centre or Garden City.
For patients who prefer to attend their therapy sessions from their home or office, we also have a virtual therapy option. These meetings take place over video or phone. You can still meet with all of the same clinical psychologists, but at a location that works for you.
Our Approach to Individual Therapy in Jericho
Our work with individuals starts by developing an understanding of who you are. This includes any diagnosis or condition that you are experiencing, looking at your past experiences, and naming the obstacles you face to give us the full picture of where you are currently at and what changes you would like to see. We can devise a treatment plan to move you forward in the direction you want.
For many of our patients, this includes managing or overcoming mental health conditions along the way and we are able to provide treatment for:
- Depression – Depression can be a severe interruption to your life, whether you experience it as clinical depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal depression, or another way. We work to both reduce the physical and mental symptoms that occur with depression, while also working with you to understand any underlying causes so that we can provide a long term fix for depression.
- Anxiety – When a person experiences anxiety, their natural fight or flight response activates even when there is no reason for them to be worried. You may have panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, or general anxiety that you feel most of the time. We work on skills to help you manage your feelings of anxiety and change the thoughts that cause you to have anxiety.
- Addiction – Addictions therapy is focused on breaking the cycle of addictions like alcoholism, drug use, sex, pornography, gambling, and other behaviors. We have tools to support you in achieving and maintaining sobriety and pushing through cravings.
- Stress – Life transitions, work and career stress, and other challenges can leave you feeling stressed. We can teach skills and coping strategies to help mitigate stress so that you feel less overwhelmed in your life.
- Grief/Loss – Loss of a loved one can have a lasting impact on those who remain. Therapy in Jericho is a place to discuss what you are feeling about your loss, avoid slipping in depression, and start to move beyond your feelings of sadness.
- Women’s Issues – Women face many unique issues throughout the course of their lives. We can help you with concerns around marriage, balancing family and career, infertility, miscarriage, childbirth, postpartum depression, and other issues.
- Pediatric Therapy – Children face their own challenging emotions that they can struggle to work through. Pediatric therapy in Jericho uniquely understands what children are feeling and can help them process their emotions, adjust behaviors, and deal with conditions like ADHD.
These mental health conditions and others can be easier to navigate with the help of a psychologist in Jericho. But you also do not need to have a specific diagnosis or event in your life that has recently caused you stress to benefit from therapy at Long Island Psychology. We can help when you are simply motivated to improve your life or become happier.

Couples can face a range of obstacles that put pressure on their relationships.

Group Therapy, Resilience Training, and Other Options for Jericho Therapy
Long Island Psychology also regularly runs group therapy sessions. These cater to many of the same needs as our individual and relationship therapy with sessions that focus on anxiety, relationships, and other concerns. An experienced psychologist on our team leads each group therapy session as you and a small group of others consider challenges and build coping mechanisms while providing mutual support for each other.
We also regularly lead a resilience training program. This innovative program is designed to help you be more resilient to stress, better able to cope with setbacks, and generally maintain a more positive mindset whether in your day to day life or in a demanding job.
