Therapist in Rockville Centre, NY
For South Shore Nassau County residents looking for therapy built around your actual life, not a template.
Rockville Centre patients come to us from all over the South Shore, including Lynbrook, Oceanside, Baldwin, Valley Stream, and Malverne, looking for the same thing: therapy built around what they actually need, whether that’s practical coping strategies or understanding why a pattern is there in the first place.
Serving Rockville Centre and the South Shore
Our Rockville Centre office sits in the village center, close to the LIRR station and Morgan Park. This office sees a particularly strong mix of couples and families, though we offer the full range of individual therapy as well.
What We Treat
Anxiety, including relationship anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and OCD; depression; couples counseling; trauma; and addiction, including dual diagnosis.
Our Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Practical tools for the specific thought and communication patterns that show up between partners or within a family, not just symptoms viewed in isolation.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helping both partners, or the whole family, act on shared values even when conflict or hurt feelings are present in the room.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Understanding where a pattern actually comes from, particularly relevant for the couples and family work this office sees often.
Dynamic Experiential Learning (DEL)
Developed here at Long Island Psychology by Dr. Shulman, DEL is especially useful with couples and families, connecting how each person learned to handle closeness and conflict long before this relationship began.
Positive Psychology
Building on what’s already working between partners or within the family, not only troubleshooting what’s broken.
The same clinical depth as every Long Island Psychology office, tailored to your specific history rather than applied as a fixed template.
Why Long Island Psychology
Our Rockville Centre office is led by Dr. Marc J. Shulman, Psy.D., and a team of licensed clinicians trained across CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Dynamic Experiential Learning.

What to Expect in Your First Session
We spend the first session understanding your full picture: history, current stressors, and what’s been tried before.
