Why people here get in touch
Comparison stopped being something you choose.
Most people can name the moment scrolling started to cost them something, and almost nobody can stop by deciding to. The measuring becomes automatic, and it continues offline: in a shop window, at a party, walking past a group of people you will never speak to.
Therapy for this is less about screen time rules and more about what the comparing is doing for you. It is usually attached to a belief about where you rank and what happens if you rank badly, and that belief is the thing worth working on.
Getting here
Where the office actually is.
Islip is on the South Shore of Suffolk County, west of Patchogue along the same stretch of coast. The office is a drive east along the shore, and virtual sessions remove the trip entirely.
Whichever format you pick, the consult is free and it is a conversation rather than an assessment. Nothing about the first call commits you to booking anything.
Common questions
Asked by people in Islip.
- Will you tell me to delete social media?
- No. Blanket rules tend not to survive contact with real life. What is more useful is understanding what the comparing is doing for you, which is what makes any change to how you use it stick.
- Do you see Islip clients in person?
- Yes, at the Patchogue office east along the shore, and virtually anywhere in New York.
- Is there a waiting list?
- Availability changes. The consult is the quickest way to find out what is currently open rather than assuming either way.
