Recovering from a
Narcissist Counseling
Our narcissistic abuse recovery counseling helps individuals break free from the deep confusion, self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion that can continue long after leaving a toxic or narcissistic relationship. Many people struggle with the constant gaslighting, manipulation, devaluation, and blame that slowly erode their confidence, distort their sense of reality, and leave them feeling worthless, isolated, and unsure of their own judgment, whether the abuse came from a romantic partner, parent, sibling, or another close relationship.
We focus on addressing these painful effects head-on: rebuilding your self-trust, healing the emotional wounds, processing the grief and anger that often follow, and learning to recognize unhealthy patterns before they take hold again. Through this work, clients gradually regain their sense of self, establish firm boundaries, and begin moving forward with greater clarity, strength, and hope for healthier relationships ahead.
If you’re carrying the lingering weight of narcissistic abuse and are ready to start healing, contact us today to schedule a confidential consultation.
Couples Counseling
Our couples counseling helps partners break out of painful cycles of conflict, silence, and emotional distance that leave both people feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and increasingly alone even while sharing the same home. We work with couples facing recurring arguments, eroded trust, major life transitions, fading intimacy, and the painful sense that the connection you once had is slipping away.
We help you uncover the deeper patterns driving these struggles so you can communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and restore real closeness. Many couples regain hope as they learn to manage stress, repair ruptures, and build a stronger foundation for the future.
If the strain in your relationship has become overwhelming and you’re ready for real change, contact us today.
Substance Abuse Counseling
Our substance abuse counseling helps individuals break free from unhealthy patterns and rebuild a healthier, more empowered relationship with alcohol and other substances. Dr. Daniel Sokal provides personalized support to address the underlying emotional, relational, and psychological factors that often fuel substance use.
Whether you’re struggling with alcohol dependency, drug use, or simply want to regain control and clarity in your life, our collaborative approach focuses on building resilience, developing practical coping strategies, and fostering long-term recovery.

If you could relate to any of these challenges, I can help. Between our never ending personal and professional responsibilities, we often forget to take care of the most important aspect of all, our mental health. Together in therapy we will work towards rebuilding your confidence while fostering new tools and techniques to help you manage stress, create positive change, and growth.
A Therapist for the Modern Digital World
I work best with those who want to begin the process of change. By change, I mean changing the repetitions in your life for the better, changing the loops of arguments that seem to go nowhere, changing the pre-written script of the comeback in arguments before the other side is heard, and changing the symptoms that stem from being stuck in these patterns.
Together in therapy, we will work towards building on your inner strengths and abilities to engage with the deeper meanings of everyday tensions. We will start the process of rebuilding frayed relationships and your sense of you.
I am results oriented and work in a collaborative partnership with my patients towards relieving the symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and significant family changes including; relationship conflicts, relational distance, infidelity, evaluating divorce and peaceful separation, individual family issues, family of origin conflicts, parent child relationship stressors, cut off, and recovery or interacting with narcissistic pathology.
I am a New York and Connecticut state licensed clinical social worker, and doctorate level trained psychoanalyst providing psychotherapy and counseling from a psychodynamic perspective. A psychodynamic perspective means that together we will work to identify the deeper meanings in everyday things.
I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, life adjustment, and relationship issues. and have spent the last 20 plus years working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
