Etan Ben Ami, LCSW,

I can help you sort through these feelings to arrive at a decision consistent with your needs and values.

As an experienced therapist and counselor, I don't take a knee-jerk position that every abusive relationship must end. Marriages and other relationships just aren't that simple. I will help you find your power in the relationship and explore ways in which you can make things change.

Sadly, sometimes the only reasonable answer is to end the relationship. If that is your situation, I can help you develop the courage you will need to end it in a way that helps prepare you for more fulfilling relationships in the future.

Currently I have offices in Forest Hills and Lynbrook, in New York. Earlier, I had a private practice in Southfield, Michigan. I've also worked at The Center for the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders in Farmington Hills, MI and at Catholic Social Services in Port Huron, MI.

Though I am new to Kasamba, I have provided counseling and psychotherapy via telephone and chat both through other services and through my private practice.

I have literally worked with hundreds of people. Most of them have been "normal", "regular" people who just needed some help coping with a difficult situation. In my office practice, I specialize in treating people with anxiety and stress-related problems.

My apologies to anyone who clicked on my (very Israeli) name hoping to find a Hebrew-speaking therapist. I was raised in New York City and my cultural outlook is American. My kitchen-table Hebrew is (unfortunately) not adequate for conducting counseling or psychotherapy sessions. I can only provide services in English.
