Anxiety & Depression Counseling in Cold Spring Harbor, NY

​

Anxiety and depression can feel all-encompassing and terribly lonely and if you're living in Huntington, Northport, Cold Spring Harbor, Syosset, Oyster Bay or anywhere along Long Island's North Shore, you're not alone in feeling that way.

​

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), anxiety disorders and major depressive disorders are the two most common mental health diagnoses in the country. The pace of modern life, and the shift onto digital screens after the pandemic, have only made that more true. So if you're struggling, you're not alone, and you're not broken.

At Gooding Wellness Group, we work with adults, teens, and families navigating anxiety and depression every day. Our team of 18 licensed therapists, of LCSWs, LMHCs, and LMFTs, is based in Cold Spring Harbor and serves the broader North Shore community, with teletherapy available throughout New York State.

How We Treat Anxiety and Depression at the Gooding Wellness Group

​

There's no single "right" treatment for anxiety or depression. Our clinicians draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, tailored to what actually works for you:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often the starting point. It helps identify the thought patterns driving anxiety and depression — and replace them with more realistic, helpful ones. It's one of the most well-researched treatments available.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is particularly effective when anxiety or depression is rooted in past trauma or difficult life experiences. Gordon Gooding, LCSW-R, our founder and director, is certified in Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) through the Parnell Institute.

Mindfulness-based approaches help build moment-to-moment awareness of what's happening in your mind and body, a core skill for managing both anxiety and depression.

Somatic and body-based techniques recognize that anxiety and depression live in the body as much as the mind — and that healing sometimes starts there.

Practical skill-building, including stress management, communication skills, boundary-setting, and resilience tools, rounds out a treatment plan that doesn't just address symptoms but builds long-term capacity to manage life's challenges.

We also offer a free 7-day anxiety email series for those who want to start learning before they're ready to make an appointment. See the signup below.

Working With the Right Therapist Makes All the Difference

​

We're a group practice, not a solo practice, which means we have real flexibility in matching you with the right clinician based on your specific concerns, schedule, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. 

In-person care is available at our offices at 147 and 181 Main Street, Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724. For clients who prefer to meet virtually, we offer teletherapy throughout New York State.

If you're not sure where to start, our consultation process is designed to take the guesswork out of it. You'll speak with someone who can hear what you're dealing with and connect you with the right person on our team.
