Mastic Beach is found on Long Island’s South Shore peninsula that extends into Moriches Bay. The area is known for sailing, fishing, hiking, camping, birding, swimming, and other outdoor water activities as well as shopping. In 2018 the Village of Mastic Beach was dissolved and became a census designated place managed by the Town of Brookhaven.

If you are feeling like you aren’t sailing through life the way you once were or should be, consider reaching out to a therapist who can help you get to smooth sailing once again. You don’t have to feel like your drowning any longer.

Hello, my name is Dave Tymchyn. I was a returning student in my 30's when I obtained my master’s degree in Social Work at the University at Albany with honors and have obtained and maintained my LCSW for the last 20 years. Over the years I have worked in many areas of human services including working with couples, families and individuals. I have spent a portion of my career working with people with substance use disorders and their families. When working together, I believe in meeting you where you are at, and finding out what you want to accomplish. I believe that mutual respect between myself and you is essential. The goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of yourself and how your situations have affected you. There is nothing more fulfilling in this field than to see people’s lives enhanced by overcoming the obstacles that hold them back. I have a history of being devoted to the individuals I care for and I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York with over 20 years of experience working in Healthcare. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and age related issues. I feel is is vital to have support as we age, so that we can continue to be relevant and productive! My therapy style is conversational, interactive and down to earth. I believe in active listening, and treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I use a patient focused, strengths based approach that helps to build life skills to enhance everyday life. Creating a safe, supportive environment for people to share their concerns is the first step in the healing process. I believe our greatest resource is having a support network. Sometimes we have to step outside of our immediate family or social circle to get a fresh, objective perspective. This is a courageous first step toward living your best life. I look forward to walking these steps with you, setting goals, and seeing what can be achieved when we work together. I look forward to working with you!
