Williston Park was founded in 1925 when William Chatlos bought 195 acres to build a community. The town is named after Samuel Willis who came to the area in the 17th century and the population of almost 7300 residents is proud of their small town. This is a fantastic place to raise a family due to the excellent schools and cutting-edge health care.
The health care also includes mental health care, which is just as important as physical health. Luckily, there are plenty of experienced counselors and therapists in the Williston Park area who can help. Contact one of them today to make an appointment.

Times are stressful. So many people are feeling confused or fearful or misunderstood. Sometimes, starting on the path to feeling better is to simply start sharing and exploring ideas. I am a social worker (NY licensed) with over 6 years of experience. I have worked with adolescents, seniors, and all the stages in between. I have helped many people with issues such as depression, anxiety, navigating the workforce as well as crisis and trauma. I also have a background working with seniors and approaching concerns around aging and all that could come with it. I provide a non-judgmental approach and have been described as open-minded and caring. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and have worked with people from different cultural backgrounds. I also have experience with people with substance use issues. I use a variety of approaches tailored toward each individual. I favor a strengths-based approach in order to help people feel empowered and appreciate their abilities. By knowing what you are strong in, you can own your power and help move yourself towards self-awareness and making positive changes. Let's take this journey towards growth and connection together. Feel free to reach out. I will be here.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, or life transitions, therapy can be a space for clarity and growth. I use a client-centered, compassionate approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals develop tools for managing emotions, improving relationships, and building a life that feels meaningful. CBT helps clients understand and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT focuses on emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress and tolerance. In our sessions, you can expect an open, empathetic space where we address your unique needs. With over 20 years of experience, I use clinically effective techniques and focus on building a trusting, communicative relationship. I tailor each approach to ensure your comfort and long-term growth. It is my goal to care, support and empower you on your journey. I look forward to working with you or a loved one. Please reach out to me so we can work toward your stability.

Hi, thank you for looking at my profile. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years treating children, adults and couples in various settings. I have helped clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD, LGBTQ, autism, stress, relationship issues, grief and just day-to-day concerns that may arise. I provide mostly a client centered approach to therapy but will tailor my treatment modality to the client’s needs. My goal is for clients to feel safe, respected and understood. My philosophy has always been to treat others as I would want to be treated. My sessions will start by discussing what brought you to therapy and then later together we will come up with a short term and long term goal to meet your needs. I look forward to working with you! Warmly, Jennifer Kempner, LCSW, MEd
