Kristin Schaefer Schiumo, Psychologist

I am a Clinical Psychologist welcoming adults and adolescents to my practice in Long Island, New York. I work collaboratively with clients experiencing both current and ongoing anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety and making successful life transitions. Additionally, I works with couples and families.

When clients work with me, they often find that their symptoms of anxiety are impacting their professional life or academic performance. Others may feel stuck in a negative headspace, and may find themselves ruminating over situations or catastrophizing possible scenarios on a regular basis.

I work from a creative, integrative lens combining mindfulness based, cognitive, body-based and experiential approaches. I am strengths-based and client-focused, and dedicated to helping clients utilize their innate strengths in order to move forward during difficult experiences and situations. Approaches often integrated include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Couples Counseling, and Trauma-Based Approaches.

In addition to my private practice, I am a Professor at Long Island University. Here, I teach in the school and mental health counseling master's programs where I am fortunate enough to train the next generation of mental health professionals. I truly look forward to working with you.
