Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. To date, EMDR therapy has helped millions of people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.
Richard has been a substance abuse counselor since 2010. Addiction isn't just about someone ending their substance use or addictive behavior. My experience includes having worked in state regulated addiction programs as well as co-occurring disorders clinics. My approach has been shaped by working in the inner city and the suburbs working with adolescents and adults.
I am able to provide the DMV and OASAS impaired screening and assessment for those who have had an arrest related to a DWI, a DWAI, drugs and other illicit substances. If a motorist is required to be in treatment to reinstate their driver's license, they must attend an OASAS approved center- Hillview Mental Health Counseling PLLC is an OASAS approved center.

Had two appointments that went pretty well...during my second appointment my therapist admitted that she didn't have the right skill set for what I needed and said she would set me up with one of the other therapists that were better equipped to help me. I never heard from her again. I sent multiple messages via the client portal and left many voicemails for her with no response. Pretty awful experience. It took a lot for me to set up these appointments and she completely disregarded me. Would not recommend this place.

Rich was a very helpful counselor. I was right down the street doing substance abuse counseling and they had me going there multiple times a week for months and they just kept having me come back with no clear explanation of when it would end. I decided to switch, this was a better fit and he understood my needs as someone who works full time and was able to really address my mental health and substance abuse needs. It didn't feel like I was being pushed through like cattle.
