Faye Lennon, PhD Psychologist

Imago Relationship Therapist

WELCOME

I’m a dedicated Clinical Psychologist with over thirty years of experience. I treat couples and individuals in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau County & Suffolk County, specializing in a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges among others.

My therapeutic approach to couples therapy is rooted in evidence-based methods like Imago Relationship Therapy and the Developmental Model of the Couples Institute, tailored to fit the unique dynamics of your relationship. I work with couples navigating a broad spectrum of life’s transitions and challenges, helping you discover increased intimacy and understanding.

My approach to individual therapy combines Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic insights. I customize treatment to your needs, your pace and your goals.

COUPLES THERAPY

Couples therapy is aimed at helping partners in a romantic relationship improve their communication, resolve conflicts and deepen emotional intimacy.It can be beneficial at any stage of a relationship, from dating and cohabiting to long-term marriages.

Imago

Imago Therapy is a form of relationship and couples therapy that focuses on transforming conflict into healing and growth through relational connection.

Marital

Marital therapy (also called marriage counseling) is a form of psychotherapy that helps partners in a romantic relationship improve their relationship, resolve conflict and build healthier communication.

Pre-Martial

Premarital therapy, also known as premarital counseling, is a form of couples therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage by addressing potential challenges and building a stronger foundation for their relationship.

Infidelity

Infidelity is a deeply complex and emotional topic. It refers to the act of being unfaithful in a romantic relationship, typically through emotional or physical betrayal.

Financial Issues

Money touches almost every aspect of life how you spend it, how you save it, how you earn it—and can create significant tension when partners have different beliefs, habits or goals related to finances.

Life After Baby

Life after having a baby can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s also one of the most challenging times in a relationship.

Platonic Relationships

Therapy for platonic relationships can be beneficial for maintaining or repairing meaningful non-romantic connections. Relationships with family members, friends and co-workers can be just as complex as romantic relationships and can greatly influence our emotional well-being.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual therapy, also known as talk therapy or psychotherapy, is a type of counseling where I work one-on-one with you to address your personal challenges, emotional issues or mental health concerns.

Depression

While a psychiatrist can prescribe medicine for depression, a psychologist uses talk therapy as a way to help you emotionally heal.

Anxiety

Therapy for anxiety is highly effective and can be tailored to help you understand, manage and reduce your anxiety symptoms.

Trauma

Trauma is a psychological and emotional response to an event or series of events that are deeply distressing, overwhelming or harmful.

Psychological Component of Health Issues

This refers to the ways in which mental, emotional and behavioral factors influence physical health and the experience of illness.

Work Challenges

Seeking therapy for work challenges can be incredibly beneficial for managing stress, improving performance and enhancing overall well-being. Work-related issues, if left unaddressed, can impact both your mental health and job performance.

Sex Therapy

Seeking therapy for sex-related issues can be a crucial step toward improving your overall well-being, relationship satisfaction, and sexual health.

Life Transitions

Therapy can be incredibly beneficial when navigating life transitions—those periods of change or uncertainty that occur at various stages of life, such as moving to a new city, starting or ending a relationship, changing careers or experiencing other major life changes.

VIRTUAL THERAPY

The beauty of virtual therapy? You don’t need to travel to an office. You can meet with me from your home, your office or even your parked car. You just need a quiet space, a good Wi-Fi connection and a desire to begin.

FAQs

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, I offer a free initial consultation phone call to discuss your particular needs and to make sure I’m an appropriate therapist for you.

How long does a therapy session last?

The first session lasts longer than the typical weekly session so I can get to know you, your background and concerns in detail. After the first session, Individual Therapy Sessions are typically 45 minutes. Couples Therapy Sessions are typically 1 hour.

How often do I need to see a therapist?

Sessions are weekly in the beginning. As therapy progresses, they can become less frequent. How long it will take to resolve your particular issue is different for each person/couple.

How do you know when it’s appropriate to make a referral to a psychiatrist (MD)?

If symptoms such as anxiety, depression or psychotic episodes persist and aren’t improving with psychotherapy, I will refer you to a psychiatrist for evaluation for medication.
