Aviva Kamander

I am a New York State licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, with an office in Mamaroneck, NY. During the covid pandemic, I am working with all clients using tele-health.

I have had extensive training in Mindfulness, Acceptance & Compassion Based Therapies (aka 3rd Wave Therapy)

From my diverse experiences I have learned that:
The way you speak to yourself matters. Negative self talk can be detrimental and it can be changed.

Shame is a major contributor of emotional suffering and mental illness. This emotion thrives in secrecy.

Compassion is a reliable way of improving your relationships, with yourself and others.

Life is hard, and many times unfair. Knowing what you need, and developing the skills to support those needs, helps make the best out of life's difficult situations.
