Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
We personalize your treatment based on your unique needs. We treat all types of couples and help you examine the areas of the relationship that require improvement, and where you are succeeding.
I love working with couples of all walks of life, with a special interest in couples where one or both parties are Muslim, and couples struggling with difference of all kinds. I'm a compassionate and culturally-competent therapist and counselor, with an interest in working with individuals and couples including on all kinds of issues. I believe we can all experience helping people move towards a better and healthier life. I'm trained in DBT, CBT, compassion focused therapy and couples work, and I especially enjoy working with people bringing issues concerning race, culture, religion and spirituality. I offer a free 15-minute consultation with anyone interested in working with me, and I look forward to speaking with you about what you want to accomplish in therapy.
Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts and feelings and provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to combat overwhelming emotions.
Things can get better when you work with a therapist. We will help you develop insight into your thinking patterns to eliminate critical thoughts and promote a positive mindset.

For forty years as a respected and trusted psychologist in the Queens and New York regions, Dr. Joel Stukalin has provided quality couples counseling, marriage counseling and individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to his clients from many cultures, religions and ethnicities.
I work with new couples, long term relationships, LGBTQIA coupes, as well as infidelity, divorce in relationships. The work includes looking at communication patterns and changing ineffective patterns to support connection and growth, discovering how our family of origins blueprints impact current relationships and shifting that imprint to one that works for the couple today. I also do pre-marital counseling, and provide tools of communication and connection.
