Psychotherapy/Counseling

The Epilepsy Institute is New York City's only state certified counseling program exclusively serving people with epilepsy. Counseling is available on either a short or long term basis to individuals, families, couples, and groups. Our counselors are caring professionals with
experience working with people with epilepsy to resolve concerns and improve their lives. Language need not be a barrier since this service is offered in both English and Spanish.

Some of the goals of counseling are:

• creating a greater understanding of seizures and their impact
  
• helping families cope with the various aspects of epilepsy
  
• helping persons overcome obstacles caused by seizures and get more out of life
• modalities used include individual, group, couple, family, vocational and career counseling
