I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York. I operate from several treatment including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy and Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I Received my Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling and chose to obtain an additional specialty in Sexual Orientation. I am able to work with individuals and couples/relationships both LGBTQ and Straight as well as monogamous and ethically Poly-formed relationships for a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I am currently in Private Practice after an extensive career in non-profit, agency, and hospital settings. I endorse the the philosophies of holism and recovery when I approach mental wellness.

Philosophically I believe that people are not defined by their mental illness or diagnosis and I work hard to help those I work with find the freedom they seek to have the life they want. I have experience working with individuals who suffer from depression, Anxiety and phobias, addiction/substance abuse, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, trauma, personality disorders, recovering from infidelity, sexual functioning concerns (all gender identifications) as well as those considering gender reassignment surgery.

“Demire has been absolutely amazing to work with and has helped me tremendously with managing my emotions and my reaction to them.”

“Demire is fantastic! I enjoy a truthful, honest reaction and response.. along with accolades. I am definitely receiving it with Demire”

“Mr.Demire has been a wonderful therapist to me . I would highly recommend him . He kept me accountable and helped me see things about myself in a different ,more approachable light and I am thankful .”

“Very calm, understanding, and great navigator, I honestly believe in his expertise and has helped me a lot with noticing my issues and actually tackling them. I also feel like what I am learning has helped me in a way beyond just therapy itself and has allowed me to work on myself and has allowed me to tackle these issued by myself. Would 100% recommend Demire anf his guidance has greatly improved my outlook in life.”

“Demire is great at making me feel heard, and helping to focus on tangible actions towards changing my perspective on situations.”

“I've worked in mental health for 15 years as a doctor: I thought Demire might be intimidated, but I don't get that sense at all. I feel like there's always something to learn, like there's more guidance available as soon as I am ready for it. It's been a great experience!”

“Honestly, what I appreciate about Demire, is the simple fact he doesn’t necessarily give me the healthier perspective or solution just yet. He allows me to think and figure things out, and then add his insight so I can keep and maintain the connection”

“Demire is great. It is hard getting me to come out of my shell- but I find Demire very easy to talk to. I'm looking forward to my next session.”

“Mr Demire helped me massively in just 3 sessions. He's patient, asks questions that make you think, and really focuses on the problems you're having. It's a pity that I can't continue my sessions with him, however due to work commitments I have to stop for a while. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their mental health.”

“I don’t know if I can truly express how much working with Demire has meant to me. Talking to him has helped me develop ways of dealing with life in ways I never thought I could. I’m much more present in the moment (not 100%, but more). He’s great 11/10.”

“Demire is an excellent therapist who helps me achieve my goals in a ways that are feasible and effective. He has helped me get through a difficult time in my life and he is currently helping me with other areas of my life that I had found challenging due to some core beliefs. ACT has been an effective approach for me; it provides an insightful way of framing suffering such that I am able to live my life without having to feel that I need to combat my thoughts first.”

“Demire is a supportive and non-judgemental counsellor. His easy manner and expertise have helped me see, work with, and explore complex issues in a supportive environment, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

“Demire has helped me through two of the hardest years of my life. I've made so much progress in our work together.”

“From the first session, Demire identified key areas I wanted to work through and set a very clear timetable on what we would be doing. He was great at building rapport, and was incredibly insightful every step of the way. I really appreciate all the work we did together and feel it's been a great success, I couldn't have hoped for anyone better.”

“The counseling with Demire Coffin-Williams is very interesting as it reveals new aspects to me. It‘s a great opportunity to talk on a regular basis about what‘s going, about what is bothering me etc and to get expert advice and support. Demire has a very good capacity to listen precisely and then get to the point. He‘s very compassionate, supportive and has a good memory. We‘re also talking about positive things and he’s celebrating my successes with me. We’re talking from really bad to really good, the whole spectrum. I can wholeheartedly recommend the councelling with Demire Coffin-Williams.”
