Ms Fanegie Badette

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Provide empathy and compassion to those with anxiety, communication issues, goal setting, marital discord, as well as other difficulties.”

About Me

I offer a compassionate and empathetic space for individuals and couples navigating life's challenges. I help clients address anxiety, improve communication, and resolve marital discord. We focus on setting clear, achievable goals together. My approach suits those seeking support to explore difficulties and find practical ways forward. I aim to guide you through your journey.

Approach

When we meet, I focus on noticing patterns that keep you stuck and together we translate worries into small, practical steps. Sessions in my Little Neck office or online move at a steady pace—brief check-ins, focused skill practice, and time to reflect on what shifts between meetings. I use gentle, evidence-informed assessment to tailor homework and track progress with adolescents, adults and couples. People looking for clear tools, better connection, and manageable goals often find this approach helpful.
