Center for Relationship Repair - Port Washington
About
Based in Port Washington, New York, this mental health practice focuses on mental health. Hello — it’s a pleasure to meet you! My name is Dr. Laurel Steinberg and I offer specialized preventive treatment for migraine headaches. Many people with EDS are migraines — I am completely symptom free for 28+ years, and mastered the art of migraine prevention while a student at Johns Hopkins University. It is a great honor and privilege to work with EDS patients to partner with them to enjoy a fully, happy and healthy lifestyle. If migraine headaches are a problem for you, look no further — migraine prevention via practicing, “The Headache Preventive Lifestyle,” is simple to learn, fun and works remarkably well and very quickly. There is no need to suffer any longer! Help has arrived. I offer sessions via telephone and Zoom, and work worldwide, 7 days a week. I am an out-of-network provider.
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important for follow-up care.
Finding Mental Health for EDS
Look for a therapist who has worked with chronic illness patients and understands that EDS-related anxiety and depression often have physical triggers, not just psychological ones.
