East End Mental Health - Catherine Poulos, NP

Last fall, my husband and I decided to move to Westhampton. I was very excited but also anxious and fearful not only about moving away from my family and friends but also about what the future might bring. I’ve always believed in psychotherapy and counseling, so much so, that I felt the need to seek professional help to address my concerns, fears and mixed emotions.
I came upon East End Mental Health in Hampton Bays during my online research. When I called to make an appointment, Nola, the receptionist, was both warm and accommodating.
The day I arrived for my appointment, the office environment felt welcoming and very safe. I was however, extremely nervous about my first meeting with Catherine Poulis and didn’t know what to expect. To my surprise, her warm and caring manner of speaking made me feel very comfortable. I was also happy that she incorporates a wholistic approach dealing with the whole person, both mind and body. She took her time, asked lots of questions and thoroughly explained her recommendations which included private counseling.
I’ve been seeing Pamela, one of the clinicians, for the past year and couldn’t be more satisfied. She listens to my every need and concern, gives me valuable advice and offers me comfort and hope. Pamela is always encouraging me to set boundaries and not feel guilty about my decisions. I’m finally realizing that judging my thoughts and actions is counterproductive and I need to be more compassionate toward myself as well as others.
Recently, I began participating in the Mindfulness Group at East End Mental Health held on Wednesday mornings. At first, I was skeptical about sharing my private thoughts and fears with others. What I’ve learned, however, is that everyone is dealing with their own issues, but through meditation, reflection and guidance, it is indeed possible for us to learn from each other.
While there are still be days when I feel like I’m stressed and slipping back a bit, I will not let these setbacks define who I am as a person. I believe in myself and have learned so much by exploring various treatment options made available to all patients.
Many thanks to you and your staff for all their support. I am truly grateful.

I went to East End Mental Health on a recommendation, and I have to say they are the most friendly office I have ever been to. I was so nervous because I was suffering from depression for so long that I had given up. Catherine got me on vitamins, an exercise program, and a low dose antidepressant. I started therapy in the same office and got acupuncture! I look forward to my visits. So glad I went! thank you!!

great practice located in Hampton Bays. Catherine the psych NP is very thorough with her patients and looks at "the whole picture" in regards to their physical and emotional mental health. In addition-there is a team of therapists and an acupuncturist. It's a great place for everything in one shot. I would rec. this practice to anyone I care about.

A family member was here during a conflicting time unfortunately Catherine Ppoulas did more harm then good she wanted a first session observed by a stranger that made my wife very uncomfortable. She was very unprofessional and during session cut off prescribed medication In less then a month thousands of dollars was drained from our medical account We would not recommend this establishment for as much as dog training They need to be investigated.
