Therapists in Victor, NY

A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. It disrupts so many things about our everyday lives. And the stress can be overwhelming for even the most resilient among us. People coping with cancer often experience heightened levels of fear, worry, pain and uncertainty. As the founder of River Birch Therapy, I help children, teens, adults and families coping with cancer to build a life and thrive beyond cancer. During sessions, I work from a whole-person, strengths-based, relational and embodied approach to health.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with an unwanted change, unmet expectations, or a significant health diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness? These experiences impact how we cope and live our lives. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible; finding a therapist that you connect well with and where you feel comfortable is a vital part of that healing. People can sometimes struggle to find a space that is just theirs to be able to process the good, the bad and the in between... but our sessions together can be just that. Your space and time to have a moment to focus on your needs.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I am Sarah Gwen. I go by Sarah or Gwen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), and I am almost ready to apply to be a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I really enjoy learning, helping, connecting, and facing challenges. I also love animals, music, nature, tattoos,and food. I am Native Hawaiian, raised in San Diego. I have been here in the Finger Lakes for 13 years. I am a mother of three, ranging from 25 to 11 yrs. I consider myself warm, casual and intelligent. I would love to meet and see if I can help. No pressure.

Are you tired of struggling? Ready for a different way to approach things? As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I partner with my clients to inspire change. My job is to help diagnose the issues and teach the tools so you can learn to cope and feel better. Let me help you live the best life for you! I am experienced at working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of mental health and relationship issues.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to create a space that is warm, safe, and collaborative. I work with individuals who want to improve their quality of life by exploring areas that may be causing them stress (e.g., grief, identity, depression, anxiety, life transitions etc.). We would also talk about how these stressors may be related to their current or past relationships, whether it be family, friends, children, partners and/or peers. I consider my approach to be direct and open, as well as compassionate and flexible.

Welcome! You have already taken the first step to feeling better by reaching out for support. I know it isn't easy and I am here to help. I believe that you have what it takes to get through what life puts in front of you. Sometimes we just need help accessing the tools and inner strength, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and different ways of approaching problems in a caring, supportive, non-judgemental environment.

During this difficult time, we can all use extra support.. I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 13 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are and provide support and strategies to guide them to achieving their therapeutic goals. I am currently accepting new patients and have several slots available at this time. However, I am now only able to offer telehealth (video or phone). Email only for new client inquiries please, and please check insurance information below before contacting- all accepted insurances listed.

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Finding a therapist that works for you is a lot like dating; not every therapist that you meet is going to be "the one". You should never feel like you need to hide parts of yourself from your therapist. If you or your child are dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event or loss, mood disruptions (anxiety, depression, anger), substance use, divorce or relationship challenges, I may be a good fit. I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we click.

Life can be hard, I am sorry that you are going through a difficult time right now. In my private practice, I strive to help people to learn to love themselves, and to improve relationships with those they love. I have over 17 years of experience and specialize in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and healing from trauma. There is hope that life can feel better and be better.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the problems in your life? When life gets to be challenging, we often lose our sense of joy and hope. We might feel that we are just barely able to get ourselves through the day. You might be struggling with worry, sadness, a short fuse, concerns about a family member, the loss of a loved one or a life change. If you are overwhelmed and are not sure how to regain the life you enjoy, I hope you will give me a call.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise. Your first session will always be offered within 7 days, and guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

Being an adult is HARD! Hell, life, in general, can be challenging. Sometimes you are sad, anxious, or in the throes of an existential crisis. Other times stress and conflict consume your life. It's terrifying and often overwhelming to think you can't change it alone. You aren't sure when or how it got so bad, but you are sure you want to find a way out. You may struggle to make it through the day or breeze through pretending things are okay. Either way, it can no longer be ignored. You've become stagnant and want much more for your life.

I do not see my job as telling you what to do, but to help you quiet the noise that gets in the way of hearing your own voice. ​In our work together, you will find support and patience as you walk through whatever cross-roads life presents in front of you. You will have the freedom to explore yourself, your life and your experiences. I believe that everyone I work with is the expert on their own life so for this reason, I feel the best way to serve my clients is to work as a mirror; assisting people in transformation through reflection. Powerful healing and change occurs with the felt sense of being truly seen and heard.

Reaching out is often the toughest step and it is very important (and can be rewarding) to find the right fit! Each individual has their own unique story and experiences and therefore deserving of an individualized approach to therapy. The therapeutic relationship should foster one's personal journey to self exploration and growth. My goal is to help you find your best fit and support you in your personal growth, healing, and self-empowering journey. My approach is often described as supportive, warm, empowering, challenging (when you need it), and humorous.

My ideal client is an individual who either has been contemplating change or is ready to make changes in their life and would like to have someone objective to talk with. I am open minded and love to learn from my clients. I think that continuing education is vital and that mental health is as important as physical health. My ideal client would be someone who would take what they think is beneficial from our session and practice it in their everyday life. Then we would discuss in future sessions how the practice went and what needs to be adjusted-if anything!

I value working collaboratively with my clients and their families to create positive changes in their lives and in their homes. I primarily work through cognitive-behavioral, family systems and play based approaches. Thank you for considering me to provide therapy for you and/or your family.
