Grief Therapists in Croton On Hudson, NY

My name is Dr. Annecy Baez. I have been practicing psychotherapy for more than thirty years, providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and their families. I specialize in Focusing and Schema Therapy, and I blend these with Internal Family Systems and ACT as needed. My work is deeply rooted in body centered and mindfulness-based approaches emphasizing mindful awareness of inner experiences. My approach is client centered and collaborative. In addition, I also focus on the exploration of meaning, and purpose and the pursuit of authenticity. My approach encourages personal growth and connection to life inherent values.

Couples and parents face many challenges, not just in raising children, but in their adult relationships as well. Anxiety, stress, conflict, and difficult past experiences can affect the way we show up in the world for ourselves and for each other. Gradual work in understanding these experiences in a therapeutic and judgement free environment will help improve sense of self, strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and increase confidence in the future.

You feel isolated from the world and worry that no one will understand what you're going through. You can’t shake the constant thoughts about being different than others and wonder why things are harder for you than you think they should be. As a clinician with lived experience of participating in therapy, I know firsthand how hard it can be to take that leap of faith. I bring warmth and openness to a therapeutic process that keeps you in the driver's seat, always. With a person-centered, direct, and trauma-informed clinical style, I will take the time and space necessary to build a safe and trusting relationship with you.

Come as you are. Psychotherapy is a safe and private place to explore the issues preventing you from living a more productive, meaningful, happier life. I'm aware that it takes an incredible amount of courage to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. My approach is person-centered, empathic and flexible, meeting clients where they are in their lives and helping them to identify and work on areas they would like to change or explore. I utilize supportive, mindfulness based and existential therapies with some use of CBT and thoughtfully inserted levity.

Therapy offers the opportunity to speak about that which may feel unspeakable, shameful, or muddled. The dual process of speaking and observing what emerges is useful for confronting a range of challenges and symptoms. Through careful listening and interpretation, I aim to foster insight and curiosity about your inner world. Over time, patterns emerge that invite exploration and open up the possibility for changes to be made.

Therapy can be a powerful part of the healing process. I feel honored to witness that process when working with individuals seeking help to deal with difficult life circumstances. I strive to create an environment where a person can feel safe and comfortable discussing their struggles. My approach is collaborative and seeks to draw out an individual's strengths allowing them to better address their concerns and feel more at ease in their everyday life.
