Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Geneva, NY

To benefit from therapy it is important that you and your family feel safe and comfortable. As you work together to develop new problem-solving and coping skills your therapist needs to demonstrate well-developed listening skills combined with the ability to be straightforward and supportive as you move forward. It is also important that your therapist presents with solid credentials and experience in the areas in which you need assistance. I have been told by my adolescent clients and their parents that they feel comfortable and respected, while also provided with skills that can be practiced between visits.

My name is Samantha E Golden. I am the owner of Canaltown Mental Health Counseling, PLLC located in the village of Brockport. As a counselor, and an advocate for families, I work closely with children/adolescents that are having a difficult time dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many are seeing peace in a volatile situation or are learning how to deal with intense emotions. Family changes can also affect children, so I use integrated arts and/or child centered play therapy to help children process the grief and loss of divorce/separation and to embrace change.

My mission is to support individuals and families during difficult times through guidance, encouragement, and empowerment. I approach treatment as a recovery process through cognitive, behavioral, and relational models using evidence-based interventions. I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents and families as well as conducting psychological, educational, and personality assessments.

Therapy often targets learning how to make reasonable and realistic expectations of ourselves and the people around us. We can figure that out together. Plus, humor and laughter can provide relief for life's challenges. We'll look at making changes mindfully, from a "could, not should" perspective.

As a Bronx native, my commitment to supporting the wellness of underserved groups stems from my roots. The BIPOC community often faces disparities within our healthcare system and I am committed to providing quality, culturally competent care to survivors of trauma, race-based traumatic stress, those seeking to change generational patterns, those struggling to manage worries, fears and frustrations or those seeking self-awareness into their behavior patterns. My journey began as a NYC educator, where I developed a keen understanding of human learning and development and I continue to also support adolescence and fellow parents.

My name is Katherine. I have a M.S. in Creative Arts Therapy from Nazareth College. I'm currently working under a Limited Permit in Creative Arts Therapy.

I focus on what they can do and help them to develop ways to use those strengths to overcome or compensate for their challenges. I help guide my clients to discover their potential. I believe art allows people to express themselves in ways that words cannot. I want all individuals to be able to experience the healing power of art.
