Adults Therapists in 12534

I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience. I work with adolescents, adults and elders. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic. However, I also use a behavioral approach as needed. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space in which to help individuals face and work through their difficulties. I help them identify and change repetitive patterns and assumptions that interfere with obtaining satisfaction in their lives and with successfully pursuing their goals. This includes addressing and resolving anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems and relationship and career issues.

What is your vision of wellness? Both client and counselor will collaborate to define this vision, and design a therapeutic treatment plan that is individualized, goal oriented, and person centered. If you are seeking tools to enhance insight or empathy, to increase skillfulness or emotion regulation, or to strengthen interpersonal effectiveness or distress tolerance, let's collaborate together.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor in New York State. I mostly have experience in working with adults. I also have experience working with couples, teens and families. Some clinical issues I have the most experience in include substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and stress management. My main focus in my treatment approach centers around the establishment of a therapeutic relationship with the person I'm working with. I feel that having a good connection helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcomes from the therapy process.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults for many years. I focus on helping clients with anxiety, depression and those living through traumatic experiences. I believe we all deserve to not only survive, but thrive. Living the life we deserve may look different for everyone.

For others it may mean better understanding how negative thoughts patterns can hinder daily living.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I've witnessed the transformative power of therapy in people's lives. Patients have made peace with the past, enriched relationships, found joy. But it's hard work. It needs a loving witness, partner, guide; I have been that.

After obtaining a degree in Environmental Policy, I worked in sustainable, off-grid housing, where I gained a better understanding of social isolation and the need for connection and community building.

I have since worked primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, youth, and their families.
