CDPHP Therapists in Clifton Park, NY

Are you pregnant and feeling nervous or down? Have you recently had a baby and feel overwhelmed, sad, or anxious? Are you struggling to adjust to becoming a parent? If you are experiencing mood swings, irritability and anger, anxiety from a traumatic birth or NICU experience, sleep disturbances, or worries that harm may come to your baby, I can offer support. Counseling and psychotherapy during pregnancy and the postpartum period are my specialty. Support is also available for fathers and partners.

I work with clients seeking support in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, disordered eating, trauma, co-parenting, & family therapy, as well as those seeking support in navigating life as their most authentic and at peace self.

Life can be hard...stressful things happen. It can be difficult to sort it all out. There are times in our lives where we lose track of who we are and what we need. Therapy can help by providing you with the time, space and support to help you better understand what’s going on and what steps you can take to feel better.

Feelings can be hard to sort through on your own and also confusing. Having a special therapeutic relationship to address, identify and process unresolved emotions, unpleasant memories, intrusive thoughts and chronic feelings of hopelessness can make a huge difference in ones' life. A specialized plan tailored to meet your own needs and goals is first and foremost.

Are you feeling burdened by worrying thoughts, painful emotions, or stuck in distressing patterns? Are you searching for healing and growth, but don’t know where to start? Having the courage to ask for support is the first step. You are not alone, and I am here to be your support. We all want to be feel heard, understood, and supported. I am passionate about fostering a safe space that promotes healing, self-exploration, and self-growth for all individuals.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

Now taking new clients. I have been a therapist for 20 years. Through my experience, I’ve seen the connection of anxiety and trauma in the body and how that can manifest in unwanted feelings, behaviors and relationships. It’s not your fault that you’re here, but I believe in your power to create the life you want, free of anxiety, trauma, addiction, depression and unhealthy relationships. Being a therapist is my calling in life. There’s nothing I want more than to be beside you in your journey. To help you realize your strength and embrace your most authentic self

At some point, we all experience tough times. Coping skills falter, feelings may be intense, and we can’t visualize the way forward. If this is where you find yourself, I can help. My practice focuses on clients navigating periods of distress or unexpected change. If you're dealing with loss, life transition, or simply a “rough patch”, I offer support and guidance. My approach is flexible, welcoming, and compassionate. We sort things through together. You'll find that coping skills improve, emotions become manageable, and you understand yourself better. Most importantly, you’ll gain an increased sense of hope.

I offer counseling services to adults facing the significant challenges of life, personal distress, relationship issues and trauma. My therapeutic approach involves joining with clients to harness the best in them in an alliance focused on resolving long standing problems. We'll work together to expand self-understanding in order to cultivate your strengths and overcome barriers to personal and relational health. I also guide couples looking for renewal to get unstuck by offering tools and insight that cultivate their inner potential for resilience, intimacy, and desire.

Have you ever just wanted to stop? Have you ever wanted to stop managing other peoples problems for them? Have you ever wanted to stop accepting a sub-par standard for the way that you live your life? I have spent my entire career helping those that are brave enough to have the courage to stand in their truth. I have spent countless hours helping people like you, DO IT YOUR WAY -with no apologies. Your mind is your temple and you decide who worships there by recognizing the entities that are undeserving of your energy. The hardest part is over because your transformation begins now!

In our work together, I hope to help you improve your overall quality of life from a holistic standpoint, with a person-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe in the power of thought and perspective and the impact they have on our lives and relationships. Together we will explore your life experiences and struggles as they relate to who you are today.

I am often described as a warm, calming, and collaborative therapist with a good sense of humor. I have an interest and experience in working with the BIPOC community and LGBTQ+ community and enthusiastically provide queer-affirming and trans-affirming care. I believe that a person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative approach creates a therapy experience to fit your needs. I also have extensive experience in trauma and/or substance abuse, along with anxiety, depression (both adults and children ages 9 and up), mood disorders, change of life stressors, and divorce and coparenting skills.

I believe that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, I seek to meet clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, I focus on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can.

Do you have low energy but you're not sure why? Do you live in a constant state of worry? Or perhaps you make goals for yourself but have difficulty reaching them. Maybe relationship issues? You want to solve these problems and to feel better, but it seems like nothing that you try works, at least not for long. I want to help. Together we will work to find what is blocking your success and find new strategies that work for you. You may be dealing with an undiagnosed mental health issue, or unrealized internal conflicts that need to be resolved. Uncovering these things take the help of a mental health professional.

He integrates this with cognitive behavioral strategies to assist his clients in reassessing their detrimental belief systems. Kelly champions a joint effort in therapy, aiming to enhance self-awareness, broaden viewpoints, alleviate symptoms, and bolster personal resilience, all in the pursuit of of a more fulfilling life. Moreover, Kelly employs Person-Centered Therapy to foster empowerment, further encouraging clients to develop greater self-awareness and autonomy.

Welcome to Janice Prichett Psychotherapy. My philosophy centers on the understanding that people, when provided with the right support and space, can overcome life's challenges. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process and am committed to providing a compassionate and non-judgmental space where individuals can authentically tell their stories. By providing a supportive environment, clients can explore, understand, and rewrite their narratives in ways that promote healing and positive change. I assist people in developing concrete skills to increase their ability to cope more effectively.

You feel stuck and exhausted… like almost nothing is going right, and the stress just keeps on building. Inside, you feel like there's something missing - that you're disconnected from who you truly are and what you really care about, but often find yourself running away as you’re scared of what you might find, or of what it might take to move forward in the ways you want and need to. You’re already feeling completely spent, so how are you supposed to figure this all out on top of everything else going on! This is not how you envisioned your life going, and deep down, you know something has to change...
