Chronic Illness Therapists in Binghamton, NY

I am a NYS licensed clinical social worker specializing in grief, chronic illness and addiction. My aim in practice is to create a nurturing environment where you can feel safe to explore life's challenges and begin to discover new ways of coping with and moving through emotional pain.

Reaching out for support takes courage, especially when you may be feeling like you have to walk life alone. I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families in our community in many settings for almost a decade. My goal is to provide a safe, understanding, and comfortable environment for you to openly share your experiences as we work together to navigate life's challenges, stressors, and transitions. I take a strengths-based, supportive, and trauma-informed approach tailored to your unique needs.

The Bridge Therapy's mental health practice understands the desire for privacy and the assurances we all need when we reach out for help. Our professional services are direct, client centered and treatment-focused. We feel confident that they are the type of services that can help folks get better as they are getting well. I believe that a person’s innate self-healing is cultivated and activated by relationships, resources, dialogue, respect, and care. My belief is that personal healing and success can mean life doesn’t always feel that hard, that it may feel easier, and that some comfort and relief might be felt.

Do you ever feel weighted down by feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, or interpersonal struggles? Life can be tough at times and finding a trusted person to support you is important. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship through trust, caring and respect. I utilize a holistic approach to meet you where you are at. I am trained in various modalities including: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma focused approaches. I offer individual, group, couples, and family counseling in person therapy or via telehealth (HIPAA compliant video counseling).

Hi, I'm Jillian! I'm a therapist committed to creating an affirming and inviting environment for the folks I work with. I've been practicing since 2017, and enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ Community. If you've found yourself feeling stressed, anxious, going through a change or transition, or looking to process some big feelings, then you've already taken one of the most challenging steps in seeking out therapy. I do my best to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and we can even have the occasional laugh together. I'm glad you're here, and am looking forward to working together.

I have been doing counseling and psychotherapy for over thirty years. I enjoy working with individuals and will include their significant others, including spouse, partners, family members, friends and (yes) pets. As I see it, my job as a therapist is to work with you to create an environment in which you will feel emotionally safe, and one in which you can feel OK talking about all aspects of yourself. This allows us to use your personal strengths and resources to resolve your difficultes so you can become more like the person you want to be.

My special focus areas are Depression and Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Women's Issues, Bereavement and Grief, Trauma, and Attention Deficit Disorders. I have worked in my career with a diverse array of clients, different ages, life experiences, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. I am skilled in individual, family and couples counseling.

I have been a clinical social worker since 2001 and first began to provide counseling when I was a graduate student. I have worked with hundreds of adult and adolescent clients of all ages since then who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, impact of childhood trauma on adult functioning/relationships, bipolar disorder and those living with chronic mental and physical health issues. I can help you help yourself to finally feel better using techniques derived from solution-focused, cognitive-behavior (CBT) and dialectical-behavior (DBT) therapies.

I am a LCSW with my "R" number and I am licensed in the States of New York and Illinois. I have 20+ years of experience working in both outpatient and Psychiatric Inpatient Settings. I have extensive experience providing individual and group therapy, with a focus on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My counseling style is warm and accepting and I focus on strength building and working with someone's truth as they see it, the whole person, and as a team, we work together towards change and growth.

I am a trauma-informed provider supporting individuals and couples navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

My approach is very individualized, and I am able to put clients at ease right from the start.

Harriet Tubman once said, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Within our therapeutic relationship, you are the dreamer. You have in you the passion, strength, capacity, courage, and self-determination to make change happen. If you want to confront and change negative habits, thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors, to learn skills and strategies to improve your social skills or relationships, or to attain freedom from what has stifled you from being your best self, I am here to tell you it IS possible.

Therapy is a journey of healing, finding emotional and behavioral awareness, and self-discovery. It is a process of exploring and obtaining insight into your life choices, transitions, perspectives, and challenges with a goal of positive change. I provide a safe, open, judgement-free and nurturing environment where clients can tell their stories, share their emotions and beliefs, and to process their thoughts and behaviors. My approach is person-centered, strength and empowerment based.

Therapeutic areas of focus include life transitions, anxiety and depression. I have specialty areas that include coping with new, chronic, or terminal illness, as well as grief work. Recent areas of clinical development include somatic work, trauma informed yoga, numerous trainings for LBGTQ+ and consensual non-monogamy/ethical non-monogamy and polyamory.
