Therapists in Binghamton, NY

Sharing a life with someone is hard. Having an expectation that this life will somehow match what we see in movies or read in books can make anyone feel like a failure. In my practice, I do my best to help couples find ways to connect, build trust, and learn how to turn towards each other regardless of experiences and past hurts.

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.

Understanding your personality and significant life experiences are important factors that affect your perceptions and how you view and operate in the world today. I utilize an integrative approach drawing from many different treatment styles customizing therapy that fits your unique learning style and specific areas you wish to address.

Providing my patients with a safe, non-judgemental space in which they can heal is my passion. My life’s work has been focused on helping people navigate the painful hardships of life including grief, divorce and trauma along with the depression and anxiety that accompany difficult life circumstances.

I specialize in empowering teen girls as they journey through adolescence and enter young adulthood. I help girls develop the tools they need to have strong peer and family relationships, make healthy choices, build confidence/self-esteem, and Be Happy! My approach is proactive and preventive because adolescence is a time for learning and personal growth. My style is relaxed, friendly, and down-to-earth. From the moment your teen meets me, she will feel respected, accepted, and understood. Our work together will focus on skill and confidence building, NOT labels and stigma.

An Ideal client is one who is willing to work actively with me to solve their issues. We work together to develop a treatment plan and reach their goals.

I have a passion for working with victims of narcissists (bullies) who learn how to stand up to these people and no longer feel like a victim.

Hello. My name is Julie Shapiro and I have been practicing psychology in the Binghamton, New York area for over 25 years.

Living in an increasingly complicated world with seemingly unlimited choices about “the right way to be” can lead us to feel lost, alienated, and overwhelmed. Looking inwardly at our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be confusing and challenging. My goal is to help you to be able to see yourself openly, honestly, and without judgment in order to heal and grow. From this vantage point, we can work together to develop clear goals and construct a caring path for change.

Anxiety and depression issues can make life difficult. Fear and trauma can get us stuck. Change is hard and in today's environment it's really challenging. Remember, fear is a thief and a liar. You may have heard "On the other side of fear is freedom". These statements are true, but sometimes we need someone to walk through and process the difficult times with us. I will provide a safe respectful space for individuals to explore and process feelings and make changes toward a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families.

With 40 years of experience, I offer psychotherapeutic services to individuals who are experiencing relationship difficulties, phase-of-life issues, grief, depression, and/or anxiety disorders.

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 have enjoyed providing psychotherapy and pastoral counseling services for over 30 years. There is nothing more gratifying than helping a person move through dark and difficult situations, leading them to a place where life works again. There is hope! I have a rich educational background in both psychotherapy and pastoral counseling. I received my graduate degrees from the State University of New York at Albany and Yale University. I've discovered that a healthy psychological self and a healthy spiritual self are based upon the same principles, showing kindness, compassion, warmth, and deep understanding to oneself and others.

My therapeutic journey has led me to embrace the diversity of human experiences. From supporting displaced individuals in Grad school to working with a broad spectrum of clients at a high-risk mental health clinic, I've found fulfillment in every encounter. There's no 'ideal' client for me—each person's story is worth hearing, whether they're facing trauma, anxiety, or other challenges. My goal is simple: to offer empathy and support as they navigate their unique paths to healing and self-discovery.

Hi there! I am so happy you’re here. Whether you are returning to counseling after some time away or a first-time seeker, I hope you feel proud of yourself for reaching out.
