Therapists in Brighton, NY
Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

Some individuals and families need help handling scary situations. Psychological trauma is frequently misunderstood and can cause shame, guilt, and fear. I offer a space free of judgement in which to better understand behavior, trauma, family dynamics, attachment, pregnancy, birth, new parenthood, and sexuality. These issues effect family and relational functioning and can result in high-conflict family dynamics. If you have lost your sense of self or sense of family, I am here to help you chart a path back to yourself and each other.

Congratulations to you for taking this first big step! I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. I also believe everyone deserves an open space to process the many challenges life can throw at us. I am passionate about working with those who may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and general life transitions.

Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have experience working with children, teens, families, and couples who can be experiencing challenges with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, or simply would like a neutral person to talk to.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or feelings? Do you suffer from excessive worry, panic attacks or feeling like you’re not enough? Have you had a damaging experience that you are unable to put behind you? You have the ability to take control and create change in your life. I would be honored to help you navigate a new pathway where the clouds can be lifted and the waves will settle; YOU can begin to believe in yourself again.

As an existential therapist, I consider clients as fellow humans navigating through the hardships of life. I believe therapy serves as a lighthouse, supporting people on the path towards self-discovery, joy, and a fulfilling life.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy.

I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008.

Feeling stuck? Wishing for change? Fear of the future? We go through struggles that test our ability to find joy and experience pleasure. It is often our relationships with friends, family and especially our partners that take the brunt of these taxing times. It is common that our intimate relationships get tagged as the reason for our hurt and pain or are the most negatively impacted. Blame can drive a wedge and damage intimacy. Ironically, it is within our intimate relationships that we find the majority of our most meaningful experiences. Experiences that result in feeling that joy and pleasure we so desperately desire.

If you’re here, it might be because you feel off, not like yourself, maybe a little lost. Someone might be encouraging you to seek support, or maybe, no one knows how truly bad you feel. A major life change may be impacting you more than you thought, feelings of depression and loneliness are becoming unmanageable. Stress may be overwhelming and impacting many areas of your life. The journey into parenthood may have brought about feelings of doubt, memories of past trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and longing.

I strongly believe that therapy is for everyone, whether you are struggling with your mental wellbeing, or are simply at one of those challenging, confusing, or painful moments in life that we all experience. I provide therapy to people struggling with a broad range of concerns, and I specialize particularly in working with young adults. I invite my clients to use therapy as a safe and attuned space in which to share the thoughts and emotions that are most present for them, and then together we can untangle how these emotions are connected to current concerns, needs, and goals.

Shit has hit the fan and now you are left with the mess and while you are generally the one to help others, you are probably wondering where everybody goes when it's you who needs support. You may even start to wonder if you were kidding yourself to believe that you deserve to be helped the way you help others. Perhaps you are considering keeping quiet about your own struggles so you are not disappointed when others don't pull through for you. You have a right to your feelings, you deserve to be heard, and you deserve to heal as much as you help others heal. You can live your best life

I use both traditional talk therapy and the creative process to help clients express feelings and heal issues related to anxiety, depression, appropriate coping techniques, self-esteem, emotional organization, and trauma. I encourage clients to challenge their long held beliefs and feelings about themselves that are, in fact, untrue. Through this type of work you will begin to get in touch with your potential and your true nature. Personal accountability and the motivation to evolve are an important factor in the type of therapy I provide.

Hi, I’m Erin! While life can be absolutely beautiful, it can also be difficult to feel contentment and notice the joy when you are overwhelmed with anxiety, doubt, and negative beliefs about yourself. It can feel comfortable to stay stuck in a pattern that is not serving you, but I’m betting that you’re becoming more uncomfortable with staying the same than you have in the past. While working together, you will learn how to navigate difficult thoughts that promote hard feelings. You will obtain skills to self regulate and accept things outside of your control, while becoming familiar with healthy boundaries that promote balance.

I love working with high performing and Motivated clients/couples with relationship trauma or other trauma who use therapy as an avenue for healing. If talk therapy hasn't helped you fulfill your goals then my approaches could help. I enjoy helping clients explore relationship patterns that don't serve them. This work requires commitment and motivation to change current patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. I believe accountability is paramount to change, I provide a safe space. Immediate openings for Trauma Intensives and Couples Intensives with no wait list. This option can save time and be financially helpful.
