In Person Therapists in Glen Spey, NY

I am passionate about working with young people and members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a former educator, I have extensive experience working with youth, and specialize in issues related to adolescence, young adulthood, coming out, queer identities, perfectionism, self-image, and learning disabilities. My work seeks to work with what is thought and what is felt, integrating cognitive and somatic experiences. Also, the handsome fella in the pic is Hud, our rescue pup. He's generally happier than he looks in the picture, I promise.

We get focused, establish goals and achieve them together. This is done in a warm and more casual manner. I look at people within four areas: Psychological, Biological, Sociological & Spiritual.

I am a nurse practitioner holding dual board certifications in psychiatry and family medicine. I specialize in the medical management of mental disorders of children, adults and the elderly. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, attention deficit disorder, dementia, substance abuse, among other conditions. In addition I am registered to certify patients for Medical Marijuana. For those that prefer to address their issues from home, telehealth is available. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management.

My scope of practice includes treating individuals diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, BiPolar Disorder, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, PTSD, ADHD, Eating Disorders/Obesity, and Substance Use Disorders. I believe in a multifaceted approach to treatment with individualized attention to client's specific needs. Having been employed by a major Regional Hospital as a psychiatric/addiction professional managing Emergency Room assessments and detox services on the medical/mental health units for the last five years, I have gained new insights to effective treatment planning, and improving functionality. My experience includes in-patient as well as out-patient behavioral health treatment working with adults, couples, families, and adolescents.

I don't know what to say here and that is okay! With acceptance of this I can be present in curiosity and openness. Support of my clients begins here. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples to help them tap into their innate power to heal. Whether suffering from anxiety, heart-ache, depression, or deep trauma, behind all these symptoms exists a path to wholeness.

I believe that ultimate wellness encompasses 8 different aspects of life. Wellness is more than just health. The model I use in therapy includes physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and intellectual wellness. This brings a holistic approach to evidence-based theories which helps create a supportive environment conducive to growth. It is often difficult to identify where we struggle and how to blend these 8 branches to find homeostasis and balance. My goal as a therapist is to help bridge the gap and provide a safe environment for individuals to explore this therapeutic journey.

I bring to my practice the skills and experience of a rich 20-year career, as well as a solid humanistic approach to mental health, human relationships and growth. I believe that every human being has value, deserves respect, benefits from meaningful relationships, and has the capability for self-actualization. Therapy is a powerful process not only to overcome adversity, obstacles, or negative patterns in thinking, behaviors or relationships that may be causing suffering, but also it can be an extraordinary opportunity to explore and find your uniqueness, potential and strength in ways that you may have not considered before.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work closely and collaboratively with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I understand that life can be challenging and believe that I can help you navigate through some tough time. I will work with you to set goals and create a direction that will lead to joy and satisfaction. I believe that many of our challenges are embedded in our relationships with intimate partners, friends, family and ourselves. I will work with you to strengthen these relationships, dismantling some unproductive patterns, and helping you to create positive ones.

I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment that will allow clients to comfortably explore patterns in their behavior, thoughts and relationships that may be causing pain or creating blockages. Many of us have a story that we tell ourselves that explains how we have developed into the person that we are today, but often these narratives may be inaccurate and may be preventing growth or prolonging suffering. I believe that therapy provides a non-judgmental place to interrogate these narratives and gain insight into how these beliefs might impacting our lives.

You are the main player in your life. It may not always feel this way, whether it is past experiences, unhelpful habits, or challenges arising in your relationships that seem to be taking the lead. You CAN build on established skills and develop the necessary tools to help you feel in control again. Though this can take time, you’re working to take the steps needed for your own well-being. For that, I commend you! Will it be hard at times? Yes. Will it get better in time? Yes! With your willingness and desire to be a part of this journey, you can accomplish your goal, and I will gladly support you in that.

As a dedicated mental health counselor specializing in narrative therapy, my primary focus is on understanding and addressing the unique stories of my clients. My ideal clients are individuals who are navigating significant life transitions, such as immigration, career changes, or relationship challenges. These clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of identity and purpose. They seek a safe and empathetic space where their experiences can be heard and validated, and where they can explore new narratives that empower them to move forward with confidence.

Many of us develop patterns of behavior and explanatory narratives in response to life's demands. Over time, this form of adaptation can lead to a false sense of self. Sooner or later, though often around midlife, our typical ways of coping and sublimation no longer work, and we are called to reconnect with our true selves. Therapy can support this process of uncovering and freeing ourselves from maladaptive patterns.

I work with children, individuals & couples. In my work with children I engage them in a non-pressured environment using play & talk therapy as I work with them and their parents to help understand their world, increase awareness, promote effective communication & find meaningful solutions. I do a lot of work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression or anger to learn to cope and express themselves. I selectively use family & interpersonal dynamics. I use EFT to help couples improve the intimacy and closeness that they crave in their marriage while improving communication and understanding.

Thank you for stopping by. You probably already know that most people find relationships challenging especially the romantic, intimate, sexual kind. Perhaps you're frustrated, discouraged, disappointed and resentful about it all. Perhaps you feel burdened or obligated by your relationship. Or perhaps you feel a whole bunch of lacks; lack of love, lack of affection, lack of connection, lack of warmth, lack of sex etc... Regardless of the particular relationship challenge or challenges you might be facing, I can help.

I believe that therapy can be an essential tool used to maintain a well-balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. As a therapist, I find it important to create a safe and friendly environment. I strive to always be in tune with what you need and assist you in exploring whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.
