Female Therapists in Irondequoit, NY

People seek out therapy for many different reasons. Unexpected changes in our lives can be overwhelming and stressful. Perhaps you are feeling alone, confused, misunderstood. Maybe you find yourself at a crossroad in your life and don’t know what direction to take. It takes courage to ask for help. Therapy is a pathway for hope, growth and healing. As a therapist for over 20 years, I have worked with a large age range of people with a multitude of mental health disorders. I honor and respect your individuality, life story and the unique circumstances that brought you here. I welcome the opportunity to guide you on this journey.

In our fast-paced world, it is easy to become anxious, depressed, angry, and/or overwhelmed. If it feels unmanageable at times, that makes sense. Our brains weren’t designed to be flooded with so much information globally and in our personal lives with minimal support. Add in additional stressors such as trauma, challenging family dynamics, or parenting, and it can feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode. However, you are not alone. Therapy is a wonderful tool to help release pressure and learn ways to manage challenging emotions so that you can be your best self.

Hello! If you are looking for help on how to manage big emotions, develop more effective problem-solving skills and work towards self-acceptance, I would love to be a part of your healing journey. I typically work with children, teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional regulation or distress tolerance. I specialize in DBT, CBT and body acceptance. Additionally, I am EMDR trained (a trauma-based treatment). EDMR is a widely used treatment to help individuals reprocess trauma in a safe and effective way. If you are struggling, please know you are not alone. Please reach out!

Congratulations! You have taken the first step into healing! Life is a constant learning experience to adapt to different cultures, situations, social groups and roles. Sometimes we may need somebody's insight, validation and support when walking in unknown territory. Whether the reason for seeking therapy is trauma, mental health issues or life changes, I believe we are all capable of resolving our own issues as long as there is awareness, understanding and willingness to face those challenges. Send me a text today to schedule a free consultation.

If you are world-weary or looking for a creative approach to healing, you are in the right place. As both a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed creative arts therapist, board certified in dance/movement therapy, I will encourage you to attend not just to your words, but to the messages that come from your body (includes your brain). I will introduce you to LivingDance(tm), to show you how to access and work with elements of dance and movement that relate to emotions, feelings of effectiveness, and identity development. You do not need talent or training to work with them.

Often people interested in therapy are stuck or overwhelmed by a problem they have been trying to resolve. Sometimes the problem is not even clear. Yet, almost always the goal is relief from the struggle along with a sense of some mastery over the problem. Having studied both philosophy and psychology for many years, coupled with my history as an Executive Coach, my goal is to provide a broad range of tools and support so that the therapeutic experience brings about relief and a sense of success.

Am unfortunately not currently taking most new clients. Am however taking most previous clients who wish to return, or clients referred directly by their EAP workplace programs or by Military OneSource. Am an experienced psychotherapist dedicated to working with clients 18 and older, across a wide range of family and mental health concerns. I believe I have a sensitive, very respectful approach, without jargon.

My belief in the resilience of the human spirit is the source from which I draw my hope - the same hope that I offer to my clients. Whether you are experiencing a life change such as divorce or loss, substance abuse, family conflict, or are simply in need of support as you navigate through one of life's challenges, there is hope for you as well. I have guided and supported many people through these same challenges with compassion, professionalism, and humor.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing changes and life transitions. Coming from a systemic background, I encourage those with whom I work to examine how these changes will impact the relationships they have with others as well as themselves. These transitions, while they may seem difficult at the time, are opportunities for growth. I also believe that lasting happiness in our relationships comes from focusing on enhancement and prevention as opposed to waiting for a problem to arise before one seeks help.

I build relationships which focus my clients on taking action to improve the quality of their lives. I guide guide inquiry and personal discovery to generate awareness and responsibility, and I provide clients with structure, support, and feedback. My clients tend to be capable of some measure of psychological insight and highly motivated to accomplish their goals, whether they be individual or relational.

If you are struggling with food, your weight, or how you feel about your body, I can help. Instead of continuing to feel out of control, we will work to put you back in charge. While I have been regarded as an authority in the field of eating disorders for over two decades, I also have extensive training and can offer effective treatment approaches for coping with depression, anxiety, and panic; posttraumatic stress; marital and family problems; the challenges of parenting; and infertility and adoption issues.
