Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Johnson City, NY

I am excited that you are taking the initiative to take care of your mental health! Mental health is as important as maintaining good physical health. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 5 years experience working with youth, adults, and families as a therapist. I have extensive experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, childhood trauma and trauma related to growing up and living in foster care, as well as low self- esteem and family and relationship issues.

I offer compassionate and professional counseling services centered around trauma-informed care, tailored to support individuals managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and various forms of trauma. My approach prioritizes the individual's needs, focusing on identity exploration, life transitions, and overall well-being enhancement. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space is integral to my practice. I believe in empowering clients to direct their counseling journey, fostering self-advocacy and empowerment throughout our sessions.

I work with adult individuals (age 18+) and have a special interest in helping clients who are stressed facing challenging transitions and adjustments in life, or struggling with loss. I can help you look at the daily stresses you experience, and identify obstacles to personal satisfaction and happiness that we may problem-solve together. I can also work with you from a psychodynamic perspective, helping you identify internal influences on mood and self-esteem that may have roots in the past. You don't need to suffer! Together, we may find the answers within you to help you achieve positive change and personal satisfaction.

My role in therapy is to help you learn new coping skills to help you reach your full potential and effectively adapt to changes in your life.

I specialize in working with children, families, teens, and young adults. I have training in several therapeutic approaches and identify as an eclectic therapist, drawing from many modalities to create a personalized experience that is suited to your or your child's needs. You can expect the incorporation of psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral, narrative, play, and expressive art therapy depending on what is best suited for the individual.

This is a difficult question because it is hard to define an “ideal client” because as a therapist I may not be ideal for them. I will do a brief consultation over the phone to discuss needs and decide whether my experience and training is a good fit for that individual.

Whether entering therapy with uncertainty about your future or suffering from constant worry, interrupted sleep, exhaustion, or low mood, I will work with you to model growth strategies and develop optimal emotional and behavioral health changes to get back to the real you. I believe that healing, growth, and acceptance evolve through building a trusting therapeutic relationship with you. Deep focus on you includes more than identifying depression, anxiety, and interpersonal communication or conflict – it means walking alongside you on your journey in an authentic way.

Welcome! If you are feeling like you don't know where to begin with your child's mental health journey, then you have come to the right place. First, we will decide if my expertise and services are the best fit for your child's needs. These needs might include increasing self-awareness, understanding different thinking patterns, learning new strategies to regulate their emotions and learning to cope with overwhelming situations or experiences. If your child's mental health is negatively impacting different aspects of their life, then I am here to support them and you.

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.

Everyone is capable of healing, growth, and increased wellness. As a therapist I want to help individuals that are seeking to start (or continue) this journey towards a healthier state. Many obstacles arise in life, my job is to help you navigate the things that are getting in the way. Treatment goals are determined by each individual and so a variety of modalities and therapeutic approaches will be considered to create a therapy experience that is unique to your needs.
