Therapists in Kingston, NY

Let me help you to find clarity, authenticity, and courage in your relationships, your professional life and your personal journey. I provide a free phone consultation where you will be able to explore my background, modalities and experience. I have been treating people clinically for over 25 years. I am passionate about my work and love seeing my clients successfully engage in therapy. Nothing is more exciting to me than watching my clients make powerful life changes.

I have seen that in difficult times couples and families get stuck, repeating the same solutions to the same problems, and nothing changes. The short-term, solution focused work I do, helps break these unproductive patterns so that new, more hopeful aspects of ourselves and our relationships can emerge. Research has shown that couple and family therapy is a most effective treatment for many problems, including depression that seem to be localized within the individual. The effectiveness of this work stems from its focus on changing aspects of relationships that trigger and reinforce the individual problems we bring to therapy.

I use mindfulness, energy psychology, EFT, to relieve stress, heal trauma, anxiety, relationships. We work collaboratively, listening to conflicting parts and needs, discovering how to integrate these parts to fulfill your unique potential, talents, and power, learning to recognize and transform blocks to their fulfillment. With those who wish to explore spiritual aspects, we look at the meaning of experience, including mindfulness meditation, teachings from all religions, radical acceptance, emotional intelligence. We work on many levels, from practical decision making; connecting past and present issues; symptom abatement and coping skills, goal setting; to a spiritual search for the authentic self and its means of expression.

Psychotherapy should be collaborative, and able to adapt to the individual seeking treatment rather than demanding that the person fit some Procrustean bed of preconceived theory. My approach emphasizes individually tailored solutions that build on a person's strengths and makes creative use of their so-called weaknesses, i.e. it is competency based rather than pathology oriented. There is a strong effort to integrate mind, body, and spirit and to utilize both conscious and unconscious resources.

I have practiced as a licensed therapist for 33 years. In addition to private practice, I have worked for mental health clinics and hospitals in Virginia, Indiana and Florida. Counseling/therapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the counselor, the client and the particular problems you are experiencing. Most persons seek counseling because they are experiencing problems which are causing pain or difficulties in their lives. It is an important decision to begin counseling. Counseling calls for the therapist's active efforts to understand the client's needs and the training to help.

Accepting Clients! My goal is to help you get as many aspects of your life as possible into good standing. We’ll figure out your stuck points & hurts, where they are coloring your world, & how we can change your internal narrative. I like to incorporate yogic embodiment practices, to provide a deep, transformational healing experience; breath work, visualization, mindfulness, meditation, body movement, mantras, & affirmations. By holding space for your emotions, & allowing them to be experienced in an embodied way, the ‘energy in motion’, is released, creating ease & an awareness of new thoughts, feelings & pathways forward.

Therapy provides the support to make changes and an enviornment where alternative ways of thinking, reacting and feeling can occur. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults struggling with depression, OCD, anxiety/panic, PTSD and relationship issues.

You feel disconnected from life & from your body. You struggle to connect in your relationships, are unhappy in your career, feel hopeless for the future or move through the world in a fog. You’ve been shamed for who you are & now you speak to yourself with harshness & can’t ever feel like enough inside your own head. You’ve been told that who you are is somehow inherently flawed. I help people increase compassion, reduce shame and feel a greater sense of belonging within themselves and their bodies.

Hello Everyone! I work with individuals and couples. I teach couples simple, proven, and easy to learn skills from Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy that partners can use to repair, or improve their current, and future relationships. I work with adults to help them understand what caused the stuck places in their lives and together we collaborate to create solutions that heal those issues and create positive change.

Life is a mysterious journey of ups and downs, of immense beauty and delight, as well as challenge and, sometimes, despair. I bring 40 years of therapy experience to my clients; bridging eastern and western modalities, complimentary and traditional approaches to help individuals regain clarity, control, and joy in their lives. I help my clients align to their purpose, authenticity and power by using life’s challenges as a gateway to self-discovery and healing. I specialize in teaching the connection between mind and body, health and consciousness.

I am an LMHC with experience in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, dually diagnosed, and a variety of other mental health needs. I have a Master’s in Counseling/Community Psychology with a certification in Forensic Mental Health. My work experience includes crisis services, psychiatric Emergency Room, and incarcerated adults. I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist through the NAMA, and provide Impaired Driving Assessments through the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS).

The path to a life of peace, joy, and harmony lies ahead, and it's ok to need a little help in getting there. The foundation of my practice is based on two core principles: the importance of building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, and the belief that life's challenges provide an invaluable opportunity for personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for support and guidance, particularly if you’re going through a tough time; feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, having issues in your relationships, or if you're feeling ready to work through past traumas. Counseling can be transformative for these issues.

I am passionate about helping you create real change from within so you can experience life, sex, intimacy, and relationships as your heart desires. If you want to feel secure, confident, and satisfied in how you relate to intimacy and your relationships, I help you navigate your traumas, fears, wounds, and conditioning around attachment, love & relationships. I help you take your personal power back, remind you of your own inherent wisdom and truth, and teach you how to release the never-ending "broken" "fix it" cycle of self-improvement and repetitive painful experiences.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." If you haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, maybe you should. Maybe it's just me, but reading all the profiles here seems a bit tedious since we are all essentially saying the same things. As an Army Veteran and a solution-focused pragmatist, I like to cut to the chase. The bottom line is that we've ALL survived something in our lives and fall into one of two basic categories; either those who just don't die or those who come back to living. So which category are you in?

I offer a safe space for all forms of self-expression for individuals and couples across the sexuality spectrum. Often when we are placed in environments with intense levels of stress, whether this is from relationship issues, anxiety/depression, addiction or other life situations, we hold pain and trauma deep in our bodies. When we are unable to process and release this from our bodies, we become stuck in patterns that are unhealthy. I also specialize in couples therapy, utilizing Gottman Method Techniques as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, to provide a safe space to explore sexual, relational and life challenges.

Life is crazy right now. And it’s still important (maybe even more important) to take care of yourself. I’m here to help you do that. Even in the most stressful and unknown of circumstances. (hello, "post" pandemic-life, looking at YOU!). Let’s figure out how to build resilience and thrive… Give no fucks (at least about the things that don’t really matter). And find a healthy, happy balance in your life. Even when everything feels like it’s falling apart...  I help stressed & overwhelmed New Yorkers find space, clarity & calm in this crazy world. Anxiety & depression can make you feel stuck, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed.
