Transpersonal Therapists in Monroe, NY

An Awakened Heart is the result of love and dedication in wanting to therapeutically serve others in their desire toward psychological well-being. Utilizing cognitive & transpersonal approaches specific to individual needs, the work lends toward a more whole and integrated sense of self. Through purposeful focus on self-recovery, the vision is to bring forth the best of whom we are, despite challenges, traumas & the emotional pain we are so often identifying. By reconnecting to ourselves we can begin to understand the themes roles & behavioral patterns that interfere and sabotage the changes we are trying to engage.

I am passionate about helping others achieve goals, work through and problem solve as well as address significant mental health issues and obstacles that intrude, create havoc and prevent individuals from living happy and healthy. As well as a licensed clinical social worker, I also have a masters degree in communication disorders....I'll help you find how and what to say when words and the ability to express feelings are at a loss. Life is not a dress rehearsal....we only go around once!!

I offer psychotherapy, consultation, supervision and coaching to individuals, couples, families and other therapists. I obtained my AM from the University of Chicago in 1995 after having a successful business career as a CPA. My extensive professional experience coupled with life experience as a wife, mother, community member, athlete and spiritual student offer my clients a rich, broad-reaching range of services to help them become their best selves.

I am truly passionate about my work and believe it is important to find the right match. My goal is to meet everyone where they are at in their readiness and insights, and I work with a wide range of clients from various backgrounds. I have over a decade of experience in working with others, and will bring a comprehensive and eclectic approach to our time together.

I am an empathetic individual who believes that the process of change, although difficult, aids people in creating a happier and more fulfilling life. I work collaboratively with individuals, families, and couples to develop life goals and support them in realizing their dreams. I utilize a mindfulness based approach to coach those seeking treatment to implement healthy methods to cope with the stress and hardships of the everyday. I specialize in working with those who have struggled with trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, psychiatric disorders, complicated grief, managing anger, problem solving, decision making, gender/sexual identity, and self-esteem issues.

I help my clients navigate their experiences with relationship challenges, life transitions, losses, feelings of emptiness, feelings of loneliness, lack of direction, unexpected new life stressors, and the depression, anxiety and behavioral patterns that often appears alongside these challenges. I believe that inside many of these presenting problems and symptoms lies information needed for your growth. In therapy, we use these presenting circumstances as a jumping off point, and together, dive into a deeper exploration about how you became who you are and about how you are looking to grow.

Many of our clients come to us feeling stuck in their healing. They’ve been to many therapists, read many self-help books, and feel like they have plateaued. Our mission at Juniper Therapeutic Services is to help clients in Maine, Massachusetts, and New York finally breakthrough this plateau and heal. We use a variety of therapeutic techniques including EMDR, Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Transpersonal Therapy and Trauma-Informed talk therapy.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and achieve their goals. I believe that within each of us lives an innate drive towards wholeness and transformation. Some people call this drive an "inner healer". Through cultivating greater self-awareness and acceptance of the patterns and behaviors we want to change, I believe we can make way for this natural process of transformation to emerge to live life more fully and authentically.

I bring a holistic approach to therapy that draws upon relational psychoanalysis and depth psychology, contemplative and mindfulness practices, feminine psychology and somatic awareness. I hold space for the healing of the body, mind, and soul through deep reflection on one's past and present, relational patterns, and exploration into the hidden, unconscious parts of self through desires and narratives that emerge in dream and fantasy.

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who evaluates and provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. I received my Ph.D. from Fordham University and completed my clinical psychology internship at Westchester County Medical Center Psychiatric Institute/New York Medical College. I also completed a post-doctoral training program in clinical neuropsychology at Fielding Graduate University. As a clinician, I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques including but not limited to cognitive restructuring, systematic desensitization, functional analytic psychotherapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also have a special interest in transpersonal psychotherapy and financial psychology.

I am a psychotherapist, author, and public speaker specializing in psychospiritual development, with particular expertise in psychedelic psychotherapy. My book, Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy and Spiritual Development, describes the influence of psychedelics on the development of my personality theory and clinical practice. (A six-minute interview “Fusion of Spirit and Science” may be found at: vimeo.com/7517009.) Trained in humanistic, transpersonal, and eastern traditions, I maintain a (non-psychedelic) psychotherapy practice in Brooklyn, New York.

My practice incorporates and integrates knowledge and techniques from various therapeutic modalities. I can conduct therapy sessions in English, Spanish or Portuguese. I have specific training in EMDR and Sensorimotor (somatic) Psychotherapy. I am a practicing psychedelic-assisted therapist and have trained extensively with ketamine. I offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions in partnership with Journey Clinical. I offer psychedelic prep and integration sessions that are guided by my familiarity with Traditional Amazonian Plant Medicines. In September 2022 I will train in psilocybin assisted therapy in Amsterdam.

The Feya Health Psychotherapists are all trained in cutting edge & depth oriented modalities that speed up the process of healing & integration in clients compared to traditional talk therapy. We have been featured in the media as an expert therapists including on MTV & Vice. Our Integrative approach helps clients address their self-destructive patterns by getting to the core and root of their issues. The result is a drastic reduction in the initial presenting symptoms. An immersive process for clients who are looking for more sustainable shifts compared to traditional talk therapy.

My long-time practice first in Greenwich Village and now in Huntington has always drawn creative and spiritually minded people because of my specialty in clinical meditation, imagery and the transpersonal psychology of psychosynthesis. I work online and/or in-person.
