In Person Therapists in Montgomery, NY

I am a LCSW who works with individuals, couples and families to promote more peaceful and fulfilling relationships. I work primarily from a family systems perspective which looks at how family relationships inform the way we view ourselves and relate to others. Reconnecting with each other and learning to communicate more effectively is an integral part of therapy. However, at times, reconnecting with family may not be possible or healthly. I help those individuals accept and grieve the loss they are experiencing and to create their own sense of family through developing and strengthening friendships and connecting to environmental resources.

5/10/24 update- Saturday appointments available! I am a LMHC with a passion to help people find the best version of themselves. I specialize in working with those with mood and personality disorders, and have worked in a variety of settings including: residential settings for people with developmental disabilities, veterans, substance abuse issues, and domestic violence issues. I use evidence based practices to help individual, couples, children and teens build the skills necessary to live a successful and happy life.

The prerequisite to true freedom is to decide that you do not want to suffer anymore. You must decide that you want to enjoy your life and that there is no reason for stress, inner pain, or fear. Every day we bear a burden that we should not be bearing. We fear that we are not good enough or that we will fail. We experience insecurity, anxiety, and self-consciousness. All of these things burden us tremendously and deplete our energy.

Every therapist on this page is going to tell you how they are uniquely qualified to make your life better. To save time, assume that I would say that about myself as well. You probably what to know about fees. You can go to my profile or website to see a list of insurances.

To learn more about me and my approach, see my profile or my website: www.0to10.net.

I work best with motivated individuals who will work with me and be courageous enough to be honest about their thoughts, feelings, and fears. My clients are expected to do assignments, readings, and offer feedback. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the progress that a child or an adult can make through self discovery that counseling offers. Ultimately we are the masters of our own lives, and it is by allowing the individual to unlock his or her own capabilities and potential, that the therapist is truly a success.

Hello, and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. My therapeutic approach is richly integrative, and based on where an individual is at. In these challenging times, and even in the best of circumstances, it can be difficult to cope, and it is not uncommon to feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed about life, one's family or financial situation, or the future. I would look forward to partnering with you, even if it's just to help you have a happier, more satisfying life.

I believe in hope - the hope that things will change for the better. And they will! Sometimes, though our particular life circumstance can become so painful that it is hard to see our way out, to find peace with ourselves or acceptance of our present situation. I will help you find your path. Whether you are struggling with personal issues or having a difficult time with a life partner or other family member, together we will find a way that you will be able to have the hope of coping with your issues.

I believe it is a privilege to enter your world and share your experience. In therapy, I believe in asking good questions and standing beside you as you choose healing, wellness, and meaningfulness. I use an eclectic mix of techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and Integrative Medicine, based specifically on your needs and goals.

I always say that everyone should attend therapy at least once in their life. Therapy is a special experience where you can share your struggles and connect with someone who empowers you to find your balance. I know how difficult it can be to find the right therapist to work with. For each client, I work diligently to create a personal, comforting, safe space where you can feel free to open up and express yourself without fear of judgment.

Take a breath. Making the choice to begin therapy is rarely an easy one. It can feel stressful and overwhelming - much like life itself. I welcome the opportunity to help guide you on this journey. My approach is collaborative and based around the belief that meaningful change occurs when people feel safe and supported.

Are you struggling with something? Anything at all? Well then, you’re looking in the right place. I believe therapy should be a part of everyone's self-exploration and self-care process. Happiness and wellness comes from so many aspects of a person’s life. Until those parts are balanced and fulfilled, then struggles may exist. Whether it’s cognitive, social, romantic, spiritual, behavioral, or any other part of your existence, it’s important to me. My goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and happiest version of yourself. I’ll be right by your side, supporting you in every step of your process.

Asking for help is hard. It’s so natural for us as humans to suffer in silence, to hide ourselves because of the shame that we feel about saying, “Hey, I’m struggling.” My goal is to help you have the hard conversations. To listen to how you’re feeling, and to help you get what you need. You don’t have to do it alone. I aim to offer support to anyone who is struggling with their mental health by practicing a person-centered approach and utilizing my experience with a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, mindfulness and coping skills development.

I whole-heartedly believe in the concept of “Feel then Heal.” Together, we can explore what is going on that is preventing you from living the life you want to live and cultivate solutions that realistically fit your life. I take a strength-based approach to counseling and believe you already possess the answers you need to become the best version of yourself, and that it is simply my job to help you find them. We can explore the thought patterns that may be preventing you from being able to move towards your goals and actively begin thinking about situations in a more positive way.

Depression, overwhelming stress, racing thoughts, past experiences, relationships, existential questions- whatever keeps you up at night or keeps you in bed all day- it’s human, and sometimes it is so hard to be human. Turning toward our pain and taking a step toward health and healing takes tremendous courage. My approach to therapy is to honor this courageous step you are taking and walk alongside you.

As a therapist, my mission is to deepen the conversations we have with ourselves, creating opportunities for growth. By deepening our relationships with Self, we can gain better perspective on our choices — how we got to this moment, as well as how to move forward. Through a therapeutic, strength-based partnership in a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment, we will explore your potential and move toward a place of authenticity and contentment. I specialize in adults and adolescents who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, eating disorders, body-image, parenting, marital problems and attachment issues.
