Therapists in Clinton, New York, NY

I believe that psychotherapy fosters the path towards wholeness and connection and I am committed to the healing process. Past hurts, societal and familial programming, the voice of the inner critic, emotional dysregulation, and traumatic experiences can fragment self and break away our inner strengths and resources. I aim to relocate those strengths and inner resiliencies by facilitating connection, exploration, and implementing appropriate best-practice tools. My aim is to navigate the psychological barriers that create disconnection and establish new patterns.

For over 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, and adults as a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist for both psychotherapy and testing/evaluation. My work is constantly evolving and informed by ongoing study of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral functioning, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, and medical illness, complex trauma, clinical psychopharmacology and medications, parenting/surrogacy/reproductive medicine, and psychological/neuropsychological testing.

UPDATE 7/2024: I am currently accepting new clients! Welcome and thank you for your interest in working together. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children, teens, and adults across a variety of settings. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in establishing trust, openness, and understanding. I aim to create a safe space where you can feel heard while supporting you in making meaningful changes in your life.

Are you navigating through anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and seeking a guide for self-discovery and nurturing healthy relationships? As an art therapist and mental health counselor, I am adept at blending various therapeutic approaches like IFS, ACT, CBT and trauma-informed techniques. In my practice, the fusion of these methodologies allows me to offer comprehensive and individualized care.

Wherever you are in your life’s journey and no matter your reasons for seeking therapy, I strive to foster a non-judgmental space where you can feel at home & well-understood. I provide psychotherapy to adults of all ages with a wide range of concerns. These include everyday struggles of love, work, & stress, as well as family & career concerns, but also the profound challenges of depression & anxiety, major life transitions, interpersonal conflict, trauma, & other emotional difficulties. I have extensive experience with individuals of diverse identities & marginalized backgrounds including BIPOC, queer, & immigrant communities.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task - when you are suffering, it can be especially difficult to make this decision. To find relief, you need to be able to connect with your provider, build trust, and explore who you are and your issues in a safe and understanding space. We might be a good fit if you are curious about yourself and want to learn more about how your mind and emotions work, particularly if your thoughts and feelings are interfering with your quality of life, or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or have a history of trauma.

Ever feel that something is off in your life, but cannot seem to figure out what it is? Perhaps you find yourself worrying, stressed, or feeling down? Or maybe you feel that you're different from others, that no one understands you, or you have difficulty connecting with others? Whether you have a unique or more immediate concern, or a desire for deeper understanding, self-reflection, and long-term change, I'm here to learn, understand, and assist you. I find it important to meet someone where they are at, and together, we can work to explore your values, attitudes, and goals.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling isolated, frustrated, or like something needs fixing, but you are unsure where to begin? Current crises, past traumas, fear of failure, and difficulty in relationships can make everyday life overwhelming. If you are suffering silently, therapy with a trusted professional can be a great next step. I have several years experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related disorders/PTSD, and personality disorders. I work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families.

Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and even overwhelming at times. You may be experiencing anxiety in your everyday life, processing a change in relationship, or just needing a space to vent.  I strive to provide a calm, safe, and nonjudgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. My style is collaborative, curious, and reflective. Our work together could include incorporating mindfulness techniques, developing coping strategies, and identifying themes and patterns.

I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, career counseling, and disability adjustment, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy to help my clients feel better and reach their goals. My approach to therapy is holistic, incorporating elements of humanistic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and solution-based therapy. I am interested in you as a person and look forward to tailoring our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, goals, and experience and build upon success.

We all have strengths that make us unique, and in my therapy practice I strive to help clients identify their skills to set realistic goals for themselves. I have been in practice since 2013 primarily in community mental health settings, and I have worked closely with adults, couples, adolescents, and families struggling with challenges that include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues and gender identity, grief and trauma, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors, emotion regulation, low self-esteem, poor concentration, poor body image, career transitions and life stage adjustment.

I have had a wonderful career as a NY Licensed Psychotherapist, NeuroPsychotherapist, LMHC, School Psychologist, Trauma Therapist, Behavior Therapist, Reiki Master, Aromatherapist, Hypnotherapist, College/Univ Dept Chair/Professor, & Regional Supt of Schools for Special Needs & Gifted helping Children & Adults "fulfill their potential" and to gently/assertively/aggressively address the obstacles that interfere and develop the skills to cope and self-advocate physically, emotionally, socially, mentally to "fulfill potential and develop resilience" as an individual, couple or family.

My primary goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and most fulfilled version of yourself. My style is supportive and engaged because I believe that healing takes place when you know that you are heard and understood. I create a safe place in which we can work together to bring about lasting joy and transformation in your life.

Have you wondered if your child or adolescent would benefit from therapy? I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss any questions you may have. I can help your child explore their feelings, make sense of their experience, and develop their full potential. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to learn how to deal with their challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see improved well-being early on in therapy.

With over 30 years experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and teaching parenting skills, my attachment based approach works to help you overcome obstacles that block your potential so you can reach your goals. Children need a safe and playful space to work through difficult issues. Expressive arts approaches and DBT methods are effective when words are not enough. My compassionate and down to earth style examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships and symptoms of trauma.

My practice is about solving problems, from relatively simple ones like smoking, weight control, or sleep issues, to deeper ones like fears and phobias, and, complex, chronic illnesses that almost invariably have multi-faceted emotional roots. Of course, chronic illnesses can rarely be dealt with as easily and quickly as, say, insomnia, smoking cessation, teeth grinding, or TMJ problems. Habits and simple fears and phobias mostly respond very well to the application of skilled Direct-Suggestion hypnosis. However, Healing Hypnosis, my specialty, is a more intensive and deeper process. That aims to get to the root of problems.

My goal is to provide a safe space to empower my clients to face the issues that negatively impact their lives. I aim to be compassionate, authentic and nonjudgmental in order to help you build a healthier and fulfilling life.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, and other intense emotions that leave you feeling paralyzed, isolated, and exhausted? Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated by not being able to regulate your emotions? Do you desperately want life to feel better and make changes? Many people feel overwhelmed with how to move through difficult emotions, and you are not alone. I believe therapy can help you deepen your relationship to yourself, make deeper connections with others, and experience life to the fullest.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy for over nine years at a community outpatient mental health clinic working in a multicultural environment. My experience encorporates treating clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, schizophrenia, bi-polar and adjustment disorders, current and past unresolved trauma and grief. I incorporate an eclectic model approach using techniques from rational emotive behavioral therapy, behavioral, dialectic behavior theory, client centered, crisis interventions, and trauma focused.
