Therapists in Orange County, NY

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!!

As a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years experience, I bring a direct, hands approach to my clinical work. It is imperative for each individual to believe that their unique issues can be resolved to a level that is, at the very least, manageable if not resolved to a high level of satisfaction. I truly believe in the resilience of people and each persons ability to live symptom free utilizing the tools we work on together. I strive to assist people in drawing upon their strengths and believing in themselves to reach their maximum potential.

With all that daily life requires of us, it is critical we maintain balance. I would love to work with you to help you learn and improve the necessary tools for you to manage your mental health needs.

My specialty is working with individuals (18yo and up), couples and family members. My focus is to improve your relationships with one another, and work on your individual growth. I am very successful at engaging those of you who historically have had difficulty connecting to therapy or to therapists. My demeanor is very warm, relaxed and nurturing, inviting a safe environment for you to challenge yourself to be honest and to grow. Although I work very well with couples, I also challenge individuals to remove the blocks which have been very disruptive in their lives, at work, home or in their social life.

Hello, my name is Lisa Hendrickson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a therapist, I embody a calm and relaxed demeanor, creating a comfortable and inviting environment for my clients. With a keen sense of humor, I aim to lighten the atmosphere and establish a connection built on trust and ease. My priority is to ensure that clients feel at ease and unburdened by any intimidation during their therapeutic journey, fostering an environment where they can openly express themselves and engage in the healing process with comfort and reassurance.

​Are you struggling to establish a meaningful connection with your teen? Observing signs of isolation or withdrawal in your child? Have you been confronted with the challenge of a call from your child’s school, requesting the need for additional support? These manifestations may be indicative of underlying anxiety or depression, necessitating a nuanced approach to emotional intelligence and coping mechanisms. In a collaborative effort with you as the parent, your child, and myself, we will collectively develop a tailored set of goals and a treatment plan aimed at fostering a brighter future.

My work encompasses helping people get a clearer picture of what they want in their lives. This enables them move forward and implement the necessary changes in an open-minded, nonjudgmental and supportive environment.

Are you willing to invest time into your personal growth to improve your quality of life? Are you struggling with "the hamster on the wheel," and other symptoms of anxiety and depression? I believe we all need someone outside of our personal lives to provide an objective and confidential ear with feedback in order to discover our own solutions that reside within ourselves.

Hello, I have a great passion for serving Youth, Adults and Families. Sometimes we are faced with adversities or changes within our life that can be difficult to deal with and/or ask for help. School, work, relationship and life expectations may cause us to feel stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected or just overall tired. When this happens, we often experience an increase in symptoms of depression, anxiety or past trauma. I work to lessen the stigma and empower individuals to seek help for these concerns in hopes to help to heal & strengthen the person & family.

I work mostly with adolescents and emerging adults looking to address anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and codependecy/relational challenges. A big focus of mine is helping my clients foster a sense of independence and autonomy as well as learning interpersonal effectiveness skills. As a queer therapist myself, I love working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

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.

Letting someone know you need help is brave. People enter therapy looking for solutions to problems, seeking healthier ways to manage stress, wanting to change behaviors, process unpleasant past events or learn to communicate with others more effectively. Having feelings is normal, but when our emotions become too big, too intense or even too scary to face alone; therapy can be a safe place to unpack what's underneath those feelings.
