In Person Therapists in Shokan, NY

I am available for in person and remote therapy. The decision to enter Psychotherapy is a courageous one. When you have tried everything you can think of to feel better emotionally, but nothing quite works, it can be disheartening. Fortunately, that's where the help of a Psychotherapist can come in. With determination and commitment to the therapy process, it is never too late for anyone to change and live a happier more fulfilled life. For the past 33 years I have been in Private Practice working with clients (adults 18 and older) to do just that, change their lives. What makes me a unique psychotherapist is discussed below.

Helping people overcome life's difficulties while turning adversity into strength, emotional freedom, and joy is my professional mission. I use my diverse training to meet clients where they are, whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, trauma, or emotional regulation. I aim to help clients find joy and stability.

It's hard to say when things 'shifted', but you realize that you barely recognize the person you've been living with. It's both heart wrenching and horrifying to imagine that you and your partner have grown so far apart. You're questioning your relationship - maybe ALL of your relationships. You're a stranger to your partner, and they, to you. What brought us together to begin with? And why can't we work through even the simplest things? At some point maybe you convinced yourself that 'this will pass'. Maybe it started when you got that new job, when your kids were born, when... But now, the distance between you can't be ignored.

I'm a NY licensed psychotherapist focusing on life transitions, connecting with our true selves, and navigating all that life throws our way. From a holistic, trauma-informed, relational lens, I work with you as a whole person to address all the intersections (internal and external) that are impacting you. I will work with you collaboratively to understand your experiences - your joy, your pain, your struggles, and your goals and aspirations. If you are looking to get to know all the parts that make up who you are and explore ways to connect more deeply with your true self, reach out and let's see if we can work together.

Need help building self esteem, improving or finding a relationship, discovering meaning in your work, putting down an addiction, healing childhood trauma? I am a passionately engaged psychoanalytic psychotherapist, training analyst, Imago couples therapist, award winning writer, international conference speaker, animal and nature lover, biker, hiker, swimmer. I am also curious, non-judgmental, interactive and open-hearted. Psychotherapy can be a transformational, even life-saving experience. It leads to self-acceptance (understanding the meaning of entrenched patterns) and self-actualization (developing new ways of being). I believe that our work together will expand the possibililties for growth, healing and a richer life.

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.

As your therapist, my first concern is to create a safe and supportive place where you can explore what brings you to therapy. Whether you feel stuck in an unfulfilling relationship or are searching for more meaning in your day to day life, my approach will bring movement and change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy and we will practice authentic, present-centered dialogue including emotions held in the body. As we explore what is happening in the moment we often create new experiences that can replace old, obsolete or no longer use full patterns of belief.

You worry all the time about being judged by other people. You feel disconnected from your body and, at the same time, feel like it’s all you think about. You question what you say, how your body looks, if you’re doing things “right,” and there are so many times where your mind feels like it’s on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. You feel on edge all day and sometimes even feel like you may be having a heart attack. You don’t feel like you fit in anywhere. You’ve been made fun of before for so many different parts of who you are. You’ve been called weird or have been misunderstood at work, in your family, and even in some of your dating relationships. You’ve struggled to find someone who feels like a good fit romantically, and you’re worried there’s something wrong with you. You want to feel more connected to yourself again…

You are ready to celebrate the full you. You dream of moving beyond whatever is keeping you stuck in unhealthy patterns. You are tired of trying to fit into a world that was not designed for you. You want to respond instead of react, improve your connection to others, and be grounded in your body. Even when some areas of your life are going okay, things still feel hard. You may have tried therapy many times before but it never seems "to work" and you are ready to try something new.

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.

I am a relational psychotherapist in private practice in Kingston, NY, and I serve as the Director of Education and Faculty in Psychoanalysis at the Institute for Expressive Analysis in New York City. Also trained in Integral Somatic Psychology, ACT-Matrix, Coherence Therapy, and Embodied Archetypes, I integrate these modalities with a deep understanding of the transpersonal into a flexible, resonantly attuned, here-and-now way of working. I offer a free initial 50-minute consultation to give us both enough time, with no expectations or pressure, to decide whether we want to try working together.

I can guide you toward improving your sex life and experiencing deeper intimacy and pleasure. My style is practical and future-focused, where, each session, we work on small shifts that can be made to help the bigger changes feel more attainable. I am the least judgmental person you've ever met, and I go out of my way to help clients feel safe to open up about the more difficult topics. I choose to be a coach and not a therapist because it allows me more flexibility in treatment modality, but I have an extensive background and credentials in studying sexuality and relationships.

Thanks for checking out my profile :) ....... My path to social work began with the curiosity to better understand my own body/brain and learn ways to live more fully. Through my research and practice, I discovered a deep passion for supporting others along the same path toward wellness that I'm traveling.
