Female Therapists in Victor, NY

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to create a space that is warm, safe, and collaborative. I work with individuals who want to improve their quality of life by exploring areas that may be causing them stress (e.g., grief, identity, depression, anxiety, life transitions etc.). We would also talk about how these stressors may be related to their current or past relationships, whether it be family, friends, children, partners and/or peers. I consider my approach to be direct and open, as well as compassionate and flexible.

Welcome! You have already taken the first step to feeling better by reaching out for support. I know it isn't easy and I am here to help. I believe that you have what it takes to get through what life puts in front of you. Sometimes we just need help accessing the tools and inner strength, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and different ways of approaching problems in a caring, supportive, non-judgemental environment.

I have been doing therapy for 40 years. My client age range is generally 18 and over. Working with mindfulness meditation and cognitive therapy is important. Also, I bring aspects of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual into my work with clients - for a holistic approach - treating the whole person. My practice was located in Geneva, NY from 1989 until 2016. In 2016, I decided to change my office location closer to my home area of Canandaigua.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** Maybe you thought what you're struggling with would just go away, get better with time or disappear if you ignored it long enough and it hasn't. You might be feeling sad, anxious, alone, stressed, worried, misunderstood or overwhelmed. Or you're dealing with something or someone that's really stressful. Perhaps you want something different for yourself or your son/daughter, but you're feeling lost, unsure how to do it or stuck. It may be time to talk to someone on the outside to get a clearer sense of what's going on.

All people and families strive for happiness and loving connectedness. All of us have an innate capacity to heal. As a Child & Family Therapist and Art Therapist, I assist children and families in healing, enhancing growth, family cohesiveness, and increasing the family's ability to weather life's stressors. Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, art therapy and play therapy techniques, family members are able to expand their capacity for healing, and happiness. I see children ages 3 to 18 years of age, families, and adults. My work has been described as engaging, playful, interactive, humorous, and gentle.

Core Energetics is a dynamic system for personal growth, healing, and transformation. Together we work to unblock your innate life force through the use of movement, breath, voice, and other techniques. You gain greater understanding of what makes you tick. This understanding opens up more choices about what you create in your life. When your energy is blocked, your body and personality suffer. When your energy is flowing, long standing patterns shift. You have more clarity, purpose, pleasure.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, sad or just overwhelmed with life in general? Are you having negative thoughts that seem to be on repeat? Once you walk into my office you are no longer alone with your thoughts and feelings. Together we will get you back on track and feeling your absolute best. I create a safe, caring non-judgemental space for you to explore and talk about what you are feeling and then together we remove your personal obstacles that have been holding you back and improve your overall well being.

Finding the perfect therapist, much like finding the perfect pair of jeans, can be both an exciting and daunting task. Finding the right fit is crucial to building a strong and successful working relationship. As a licensed mental health counselor, it is my goal to help establish a warm and empathic environment that fits you and/or your partner/family to explore your concerns and work to accomplish your goals. I work with a variety of clients tackling relational issues or seeking deep understanding of themselves. I specialize in LGBTQ+ informed treatment, couples counseling & sexual and intimacy-based concerns.

Whether you're grappling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, navigating life's challenges, or feeling trapped in old habits, therapy offers a supportive space to unravel your struggles and rediscover your true self. I help my clients discover their inner calm and navigate the everyday challenges they face. I believe in empowering my clients to embrace their strengths. My approach is solution-focused, rooted in compassion, and centered on harnessing your strengths. I'm here to provide a sanctuary where you feel seen, heard, and understood — a space for you to chart your unique path forward with authenticity.

Do you think of the worst case scenario, people say "you worry too much", or you can't stop your mind from racing? Are you having difficulty sleeping, focusing, or getting through your day? I would like to support you in managing symptoms of anxiety and taking back your life! Utilizing a Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral approach, I promote autonomy, increased self-awareness and resiliency to manage daily life, as well as it's many stressors.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

During this difficult time, we can all use extra support.. I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 13 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are and provide support and strategies to guide them to achieving their therapeutic goals. I am currently accepting new patients and have several slots available at this time. However, I am now only able to offer telehealth (video or phone). Email only for new client inquiries please, and please check insurance information below before contacting- all accepted insurances listed.

If you are unfamiliar with marriage and family therapy, be assured that you don't have to be married or bring your family to therapy! Marriage and family therapists help individuals, couples, & families to view things from a systemic approach. This means how family behaviors, including our extended family, community, and other meaningful relationships, influence mental health. My experience includes assisting individuals, couples, and families suffering from trauma, sexual abuse, child and adult ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and adults.

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Life is hard, bad things happen & sometimes you just need somebody to help you sort it all out. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you work through the hard stuff. In my 11 years as a therapist I have helped my clients; reduce their anxiety, improve their relationships, process grief and loss, find healing from trauma, and more effectively manage & cope with the ongoing stressors of daily life. I feel so strongly about your resilience and capacity to overcome what you are going through and to truly thrive!

If you are overwhelmed, confused, hurt and/or just need support we are here for you. For over 20 years, we have helped couples, families & individuals achieve health & healing & it would be an honor to help you. Most clients are stuck in unhealthy patterns that create & maintain distance & emotional pain. Often communication is about defending instead of understanding. We work to create safety so clients can have the connection they desire. We help our clients heal the pain & resentment, while creating healthy patterns that allows each person to be their authentic self. We are open to all people who are seeking growth & stability.

Adolescents, teens, and young adults struggling with trauma, environmental stressors, familial dysfunction, and relationship problems are my primary focus. They often require a significant amount of validation and support, someone to just listen to them, and help them to feel a human connection. Their goals would be to become autonomous and independent, while creating healthy boundaries with those they cherish and love, creating the ultimate goal of putting themselves first in a way that is not selfish, but also not selfless.

I currently have limited evening availability but my daytime availability is still good. Most adults I know struggle with their mental health on a day-to-day basis and get stuck in a rut because they don't know what will help. We all have mental health concerns that impact different aspects of our lives, but thankfully you aren't alone and you can get help! If you need assistance breaking out of old negative patterns, guidance on communicating with your loved ones, or figuring out the next right step, I may be able to help.

I feel very blessed to have witnessed healing and growth in many, many clients throughout my career. I believe that counseling is a partnership between the client and therapist to achieve symptom relief and personal growth. I have over twenty years of experience with a significant focus in the area of child abuse and neglect (with both children and adult survivors). Many times, what "happened to you" results in the common stress reactions of anxiety and depression. Whatever brings you to the counseling process, I respect your bravery and willingness to change.
