Humanistic Therapists in Walden, NY
Depending on the client, I use an eclectic approach that varies from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), humanistic and interpersonal counseling theories.
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.

I am a trauma-certified psychotherapist and practice a number of modalities including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and humanistic therapy.
Feeling hopeless and anxious? Lost control of your life? Traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety steal your focus, impede your goals, and create constant distress. Can't shake that feeling of dread? It’s nearly impossible to find joy in the moment if you’re always waiting for your worst fears to be realized. Living a productive and meaningful life is possible once you conquer the obstacles that have plagued you for so long. Therapy takes courage but you can find peace and tranquility. What’s holding you back from living the life you truly want?

My approach is person-centered and humanistic, recognizing the unique challenges and strengths each person brings with them to therapy.
I work with clients who have varying struggles from anxiety, body image, depression and life transitions. Our daily struggles are held within our body and impact everything from daily functioning, relationships to how we take up space in our environment. As a dance/movement therapist I will utilize body based interventions (ex. breathing, imagery and metaphor) to assist in exploring how your body holds onto symptoms. Through the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit you can explore how to shift to allow daily life to become more manageable and enjoyable.

My approach to treatment is eclectic, incorporating CBT and Humanistic therapy amongst others.

My approach is very humanistic.
I believe I was born a therapist. Caring and understanding others have always been natural parts of me. I believe each of us is born with the inner guidance to grow into the best version of ourselves. But there are many challenges along the way that interfere with that process. Childhood trauma, loss and painful circumstances, make us doubt and lose sight of our inner guidance. We begin to unconsciously work against ourselves; the result is pain in the form of emotional distress, unhealthy choices and hurtful relationships. But we have the ability and even an obligation to ourselves and family to heal and rediscover our true selves.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
