In Person Therapists in Barre, VT

My goal in all my work with all my different clients is to help them better understand themselves, their lives and their struggles. With honesty, compassion, warmth, humor and respect, as well as my own insights and knowledge gained from my work and my life, I help people more fully become who they wish to be. Whether their issues are behavioral, emotional, relational or involving more specific challenges, I use different strategies from different disciplines to assist my clients in reaching their goals.

Over the years, I have recognized that each of us has a wisdom that resides within.This wisdom within our mind/body system holds the solution. We are designed for balance- yes, we do get off-balance. I will help you understand what your body/mind is attempting to communicate. It is often a simple process. We all have beliefs that originate from our culture, our society, and our family. Some beliefs are helpful, some are not. It is our beliefs that guide our behavior. Beliefs are the 'fuel' that move us. We will discover the 'outdated' beliefs.

*** I am currently unable to accept new clients *** Are you struggling with some aspect of your life? You are not alone. We all experience times in our lives where we feel stuck, lost, or challenged, but there is hope. I provide a safe, unconditionally accepting, warm and caring environment where we will work together to bring healing to what troubles you. I value and respect each persons individuality, and my goal is to help you to find your way to where you want to be. I believe in the innate goodness of people, and that each person is capable of meaningful personal insight and growth.

Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and mental health crises may all manifest as means of focusing our attention on the need for change. At such times, these challenges present themselves as guideposts to opportunities for finding a different path.

The goal of therapy is to help people rediscover their strengths and talents, often blocked or underdeveloped, so they can be happier and more fulfilled. Since 1987, my counseling practice has specialized in enhancing creativity and helping people overcome addictions. I work with professional artists seeking support on their path and with all people who have a desire to explore personal creativity in their lives. Through compassionate listening and a focus on connecting mind and body, I encourage people to develop a greater awareness of the present moment, their body's signals, thoughts, feelings and the needs that arise.

As a Solution Focused Therapist, I help my clients find the patterns in their lives that have hindered their ability to imagine and achieve the life they desire. I offer many different approaches, including Traditional Talk Therapy using Solution Focus and CBT, as well as more interactive creative approaches, including Expressive Arts Therapies. My style is open and interactive as I guide and educate clients to explore new options for responding (not reacting) to life's challenges.

Too much stress with juggling too many things right now? Are you experiencing a life-changing event and decisions are keeping you awake at night? Do you feel your life is a roller coaster of emotions that you are having difficulty managing? If you want to live life on your terms without self-doubt or second-guessing, love yourself more & feel more confident there's hope. As the expert of your life there are times you might need extra help to reclaim those parts of you that have been lost or hidden for too long. As your guide I help you reconnect with the inner you who really does know the way to living a healthy and enjoyable life.

I currently have online individual sessions and some limited in person sessions available. Openings range between 9am and 6:30pm. I work collaboratively with clients to process where they are in life, evaluate what their current needs are, and identify what in their past and present could be addressed to make changes towards identified goals. I believe the therapeutic process can only work with dedication and the willingness to allow change. I work with my clients to identify ways that they can bring what we process in session into their everyday life so they have something to work on in between session.

Life is full of emotions, sometimes its joy but sometimes its a sense of struggling and pain. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship/marital problems can all add to this sense of struggling. Especially, when we aren't well equipped to withstand it. Sometimes that struggle feels like this heavy cloud or mask we walk around with. Sometimes that struggle isolates us and causes us to become disconnected from ourselves or our loved ones. Playing tug of war with that struggle only makes it more draining.

I help struggling children, teenagers, and adults to overcome their obstacles and reach their underlying potentials. By building connection, improving communication, and generating meaning, I help individuals to experience their lives as more joyful and less stressful. Figuring out the best way to help yourself or your child can be a daunting task, and I am here to help you navigate through that process. We always want to do best for ourselves and our children, and I have seen how, through therapy, we can open the door for amazing transformations to occur.

I am so happy you are here. Are you ready to authentically connect and explore your capacity for change? Whatever brings you to this space, be it stress, relationship concerns, hopelessness, or general feelings of unfulfillment; we will explore the root of these challenges and work together to inspire hope in your life.

Entering a relationship with a therapist can be challenging when life is going well, so I appreciate the additional effort it takes when things aren't easy. I view our work as mutual, a partnership and my style is to be there with you as you explore. I also believe 'the work' is never truly done, but my goal is to give you the skills to continue that work outside of our time together. With couples, this work is complex because there are two histories, two brains, and scars from relationship injuries that need healing as we strengthen that bond.

My focus is on helping clients discover their authentic self and to replace unhelpful behaviors that no longer serve them. I work to help teens, adults, and families learn skills needed to manage anxiety, overcome depression, improve communication, and implement new ways of managing stress rather than turning to harmful coping strategies.

You've taken a big step by looking for someone to talk with. Perhaps you're ready to change the cycle of difficult emotions and unhealthy patterns of behavior. I would like to help you challenge what keeps you stuck and support you in making positive changes towards your goal. Life stressors lead to patterns of negative thinking made worse by negative emotions that keep us from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life. Past traumas can alter your coping and block your happiness. Don't go it alone. I am ready to be at your side and do the hard work you know needs to be done.

Hi, I’m Danny. I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC), and I have over 17 years of counseling experience. I put my master’s degree in counseling and my toolkit from my life’s winding path to use for clients who are curious about their own mental and emotional wellbeing. There are so many reasons why you might be looking for a therapist right now. The world we live in provides so many opportunities for stress and concern, and just trying to figure out how to cope can feel overwhelming. Sometimes you’re just trying to find a way through the very common feeling of: "I just don't feel right". I’m here to help.

I believe that personal connections are one of the keys to living a fulfilling and satisfying life. My goal through therapy is to develop a relationship of trust and authenticity. My primary focus is to guide you to meet your five basic needs of survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun, all within a safe and comforting environment. People experience distress when these needs are not met and when they are unable to connect with or relate to others in a meaningful way. I will support you through the process of meeting these needs.

I offer psychotherapy and intensive psychotherapy.

I have been serving children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2005 in various therapeutic relationships including case management, psychotherapy, and psychological/neuropsychological evaluations. Carefully designed and well-executed evaluations can identify barriers to success, offer diagnostic clarification and provide a wealth of information to help with school, home, work, and therapeutic interventions. I also provide psychotherapy for various difficulties including ADHD, ASD, behavioral difficulties, trauma-informed (ARC) as well as difficulties with adjustment, peer relationships, and executive functioning.

You are looking for a therapist who can understand you, put you at ease, and help you into a restorative frame of mind. Perhaps you've noticed some increased anxiety, stress, coping habits, or generally unmanageable feelings; if so, I can help. Being in therapy and working on your mental health is a fundamental step in setting yourself on the right trajectory and staying centered during the storms of life.
