Female Therapists in Derby, VT

Welcome! My name is Stefanie; I’m here to provide the holistic, transformative therapy and alcohol and drug abuse counseling you seek. My goal is to be an effective listener, provide a safe space for you to tell your story, express your challenges, needs & goals. I will listen with genuine empathy followed by practical, evidence-based solutions. If you are a woman overcoming addictions, cultivating a new way of life for yourself or even healing old wounds, I will be your therapeutic guide home to yourself, out of an unhealthy time and into a new and vibrant chapter of your life, using a combination of modalities that work for you.

I have treated both adolescents and adults who struggle with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, personality disorders, and behavioral issues. I have spent many years treating those who are incarcerated and those who are re-entering the community and their families.

Have you, a friend/partner/family member experienced a traumatic event - loss of loved one, loss of child, loss of pet, a life-changing event, verbal/emotional/sexual abuse - and need help processing the grief, regaining control of your life, rebuilding your self-confidence/self-esteem? Do you or someone you know have issues with substance use and are seeking assistance in identifying challenges that have kept you or your loved one from breaking through barriers of addiction toward recovery? Are you a youth/family needing help identifying positive communication/coping strategies, managing anger, or identifying triggers of anxiety?

My role in the scope of my practice is being a guide providing a safe, empathetic, and no judgement space for us to work together as we find the right path for you to follow. I believe in a balanced life style connecting the mind with the body while making sure your basic needs are met. I find working together on issues related to trauma, abandonment, attachment, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and transitioning from one life experience to the next, very rewarding. I have experience with children, families, youth, teenagers, adults and the aging population.

I believe everyone deserves a judgement-free space to discover and explore all they are. I provide an eclectic client-centered approach to therapy that is deeply rooted in feministic theory and strengths-based approaches. I help (re)build self-worth, empower, and guide you to your true self. I encourage looking at life from various perspectives in order to fully understand how you can grow and become who you desire to be. I have experience navigating relationships and the unique issues within the gaming, pop culture, and geek/nerd communities. I use essential oil blends, if this is an issue, let me know PRIOR to scheduling.

My goal is to provide a warm and supportive environment which will help you gain new insights to the challenges you may be experiencing. We will seek to understand the origins of these challenges, and how to navigate through them. I will help you identify clear and achievable goals.

Hello, I am Catherine O'Grady. I am sole owner of Haze Recovery, I have over 15 years of professional and lived experience. Have you been feeling down, or overly anxious? Has it been difficult to stop or continue to stop using? Is it all of those things? Perhaps you are having a difficult time, coming home or back to your community. Let me help!

Hi! If you are struggling with some chronic or temporary difficulties in your life, if you are dealing with trauma, I'm here for you to help. You can meet a safe place on my sessions with no judgment. I know, sometimes simple things for other people are not simple exactly for you. We can make a plan together on how to achieve your goals and feel better.

I will provide a safe and comfortable space for you to explore issues that have caused you difficulties or hindered your goals. Sometimes we are stuck in a situation that requires someone to listen and prompt you to find solutions and sometimes issues are about finding yourself and ways to cope with the world. You are the expert about your needs.

Hello and congratulations on taking the first step toward improving your health and well-being! I have spent the past 15+ years helping people with mental health and substance use disorders set and reach their goals in terms of finding sense of peace and balance in their lives. I would like to help you learn skills to allow you to become empowered to take back control of your own life and walk with you on your recovery journey. Together we will assess your strengths, needs and wants and collaboratively develop a treatment plan to help you set and reach achievable goals.

Your experiences are unique, and your strengths can be harnessed to navigate challenging events. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space to achieve your well-being goals. We can engage with any aspect of human development or well-being components you wish to explore, including but not limited to mental health, communication, self-awareness, social-emotional learning, educational empowerment, and cognitive development.

Even in the best of times, life transitions can feel overwhelming. Anxiety may feel unmanageable, or depressive symptoms may have you feeling "stuck." Our past experiences shape who we are and how we interact with the world, and those patterns may not serve us anymore. All parents struggle from time to time, and teens are under more pressure than ever these days, making coping as a teen or a parent of a teen difficult at times. The past years with COVID may have changed your perspective on life, or altered your priorities.

Veronica King, PhD is a licensed Clinical Psychologist. DGE Psychological Services P.C. is a group she opened to provide services for adults, couples, and families with a wide range of mental health issues. The practice also includes SAP evaluations for those who are employed by a DOT regulated agency.

For many of us, simply talking about our challenges is not enough. Our traumas live in our bodies. Muscle tension reveals how we have adapted around painful memories, emotions, and beliefs. Tension in the body has helped us cope, but now may limit our breath, relationships, and our full sense of aliveness. Rosen Method Bodywork is an integrative somatic modality that uses both touch and talk to grow awareness of how and what we are holding. As the unconscious becomes conscious, memories and emotions often arise for us to be with and support. I am now offering discounted Rosen Method Bodywork sessions as I work toward certification.

I have a focus on providing collaborative support within a framework of social justice and a strong belief that each person has everything they need within them and sometimes we all lose touch with these things and could use some outside support to discover our answers. I view my role as a therapist as the bridge to the answers within that may be difficult to see. I believe that the context of our lives is important to understanding our experiences.

Accepting new patients- My therapy style is flexible and client-centered. I believe that therapy is successful when the client-therapist relationship is strong and the treatment approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client. I have found that the ability to apply different theories and to take an approach that ensures the best possible therapeutic outcome.
