Therapists in Saint Albans Bay, VT

My work as an Emotional Support Life Coach is enhanced by my background in psychotherapy and nursing. It brings a progressive approach to self-healing. Using a myriad of techniques including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Reiki and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, I work with individuals and families to identify personal strengths locked behind negative energy. I work to empower others to discover their truth, harmonize personal healing and define a positive pathway to life-long happiness. I specialize in treating trauma due to abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and difficult relationships.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.

I am here as a support for clients to unload whatever may be going on in their lives. Throughout our therapeutic relationship, we will develop and work towards goals that will essentially lead to living a happier, healthier life, whatever that may look like to each individual client. Feeling comfortable, calm, relaxed and at ease throughout the therapeutic process is very important in session with me as your therapist. More often than not life can become overwhelming and complicated. We as children and adults may benefit from developing skills and implementing those or simply just emptying some of the load of our daily lives.

Therapy with me is collaborative- we will work together to accomplish your goals. I pride myself on creating a comfortable, approachable and space for you to process life's challenges. Your time with me is your one hour out of your busy week to slow down, tune everything else out, and focus on your growth. I'll guide you along the way, following a person-centered and strengths-based approach. I combine evidence-based practices with an energetic, inviting and fun dynamic to support you through your journey. Therapy shouldn't be boring, intimidating, awkward or uptight. With me, therapy will be the bright spot of your week!

I'm dedicated to helping you unlock the potential within yourself and embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and personal growth. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the expert in your own life journey. Together, we'll forge a partnership guided by your unique needs, values, and aspirations. I'm here to support and empower you, offering guidance and insights along the way. At the heart of effective counseling is the establishment of a strong, trusting, and secure client-therapist relationship. This is where our work begins.

I provide a safe and comfortable place for my clients to express themselves and find a caring and supportive therapist who will come alongside them in their struggles. My clients come in for support around challenges including: sadness and depressed mood, grief and loss, low self confidence, stress or anxiety, medical and health struggles, being a caregiver, relationship troubles, parenting, family and life transitions (examples: divorce, going off to college, beginning a new job, moving)

If you are an individual that is motivated, desiring change and healing, or just seeking a good mental health checkup knowing you are on the path you embrace, you will find a good fit with me. My style is compassionate but direct. Do you appreciate openness, straightforward communication, thoughtful questions, humor, and building a strong working relationship? I will be supportive and challenge you to be the best you. I will offer a deep understanding with human life struggles especially trauma, grief, and tragedy. Every part of self is important: emotional, intellectual, psychological and spiritual. A safe space is created.

Hello! Not accepting new clients at this time. Services available for Psychotherapists: Clinical Supervision (individual and group), Consultations, Trainings and Seminars. Licensure hours and CEU's available for LCMHC, LicSW and LMFT. Supervision and training for supervisors is also available.

I specialize in couples therapy because I am passionate about developing connections, improving communication, and understanding with ourselves and our partner(s). I have experience working with couples struggling with healthy, effective communication, healing attachment wounds, improving their physical, emotional, and mental connections, working through infidelity, becoming new parents, coping with life stressors together, and maintaining healthy relationships. In sessions, we practice empathy and communication, identify negative patterns, and develop strategies that lead towards the relationship you desire.

I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families who are struggling with anxiety and relational turmoil. My approach differs slightly based on the presenting problem. In treating anxiety we will take a close look at the thought processes that inform it. We will then tailor treatment to your situation. When relational turmoil is the presenting concern, we will look at the relational patterns across the span of your life, and explore how these patterns are manifesting in the present. We'll then explore pathways to relational security and empowerment.

Are you going through difficult times in your personal or professional life? Do you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship, or divorce issues? You are not alone. Many people face these challenges and they can affect your happiness, health, and productivity. But there is hope. You can overcome them and live a fulfilling life.

The ideal clients I am reaching out to are interested in participating in teletherapy, either individually or as couples. Due to a number of breaking developments, I have decided to convert my long-running practice to online therapy. I have professional counseling licenses in Vermont, MIssouri, and Illinois. I work from Missouri. Furthermore, I am seeking clients who prefer to work outside of the insurance system. I am rebooting my practice to offer high-qualify and affordable therapy. If you are interested, all you would need is Skype or Zoom (both are free downloads). I am offering 45 minute sessions for $90.

September Sessions Available. What is most important to you in this one precious life? What are ways your thoughts, speech and actions help align or make discordant your life goals? What are ways you find calm and safety? What are the ways your body communicates? These are some questions we explore together as we navigate the landscape of what it is to be alive, right here, right now. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Integration Therapy. I am a certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider.

Life’s many challenges can leave us feeling powerless, out of control, and stuck in unhealthy patterns. Our wellbeing is also affected by social and cultural factors beyond our control, such as restrictive gender roles, rigid social norms, and systemic oppression. Therapy can help you gain insight on both the internal patterns and the external pressures affecting your mental health, and it can open you up to different ways of thinking, behaving, and responding to the world.

I am an experienced therapist who welcomes individuals and couples who want to find relief and overcome barriers that prevent them from feeling fulfilled. I specialize in working with anxiety, panic disorders, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, self-esteem issues as well as trauma.

Currently only accepting clients for extended session/intensive trauma work. As a therapist, I believe everyone is capable of fulfilling their true authentic self and realizing their maximum potential. The therapeutic relationship can serve as a catalyst for this change and my role as a therapist is to partner with you on this journey and to offer support and guidance. My experience is in working with adults with complex trauma. I believe the core condition of being human is forming relationships and we experience dysfunction and unhappiness when we experience disconnection.

Do you feel discouraged, anxious, or just unable to feel better? Do you ever get stuck in your thoughts or worry that you aren't good enough? Experiencing conflict in your relationship? Struggling with adoption issues? Have a family member with special needs? Life presents us with many challenges that can be overwhelming. My priority as a therapist is to provide you with a caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where your strengths, unrecognized needs, and goals can be realized. I work with clients on creating meaningful connections, improving self-esteem and confidence, self-care, and achieving overall well-being.
