Therapists in Washington County, VT

Are you struggling to find your place within your community or within yourself? Together we can seek out clarity, navigate transition, and strengthen relationships. Our therapeutic work centers around creating a deeper understanding of self, diving into your beliefs and values, and the cycles we play out in relationships with others.

Through over twenty years of experience I have come to realize the importance of true, meaningful client based relationships in order to help individuals find answers to difficult life challenges. Using an eclectic style firmly based in Motivational Enhancement and Cognitive Behavioral therapies, I strive to help my clients find meaning in their lives from within. Life is hard. Challenges never cease. Finding solid solutions that work, for personal issues is key to navigating the ups and downs we all face every day.

I bring to my practice 11 years of experience with adults and children who encounter anxiousness, depressive moods, worry, stress, ADHD challenges, behavioral issues, relational conflicts, challenging life transitions and trauma. Together we will work towards personal growth to help you heal from past difficult experiences, gain self awareness, and explore what is important to you in building a meaningful life. I work with people of all genders, sexualities, and socioeconomic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. My warmth and curiosity help me collaborate with you, so that you get what you want from our sessions.

My counseling approach is based on the belief that everyone can benefit from support and listening. I strive to provide a warm and comfortable environment, making use of humor, silence, and empathy. Research shows that the best indicator of counseling success is the strength of the counseling relationship, and to that end, we will begin our work by building the relationship foundation together.

Depression, anxiety, and despair invite us to seek out deeper connections and growth. The intimacy that develops in the therapeutic relationship is different from what passes for communication in most peoples' daily lives. In the I and Thou, of genuine therapy, there is no barrier. The goal is to be able to totally see and to be seen. Pretense, persona, the need to impress, many aspects of false perception all fall away. There are no barriers. It is a way of healing soul sickness that is challenging to both therapist and patient while at the same time being effective and fulfilling. Join me for an initial exploratory meeting.

I have limited availability for a few new clients. Sometimes we may feel stuck. Sometimes life can become overwhelming. Sometimes we have deep emotional wounds that have long limited our ability to experience peace, joy, fulfillment, connection, and love. Sometimes we just need someone to listen, be supportive, and offer another perspective. According to Kristin Neff, "The only way to eventually free ourselves from debilitating pain is to be with it as it is. The only way out is through." I hope to offer you this space to alleviate suffering and increase self-compassion, in order to help you more effectively manage life's stressors.

My passion comes from helping people move past the losses and traumas of their past and into a rich and full life. Trauma and the losses we experience in life can wound us on every level - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. My desire is to see you pick up the pieces and create a beautiful life beyond the struggle of grief, anxiety, postpartum difficulties, infertility, disordered eating, childhood abuse, and other painful life events. My approach is one of compassion, honesty, and a little bit of sass - to help you rediscover a life of passion, beauty, joy, fulfillment, and empowerment.

Effective counseling can assist you in developing an awareness of personal strengths, clarifying problems and arriving at solutions. Your active involvement is an important component in changing behavior, thoughts and feelings. I currently have a wait list but please email me if you would like to be on my wait list.

My name is Zelorie, for the past eight years, I have been serving at-risk youth with mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs, as well as, working to help equip parents with tools and insight to navigate the challenges of parenting. In addition to working with at risk youth I have worked with many individuals struggling with anxiety and past traumas.

I love to help people who want to grow. You may sense that your anxiety or depression or relationship troubles are signs of things you don't yet know about yourself, opportunities for personal growth you’ve postponed. If you’re at this crossroads; if you recognize that something has held you back; if you’re ready to dig in and work hard; if you want to be more effective and creative in your work, more relaxed and intimate in your relationships; then we could be a good fit.

I received my masters degree in social work from New York University in 1987. I practice psychotherapy with a combined perspective of psychodynamic, insight-oriented and cognitive/behavioral techniques. I see psychotherapy as a means to explore the connections between past and present relationships, experiences, and emotional states, for the purpose of creating life changes. I focus upon the relationship between therapist and patient as the catalyst for this self-awareness and growth, creating the foundation for addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, life transitions, attachment issues, and parenting concerns.

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.

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.

Our natural state is wellness. Yet many of us feel sick in our souls. Empty and discouraged, we seek creative bandaids to contain our despair : pursuits of money, relationships, sex, achievement, adventure, good works, productivity. Even health practices can become compulsive activities that fail to mend a persistent sense of inner broken-ness. Mindful Psychotherapy cultivates inherent wellness in the midst of life difficulty and opens the potential for real and lasting change. I am now honored to offer Mindfulness for couples as a certified Dialogue Therapist, a powerful time limited intervention : https://young-eisendrath.com/d

Special interest and training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples and Individual Therapy).

I love what I do because I am privileged you chose me to partner with you on your journey. I do talk therapy and play therapy. For youth I describe my therapy as like we were in a cafe just chatting.
