Therapists in 05404

As humans, we crave connection and community, but it can sometimes feel difficult to achieve in our everyday lives. We find ourselves looking for different supports, seeking to better understand ourselves, our experiences, and our interactions with the world around us. You are made up of so many different parts and I believe in the importance of seeing and acknowledging all of those pieces. Sometimes we can be told - directly or indirectly - that we hold a singular role, so we may find ourselves trying to fit in a mold that does not hold all the pieces we value about ourselves.

Each person experiences mental distress uniquely. My aim is to partner with my client to ensure their safety in our shared space, create a bond of trust, and then dive into problems and solutions. Whether one experiences identity- or event-based problems and whether those are caused by individual development or social conditions, I strongly believe in the innate ability of trusting partnerships to overcome the troubles in our lives. If I'm not the right therapist for a person, I will work hard to keep them safe until they decide how to move forward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for over 25 years. Currently, my practice is dedicated to neurofeedback. Years of working as a therapist inform my work and lead to a deep understanding of various diagnoses, symptoms and how these impact people's lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing as a therapist since 2015. I currently work in private practice with Insight Therapeutic Services. I have served in a variety of settings including non profit agencies, inpatient and residential treatment, crisis intervention programs, school settings, as well as private practice. I am passionate about strengths-based, trauma-informed counseling for children, adolescents, and adults in a comfortable and welcoming private practice setting. I am currently providing services via telecounseling.

I'm AuDHD, queer, and non-binary and looking to work with folx at the Auti x trans/genderqueer intersection. Many folx at this intersection find it hard to get an "official" diagnosis because DSM criteria is based off of a voyeuristic interpretation of Autism that does not take gender, culture, race, and class into consideration. Autism is a neurotype that looks differently in each person, and genderqueer/trans folx are more likely to be Autistic and be underdiagnosed. I'm here to support you in unmasking, understanding how your brain-body works, how trauma may intersect with your neurodivergence.

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.

I have enjoyed helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), addiction/alcoholism in the family, couples, self-esteem, dissociation, and attachment issues. I offer EVIDENCE BASED PSYCHOTHERAPY to individuals, couples and groups as a licensed psychologist since 1991. Expertise: INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY (IFS), PHASE ORIENTED TRAUMA TREATMENT, EMDR, 12 STEP work. My Aussie, Smudge works with me. She can be a source of comfort and kindness. I would be happy to speak with you. Outside of work, I am a mom and wife; artist and gardener; meditator, and do my own psychotherapy.

I offer consultations, psychotherapy, and intensive psychoanalysis. An initial consultation will allow an investigation into the possibility of working together.

Change can be hard sometimes, but also rewarding and empowering. I am always honored to be a part of each client’s change process. Our collaborative work will focus on your hopes, goals, and the tools you already have to help you achieve them. We will identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and work to restructure them to your benefit.

As a clinical social worker, I believe that we all have unique strengths and capacities to face the challenges in our lives. I work with my clients in a collaborative, empowering way. Through the therapy process, solutions and plans to move forward reveal themselves, as you grow more confident in your strengths, intuition and your vision for your life. Working with the stories and thoughts we carry about ourselves and the world, we work to create new ideas, beliefs and behaviors that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

I provide a safe, confidential space for our work together. Each person seeks a therapist for their own personal reasons. Whether you feel stuck at an impasse, want more satisfying relationships, or seek freedom from difficult patterns- no matter your struggle, having a place to think and talk about what is bothering you may help. The outcome of therapy is unpredictable, though it often results in a greater sense of well-being and eases internal conflict. Together we can seek to understand what is going on and explore possibilities not previously considered.

My practice is built on a foundation of resilience, understanding and empowerment with a broader focus on life transitions and adjustments, grief & loss and mixed forms of depression and anxiety. Together, we'll spend our time collaboratively focused on promoting growth, self-awareness and building upon the existing strengths that you have. Through gentle humor and straightforward dialogue, my clinical style leans towards the interactive and follows a strengths-based approach. I believe that curiosity and self-reflection are critical in evolving towards a healthier and happier future.

I’m a firm believer that everybody has the internal resources to live an authentic and fulfilling life. Sometimes, we have experiences that makes it challenging to access those resources, or our coping strategies that once worked well are no longer serving their purpose. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that is non-judgmental and safe, ultimately helping clients find insight into their lives.

LEAVE AN EMAIL IN ADDITION TO A PHONE. NOTE MY RETURN PHONE CALL WILL COME UP AS PRIVATE, ANONYMOUS, OR UNLISTED. I help people overcome their addictions, manage anger, depression, and anxiety, and cope with trauma. I offer guidance to those who have family addicted to drugs or alcohol. I am dedicated to improving quality of life for people. I routinely go far above and beyond expectations. I am respectful but very direct and straightforward.

Sometimes life is complicated, stressful, and can feel overwhelming, especially in today's world. When interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, or mental health challenges present themselves it is comforting to know that you don't have to sit with all of that by yourself. Connecting with someone and working on life's difficulties, whether it be old wounds or new, can be liberating and empowering. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions; together we can work on the difficult and rewarding work of being the best version of yourself you can be.

I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I work to develop a trusting relationship with each individual based on acceptance, understanding and mutual respect. Since I have expertise in a variety of treatment approaches, I can collaborate with each individual or family to provide treatment that aligns with the individual or family goals and needs. The process of healing and growth often involves gaining more understanding of oneself and one's family, learning how to draw on existing strengths and resources, gaining confidence, and/or learning new skills.

Feeling lost, worn out, or disconnected from your authentic self and purpose? As someone in the queer community, I understand first-hand the struggle of finding one’s voice, identity, and stride. With openness, warmth and compassion, I hope to support you as you reconnect to your innate sense of worth, belonging and joy, and discover ways to feel lighter, invigorated and more whole. You are allowed to belong, and I look forward to helping you embody this truth.

*** I am NOT taking new clients at this time*** I am an advance-trained clinical hypnotherapist and LCMHC. I have personally experienced the healing and growth that comes from using clinical hypnotherapy within a supportive therapeutic milieu. I find the accelerated, effective results from clinical hypnosis very impressive and enjoy helping others heal and actualize change with this powerful technique. I approach counseling from a client-centered perspective, meet people where they are at, and help them get to where they want to be without judgement or pressure.

Congratulations! You've just made your next step toward changing something in your life for the better.
