Therapists in Putnam County, NY

My goal is to help you feel less alone and overwhelmed by the challenges life can present .I have over 30 years experience in helping people recognize their strengths and ultimately improve their self-esteem and day to day functioning.

Have you wondered if therapy can be helpful to your adolescent or young adult? I offer a complimentary phone consultation to discuss any questions you may have. You can talk to me about anything; nothing you tell me will shock or surprise me. I can help your child become their own therapist by learning techniques and coping strategies to work through the challenges in their lives. I work well with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, social issues, learning issues, attention deficit disorder, and body image issues. Clients often see a reduction in symptoms and improved well-being early on in therapy.

I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help for life's obstacles. In my practice, my goal is to help my clients become experts on themselves. Every end is a new beginning. If you're challenged with relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, a trauma history, depression, anxiety or have a child or an adolescent who is struggling with behavioral issues, or just looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation and looking to move in a new direction, I encourage you to let me help you with your experiences. I am dedicated to getting to the root of stuck patterns. There are techniques out there!

My focus as a therapist is helping you understand and embrace your own identity and your own values. There is powerful strength in being yourself, and we can discover that strength together. My expertise is particularly in working with body image and eating disorders, with people who have or wish to be evaluated for autism and/or ADHD, with people experiencing self-injury or suicidal ideation, and with people who have "treatment-resistant" or severe anxiety and depression. I partner with patients who want to understand themselves on a deep level, while simultaneously offering concrete skills and tools to alleviate current symptoms.

I help clients who have a long history of trauma, grief, and loss, experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in their symptoms using Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and an attachment-based, somatic approach to psychotherapy. I use trauma informed care to support you and will work with you to process emotions and address feelings of shame, anger and sadness so that you can better know and accept yourself. I will help you get in touch with your authentic self.

Real inner change begins with a conversation with a compassionate, caring other. In connection there is growth. As a relational therapist I listen attentively without agenda or judgment, with the goal of helping you understand yourself and your life story better. Whether your roadblocks are connected to your internal world of thoughts and feelings or external system of relationships, career and family, I am committed to understanding you in terms of your own experience. For over 15 years, I have helped children, adolescents, adults and families experience life with a greater sense of personal agency, ease, clarity and choice.

I provide traditional talk therapy and art therapy. Oftentimes it can be difficult to discern what exactly we are feeling, but I find that recognizing the way emotions present themselves in our bodies can help anchor our understanding and process confusing experiences. Sometimes feelings can be so overwhelming that the idea of putting them into words feels impossible, but through therapy we can do it together. I work through a trauma-informed lens and focus on collaboratively fostering a sense of safety, empowerment, human connection, and a sense of agency.

My practice as a psychotherapist prioritizes creating an unconditionally accepting space where you are free to explore your truest self. With postgraduate training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), I work with adults, couples, and adolescents using an integrated trauma-informed approach. My clients describe me as warm, real, thoughtful, and engaged.

Welcome. I am dedicated to creating meaningful change on an individual level with every client.

I'm a psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults, specializing in loss, trauma and family issues, in English and Spanish. I use integrative, strengths and evidenced-based therapy. I believe that humans are inherently wired for resilience. In particular contexts, our once healthy coping skills may prevent us from returning to our adaptive core. In therapy, I urge patients to learn to experience and tolerate emotions, access instinctive coping capacities and build a flexible mindset. This method allows patients to uncover strengths, and deepen their sense of hope, leading lives filled with vitality and exuberance.

My priority in therapy is to help you better understand your emotions and what drives them, in order to make decisions that align with who you are. As a child of immigrants, I understand the challenging experience of growing up with social and parental pressures that contradict each other. For this reason, I thoroughly enjoy working with South Asian and POC adolescents and adults who have had similar challenges in navigating life amidst various external expectations. If you are grappling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship challenges, or uncertainty in making significant life decisions, I am here to help you through it!
