Therapists in Clinton Corners, NY

At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

My passion is helping children, adolescents, and young adults lead happier, more enjoyable lives, and enabling their families to experience harmony and joy in their homes.

I also provide support for parents and caregivers during their parenting journey.

I offer compassionate support to those facing mood disorders, existential issues, sexuality, family issues, spirituality concerns, life path issues, trauma, anxiety, and a range of psychological and personal challenges. I seek to connect with clients in a patient and exploratory manner, providing insight and relief for those who seek it.

I am based out of Infinity Mental Health Counseling in New Paltz and offer in-person sessions, telehealth, and hiking therapy. I work with teens (16+) and adults of all ages.

Discussing the challenges you've been through is a vulnerable place, but also one that can be full of growth and clarity. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with some of life's big transitions. I utilize an integrative approach to create a safe, trauma informed space to build regulation skills, communication skills, and process trauma. I have a background in working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, college students, and children in foster care birth to 21. Trauma and transitions are each taxing in their own profound ways, but each can lead to change. I'm here to hold that space with you.

I am a counselor and licensed psychotherapist working with teens, young adults, and men and women of all ages struggling with the devaluation of self, depression, anxiety, anger, eating disordered behaviors, substance abuse, and life transitions. My approaches include psychodynamic (connecting the painful past with current problems), cognitive(reframing negative beliefs) and a solution focused therapy, at all times building on the unique strengths of each client. I also practice EMDR - a technique designed to alleviate distress by accessing deep-rooted thoughts and feelings that need resolution.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy, consultation, and forensic assessments.

Is your child’s thinking, feeling, or behavior negatively affecting their ability to fully engage in life? I help children and families identify challenge areas and provide support through offering individual sessions for children, family-based sessions, and parent-focused sessions.

A clinical psychologist for over thirty years, I am devoted to helping people of all ages resolve the problems that stand in the way of a satisfying life. Difficulty forming and maintaining close, interpersonal relationships and/or anxieties related to school or work are typical reasons for seeking treatment. I create a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere that allows for the open and honest expression of any and all thoughts and feelings Using the "talking cure”, together, we attempt to get to the bottom of the problem and work it through so that life can get back on track and personal goals can be met.

How many of us want to change those dysfunctional parts of ourselves and the often accompanying sadness, anger, and anxiety but find we run into a wall over and over? Whether in intimate relationships, in friendships, in collegial relationships, or those with our family members, the familiar patterns continue to create distress and often a sense of failure. We can then find ourselves repeating destructive scenarios. I have had success in challenging these unhealthy patterns leading clients to be more present and emotionally honest in all of their relationships.

If you or your child are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, school problems, life transitions, adoption or attachment related issues, impacts of trauma, or depression, I'm listening. There is hope and a way forward. I offer a safe, supportive space to deepen self-awareness, build empowerment, and identify and alleviate sources of distress or pain to create positive, lasting change. I welcome and work with clients from all backgrounds and enjoy working with students, adults, creative types, and people of color. I also specialize in working with adoptees and their families as I am personally connected to adoption.

I help people to resolve life’s struggles and transform via the creative process. Life's stressors can sometimes induce emotional tension, physical problems and other related symptoms. This impairs our ability to function at our full potential . The purpose of psychotherapy is to provide a comfortable, safe setting where issues are clearly assessed and a plan for resolution is established. As a knowledgable clinician, I provide the best opportunity for successfully accomplishing this goal.

While change is difficult, it is never too late! My clients have ranged in age through 97. I see both individuals and families dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues. I am warm, encouraging, a strong motivator, and honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. To that end, I try to tailor my methods to the individual needs of the client - utilizing psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy modes. As a feature of my practice, I make house calls to elderly or infirm clients in my local area.
