Family Solutions of Westchester, LLC. founder, Innes Frey, uses an innovative, refreshing and short-term therapeutic approach, F.S.T, focusing on the positive reinforcement of solutions to achieve change, providing an exclusive therapeutic environment that is custom tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client - child, couple, or the family.

I am an LCSW who prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment. My goal is to help clients better understand how their life histories and relationships impact their present experience, and then develop concrete strategies for problem-solving. I use a psychodynamic lens and integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to assist with symptoms and improve overall functioning. I enjoy working with those experiencing life transitions, job stressors, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and perinatal mood disorders

My goal for treatment is to provide a safe environment for clients to increase awareness and learn to challenge themselves to make step-by-step changes. Anxiety and depression are many times clues to internal discourse. Whether it's related to a relationship, job, or general life stressors, learning to manage your thoughts, feelings and emotions will help keep functioning at optimal levels.

In life there are so many questions that are unanswered or you might feel the need to figure out. Whether it be to find a career you’re successful in, establish steady relationships or develop new hobbies, this uncertainty may create a lot of stress in your life. For this reason, you may be struggling with feelings of not being good enough, which results in a sense of hopelessness and frustration about life and what it should be. We receive these messages from family, friends and social media that it is important to be accepted, but can simultaneously struggle with feelings of loneliness and inadequacy from trying to achieve it.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treatment of children, adolescents and young adults from a family systems perspective. This means that I provide support not only to the identified individual seeking therapy, but I strongly consider the needs of all individuals within the family dynamic. I work from a relational perspective and provide long-term individualized mental health treatment and care. I understand that the idea of engaging in therapy can be an anxiety provoking experience and I always allow the client to lead in terms of the pace and the depth of treatment.

Clients describe me as warm, engaging and invested in joining them in their wish to feel better and to live in ways that more closely resemble who they want to be. I work with individuals and families dealing with a variety of challenges: anxiety and depression, difficulties in relationships with partners, sexual orientation and parenting dilemmas as well as general struggles with life. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational and I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into my work. My intent is to establish a warm and compassionate environment that fosters a sense of safety and trust.

If you are feeling bad about yourself and aspects of your life, therapy can help improve your self-esteem, mood, and the quality of your life. I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with a wide range of issues. Some are confused and unhappy about their relationships or troubled by their performance at work or school. Others come into therapy because of a crisis in their lives, such as illness, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. I also see people who are having trouble adjusting to a life transition, like going away to college or becoming a parent. Still others are bothered by events from the past. Whatever the issue, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and/or angry are common.

My primary aim in my work is to meet my clients "where they are" by tuning in to their unique concerns and creating an atmosphere where they feel acknowledged and at ease. My style is warm, empathic and engaged which, combined with my acumen as a seasoned clinician, helps adults, children, parents and families feel comfortable and secure. Within this safe space, my clients express their concerns and work to repair and optimize wholesome development with professional recommendations that help to inform a collaborative therapeutic plan.

I am trained as a child psychologist and am also an individual and couple's therapist. I bring a knowledge of nonverbal communication research, infant research, mindfulness practice, and relationship research to the work that I do with couples and families. I am an experienced Divorce Coach and Child Specialist in Collaborative Divorce, as well as a trained mediator and negotiator. I focus on system dynamics in relationships, be they partner, family or business relationships, and strive to help people cope with conflict engagement. I'm also available for consultation for witness preparation.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults who reside in New York State. I specialize in the perinatal period and family life and have extensive experience working with a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, family conflict, life transitions, and parenting challenges. I work collaboratively with you to increase your understanding of your own life and build insight into conflicts you may be experiencing.

I have extensive years of clinical experiences working with individuals with various emotional struggles with depression, anxiety, traumatic life events, and/or relationship problems. I am committed to helping people recognize their own strengths and find solutions to problems. As a bilingual clinician, fluent in Korean and English, my special interest is to work with immigrant families, assisting with their adjustments in a new country dealing with cultural differences and generational conflicts within family systems. I also would like to help military personnel and their families.

Relationships can bring us the greatest joys in life- but sometimes they cause us the deepest pain. You may feel "I'm not enough" which leads you to giving-up, giving-in, or giving too much of yourself. You may be your own worst enemy with your strong, active self-critical voice- keeping you stuck in those patterns of demanding too much of yourself and asking too little from others. You may find yourself stuck in a spiral of thoughts and emotions. We'll get to the root causes so you can show up with your best parts. If you experience relational, career, or internal dissatisfaction, long for something more and a way out, I can help.

In my years of practice I have had the opportunity to work with a broad range of people on a wide range of issues. The skills of the therapist, developed and refined over many years are of importance in the clinical setting. Helping clients access their emotional and cognitive processing is a significant component of the work. I work with individuals, couples and families who feel "stuck" to identify the underlying causes and work towards defining goals that will spell "relief". Collaboration and reinforcement are significant in the process in order to help achieve the goals that are established and help create change.

​Dealing with difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations can be challenging and isolating. I find so much value in people struggling with depression and anxiety, as well as those dealing with grief, relationship, and family issues. I also really enjoy working with people who struggle with body image and are looking to develop a better relationship with food, and a better relationship with the self in general. I am constantly learning from my clients who are the expert of their own lives. Additionally, I utilize an advanced evidence-based approach to cognitive behavioral therapy and my holistic approach aims to empower you!

Does your life feel limited, stress-filled, empty? Are you anxious, fearful, mourning a loss? Do you often feel like you are faking it? You can run away from your feelings for a long time. You can run away from what you know to be true. Sometimes getting help with the right person can change everything. Passionate about my work, I believe that everyone can benefit from a trained, compassionate listener. If you want to talk email me to schedule a time.

My life work is to bring to you the possibility of being able to live a full life, in work and relationships. In my 30 years of practice, I have worked with people in private practice, inpatient and partial hospital settings, and schools. My typical client is someone who is working to meet the challenges of transition, such as going to college, getting married, divorced, changing careers, losing employment, dealing with the death of a loved one, or experiencing very difficult unpredictable events. I see continuing education as being extremely valuable. I am continuously deepening my learning through additional training and reading.

Finding someone you feel comfortable with is important when searching for a therapist.

My clients are individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, employment or relationship problems, or various life transitions. They may feel anxious, sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or confused.

An empowered person is more likely to be successful in all aspects of their life, and I would love to help you along that journey in getting to where you want to be.
