Therapists in Clinton, New York, NY

I am a licensed social worker offering individual psychotherapy that is dynamic, supportive, non-judgemental and interactive. Together we will create a warm therapeutic environment where one can explore painful feelings, identify goals and develop strategies for coping with difficult emotion's and circumstances. My style is personable and challenging.

Do you struggle with challenging emotions or symptoms of trauma? With over 30 years experience working with children, teens and adults, my attachment based approach combines didactic and somatic approaches to best fit the needs of every client. Children need a safe and playful space to work through difficult issues. Expressive arts approaches and DBT methods are effective when words are not enough. My compassionate and down to earth process examines old patterns that no longer serve you as you discover new empowered parts of yourself. We work on concrete tools to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and symptoms of trauma.

I am currently seeing clients in New York, California and Florida State. I believe Psychotherapy is a collaborative venture that can help people lead a fulfilling life and maintain healthy relationships. In our work together my intention is to create a judgement-free space where I can understand your personal experience and nurture and support you in your journey towards authenticity and change. If you suffer with states of depression, anxiety, or loneliness, or you feel generally dissatisfied with aspects of your life, through our work together we can explore skills and tools that move you toward growth.

Often manifesting as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, low self-confidence and addiction, I work with women to identify presenting traumas and release it from the root!" Growth requires that we become aware of the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have kept us 'stuck.' As your therapist, I will actively listen to your concerns in order to facilitate the crucial components of personal growth: self-reflection and insight.

My specialty is in helping clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relational issues, loss of purpose, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness (i.e., psychedelic experiences). I use psychodynamic therapy with an existential-humanistic approach and invite my clients to see their life’s ongoing journey as an endless source of wisdom. Compassion and acceptance are key to my approach to helping with various challenges.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (10 years +) and my practice focuses on conducting empirically-informed forensic evaluations and trainings in threat assessment and all forms of interpersonal exploitation and violence victimization. I use an integrative approach drawing from best practices in current assessment research and utilizing trauma-informed clinical interviewing. My areas of expertise include sexual harassment and workplace violence, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, domestic homicides, and sex and labor trafficking. Issues I have evaluated include trauma and PTSD, violence risk, coercive controlling tactics, dissociation and memory issues, sexual grooming, trauma bonding and traumatic attachments.

I recognize what a big step it is to start therapy. Patients arrive in my office not knowing what the new experience will bring. Some patients have previously had an unsuccessful therapy experience, for some it is their first therapy experience. I am open to a dialogue about what ever concerns a patient has about this new psychotherapy process and how I work.

I am privileged to provide professional and thorough help to all of my clients. I will meet with you individually in a comfortable setting to talk over what concerns you. We can make a reasonable effective plan for short or longer term therapy; including referral to a specialist service that is based on your individual needs. I am confident that I can move you in the right direction. I believe in the strength of all my clients. I will provide my skills and expertise to reach our identified goals.

Have you ever watched "Couple's Therapy" on Showtime and thought...that looks a lot like us! Whether you dare to put your relationship on the air or not, it takes guts to get help and try to make some better moves. It's so tempting to keep on doing what you do, even if it's not working! It's hard to take risks that move you away from defensive reactive postures into more responsive listening. Learning the skills to address "stuck" places of distress and finding the courage to own damaged and damaging parts of your negative cycle is key to growth.

Are you struggling with difficult feelings or a search for meaning? Are you struggling to feel affirmed in your sense of identity as someone different or marginalized?

Or perhaps you simply need a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to process your day-to-day stress. Utilizing a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I help my clients explore themselves to find resilience, healing, and meaning in their lives.

Perhaps you’re feeling like a broken record, yet you never feel understood by your partner. Maybe you’re walking on eggshells trying to avoid starting the next argument. Possibly, the pain of your spouse’s infidelity is making you doubt if you can ever get close again. Once a source of connection, fun, and intimacy, your sexual relationship is non-existent.
