Alcohol Use Therapists in Elma, NY

I work with individuals and couples of all ages and backgrounds. Experience as a therapist includes community mental health & work with children, teens & parents (primarily in school settings). My therapy focus is on wholeness regardless of the problem, but to provide a context, the work I do addresses residual post-trauma effects, ADD, grief and loss, chronic depression, social (and other forms of) anxiety, and self-integration needs following separation and/or divorce. A therapeutic fit with a good counselor is a huge relief; it helps us recover an inner resilience we either lost or never knew we possessed.

Sometimes things arise in someone's life that seem insurmountable. When talking to friends and family doesn't help it may seem like there is no way through a situation. Speaking to a trained therapist may be the best way to bring about the change you need. This can be difficult and uncomfortable at times but with hard work change is not only possible but inevitable. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues can be treated with strength-based, client-focused treatment.

Dr. Jackson’s clientele is comprised of adults, high school, and college students, entertainment industry professionals, former executives, professors, and athletes. While utilizing individual, couples and family therapy, as well as modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. It is often hard for us to accept help due to society’s belief that we should “handle it” on our own. These unhelpful thinking patterns impact how we interact in our relationships, as well as how we process things as they are happening. I strive to work with clients through the hard times while making the process as enjoyable as possible. We can get caught in bad relationships, trauma cycles, grudges, and anger.

Hello! My name is Stephanie. I am an LMSW and psychotherapist with experiences working with mental health and substance use. I approach therapy from a holistic mind/ body perspective. I utilize evidenced based practices such as; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as well as attachment/ abandonment recovery therapies (and several other modalities listed below). I am additionally a level (2) reiki practitioner, and offer reiki services for ongoing healing and relaxation.

I conduct CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), TF-CBT (trauma-focused CBT), ABA (behavioral therapy), solution-focused therapy, and structural and strategic family therapy. I love learning about neurobiology and the effects that stress has on the brain. Interpersonally, a client coming into session with me can expect to encounter a warm, compassionate, and encouraging soul who has a dry sense of humor and tends to address problems in a straightforward manner.

I work to foster wellness and growth in each individual to allow them to live the life they have chosen as fully as possible. I believe that the individual in counseling is the expert in their life and my role is to help support and guide them to make decisions, make positive changes, increase their coping skills and improve their emotional wellness and quality of life. I have experience working with individuals who have complex needs and challenges and work to utilize their strengths and resources to meet their goals.

In my counseling practice, I specialize in trauma work, substance use, and grief, with a focus on supporting frontline workers. With tailored approaches and compassionate care, I help individuals navigate through life's challenges. From coping with trauma to overcoming addiction and grieving losses, I provide a safe space for healing and growth. My dedication to frontline workers stems from understanding their unique stressors, and I am committed to offering them the specialized support they deserve. Together, we work towards resilience, recovery, and renewed hope.

Do you ever feel like you are constantly getting more than you are getting? Do you want to make some changes but feel stuck? "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". James Baldwin
