Therapists in Putnam County, NY

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.

As a philosophical counselor, I utilize philosophical tools and theories to help my clients rationally address common issues that arise in life, and in doing so, learn to think more clearly, critically and deeply about them. Most of the issues we face every day are not pathological—they are not the result of mental illness—but rather just a part of life. These include questions about what career to pursue, or how to deal with a relationship issue, or how to find meaning in your life, or cope with the loss of a loved one, or resolve an ethical dilemma or to get clear on what fundamental values one holds or ought to hold.
