Alzheimer's Therapists in Central Square, NY

Chronic or situational depression and/or anxiety can cause significant negative changes to your quality of life. Your symptoms can negatively impact your relationships, your work productivity and your health. If you're not feeling 'like yourself,' noticing changes in your sleep/appetite, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or just going through difficult changes in your life, having someone to talk to can help. Usually, talking things through, practicing small lifestyle changes, learning a few coping tips, and doing some problem solving together can make all the difference.

I believe that life is a journey; one that is not always easy and shouldn't be traveled alone. If you're ready to take your own journey through healing and understanding, I am here to walk with you at Compass Counseling. I am a very person centered therapist who caters each session to your personal circumstances. I believe that none of us can fit in the same box and my counseling style reflects being able to adapt to that concept. My approach is warm and empathetic with emphasis on connecting to who you are and working with you in your journey through use of mindfulness, CBT, solution focused therapy, & at times Reiki.

Life can feel deeply overwhelming and struggles at times seem insurmountable. Grief, depression, anxiety, outside expectations, and other mental health challenges can make it difficult to identify and experience life's joys. I seek to serve people who have been marginalized/othered or felt uncomfortable with traditional therapy: People who identify as LGBTQIA, BIPOC, polyamorous individuals/families, people living with physical, intellectual, or developmental disability, and those living with chronic and severe mental illness.

In my years of experience, I have worked the most with individuals experiencing issues with anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I have found the most success with meeting clients where they are at, building a strong therapeutic rapport, and using an eclectic style of treatment techniques (tailored to each individual’s needs). This collective approach will allow individuals to gain the most from their therapy involvement. I will provide the framework for the client to develop their strategy in order to work toward achieving their psychological, emotional, and social well being.

Are you looking to heal? To change? To accept challenges and cope with grace? Become more well balanced, enjoy life and relationships more, flourish in your chosen path? I welcome individuals and families coping with issues of aging such as chronic/progressive illness, pain, and cognitive changes; as well as those with trauma, ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief; stress, depression and anxiety. I will be a witness, a listener, a partner and a guide as you use self-awareness, self-compassion, wisdom and intentionality to learn and cope with the practical and emotional tasks and challenges of your life with heart, mind and soul.

Finding the right therapist is important and seeking help is a courageous step. You want a person with experience, who you can trust and feel comfortable with. You hope to be met with respect and genuineness as you resolve concerns such as sadness, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or wanting to focus on self-improvement. I offer a therapeutic environment of respectful challenge, acceptance, curiosity, and joy. My approach to therapy is "integrative." This means that I utilize skills from several types of therapy to find the approach that is the best fit for your needs and your strengths.

I work with trauma, anxiety, depression with children and adults, and couples counseling. I welcome clients who are ready to engage in their journey just as they are, from wherever they stand. Ideal clients are those open to the experience of therapy and eager to collaboratively delve into their challenges within a nurturing and cooperative environment. I offer both in-office and telehealth counseling to individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a range of challenges.

Accepting New Clients - Welcome! Are you a college student? Professional?

At Arise & Shine Counseling, I firmly believe that not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. It is my hope that our partnership will reinforce the understanding that asking for help is a symbol of strength. I will partner with you and guide you through the barriers of depression, anxiety, trauma, codependency, and relationship challenges.

I see my role as a counselor is one of an assistant or facilitator. I believe we all have the ability to help ourselves but we sometimes need a little help. As we go about our daily lives, we encounter stress which can affect us in different ways; showing up as depression, anxiety, health problems, or relationship problems. Sometimes we need someone to listen and give us a different perspective on our problems and insight as to how to deal effectively with them. I am familiar with cognitive-behavioral techniques and incorporate family systems and personality theories as needed.

I have experience working with adults, children, couples, families and groups and treating a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, ADHD, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, OCD, self injury, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I often use mindfulness techniques, creative arts therapy, DBT and CBT to help clients find balance and joy.

I believe that everyone has inner strengths and abilities that are at times overshadowed by life circumstances and physical/mental health/spiritual struggles. With caring support and encouragement individuals can regain perspective, recognize and use their strengths, and grow further in their ability to manage symptoms and life stressors allowing them to overcome barriers to their wellness. Having 35 years of experience in the mental health field, I've dealt with a variety of issues primarily in the areas related to depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, emotional regulation and grief/loss.
