Therapists in Atlanta, NY

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been practicing for over 13 years. I specialize in the treatment of adults, couples, and families. I utilize a client-centered, strength-based perspective, which allows me to effectively build clinical rapport and engage with my clients from the initial session. I am able to quickly gain my clients’ trust, enabling them to take those first steps toward self-improvement very quickly. I have great empathy for all of my clients and offer them my knowledge and expertise in helping them to achieve the therapy goals we set together.

Life can be difficult; you've come to the right place to navigate these challenges. I offer a warm, empathetic, judgment-free, and safe space where we can work together to find the root cause of concerns you, your family, or child have. I am here to help explore issues related to irritability, anger, low mood, lack of motivation, self-harm, and/or aggression. I have experience working intensively with families, couples, adolescents, and children struggling with OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood, substance use, family conflict, school behaviors, aggression and/or behavioral issues.

I am a licensed and seasoned clinical social worker (LCSW-R) in practice for 30+ years, specializing in couples and individual therapy. My academic training was at the University at Buffalo; my post-graduate and continuing education was at The Marriage Counseling Center, where I mentored new therapists and developed a strong word-of-mouth following. Couples work included, but was not limited to, these critical issues: emotionally focused communication, destructive conflict patterns, emotional and physical intimacy, infidelity and trust repair, pre-marital assessment, commitment, and discernment of ultimate relationship habitability.

Most people seek out counseling when their independent efforts to resolve difficulties or heal from experiences in their life have been unsuccessful, and the desire for relief outweighs the common reluctance to ask for help. Your decision to engage in the hard work of therapy takes courage and vulnerability, and is a profound act of self-care that can yield lifelong benefits. Connecting with a therapist whom you can trust to guide and walk alongside you on this path is critical to this process.

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults & couples. I have over 10 years’ experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma, grief & loss along with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and/or self-harm behaviors. I offer a relaxed and nonjudgmental space where you will be validated yet challenged and ultimately self-empowered. The therapy relationship is the key to your success. I strive to create a connection with my clients through my casual approach and my genuine accepting nature as well as creating an environment conducive to positive change.

Unwanted thoughts, anxiety and depression can be very difficult to manage. Sometimes we feel all alone or lost and need someone to help get us on track.

My goal is to help you feel empowered and confident in your abilities to manage the challenges in your life.

Are you looking to gain more clarity or develop insight into a presenting problem or current symptom(s)?

As a person who struggles with day to day stress, you feel tired everyday. It seems you have tried everything but nothing works. Do you feel the same scene playing out in your life over and over again, but you have the inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing intolerable feelings and even more consumed in trying to figure out why you feel this way? My belief is that trauma is the root cause. Most trauma generates from a past or current relationship and can be healed. Even the most severe trauma can be healed.

Today's society is more stressful than ever. It is this build up of stress and trauma that will contribute to depression, anxiety and other mental health related issues. By taking care of your mental health, you are working to minimize the damage of this stress.

Hi, Welcome to my page. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. We all face challenges in our daily lives. It is helpful to be able to have someone who is experienced to talk to, and who is not emotionally connected to the situation, in order to help you process, find solutions and to obtain goals. This is where I can be a service to you.

Each person I work with, whether you are dealing with stress from work, family, personal, or addiction issues, will establish their own goals and together we will work to develop the necessary knowledge and skills in order to meet those goals. With my guidance, I believe that allowing you to work towards the things that you prioritize in your own life will help you gain new knowledge about yourself and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors in a safe and nurturing environment.
