American Sign Language (ASL) Therapists in Honeoye Falls, NY

I enjoy working with individuals , families, and couples. I see individual clients with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are experiencing very normal and understandable reactions to painful life circumstances. The couples that I work with may be attempting to recover from affairs, considering divorce, or experiencing challenges in their relationship that they want to work through. I've worked with both gay and straight couples.as well as those who are married and single. The families that I see are dealing with issues related to child raising, divorce, illness or disability, and major life transitions.

Find peace from within. That's my motto when working with clients and walking beside them during the most difficult moments in life. Life is often unfair and terrible things happen to us. However, we are still responsible for remedying these situations and creating our own happiness. I believe that you are capable of achieving inner peace and calm through processing your experiences and receiving honest empathy and feedback. I am here to help you take control of your life. Taking control of your life might mean making difficult decisions such as cutting out unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and even people.

My name is Katarina Asbury. I am a therapist who is passionate about treating OCD and other anxiety disorders. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process meant to teach people how to manage, cope and return to feeling in control of their life as soon as possible. I have extensive experience in the application of Exposure Response Prevention and Habit Reversal Therapy. I utilize CBT in a creative and flexible way to meet the specific needs of each client and where they are in their journey.

Change can be difficult - but with support it becomes possible. You might be struggling with difficult thoughts like "what if my family never accepts my life choices - will they ever accept me?" Perhaps you're battling indecisiveness and fear about whether you're "good enough" to succeed, preventing you from reaching your aspirations and goals? Or maybe you feel confident and successful at times, but at other moments as if your shield for taking on the world is paper-thin? I utilize methods including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help resolve these concerns.

Over the past 24 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to stress and relationship changes. My clients describe me as approachable, down-to-earth and practical in my work with them. I enjoy the process of exploring what issues are causing distress and identifying together what needs to be done to resolve those issues or learn more effective ways of responding.

Sometimes life is hard and we need extra support. It can take courage to take that first step. By facing and working through difficult life challenges you can move from feeling lost and stuck to feeling more empowered and resilient.

Do you feel unsatisfied, stuck, or anxious in your relationships? You watch as other people go on to have successful relationships while you feel stuck in repeat. Are you on the verge of divorce? You might be driven in other areas of your life but feel like you can't quite hack it when it comes to relationships. You might have tried a plethora of therapists in the past that don’t connect with you or seem not to understand where you are coming from. You are looking for someone to tell you like it is, understands where you are coming from, and invest in your future success.
