Therapists in Alden Manor, NY

I am a mental health counselor with a limited permit, working under the supervision of Dr. Sheila Chiffriller, a licensed psychologist. I provide psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients, specializing in survivors of trauma, borderline personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, anger, family issues, couples' issues, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, grief and bereavement. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation, intersectional justice, harm reduction, and embodiment and holds the position that social oppressions and systemic problems operate as barriers to wellness.

I believe therapy is a gift that allows one's inner strength to emerge while our personal journey through life's experiences makes us who we are. My own journey has led me to my career as a therapist which allows me the honor and opportunity to work together with my clients to recognize their own strengths and limitations in achieving their goals. All this takes place within a strong, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship that is built on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. I have a calm, warm, relaxed style and believe in creating a safe space for you where compassion, support, and humour can live.

Life is full of ups and downs. There are times when it may feel like it's all too much to handle on your own. If you have suffered enough you are not alone, I am here to hold space for you. I work with clients who may be struggling with general mental health struggles such as depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the concerns at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Hello, time traveler. I'm glad you made it here. I know there's a million other places you could be right now so I want to help you take a second to be here with me. Not at work tomorrow, not in the climate apocalypse and definitely not reliving that time in 5th grade when your yogurt exploded in your backpack because someone threw it down the street at the bus stop as the bus arrived. Ok. Now, that you're here, take a breath. Take another one. Feel the air flow in and out. Let that nagging voice that's pulling you from being here know that you hear it, and ask it to step aside for 30 seconds so that you can finish reading this.

As a licensed psychologist for almost 30 years, I am highly experienced in working with adults of all ages (emerging adults to older adults) and backgrounds to help understand or change their feelings or behaviors, or to work through a challenging situation or trauma. I use an authentic and interactive approach in working together to understand your experiences, develop goals and reach them in an open and supportive environment. I am especially drawn to helping those of diverse backgrounds, including culturally diverse and LGBTQ+ issues, in coping with mental health issues.

Therapy offers a safe place for exploration and a greater depth of understanding of both yourself and your relationships. It is also an avenue to enhance social connections, and a way to set goals and chart a path to achieve them. I work with clients to address any obstacles they may be facing and in helping them to enact a plan to achieve their desired outcomes. This partnership is different from person to person, because it’s about identifying any stumbling blocks clients may be facing and working through them. I value approaching people from a place of curiosity, empathetic understanding, and use a collaborative approach.

Hi! I'm Melissa, and I’m so excited to meet you. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, and it's an honor each day to support people through life’s challenges. We all struggle and sometimes the struggling can feel so out of hand. You just want to feel like somebody understands you, and you want to know that someone is in your corner no matter what. That’s where my role comes in, with the belief that you don’t need to go through this alone. The job is to show up as deeply committed to meeting you where you're at. This means that in this space, you won’t hear me telling you what you need to do, or have me rushing you through this process.

Hi there! It's very nice to meet you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist in New York with several years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, post-pandemic trauma for adolescents and adults, LGBTQ, and building confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion; after all we will be working together as a team. I utilize various treatment modalities to meet your unique and specific needs by building skills, tools, and enhancing self-esteem.

Everyone deserves an opportunity for growth. The therapeutic relationship is a trusting process. I use empathy, humor, and positive regard to create a safe space to discuss distress people experience throughout the course of life. I encourage my clients to identify and focus on the things they can control when dealing with depression and anxiety. Change is challenging and often unavoidable. I work with adults (over age 21) who are looking to overcome fears and struggles by helping them learn effective ways to cope and set and maintain boundaries. My goal is to guide individuals on the road to healing, empowerment, and success.

Do you worry about feeling uncomfortable or out of place when looking for a therapist? Do you feel that you are not well-represented in therapeutic communities? Are you concerned that your mental state could worsen before it improves? It's natural to feel apprehensive about seeking therapy but remember that taking the first step is often the hardest part.

I am a psychologist, licensed in NYS and CA, offering teletherapy to residents of both states. I am also a returned Peace Corps volunteer and aspire for cultural humility and sensitivity in my practice. My training background is in child, adolescent, and adult individual and group therapy, as well as in neuropsychology from teaching hospitals: Brown, Harvard, and NYU; I completed my postdoctoral training at Kaiser Permanente Northern California. I use an integrated approach to treatment, incorporating a range of evidence-based therapy and my broad training experience to meet the diversity of presentations of my clients.

Do you often feel on-edge and find yourself feeling stuck in a cycle of worry or sadness? Would you like to feel more in control of your moods and emotions? Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming right now or you are looking to make a change. Taking the first step on your journey towards healing can be challenging but it’s not one you need to take alone.

My focus is on introspection & interpersonal relationships. I integrate a traditional and holistic approach in a safe and peaceful setting. I tailor to your personal needs and wants by removing the masks and uncovering your personal truth/individualized self. My practice incorporates skill building to help you understand why you make the choices you make and to live your life through self-acceptance, self-love, and confidence

It can be difficult to manage strong emotions, particularly in times of transition and stress. It may also be hard to seek help, even from a trained therapist. That is why I work to create a judgment free and inviting space where clients feel comfortable and welcome to join me in tackling their problems. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors on issues related to stress management, mindfulness, life transitions, coping strategies, assertiveness, emotion regulation, and more. It is my job to help you take that first step towards making positive change in your life.

Life has no shortage of stressors; therapy is an opportunity to process challenges which can lead to self-discovery and growth. Whether it’s anxiety, relationship problems, diminished self-worth, mood difficulties, school-related obstacles, parenting issues, life transitions or the like, I am committed to utilizing a personalized approach, tailoring my work and interventions to focus on each individual client – with their particular struggles and strengths. As such, I help clients become better equipped to effect change – large or small - leading to better relationships, more fulfillment and improved feelings of self-worth.

Are you feeling stagnant but can't seem to get "unstuck"? Grappling with shame and guilt from past wounds? Living in fear-based cycles or struggling with harmful relationship patterns? Maybe you're seeking a greater sense of peace, balance and inner security? Sometimes our past can cast shadows that eclipse our hope for a better future and rob us of our joy in the present moment. While the path toward healing can be daunting, you don't have to go it alone. Taking the first step can be one of the hardest, most pivotal and rewarding of the journey.
