Therapists in Annandale, NY

Getting support is more important than ever. I help clients adjust to change, including loss, overcome difficulties with relationships of all kinds, address attachment issues, PTSD, and anxiety. I work collaboratively—a strong connection between therapist and client is the foundation of good therapy. Listening deeply to clients, I draw on 40 years as a somatic practitioner (incl. 10 years as a massage therapist) and use intuition, empathy, compassion, and humor to help guide the process. I integrate proven and effective mind-body techniques to alleviate chronic stress and pain and achieve wellness through life-style changes.

Kaden centers their counseling in the belief that people are the experts of their own lives. They seek to collaborate with clients by fostering a supportive environment for self-exploration in which clients develop the skills and confidence to guide the path to their own healing. As a trans clinician, Kaden understands the importance of being able to safely bring your whole self into the therapy space, without judgement. They seek to create an affirming environment for all clients and are committed to continued personal and professional development in an anti- racist, anti-oppressive counseling practice.

Hello Everyone! I work with individuals and couples. I teach couples simple, proven, and easy to learn skills from Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy that partners can use to repair, or improve their current, and future relationships. I work with adults to help them understand what caused the stuck places in their lives and together we collaborate to create solutions that heal those issues and create positive change.

In working with clients in psychotherapy, I find it useful first to sort out what's working in their lives from what's not. Then we look at what's not working; be it depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, compulsive & addictive behavior, and extreme emotional reactions. All of these things can all serve as clues to help us identify and address hidden and unexpressed emotions and experiences. (In addition to treating adults, couples, and adolescents with the more standard therapy issues, I have extensive experience working with the full gamut of sexual topics.)

Psychotherapy provides the support and structure to facilitate your ability to make positive changes. I work with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, transitions throughout the life span, parenting concerns, stress at work, school or home. I have an interactive style and I evaluate the needs of each client in order to determine the type of approach that would be most useful. With an eclectic approach the work we do may, for example, include psycho-dynamic and insight oriented work, a problem solving focus, behavior modification or stress management. I may suggest "homework" at times such as a relaxation exercise or a relevant reading.

I believe therapy can offer an opportunity to find clarity, to better understand overwhelming experiences, as well as to grow from difficult times. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with their relationships, dealing with trauma, and coping with stress, anger, depression and anxiety. Regardless of the struggle, I believe the most important piece of therapy is tailoring each individual's therapy to their unique needs in order to assist the growth and change necessary to feel better.

I specialize in working with youth and families, and use traditional talk therapy, as well as Synergetic Play Therapy, a body-based modality, to facilitate growth and healing. I also offer the use of art and sandtray to help clients process feelings and experiences that are sometimes beyond words. In my work with teens and pre-teens, I seek to validate, support, and draw upon the innate wisdom they hold within to build resources, confidence, and movement toward goals. I hold my clients in the highest regard, and am constantly reminded in my work that young people can be our greatest teachers about ourselves and the world.

Our reactions to the world are influenced by our experiences. For me it’s meant transitioning from city life in Brooklyn & NYC to quieter moves upstate in the Hudson Valley; it’s meant growing from a young adult into family life & active mother of 3; and changing gears to be able to support and treat youngsters and adults in a way that best serves each of them. I've spent most of my career servicing children, teens and their families in emotional, behavioral, academic & psychiatric capacities. I've supported kids and teens through mental illness, trauma, developmental delays, learning issues,

With evening and weekend hours available, I aim to make help accessible to my clients. And with over 35 year of work in the field, I bring that deep experience and wisdom to the work. I feel very effective working with clients on many issues: COUPLES: Infidelity, loss of emotional/intimate closeness, communication problems, anger issues, and parenting. FAMILIES: blended family issues, adoption/fostercare, caregiving decisions, substance abuse concerns. INDIVIDUAL: Anxiety, substance abuse, recovery and relapse prevention, self-esteem, anger management, trauma and its aftermath, depression, relationship issues, adoption issues.

Feeling lost or stuck? Ready to begin coming to terms with yourself? Want to come to a better understanding of yourself in your relationships? Interested in digging through your life and getting a firmer grasp on your identity? Are there childhood experiences that you’ve yet to fully deal with that creeps into your bones, your daily stressors and your relationships? Whether you've heard you're "too hard on yourself" or know that you would never treat anyone else the way you're treating yourself, you've finally made it to therapy. You’re taking the first step. It’s time to think, talk and create meaning.

Life is crazy right now. And it’s still important (maybe even more important) to take care of yourself. I’m here to help you do that. Even in the most stressful and unknown of circumstances. (hello, "post" pandemic-life, looking at YOU!). Let’s figure out how to build resilience and thrive… Give no fucks (at least about the things that don’t really matter). And find a healthy, happy balance in your life. Even when everything feels like it’s falling apart...  I help stressed & overwhelmed New Yorkers find space, clarity & calm in this crazy world. Anxiety & depression can make you feel stuck, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed.

What is weighing heavily on your heart? What stories are playing on repeat and bringing you down? What have you been tolerating or avoiding for far too long? Let's not try to fix anything, let's just be curious and take the time you need to be fully heard and understood. I would like to help you gain a deeper understanding about what is happening in your life. I will meet you where you are and gently guide you on your inner journey to find what brings you inner peace and harmony. I hope you'll let me be your guide and offer you my kindness, wisdom and expertise developed over many years, both personally and professionally.

Have you tried therapy in the past or been in therapy and feel you've gone as far as you can? I have found this to be true for many people who are looking to go deeper, looking for more meaning and purpose and feel a desire to cultivate a relationship with their inner wisdom. Perhaps a different approach may help. I offer therapy which is a combination of traditional modalities such as CBT and trauma informed work and also, if you wish, the use of the tools of the ancient wisdom traditions to provide a deeper connection to self.

You may be struggling with painful experiences you have been through, or frustrating patterns in your relationships that just seem to keep repeating. I offer a nonjudgmental and supportive space where we can courageously approach past traumas and life experiences together, and work toward more effective, confident navigation of your relationships with yourself and others.

Donnie Joseph has 27 years of experience working in social service and counseling spaces. During that time he has worked to counsel and support people during challenging times in their lives- whether in a psychiatric unit, emergency department, an outpatient substance abuse program, a long-term residential adolescent program, or a stabilization unit, Donnie considers it an honor and a privilege to stand alongside people and be a source of support during these vulnerable times.

I believe in our capacity to challenge and navigate away from unhealthy patterns. I support my clients in cultivating awareness and guide them in the healing process by drawing on innate strengths and resilience. I encourage clients to think of human beings as organisms, of body and of mind, that live in relationship with others and with our environment. As such, growth is our natural state. We are meant to grow, to act fluidly and adapt creatively throughout our lives and we suffer when that process is blocked or interrupted. However, our suffering can provide an opportunity to grow in new and exciting ways.
