Therapists in Cooperstown, NY

My passion is helping children, adolescents, and young adults lead happier, more enjoyable lives, and enabling their families to experience harmony and joy in their homes.

Hello, I have a great passion for serving Youth, Adults and Families. Sometimes we are faced with adversities or changes within our life that can be difficult to deal with and/or ask for help. School, work, relationship and life expectations may cause us to feel stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected or just overall tired. When this happens, we often experience an increase in symptoms of depression, anxiety or past trauma. I work to lessen the stigma and empower individuals to seek help for these concerns in hopes to help to heal & strengthen the person & family.

Looking to reduce or eliminate symptoms of PTSD, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, dissociation? We provide comprehensive trauma-focused care to help support your personal growth and individual goals.

You are the main player in your life. It may not always feel this way, whether it is past experiences, unhelpful habits, or challenges arising in your relationships that seem to be taking the lead. You CAN build on established skills and develop the necessary tools to help you feel in control again. Though this can take time, you’re working to take the steps needed for your own well-being. For that, I commend you! Will it be hard at times? Yes. Will it get better in time? Yes! With your willingness and desire to be a part of this journey, you can accomplish your goal, and I will gladly support you in that.

We welcome you into exceptionally stunning office space while providing a calm, empathetic, and comforting presence in guiding you on the journey to achieving your goals. Experience includes working with individuals struggling in their relationships, presenting symptoms of depression or anxiety, work-related stressors, life transitions, neurodiversity, gender identity expression or sexuality. Often people are seeking therapy to heal themselves, improve communication with loved ones, or self-regulate.

Ever felt like you get in your own way ? Do you feel energetically stuck in one place and feel like there is no way to move forward in life? We all have the strength to heal ourselves as long as we have a safe space to explore emotions, negative thought patterns, and unresolved trauma within the soul. It is human nature to connect with others, sometimes it takes an unbiased support system to discover your authentic self through mind, body, and spirit. Our work together will explore healing your inner world through creativity, compassion, and positive self exploration.

Discussing the challenges you've been through is a vulnerable place, but also one that can be full of growth and clarity. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with some of life's big transitions. I utilize an integrative approach to create a safe, trauma informed space to build regulation skills, communication skills, and process trauma. I have a background in working with adult survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, college students, and children in foster care birth to 21. Trauma and transitions are each taxing in their own profound ways, but each can lead to change. I'm here to hold that space with you.

To me, as a therapist, it is essential to develop a safe, nonjudgmental, honest, and supportive space for each and every client to unpack, process and move forward. I work with children ages 3-18 years, adults, and families facing various challenges and diagnoses.

My name is Soren and I work with children and adults of all ages to help people grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic to them. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly.
