Therapists in Farmington, NY

Feeling depressed, lonely, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or lost? Struggling with grief, a major life transition, troubled relationships, poor self-image, or intrusive recollections of a past trauma? We all struggle at times and therapy can help. Reaching out for help constitutes an important first step. Thank you for considering my practice. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space that promotes your healing and growth.

I feel very blessed to have witnessed healing and growth in many, many clients throughout my career. I believe that counseling is a partnership between the client and therapist to achieve symptom relief and personal growth. I have over twenty years of experience with a significant focus in the area of child abuse and neglect (with both children and adult survivors). Many times, what "happened to you" results in the common stress reactions of anxiety and depression. Whatever brings you to the counseling process, I respect your bravery and willingness to change.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise. Your first session will always be offered within 7 days, and guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

Reaching out is often the toughest step and it is very important (and can be rewarding) to find the right fit! Each individual has their own unique story and experiences and therefore deserving of an individualized approach to therapy. The therapeutic relationship should foster one's personal journey to self exploration and growth. My goal is to help you find your best fit and support you in your personal growth, healing, and self-empowering journey. My approach is often described as supportive, warm, empowering, challenging (when you need it), and humorous.

As of 3/16/20 teletherapy is offered to promote public health safety. I provide psychotherapy and evaluation services for clients of all ages with cognitive, psychological, developmental, learning and neurobehavioral disorders and needs. I am a registered nurse (in NYS) as well as a licenced psychologist (in NY and MI) with years of experience and welcome clients with serious, chronic and complex health conditions. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psycholgy from Columbia University, an Internship and Fellowship at Cornell University Medical College.

Anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship issues are heavy burdens to carry every day. these pressures are not easy to deal with every day. It’s a serious burden to carry and it’s absolutely exhausting. It has an effect on your relationships, your social connections, your work, your school – everything. Therapy can help you understand the why behind the anxiety, stress, pressure, and confusion you might feel. You can move beyond just coping skills and get to the deeper root of these struggles. If you’re ready to do the work, it’s possible to find relief, build stronger relationships, and live with more ease.

My goal as a clinician is to create a safe space where we can work through issues that may be causing you distress, and eventually celebrate your positive growth. I may be a particularly good fit for those seeking support around interpersonal relationships, life transitions, trauma, anxiety or depression. Together, we will explore the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. I am also a certified perinatal mental health provider and have a special interest in working with folks navigating challenges around parenthood including postpartum depression/anxiety, birth trauma, pregnancy loss and infertility.

Sometimes the struggles we encounter can feel overwhelming and frustrating. Are you dealing with grief and loss, infertility, trauma, anxiety, stress, difficult life transitions and more? Counseling can help you find that support and identify the tools to help you heal. I work with adults and have a special interest in working with individuals struggling with infertility (including those that have ended the medical treatments and need support), miscarriage, and child loss. Immediate openings.

I have been doing counseling and psychotherapy for over thirty years. I enjoy working with individuals and will include their significant others, including spouse, partners, family members, friends and (yes) pets. As I see it, my job as a therapist is to work with you to create an environment in which you will feel emotionally safe, and one in which you can feel OK talking about all aspects of yourself. This allows us to use your personal strengths and resources to resolve your difficultes so you can become more like the person you want to be.

Hello! I’m happy to hear that you are here and taking the first step to begin/continue your journey of personal growth and healing. Life is a journey; sometimes you can travel alone, but there are times when you could use someone to walk with you along that journey and help you reach your goals. As your multicultural competent therapist, I am here to support, empower, and guide you towards that more positive + joyful life experience. I work with clients who are looking to take a deeper look at emotional and behavioral patterns, better understand their emotional needs, and build emotional resilience to create a meaningful life.

I believe we all share the need to be deeply understood, especially during difficult or challenging times. I appreciate the courage clients show when they share stories of their lives. Without fail, I find these stories layered, complex, unique and moving. I admire clients who dare to share life stories that are "works-in-progress" -- messy, drafty, tentative. Stories with icky parts (that's a technical term!)... or tender parts...or broken parts... or out-dated parts. Stories with gaps -- spaces -- where yet-to-be-written parts will go. .I believe this process leads to healing and transformation.

Therapy is The Answer. The Question? It is the reason you are here and seeking help. So many of us face stressors & challenges that could benefit from more Self-Love & more Self-Care. Therapy can be useful to identify & process challenges, to learn to manage all aspects of life, & to build Resilience, Understanding & Self-Compassion. Therapy is a private space where you can put aside the Fear of Judgement and pick up Tools for Personal Growth & progress toward Balance & Peace. As the expert in YOU, we will work together to establish meaningful goals, to get in motion with a renewed sense of motivation & to heal emotional wounds.

I would like to first start with saying Congratulations to making the first step in prioritizing your mental health! It is a courageous decision to work on ourselves! Therapy can be the beginning of a life changing endeavor for many and it all begins with you. HI! My name is Erin and I, too, have made that same decision in my life to seek better understanding of myself as well as working through challenges that have gotten me “stuck” at times in my life. I share this because I feel it important for my patients to know that my own personal journey allows me to be empathetic and compassionate to patient’s needs and struggles.

Do you have relationships but still feel alone or unknown? Are your days busy but leave you depressed or unsatisfied? Do you wonder where you fit in and does your world feel small? A good life is one where you feel your life has purpose and meaning. It is one where you are connected to your authentic self, to other people, and to a sense of greater good. Therapy can be a key to finding these things. My work as a therapist is to provide safety, presence, knowledge, skills, and wisdom to help you find your path to your best life. I always strive to bring candor, kindness, practicality and depth to our sessions.

This is for anyone who struggles feeling emotionally safe to be themselves in a relationship with others. They might be unsure and doubt themselves, and struggle with self-care and setting boundaries with those that they are close to. 
This is for those who want to feel safe and secure within their own sense of self and feel emotionally safe to be. They would like to experience love and compassion for themself and be able to prioritize themself unapologetically. This is for those who are seeking emotional stability, resilience, and the ability to thrive and live in their full expression in their lives in all dimensions.

I specialize in working with children, families, teens, and young adults. I have training in several therapeutic approaches and identify as an eclectic therapist, drawing from many modalities to create a personalized experience that is suited to your or your child's needs. You can expect the incorporation of psychoanalytic, cognitive behavioral, narrative, play, and expressive art therapy depending on what is best suited for the individual.

You have found your way here to feel better about the unique individual that is "you." Maybe you would like to see yourself in a more positive light. You could want to be less stuck or stressed with a relationship. Or perhaps you are tired of feeling afraid while it seems like anxiety runs your life. During times of uncertainty or change, It's normal for individuals to feel isolated. You are not alone. It takes courage to reach out for help, especially in the middle of struggle.

Our vision is to provide guidance, support, encouragement, and tools that will allow your own empowerment as you take active steps toward steady progress. We assist you with addressing mental health goals, including working toward recovery in improved health and wellness. At Together Therapy our goal is to be there for you every step of the way as you achieve healthy overall mental wellness.

The basis of any good counseling relationship is finding someone you connect with & who seems to "get you". I strive to provide an environment that facilitates trust, respect, compassion & understanding for your uniqueness. I work in a proactive, collaborative, flexible & transparent way. I am direct & open, offer honest feedback & insightful challenges. I help you search for maladaptive patterns & work with you on trying intentional new approaches. I believe everyone has core strengths that with the right support & guidance will serve as a foundation for more self-confidence, healthier relationships & increased self-fulfillment.
