Therapists in Fulton, NY

Dealing with various types of trauma and the ways in which it can impact our daily lives can be challenging. I am here to help you understand that your trauma does not define you, your trauma reactions are valid and I’d like to support you in the development of healthy coping skills. This will allow you the freedom to transcend beyond traumatic experiences, forging a new path toward growth, healing, recovery and wellness. I can help you navigate and cope with addiction/substance use, PTSD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity related issues, and family/interpersonal relationships.

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.

My first experience with therapy, was as the client. After surviving a traumatic event, I sought help from a therapist. Therapy proved so helpful, it was then, that my passion grew. While most of my experience has been in private practice providing individual therapy, I have worked in a county mental health clinic, an inpatient psychiatric setting and a residential group home. At the core of distress, we may find some form of unresolved shame, guilt, trauma, abuse or loss. I am here to provide "a safe place" to process those hurts, while helping you increase self-awareness and gain skills to lead a more fulfilling life.

We don’t get to choose some things that happen to us as children, and we can grow up in environments that fall short of supporting the unique needs we might have had. If your story involves childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, bullying, family problems or other trauma, and you find yourself still impacted by these things as an adult, please reach out. I would love to help you move past the things that happened to you so that you can make room for all the wonderful possibilities life holds for you. You may not have had a choice then, but you have a choice now.

This is the MOMENT; this is YOUR space to HEAL. I'm a Latinx therapist who strongly believes that we all need/want someone to empower, validate and actively listen to us in an empathic/genuine way. I recognize that opening up about our emotional concerns/pain, and being vulnerable to someone else is not an easy thing to commit to. My main goal is to provide a space, where you feel safe to share your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions. My work is driven by a non-judgmental, compassionate, and integrative approach that will be tailored and focused on your needs and goals as a unique individual for your healing journey.

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.

Everyone functions uniquely, at times experiencing depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief. I help people around these issues, as well as introversion, high-functioning Asperger's, bipolar, OCD, and social awkwardness...relationship issues, self-esteem, living with narcissists, identity. We can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. We will focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire.

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.

Stress, anxiety, sadness & depression can make our lives difficult & sometimes we need to talk about it. We may need to learn to talk & communicate more effectively to understand each other & relate. As individuals in a relationship or not, we have factors that can contribute & affect our lives that we may not realize. When we make changes to ourselves or changes happen in our lives, it not only affects you, but those around us. Identifying these factors can help bring clarity to you & your family. Changes and life transitions can be tough & can cause depression, anxiety and problems between people. Talking helps change.

My client focus is working with those who hope to repair relationships past or present, have a desire to uncover past trauma and a curiosity or willingness to be open about life shaping experiences throughout their childhood and early adolescence. I aim to support clients who wish to bring their authentic self to the space, hone their inner strength, and wish to be a more confident version of themselves. Goals may include but are not limited to; cultivate strong and positive relationships, increase self-esteem and self-worth, find inner strength and power, as well as discover new life passions through the creative arts therapies.

I believe that we can all benefit from building a connection with others. Perhaps you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, attachment and relationship issues, or adjustment and life transitions, I would be happy to assist you! I offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate atmosphere, and listen deeply. I look forward to helping you rediscover the strengths you already have inside to achieve a fully authentic life. Together, we will bravely learn to navigate your feelings to help you find renewed clarity and meaning in your life.

In my practice, individuals who are dealing with mental health concerns will find a supportive, safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings. My approach is person-centered which means that I will meet each client where they are at in the counseling process and help them work toward their individual or relational goals.

I believe that each person holds within themselves everything they need to heal and grow in the ways they would like. I see the therapist's role as being one in which provides an environment of safety and care where the client can explore themselves authentically. It is through this authentic exploration, that the therapist can help the client discover how patterns and ways of being are keeping the client stuck and resulting in suffering. By bringing into awareness these aspects, the client and therapist can then work collaboratively to release the pain and explore new ways of being.

Do your emotions feel too big or like you struggle to feel anything at all? Do you feel overwhelmed easily or like you care too much? Do you feel unsafe to be your authentic self around others? Have you gone through a recent life change and suddenly feel unsure of where you're headed? Are you a lot harder on yourself than you would be on anyone else? Do you feel alone and need some support?--- You deserve to feel a balance in your emotions, a direction in your life, and a sense of safety and community. It may not feel like it right now, but all these things are possible.

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 have experience working with adults, children, couples, families and groups and treating a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, ADHD, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, OCD, self injury, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I often use mindfulness techniques, creative arts therapy, DBT and CBT to help clients find balance and joy.

Finding the right therapist is important and seeking help is a courageous step. You want a person with experience, who you can trust and feel comfortable with. You hope to be met with respect and genuineness as you resolve concerns such as sadness, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or wanting to focus on self-improvement. I offer a therapeutic environment of respectful challenge, acceptance, curiosity, and joy. My approach to therapy is "integrative." This means that I utilize skills from several types of therapy to find the approach that is the best fit for your needs and your strengths.
