Therapists in Guilderland, NY

Hello, my name is Dr. Brian Kelly (Ph.D.). I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York and Rhode Island. The most prominent component that comes to mind is rapport and therapeutic bond. If one cannot identify with their clinician, it can be quite difficult to open up and trust. Being vulnerable with your suffering and shortcomings is a difficult task but one worth undertaking. My focus is on assisting each individual with feeling accepted and supported while working to create change.

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis, and being familiar with what it's like to work in a health care setting.

My approach is integrative and concentrates on assisting individuals to explore and challenge habits/thoughts/patterns which impact emotions, behaviors, relationships, sleep, work, energy, motivation, and goals. Work through the environmental, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal and situational contributors to wellness. Assist with Identifying negative or distorted thinking patterns that often lead to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Provide psycho-education on specific life problems that may increase depression and help patients understand how to solve or improve on those problems.

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.

As a Mind/Body oriented Therapist, I understand that our emotions, behaviors, and physical body are sensitive to the stressors we face; we can literally FEEL anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. These stressors can affect our whole selves, often manifesting in negative thinking patterns and/or physical sensations of stress. Whether you are having trouble managing stress, and/or experiencing grief, loss, difficult emotions, relationship issues, anxiety/panic, or you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, working with your mind AND body through integrated psychotherapy, can help.

I am a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. My experiences include working with adolescents and young adults in both an outpatient setting as well as in higher levels of intensive care. I specialize in working with individuals with a wide range of struggles including those seeking to explore ways to better manage stress, build healthy relationships, navigate processing traumatic events, and identify healthy coping skills to increase ability to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I am an institute trained psychotherapist, working integratively, within a contemporary, relational, psychodynamic orientation. After more than two decades of practicing in New York City, I am now located in Western Massachusetts, though I maintain NY licensure. For me, at the heart of a relational, psychodynamic, approach is my effort to strive to meet people where they are and make the work understandable and accessible based on who you are. I respect and build upon the ways in which I am invited to join and help expand psychic space, so that areas which are troubling can be demystified, transformed and feel less daunting.

Do you feel uneasy, tense, or unsafe in your own body? Trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, or a nagging feeling or muscular tension that seem unrelated to your emotional state? I know that feeling; that sensation that we try to ignore but just won’t go away. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the stress of everyday life or the aftermath of trauma, your body is the container that holds it all—thoughts, feelings, sensations—all our lived experiences that make us who we are. Some of these experiences can help us thrive, feel safe and connected and some can make us feel stuck, uncertain, and reactive.

Do you feel that something in your life needs to change? I can help. I am a psychotherapist working in private practice who works with all ages and genders, with individuals, couples, and families. Maybe you need help with communication, chronic stress, or coping with life changes. My approach to each person is to meet you where you are, address your symptoms, and empower you to become the full expression of who you are meant to be. I incorporate psychodynamic psychotherapy, family systems approaches, bodywork, mindfulness, and cognitive and behavioral strategies as appropriate. My philosophy is client-centered and trauma-informed.

The perinatal period is a time of not only birth, but rebirth. It is a time of great change and adjustment, both physically and emotionally. I support clients on their journey to parenthood, offering grace, validation, and hope. Whether my clients are grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or adjustment difficulties, I tailor my interventions to meet their unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, emotions, and concerns without judgment. My hope is to empower individuals and families to thrive during the perinatal period and beyond.

I grew up in the Capital Region but moved to the west coast to pursue my graduate education and ended up staying for twenty years. Now I am back in the area with an office space in downtown Troy where I offer therapy services and also conduct psychological evaluations and other consultation services. I can conduct online sessions utilizing a HIPPA compliant video platform. Lastly, I do still offer, when possible, a free consultation to answer any questions and/or determine if you feel we would be a good fit.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of direct clinical experience. I specialize in working with culturally diverse young adults (aprx age 18-35) who are having difficulty regulating themselves and experiencing some level of emotional and/or behavioral distress, which sometimes leads to significant problems in school, at work, and/or in relationships with oneself and others. Often, this distress can be eased with increased self-awareness that supports your ability to regulate your internal experience so your emotions feel manageable, your thoughts are more comforting, and you have more control over your behavior.

I've been in the field of social services for over 25 years, and I've had the good fortune to work in many different settings and with a vast array of populations. As a therapist I create environments that help people feel safe and supported and assist people in building motivation towards positive change. My clinical work is grounded in research and evidence-based practices, and I always work at a pace that is tailored to your unique situation and goals. My approach to therapy is warm, individualized, compassionate, and flexible. I'm a humble man with a good sense of humor, and I'm sensitive yet direct when I communicate.

Are you struggling to feel like "yourself" again? Are you unable to feel settled, unable to keep up with your schedule or commitments? Are you feeling upset or more emotional for no apparent reason? Crises, be they large or small, disorient and leave us feeling uncertain, less able to rely upon and function like "ourselves." Growth and change are among the most positive and humanly adaptive qualities and yet the most uncertain and difficult experiences in life. At such times we want unbiased and reliable support to help restore our sense of self and help make positive choices for our lives.

Treatment is offered to those aged 6 and above and individual, family and group modalities are available. We are involved in teaching and hold faculty positions as well as providing consultation/ supervision to other professionals.

I love working with all kinds of people, individually, in families, and in groups. I was trained as a psychoanalyst and know the value of insight. But, over time I've found that when people feel warmly connected, difficulties fall away and life begins to open up. I feel fortunate in being able to work with people from varied ethnic and racial backgrounds, diverse relational and sexual orientations, and creative and professional worlds. I'm especially interested in working with those who suffer from 'invisible disabilities,' of mood, development, attention and learning and their loved ones.

The practice has availability for telehealth currently. I personally don't have openings. If you're reading this, chances are you're having some difficultly in your life and are ready for change. Therapy should be geared towards growth, empowerment and maximization of a person's innate strengths. My goal is to help with your journey in life. If you are looking for help in healing emotional wounds, finding better ways to cope with stress, and improving your relationships I might be able to help.
