Therapists in Howes Cave, NY

Therapy gives you an opportunity to transform and move toward a deeper understanding of yourself as life unfolds. Amidst times that may feel dark, overwhelming, or lacking vitality, anxiety and dissociation can manifest in so many ways that feel fragmenting and harmful to the self and body. We can be strongly defended against our unconscious wishes, fantasies, and unmet needs. How and why we behave, think, get stuck or feel fear, love, shame, and joy are layered with so much meaning. Together, we may find ways to build resilience, steps toward action, self-awareness, fulfilling connection, and a sense of wholeness.

I work with adults and teens seeking support in navigating depression, anxiety, complex trauma, experiences of interpersonal and/or systemic violence, grief, relational difficulties, chronic illness/disability, neurodivergence, and identity exploration. I am particularly passionate about working with queer and trans folks, sexual trauma survivors, activists, organizers, artists, writers, educators, healers, and anyone who struggles to feel safe or at home in their bodies.

Are you an adult navigating the challenges of school, career, and relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about your future? I am a biracial and multicultural psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults, couples, and college and graduate students. I understand the unique challenges that you may be facing, and I am here to help you navigate this uncertain time. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we will develop strategies to help you reclaim your life and flourish.

How do you find the right therapist? Education and training is important, but at least as important is finding a therapist with whom you can truly be yourself. I've been told by my patients that the reasons they value therapy with me are that I'm easy to talk to, I really listen, and I'm interactive. They say I "get" them, which helps to develop trust and safety. It can be difficult to talk about your personal struggles with someone you don't know. My warm, calm and non-judgmental nature makes it a little bit easier. I have 30 years of experience, deep empathy and a sense of humor.

Are you encountering life's challenges and seeking compassionate support to navigate them? I specialize in aiding individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on adolescents and adults.

I am presently accepting new clients for Parent Coaching only. I presently offer Attachment Parenting Coaching for individuals, couples, and ex's who are co-parenting in separate households.

My approach to working with parents is supportive, nonjudgmental, and includes hands on attachment based parenting strategies. Attachment Parenting creates structure and trust while bringing the child closer to the parent in an age appropriate way. All my therapy and coaching is offered online.

Hello! I love working with individuals, couples, & families experiencing relationship conflict, climate distress, life changes, coping with death or loss, or problems of anxiety, stress, or fear.

Ready to talk about it? Let's start therapy together! I work with children, adolescents, and adults all across the gender spectrum and in the LGBTQIA+ community. I provide education to families, discuss concerns related to gender and sexuality, and review the co-occuring mental health issues that sometimes accompany different gender identities. For trans individuals, the world of puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and changing name markers can be overwhelming—I'm here to help with that, too. I’m happy to write gender-affirming letters for procedures or institutions.

Hi, I'm Griffin! I specialize in gender and sexuality, including gender transition, kink, and nonmonogamy. I work with adults, couples, and teens ages 14+. I take a non-pathologizing, interdisciplinary approach, blending tools and insights from behavioral economics, creative writing, and positive psychology. I meet my clients with gentle humor, professionalism, and curiosity.

As a therapist I firmly believe that transformative growth and liberation depend on first developing a trusting relationship. My individual clients are looking for space to discuss anxiety, pressures from work and family, and daily stressors with someone who recognizes the connections to social identity. When working in relationships—whether romantic, sexual, familial—my clients value the safety to each express their needs and better understand one another.

You feel disconnected from life & from your body. You struggle to connect in your relationships, are unhappy in your career, feel hopeless for the future or move through the world in a fog. You’ve been shamed for who you are & now you speak to yourself with harshness & can’t ever feel like enough inside your own head. You’ve been told that who you are is somehow inherently flawed. I help people increase compassion, reduce shame and feel a greater sense of belonging within themselves and their bodies.

I want to help each of my clients find a sense of health - emotionally, physically, and sexually. Let's work together to sort through the things causing disruption in your everyday life including intimate relationships, sexuality, or general life transitions (starting or ending a relationship, coming out, exploring non-traditional relationships, etc.) I am committed to helping you move through anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, and shame in order to help you increase connections with yourself and your community.

Life can be filled with unexpected challenges, stress, and uncertainty. My passion is to assist children and adolescents in overcoming personal struggles.

Together, we will identify your unique needs and goals in a safe, non-judgmental therapy setting. You can begin the journey towards feeling better about yourself and your life through therapeutic support.
