Attachment-based Therapists in Mendon, NY

I specialize in helping clients of all ages, with a primary focus on pre-K to adolescent children. I offer virtual appointments for adults during the week and in-person sessions on weekends. My goal is to improve functioning in the home, at school, at the workplace, and in relationships. I use a brain-based approach with attachment-based, mindfulness, play, narrative, and art therapy to address barriers and promote mental wellness. In my practice, I prioritize collaboration with parents when working with children to improve overall family functioning.

During this difficult time, we can all use extra support.. I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 13 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are and provide support and strategies to guide them to achieving their therapeutic goals. I am currently accepting new patients and have several slots available at this time. However, I am now only able to offer telehealth (video or phone). Email only for new client inquiries please, and please check insurance information below before contacting- all accepted insurances listed.

I am not currently taking new clients - As a licensed clinical social worker I have used my work to focus on the complex needs of women and young people in a time when the world feels overwhelming. It can feel that there is never the right, or enough, time to focus on our true selves. A universal truth is that once we start to make space for ourselves, within ourselves, time becomes more precious. We start to see the value in true self care and taking time and space for ourselves. Together, we will use a solution focused approach to help you feel empowered and move your life in a more positive direction.

Have you reviewed multiple write ups on Psychology Today looking for the right therapist? Do you feel confused because there are so many individuals listed that are willing and ready to help? The right "fit" is so important to me and I hope that you might consider my holistic and uplifting approach to treatment. I am so honored and humbled to help people on their path to healing and I strive to keep therapy relevant and comfortable. Most clients tell me, "You are not like any therapist that I have ever met before!". I always take this as a compliment.

Feeling overwhelmed? Flooded with painful emotion? Out of touch with yourself? When we don't have the relational support to help us during times of distress, we tend to find other ways to cope with our suffering or to disconnect altogether. Although these coping strategies may have kept us alive and functioning in the past, they may not be serving our best interests. Therapy can be a place to learn more adaptive ways of coping and to use even difficult experiences to grow as a person. As a psychologist, I use research-proven techniques to help people who are in the midst of crises as well as people who feel broken and unhelpable.

Welcome and congratulations on making the first step in your mental health journey! -Currently accepting new clients for both Telehealth and in person sessions - Email is the fastest and most direct way to get in touch for new client inquiries. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and parents but am open to all individuals. Anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, family conflict, and navigating life challenges are just a few of the problem areas I help clients with. No matter what area you need a mindful ear to listen or talk with, I feel blessed to be a part of your journey.

Therapy offers a space to verbalize your experiences, sort through them, and connect them to feelings. This begins the process of change and self awareness. My priority is to provide a space where you can do this without judgment and feel safe, heard, and understood. I am also the kind of therapist who offers helpful insight and doesn't just sit back and listen, who can help you to see the role you play in your own life and help you grow.

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

We are confidential, open-minded, comprehensive and whole-person centered. The spectrum of human sexuality is vast, and our goal is helping you find your own wellness regarding sexual issues. The Rochester Center for Sexual Wellness provides care for common and complex sexual, intimacy, and relationship issues in people of all genders and ages. The Center is comprised of a sexual medicine specialist as well as a team of certified sex therapists and sex therapists in training. In addition to medical evaluation and treatment of sexual issues, we offer individual, relational, and group therapy.

Many of my clients find me because they have tried "everything" and nothing seems to work. With long histories of challenging experiences, negative thought patterns, and emotional overload, it can be hard to know where to start. I help clients identify the root causes of their negative emotional states, learn skills to cope with current distress, and assist in processing through past traumas to find a place of healing. Paying equal attention to mind and body, I help bring a sense of calm to both. Not sure if I'm a good fit? Email & we'll chat to find out. I'll provide information and resources if we don't match.

Are you trying to navigate relationship difficulties? Do your conflicts seem to repeat themselves over and over?

Your relationship doesn't have to suffer any longer, there is a way through your unique circumstances. Let us help you find the connection that you truly desire in your relationship.

I seek to create a trusted space where individuals can be themselves, speak their minds, and explore aspects of their past or present that they find difficult. I support children, adolescents, and young adults, along with their family members, to address a variety of challenges. My therapeutic philosophy is relationally driven, trauma-informed, and flexible; we will collaboratively work to develop support that is right for you or your child.

Are you a parent or caregiver navigating the complexities of raising a child with behavioral challenges while also coping with your own experiences of trauma? You are not alone. As a licensed mental health counselor with years of experience working with children and families, learning about child development, trauma, and relational neuroscience, I specialize in supporting caregivers like you who are feeling stressed, burned out, and overwhelmed, offering a compassionate and understanding space where you can find healing, empowerment, and practical solutions without judgement.

I truly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy no matter what you are struggling with, celebrating, or conflicted about. I’m committed to helping individuals be their best selves by providing a comforting and safe environment where you can explore anything you are looking for support with. Whatever your life situation is, you don't have to manage it alone. We can unpack it together. My goal as a psychotherapist is to bring out an individual's ability to thrive at their utmost potential. I combine a personalized therapeutic approach with evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy.

I offer insightful counseling in a welcoming, judgement free space. I specialize in couples therapy, relationship issues, and helping individuals cope with and overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression. I focus on the whole person, knowing no one is simply the sum of their symptoms.

I am eager to work with you to make things better in your life! I have over 20 years of experience working with adult, child/adolescent and family issues. Many people suffer unnecessarily prior to treatment with problems such as mood disruption, anxiety, relationship stress, difficult life changes, school issues, family problems, and work stress, to name a few. We can work together to help you cope better and move forward in ways that are best for you (and/or your child/family).
