Therapists in Sherrill, NY

Sometimes life can be be very hard and you can feel like no one cares or is willing to listen. We've all been there, but I'm here to tell you that there is help available. I offer short term and long term therapy, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and a person centric/strength-based approach to provide a non-judgmental atmosphere for you to work on your problems. I am a veteran of 24 years, and have over 14 years experience as a first responder/law enforcement. I have training in trauma and grief counseling as well.

Would you like to experience more joy in your life and relationships? I can help you get unstuck, stop living from fear, learn how to trust again, regain or improve your self-esteem, and simply work on feeling better. I offer sessions in the more-than-human world, out in the fresh air, supported by nature in a private space and/or in the wonderful healing presence of horses. SpiritedScience® programs offer solace in the spirit(s) of nature and are especially appropriate for those who may not thrive in a conventional psychotherapy setting. I also offer virtual sessions for those who cannot or prefer not to travel to the farm.

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.

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive place to explore possibilities for change, growth, and healing in your life or in a relationship? Whether you're struggling to make sense of traumatic life experiences, navigating relationship, family, or parenting concerns, or simply want to improve your ability to prioritize and manage your own mental health and well-being, I'm here to help. Together, we will work to build a trusting and authentic relationship where you will feel validated, supported, and empowered as you work toward your counseling goals.

All persons engage in life better with feeling capable and having flourishing connections with others. However sometimes current or previous life experiences create disconnection, friction and isolation. Are you struggling with personal behaviors, relationship challenges or coping with stress? Not feeling like you are the best version of yourself? Do your emotions overwhelm you at times? I hope to support you in understanding your unique experiences and developing a healthy path for healing and coping. I want to empower you to move from surviving life to thriving.

My practice is focused on helping you from the moment you realize that the ways you have been getting by seem to be causing more distress than relief. You may be noticing imbalance in your relationships, that you are putting off life changes and goals until you feel "good enough", or you might have a lot of fear of things feeling chaotic or not in control. While I address a broad range of concerns, a lot of the people I work with are struggling in particular with patterns around food, dieting, and body image that have left them feeling exhausted, defeated, and out of control.

Welcome!! Let’s begin by acknowledging that seeking therapy can be an intimidating process.

Are you at a loss to understand yourself? Maybe you don't understand why you are depressed, anxious, prone to swings of mood, or having difficulty experiencing satisfying relationships. Do you want to suffer less? Like yourself and your life better? I listen, I care, and I help you understand how your experiences, and your thoughts related to those experiences, relate to your suffering (depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, relationship difficulties, poor self-esteem, anger, shame). We collaborate to ID what you want to change in your life and how to achieve that, while accepting what can't be changed or controlled.

Imagine having everything you need to be the "best" you, but not knowing how to fully access it. This word "resilience" has become such a popular term and it can be amazing to help us cope with life, if we know how it truly works and how to access it. I specialize in youth and adult anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma and much more. Although most of these issues can cause problems in daily life. These problems are manageable and I am willing to help you create the narrative of your best self.

Therapy is a journey where you learn more about yourself, your internal experience, and your loved ones in order to change your life based on your own goals and values. I can help you and/or other members of your family gain flexibility in your thoughts and actions through experiential skill development. At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional expression; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My goal is to create a warm and safe environment where emotions, thoughts, memories, and other internal experiences can be explored with compassion and understanding.

I'm devoted to helping individuals heal from negative body image, harsh societal standards, and harmful patterns of behavior.

My passion is to help children find themselves through discovering their strengths, likes/dislikes, coping strategies and effective ways to communicate. Children are not born with the ability to know how they are feeling and the best ways to communicate their wants and needs. Usually they show us through their behavior. It is a great pleasure of mine, to help equip them with these skills. Above all, I love teaching people to believe in themselves because believing is the first step in achieving your goal.

I have experience spanning over thirty years and have worked with a wide variety of clients and famililes from diverse backgrounds and with a wide array of presenting issues. I have a passion for families and multigenerational issues as well as individual clients from such families.
