Therapists in Stone Ridge, NY

Maybe you woke up today & said, "shit, I really need to find a therapist." Maybe you've said that many mornings. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same cycles and wanting to stop, yet you keep spinning. Cycles of all types - anxiety, depression, self-sabotage, addiction, productivity issues and more. It leaks into different areas of your life - work, relationships, self-esteem... and it’s exhausting. Maybe you feel stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. You want to feel more at peace, to have better relationships, and to understand more yourself. Luckily, therapy can help get you there.

Birth and motherhood are meant to be addictive. Yet so many of us feel anxious in pregnancy, experience birth trauma and struggle postpartum. In a culture where mothers are not supported, and the system prioritizes "safety" above all, women are often left stuck in survival stress after birth of their child. But please know that healing, love, and joy is available for you. Whether you wish to process and integrate your birth experience, prepare for the transition to the new role, or address your hopes and needs in pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to walk alongside and hold space for you as you navigate the perinatal journey.

I specialize in working with millennials, people in creative or non-traditional careers, and the LGBTQ+ community. Clients often come to me because they realize they've gotten stuck somewhere along the way. Often clients are ready for change but need support figuring out where to begin. We work together to build a relationship grounded in trust and authenticity, so you can feel safe to explore and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Are you struggling with worry, overwhelm, and stress? Are you feeling limited or stuck in life? When personal exploration is supported and encouraged, we decide who we are and how we want to live our lives. I provide a therapeutic space that is compassionate and engaging so that you can gain insight and uncover new paths forward. I aim to help you to learn and grow from the past to live an intentional and empowered life in the present. My work emphasizes developing both practical tools to help you in the short-term and deeper healing/trauma work.

At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.

I have years of experience working with folks of all ages in various settings towards their mental health and life goals. With curiosity, humor, and compassion, I strive to create a space to explore the oftentimes messy worlds within and around us. I believe we all have an innate profound ability to heal ourselves that can be activated with the right support.

Feeling lost or stuck? Ready to begin coming to terms with yourself? Want to come to a better understanding of yourself in your relationships? Interested in digging through your life and getting a firmer grasp on your identity? Are there childhood experiences that you’ve yet to fully deal with that creeps into your bones, your daily stressors and your relationships? Whether you've heard you're "too hard on yourself" or know that you would never treat anyone else the way you're treating yourself, you've finally made it to therapy. You’re taking the first step. It’s time to think, talk and create meaning.

It's hard to say when things 'shifted', but you realize that you barely recognize the person you've been living with. It's both heart wrenching and horrifying to imagine that you and your partner have grown so far apart. You're questioning your relationship - maybe ALL of your relationships. You're a stranger to your partner, and they, to you. What brought us together to begin with? And why can't we work through even the simplest things? At some point maybe you convinced yourself that 'this will pass'. Maybe it started when you got that new job, when your kids were born, when... But now, the distance between you can't be ignored.

When moving through difficult times, it can be hard to remember our innate goodness, let alone act from that place to meet the challenges of living in a complex world. Clients come to me with a variety of concerns - significant life transitions, relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, depression, career changes, and the real stress of simply being human in such uncertain times. Together, we can unpack these issues to help you move along in your personal journey.

My name is Soren and I work with children and adults of all ages to help people grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic to them. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly.

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.

We believe you are worthy of all you desire. It takes courage to examine your life, struggles, and identity on a deeper level in order to live in a way that makes you feel whole. Thompson Counseling Services was founded to help people find providers and not get stuck on a waiting list! Our experienced team will help you uncover the strength and motivation you need to make real change. Choosing a therapist that makes you feel seen, accepted and safe is key to getting the most out of therapy. Get the direction and support you need to make the changes you want.

Welcome. I work in a collaborative and compassionate style to help further understand and address the concerns that led you to this site. You are likely in search of relief from the way you are currently feeling. All of us employ coping strategies, but when constant worry, depression, relational, or life stress begin to overwhelm these strategies, it is often time to seek some professional help. We will work together to outline a plan to provide you with resources to reduce your current distress, facilitate growth, and make meaningful life changes.

We repeat unwanted behavioral patterns we learned during childhood because it is comfortable and on some level, it feels safe. The focus of my work as a therapist is to help you identify those patterns in your life so you can start to make a conscious decision to shift, and leave behind what isn’t serving you. Together, we will work on developing your self-awareness so you can eliminate the obstacles that stand in the way of your happiness.

Note: I am not currently accepting new clients; check back soon. I often work with clients dealing with anxiety, grief, OCD, feelings of stuckness or dissatisfaction, and other issues that may require new ways of approaching themselves, others, and the world in which they live.

Are you facing personal or professional issues and want to feel heard, safe and validated? Do you feel stuck in your daily life, do you battle with self-worth or maintaining strong relationships? I specialize in working with adolescents, families, parents, & adults who want to make a change, but need the guidance and skillset to take control of their lives.

After years as a performing artist and opera singer, I recognized that creativity, play, and being known are integral to our sense of well-being. I discovered my passion for supporting people through creativity and talk therapy to pursue fulfilling and meaningful lives. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment to process your experiences and identify your strengths and values. I work with adolescents through late adulthood with a wide range of diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related, OCD, neurodivergent, and personality disorders.

I approach psychotherapy with cultural humility and a growth mindset. As a South-Asian woman continuing to navigate the nuances of my bi-cultural identities, I appreciate the contributions of complex sociocultural issues to an individual’s sense of self, holistic well-being, and meaning in life. My educational and clinical experience thus far has fueled my passion towards working with underserved populations including BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

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.
