Therapists in Valhalla, NY

Feel better faster with Intensive Therapy to address anxiety, sleeplessness, addictions, and depression. I specialize in the treatment of the long term effects of stress and trauma using the Intensive Therapy approach. Intensive therapy is structured psychotherapy designed to get to the root of the problem faster so clients can move on with their lives with less chronic symptoms. I use research-proven treatments integrated and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. My approach is creative and collaborative, helping my clients confront what is often painful and otherwise intolerable, and work towards true healing.

A commitment to treat the whole person: BODY, MIND, HEART AND SPIRIT. My practice is dedicated to treating children, adolescent, college students, their family members, and special needs. Adults are seen on a case by case. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Expressive Therapist, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I view the body, mind, and spirit as being integrally connected and my practice is based on neuroscience research. My approach is integrative, holistic, dynamic, and experiential. This perspective has led me to extensive post-graduate training in cutting-edge techniques that help speed up the healing process

Life isn’t always easy! Sometimes, even the strongest amongst us need help to work through life’s challenges. In today's complicated world, we all struggle with a multitude of stressors. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I can help! I am passionate about encouraging my clients to focus on post traumatic growth within an empathic, validating and supportive clinical relationship.

I am a trauma trained clinician who uses a mix of modalities to identify barriers to living the life you want, process what has you stuck, and make sure you have the skills you need to live a life with purpose. If you haven’t been to therapy or think it’s not for you, or you have a child who is protesting trying treatment, reach out to me; I tend to connect well with people who are treatment-resistant. I work with humans of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, non-suicidal self-injury, grief and bereavement, trauma & LGBTQIA+ folk. I am honored when someone commits to making this journey with me.

I have a passion for helping people of all ages improve their relationships, develop healthy coping skills and heal from relational injuries or trauma. In a safe and accepting environment we explore and understand the things that are not working well for you. There is always a reason for people's choices and behaviors, even those that cause significant problems. Once you understand the reason behind the behavior you can begin to make changes and adopt new healthier ways of living. I walk alongside and encourage you in this often difficult, but rewarding process.

Life has its way of sending us on paths that we’ve never actually intended to be on. Have you ever put an address in your GPS and while you’re driving, it starts saying, “Rerouting”? It’s sort of like living life with a plan (or even without one) and the unexpected sends you for a tailspin. Welcome to this thing we call ‘life.’ Especially during these days. *sigh and group hug*

The areas in which I have worked extensively with children have been Anxiety, Performance Anixiety, Depression, Attention Deficit, Transitional Difficulties, Social Skills, Divorce, Loss, Separation, Anger Managerment and Learning challenges.

I am bilingual/bicultural, graduate from Fordham University. I have specialized training in trauma and family violence with an emphasis on the study of victimology. My clinical experience is focused with treating children, adolescents and adult survivors of trauma. In addition to my work with this specialized population, I have treated adults presenting with marital conflict and individuals with concerns around anxiety, depression and difficulty with mood regulation. I place a strong emphasis on the patient being the change agent and focuses on bringing patient’s individual strengths and interests to the surface.

At Clear Mind Psychology, we treat children, adolescents and adults experiencing a wide variety of psychological symptoms including those associated with difficult life transitions including divorce, death of a loved one, fertility issues and the process of developing gender/sexual identity.

Most of our patients have complex needs and are craving clarity and an effective plan.

I specialize in perinatal mental health including postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. I also treat students entering or in college. I welcome all parents (new. experienced, hopeful) to my office. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, with a healthy dose of humor thrown in. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together, at your pace, to identify your goals and areas where you would like to see change. Give me a call to see how I can help!

The healing process is vulnerable and courageous. Whether you seek healing for yourself or your child, a safe holding space that provides supportive containment and compassion is so vital. I embrace each individual with the knowledge that one is the expert of their own lives. My role is to provide a space to access deeper wisdom and personal expression. I began my career in early childhood education and have brought my knowledge of early childhood development into my work as a therapist, with a focus on attachment, sensory processing and the nervous system constantly informing my work.

Seeking help when you are no longer able to manage problems or cope with distress requires courage and self-awareness. Choosing a therapist who supports your growth and healing is an essential part of the process. Your story, circumstances and needs are unique, and I believe that therapy should be tailored to fit. My approach is strengths based and trauma sensitive. I specialize in supporting clients through grief and loss, processing traumatic events, navigating life transitions and managing anxiety. I have specific training in EMDR and perinatal & postpartum depression, anxiety and mood disorders.

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. I also work with parents of estranged teenage and adult children to help them negotiate the distance in the relationship in ways that promote healing. 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.

Transform Your Life Through Therapy. For over 15 years, I've cultivated a safe, judgment-free sanctuary for clients to self-discover and heal. As an attuned, compassionate therapist, I gently guide you through your journey. My integrative approach draws from evidenced-based methodologies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Trauma and Attachment Based Therapies, mindfulness practices, and somatic psychotherapy. By rewiring your story, you'll experience a profound transformation that extends far beyond the therapy room.

What are the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves? Where do we learn them? Therapy is a great place to start creating new stories that are more aligned with your values and desires. I believe that healing happens in the relationship and approach therapy as a creative, collaborative experience between therapist and client, where humor, kindness, and self-expression are valued and encouraged. My areas of expertise include working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and family conflict, though I work with individuals of all ages to help them manage the stressors of life and achieve greater self-awareness

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.

My goal as your therapist is to support and empower you to focus on your strengths in order to become the best version of yourself possible. I help my clients cope with the psychological and emotional difficulties that underlie our unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I am multi-culturally trained to work with people from diverse backgrounds. I ensure that regardless of sex, race, orientation, each client is treated equally and with respect in a safe, welcoming environment. My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering.
