Therapists in Vernon, NY

Hello there. Finding a counselor can be overwhelming, so I appreciate your presence. Research shows that meaningful change in therapy is grounded in a safe, warm, & accepting relationship. That’s why l work to build trust & learn about my clients' inner world.

Accepting new clients! I offer compassionate and professional counseling services centered around trauma-informed care, tailored to support individuals managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and various forms of trauma.

Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space is integral to my practice. I believe in empowering clients to direct their counseling journey, fostering self-advocacy and empowerment throughout our sessions.

Therapy can be a transformational process of self-discovery facilitated by deeper levels of awareness and change. I believe we have an inherent ability to heal ourselves, and my primary focus is to honor and trust your experience. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors can interfere with living a fulfilling life, causing problems in your life and relationships, and leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost or numb. I believe that therapy should meet the individual where they are within their unique set of circumstances.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise.

As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

Your marriage or primary relationships have started to suffer. You are ready to find real change. Or maybe you are just hoping to set yourself up for success personally or in your relationships. If you are looking for the added comfort of a lazy, goofy labrador retriever...

Hi! My name is Rikki Ziegen, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Oswego, NY, and owner of Opal Moon Counseling & Healing. I love to help people of all ages with their mental health needs.

Dr. Carrie Ernhout is a psychologist, a licensed marriage and family therapist, a licensed mental health counselor, and a registered yoga teacher. She has considerable clinical experience across multiple settings and enjoys working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Carrie tailors her approach to each client based on their needs, goals, and unique strengths. Practicing primarily from a psychodynamic framework, she may draw from various therapeutic interventions based on your particular needs.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is certified in both Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). For the past 10 years I have worked with youth, adults, couples, and families within outpatient, in-home, virtual, and residential settings. My goal in treatment is to empower and equip individuals seeking help with the insight, support, and strategies necessary to achieve, and sustain, wellness within the safety of a confidential and judgement-free space.

My client focus is working with those who hope to repair relationships past or present, have a desire to uncover past trauma and a curiosity or willingness to be open about life shaping experiences throughout their childhood and early adolescence. I aim to support clients who wish to bring their authentic self to the space, hone their inner strength, and wish to be a more confident version of themselves. Goals may include but are not limited to; cultivate strong and positive relationships, increase self-esteem and self-worth, find inner strength and power, as well as discover new life passions through the creative arts therapies.

Do you have relationships but still feel alone or unknown? Are your days busy but leave you depressed or unsatisfied? Do you wonder where you fit in and does your world feel small? A good life is one where you feel your life has purpose and meaning. It is one where you are connected to your authentic self, to other people, and to a sense of greater good. Therapy can be a key to finding these things. My work as a therapist is to provide safety, presence, knowledge, skills, and wisdom to help you find your path to your best life. I always strive to bring candor, kindness, practicality and depth to our sessions.

At this time, my practice has a waitlist and it is approximately a 6 week wait for a new client appointment. I specialize in working with sex and relationship difficulties and treat individuals and couples. I help people understand the relationship patterns they've developed and how they continue to play out, even though they aren't helpful anymore.

Many things can affect the ways we think, feel and interact with the world. Having the courage to call a counselor and say, “I need help”, is a huge step toward inviting change. My part in that journey is helping you develop positive trust based connections in an environment of support and acceptance. I use a strengths based, humanistic approach to meet you where you are in your life. Simply, I bring my authentic self and meet you where you're at.

My primary therapeutic focus is to help teenagers and adults to develop a stronger sense of self and to develop the coping skills they will need to address issues of anxiety, self esteem and self worth. I use a non-judgmental, trauma informed and holistic approach to help clients develop their ability to self soothe, including using body/movement and grounding techniques. I focus on both personal autonomy and understanding ourselves in relationships, with the goal of moving out of stuck feelings and thoughts to embody a more curious stance of your experiences and the world around you.

Step Ahead is a small strength-based group practice set up in a home like atmosphere. We work with all ages and include couples and family therapy. Our therapist are experienced in many evidenced-based practices including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing as well as Trauma based therapy. However, we believe our most valuable asset is to make others feel comfortable,safe, and welcome.

I have been doing counseling and psychotherapy for over thirty years. I enjoy working with individuals and will include their significant others, including spouse, partners, family members, friends and (yes) pets. As I see it, my job as a therapist is to work with you to create an environment in which you will feel emotionally safe, and one in which you can feel OK talking about all aspects of yourself. This allows us to use your personal strengths and resources to resolve your difficultes so you can become more like the person you want to be.
