Therapists in Wawarsing, NY

There is something so valuable about every person having a space that is their own, and to feel safe enough to say and feel whatever comes up for them in that space. I work from these core beliefs: That curiosity leads to understanding, creativity + play can heal, and comfort is something many of us could use more of these days.

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.

By rewiring your story, you'll experience a profound transformation that extends far beyond the therapy room.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

Hello! I'm Erica (she/hers), a psychotherapist and art therapist dedicated to supporting individuals in the NY area. My therapeutic approach is characterized by warmth and compassion, aimed at assisting those in their early adult life in navigating the complexities of relationships with others and themselves. Throughout my career, I've worked in non-profit agencies, gaining valuable experience with diverse age groups and diagnoses. In my private practice, I specialize in helping clients address challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationships, and unexpected life transitions.

I do not solve problems. I help you find solutions. By helping you identify dysfunctional thought and behavior patterns that don't work, and by helping you develop new and more present-based ways of functioning, I enable to live your life with greater confidence and joy.

Every baby deserves a healthy parent, and every parent deserves to feel empowered and supported during pregnancy and postpartum. If you are pregnant or have recently had a baby, this transition may be bringing along feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, or confusion. Seeking out support is a sign of strength, and can have positive impacts on the health of the individual, the parent-child relationship, and the family as a whole.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective that honors all aspects of a person as an integrated whole, using body-based somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques at the core of my practice. When we begin to slow down and explore our mind-body experience with curiosity and care, we can start to notice and transform old wounds and patterns that are interfering with our ability to live a full life of ease, passion and connection. I come from a place of co-creating a journey with you that deeply honors the wisdom and strengths you already carry, while also working with you to develop new resources to help address your needs.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you is a crucial first step to a successful therapeutic experience. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I will work collaboratively with you to tune into your struggles, explore new and creative ways to cope, and strengthen your ability to manage your emotional experiences. I believe in using art in conjunction to traditional talk based therapy, as I have seen it provides an alternative way of expressing oneself for children, adolescents, young adults, geriatric clients, and on an inpatient psychiatric unit.

I help people find their inner strengths, which may be difficult to recognize during times of stress, anxiety, depression or trauma. I offer a holistic, experiential approach to therapy that includes talk, creative expression and body-mind awareness. You can expect our work together to be collaborative and relational. With a warm, grounded and compassionate presence I offer you support to challenge old patterns and create a fulfilling life.

I work with people to support their emotional needs, offer tools for a life that feels less stressful and more fulfilling, and make space to process the uncomfortable and difficult feelings that often directly affect creativity, personal and professional relationships and growth.

I'm passionate about helping people achieve emotional well-being, personal growth, and positive change. I believe everyone has the potential for resilience and inner strength, and I want to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I believe that we never lose our creative spark, and that with the right tools, it can be accessed and implemented as a healing force. With creative expression, we can imagine real life scenarios through multiple lenses, and look into the past and the future through different perspectives. No matter your age, art-making can be used to make sense of our emotional landscape, foster self-compassion and organize our thoughts, which can get jumbled in the hustle and bustle of life. I utilize an integrative approach that marries both Art Therapy and traditional psychotherapy. No experience using art materials is needed!

Whether it is to grapple with something specific, or even just to get to know yourself better, there are so many reasons why you might be considering the support of a therapist. Know that whatever reason it may be, it is a valid one. It is so brave to listen to our own instincts when we find that the support system we have available to us needs to be bolstered. If you are here, that means you are ready to be on your own team. In a society that encourages not-belonging, not-enoughness, and lack of self-worth, you have taken a daring, revolutionary step in acknowledging that you deserve to be cared for.

Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well.
