Behavioral Issues Therapists in Mendon, NY

Hello. If you are on this site, it is likely things are not going well for your child at school, at home or with friends. You're worried, frustrated and possibly angry. When our children suffer, parents want to make it better. Sometimes, it can feel overwhelming. There is hope and there is help. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in work with children. I have extensive experience addressing the developmental, behavioral and emotional needs of children in diagnostic, school and family settings.

Struggling with substance use disorders can often be lonely, isolating and confusing. There is a lot of help offered out there, but so often what's being offered can be confusing and conflicting. Is addiction a behavior? A spiritual malady? A disease? Or is it something more? My own path of recovery took me many attempts and eventually led me to school to seek the science behind substance use disorders, to recovery rooms, to many therapists for personal recovery, and to lots of different religious avenues in search of meaning and understanding. What I found has illuminated my own path and practice. I love to pass these insights on.

I love working with high performing and Motivated clients/couples with trauma who use therapy as an avenue for healing. I'm a holistic therapist that has a balance between being client centered and personally guiding the individual towards self. I enjoy helping clients explore relationship patterns that are no longer serving them. Working with children and adolescents, I include the entire family. I have experience with kids and teens. This work requires commitment and motivation to change current patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. I believe accountability is paramount to change I provide a safe space.

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

I am a compassionate licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience working in school and university settings. I am dedicated to helping children and adolescents overcome the challenges they face in their academic and personal lives. I earned my Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Oregon, where I received specialized training on ADHD, learning disorders, and behavior disorders. I have passed on that knowledge over the past 20 years as a tenured faculty member in the School Psychology Program at RIT.

I have a Masters degree in Counseling with a concentration in School Counseling and an advanced certification in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I currently work as a mental health counselor and have also been working as a school counselor for the last several years. I previously worked in behavioral health home care management and have experience counseling adults and adolescents in both individual and group settings.

Stress and anxiety are increasingly common challenges we face as humans, for individuals and families alike. These concerns may arise from a variety of sources, including relational difficulties, societal pressures, and behavior challenges in children and teens. Having a space to focus on strengths, improve communication, identify tools for coping, and reflect on values, can be integral for not only healing but thriving. Through a warm, collaborative, curious stance, I utilize evidence-based treatments to create improvements in functioning and quality of life.

I have worked with various populations during my career as an LMHC and Private Practitioner. I have over 17 years of experience in working with people with developmental disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have particularly worked with individuals struggling with anxiety or social skill concerns in a group or individual setting. I also have extensive experience in working with people that may be in a crisis; assisting families with assessment, behavioral strategies and potential referrals. I have also worked in a hospital setting, where I performed Psychiatric Evaluations on individuals that were in crisis.

I love helping teens navigate life's stressors, including decisions about the future, relationships, mental health and behavioral difficulties. I'm also passionate about helping people with intellectual disabilities find empowering ways to regulate emotions and achieve their goals. My hope and intention is for each person to leave therapy with an increased awareness of their own strengths and gifts along with practical skills to help them reach their goals.

All persons engage in life better with feeling capable and having flourishing connections with others.
