Therapists in Cuba, NY

Our thoughts and experiences affect the way we view ourselves and the world. From the first session with a therapist, individuals should feel listened to and have increased hope for recovery. Addressing mental health issues can be overwhelming and scary, so I work with individuals to create a calming, safe, and trusting environment in the journey toward healing. One of the best decisions you can make is reaching out for help when you feel lost. I will be the guide to help you navigate your way and to help you find your strength. You are not alone.

Life is tough. Pain, both physical and mental, can overwhelm us, and we can lose all hope. But, there is always hope, always strength, always acceptance. If you feel overwhelmed and in pain, then its time to get to work. Together we can navigate through the suffering, heal wounds, experience growth, and find wisdom and meaning everywhere.

I work with individual adults in person and virtually to meet personal goals of improved emotional health and self confidence. Are you feeling increased anxiety, panic, depression, grieving a loss or reactivated past traumatic experiences? Are you experiencing changes in sleep? Find your mind won't stop worrying? Are you more easily agitated or engaging in undesired or unhealthy coping behaviors? Do you find it difficult to get going each day? Wonder if there are better ways of managing your life and relationships?

Surprisingly, the trickiest part isn't the treatment for what ails you, it's finding the willingness to do what's needed. Really, there are two kinds of therapy: There's therapy for your "symptoms," and there's therapy that helps you to embrace change and growth to begin with. Most people have been hampered in some way for some time, then something puts them over the edge and they are suddenly willing to see a therapist. People want to feel better or have more satisfying lives--it's the getting there that's the sticking point!

Lindy creates a safe and empathetic environment where clients can explore and process their experiences, reduce the emotional charge associated with them, and replace distressing beliefs with more adaptive ones.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

Should I stay or should I go? Sometimes stress gets in the way of the life we planned. Getting stuck is never fun...whether it is you, your partner, your children or your job. We become anxious about what to do next because we fear making a mistake. We know that we have to do something because doing nothing makes it worse, not better! Sometimes we simply need some guidance in how to move forward...sometimes help in letting go. I have been helping struggling couples, individuals and families for 30 years. Let me help you.

Feeling stressed, anxious, frustrated, stuck, sad, lonely, confused, or misunderstood? Curious to learn more about who you are? Therapy can help you better understand yourself and navigate the different feelings and situations that come up in your life. I am a clinical psychologist who works collaboratively and interactively with you to explore and address your concerns. Together we can identify your thoughts and feelings, and use that knowledge to make effective changes in your life. I recognize the unique pacing and goals of each client, and I will work with you to create a safe, meaningful therapeutic experience.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located within the village of Kenmore. I have experience in working with teens, college-aged young adults, and adults. I understand that seeking help can be difficult initially or even fear-inducing. I strive to make it a priority to create a comfortable environment to explore stressors that may be related to anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, grief and loss, or other life adjustments. I utilize a client-centered approach to provide psychotherapy incorporating skills of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Solution-Focused Therapy.
