Cancer Therapists in Saratoga Springs, NY

I offer clinical support to adults and couples experiencing life transitions and challenges that create stress, tension, anxiety, and depression. I use a holistic, strengths-based approach, understanding that within all of us lie resilience and a deep desire to overcome limitations, and to find peace and happiness. My goal as a therapist is to support people in empowering themselves. We all face challenges at different points in our lives. Overcoming these challenges provides an opportunity to grow, learn, transform and find meaning.

I work exclusively with couples who are seeking a secure relationship. Relationships are complex for so many reasons, but often not the reasons you think. Together we figure out what gets in the way of you having a relationship that is based on security and true collaboration. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." said Mahatma Gandhi. Many couples I meet in my office lack the solid foundation to build a peaceful, vital relationship. Without a secure base and solid structure, partners can't relax and be themselves. A secure relationship both grounds and develops each partner.

I am a registered nurse as well as a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years in practice. My clients include individuals as well as couples. I am currently using the Gottman method for treating relationship issues and am certified as a level two counselor. Now accepting only private pay clients for this method as more time is required for this to be successful. Please feel free to research John and Julia Gottman‘s method of couple counseling .My approach to treating anxiety and depression is eclectic and tailored to the needs of the individual. Included in there. I have many years of treating eating disorders, as well.

Getting started is the hardest part. This is true of most things requiring significant time and energy. The decision to seek psychotherapy may not sound difficult, but acting on it can be. Seeking help suggests that we can't do it alone. Whether or not we can, I believe we shouldn't have to. Life is hard. Relationships are complicated. The world throws us a curveball and we find ourselves overwhelmed, disappointed or depressed. We lose a loved one, a job or have trouble finding meaningful work. We make bad decisions, or when we make good decisions, things don't turn out as we expect.

My approach towards helping you is to create a supportive space to bring you comfort to your current experiences.I believe it's necessary to accept where you are and to understand where you want to go. I have 20+ years of experience providing treatment and consultations with reputable organizations. I invite you in to talk to explore the changes in your life that may facilitate healthy growth.

My style is to create partnerships through warmth and unconditional positive regard, trust, empathy, and humor. Together, we will shine a light on your inherent resiliency and strength while discovering ways to build on those things. Therapy is most effective when you begin to see change early on so we set clear measurable goals from the start. I will help you identify where you would like to be and what has kept you from getting there. Each of us holds wisdom unique to our experience.

Dr. Magnell is dedicated to providing spiritual direction and life coaching to women seeking empowerment, grounding, and change.

For over 35 years,I have been helping adolescents ,adults and families. I realize that knowing you need help is not the same as knowing what kind of help you need.My role is to facilitate that process with you; to provide the guidance, support and collaboration that will help us to identify how you can most effectively reach your personal goals and improve your quality of life.As we move through that process, you can rely on me to be honest, forthright and compassionate; to work with you, side by side, as you face the challenges ahead.

Life can be difficult and so can college. Talking about it is a great way to help make things go smoother. I’m here to help you talk and connect in a way that makes it easy to do so. We can discuss anything you want from the past, present or future and find ways together to better understand the challenges that you face today. I am here to let you know that you can tell me anything and you are not alone. Creating a safe space to have good conversations about your life is what I do best. Sometimes it's hard to talk about things that give us anxiety or depression but the best medicine is talking.

I work with people who want to grow - emotionally, intellectually, professionally - in order to be more satisfied with their lives. I am an active partner in my clients' emotional growth and well-being. When people call me, whether in crisis or struggling with one of life's ordinary challenges, they are often in pain, feeling alone and overhwelmed. I help them unpackage their beliefs and ways of understanding and doing their lives. Together, we are better equipped to discover and create new possibilities: new ways of seeing, relating and doing life and relationships.

Life can be hard for all of us sometimes. You try your best but maybe you just feel stuck. In addition to personal distress, we are coping with uncertain times which can complicate our challenges. With 30 years experience, I would like to help you take stock and move forward. Whether its uncovering old wounds, taming anxiety or experiencing yourself in a more positive way, we can explore the path together. Call for a free phone consultation to determine if we're a good fit.

How are grief and loss defined? If we broaden the boundaries, the definition can include not only death, but also adjustment to divorce, job loss, abuse, addiction, and estrangement . Individuals can be left feeling anchorless and disconnected. Unprocessed grief and trauma has the potential to lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and vulnerability. I offer a collaborative approach that is attuned to the client’s presenting needs. In this focused work, I facilitate continuing bonds with a loved one or assist in the adjustment to a loss or transition.

We all wear many hats in this world, whether it be parent, daughter/son, partner, friend or boss and I can teach you how to do it all and not be burnt out: how to live your life qualitatively, not quantitatively. Together I can help you learn how to be a choice maker and creator of your life-teaching you how to enjoy your whole life. I work with all ages and have 33 years experience as a psychotherapist. My style is conversational, collaborative and direct. I particularly love to help families &/or couples have those hard conversations that they are not talking about.

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

Life can be filled with unexpected challenges, stress, and uncertainty. My passion is to assist children and adolescents in overcoming personal struggles. With over six years of clinical experience, I have helped individuals with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief/loss, work/school issues, and relationship problems. Together, we will identify your unique needs and goals in a safe, non-judgmental therapy setting. You can begin the journey towards feeling better about yourself and your life through therapeutic support.

People arrive at a therapist's office, having tried their best way of getting along in the world, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and so forth. A universal reason for seeking help is distress in a primary relationship. In therapy, I help individuals understand how past relationships with parents, siblings and significant others impacts relationship troubles in the here and now. A trusting therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity for exploration of one's own mind at the deepest level - healing, new pathways of relating, greater authenticity, vitality & living a life that's true to one's self.

Do you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, depressed, anxious and isolated? Do you find yourself asking "how did I get here in my life?" The truth is we all ask ourselves this question in different ways. My goal is too help you find your way back to a life that you enjoy. After major life changes, some we created, and others that we could not control, we are left to pick up the pieces of our lives and put our lives back together again. However, the pieces never quite fit back together in the same way. The picture looks different. The experience feels different.

I deeply respect your wanting to address something in your life that keeps you from feeling happy and whole. Maybe it's a recent event or loss, or a troubled relationship, or maybe a past pain that continues to hurt. Perhaps you are feeling a lack of purpose, or a lack of connection with who you really are. The role of a pastoral counselor is to be a compassionate listener and guide - someone who can sit with you as you explore a deeper self-understanding, reflect back to you your insights, discuss options and goals, then assist you in designing an effective path of healing and change. I am honored to offer you my support.

Are you in a place of transition in your life? I understand that life can be full of planned and unplanned change. Maybe you want to get a new perspective on your life. I enjoy providing the support individuals need to move forward and find the peace they seek. In my practice, I address relationship, career, health, and family issues with clients of all ages. As a Christian therapist, I provide respectful and non-judgmental therapy in an environment where you can explore your concerns securely and confidentially. I understand that when you are in conflict about what to do, it helps to have an unbiased person to hear your thoughts.
