CDPHP Therapists in South Salem, NY

I am currently accepting only daytime clients. I have worked in the social work field for approximately 25 years. I received my Master of Social Work degree from New York University in 1996 and received a Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in 2014. I believe in helping clients work through their everyday challenges in their lives, using a variety of treatment modalities in a non-judgmental, supportive, and comfortable environment. These modalities include, but are not limited to insight oriented, and cognitive behavioral therapies.

Do you want to FEEL MORE EMPOWERED? Is the stress of daily life overwhelming you? Would you like to learn skills to help you cope better with life's challenges and feel more confident in your choices? During my 30 + years of experience I have been helping people overcome difficulties in their lives. I have treated people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and problems with anger. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapies such as DBT and trauma related therapies such as EMDR to help clients achieve a more satisfying life.

I have served for 27 years as a pastor and have significant experience counseling individuals on a wide range of issues. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I focus on both the individual and the relationships that form the individual. I respect my clients and am very open to including spirituality (in any form) within the sessions. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples or families bring wholeness into their lives.

At Recovery & Wellness Mental Health Counseling Services, PLLC, we specialize in substance use and impaired driver services.

As Substance Abuse Professionals, we provide assessment, education, and treatment for DOT and other employees who have been referred to a SAP following a positive test for alcohol or other drugs.

Have you ever been in a therapy session where the therapist sits quietly, listens attentively, nods politely an when you leave you're wondering what you got out of the session. You will find me to be highly engaged in your session offering ongoing feedback and dialog as well as positive responses and support to your therapy process. I offer an integrative strength based approach to develop the tools you need to find inner peace and calm in this stressful world we share. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, PTSD, living with chronic illness attachment issues and supporting college students cope with stress and anxieties.

I offer counseling services to adults facing the significant challenges of life, personal distress, relationship issues and trauma. My therapeutic approach involves joining with clients to harness the best in them in an alliance focused on resolving long standing problems. We'll work together to expand self-understanding in order to cultivate your strengths and overcome barriers to personal and relational health. I also guide couples looking for renewal to get unstuck by offering tools and insight that cultivate their inner potential for resilience, intimacy, and desire.

The prerequisite to true freedom is to decide that you do not want to suffer anymore. You must decide that you want to enjoy your life and that there is no reason for stress, inner pain, or fear. Every day we bear a burden that we should not be bearing. We fear that we are not good enough or that we will fail. We experience insecurity, anxiety, and self-consciousness. All of these things burden us tremendously and deplete our energy.

Are you struggling in one or more of these areas…Do you have poor communication with loved ones that result in arguing without resolution? Do you have conflict with your children and don’t know how to help? Are you unhappy in your marriage? Do you have stress? Is your mind over thinking or obsessing? Feeling overwhelmed? Are you up all night? Are you angry? Are you or a loved one dealing with addiction? Are you unhappy with your job? Are you trying to make a change in life and don’t know what to do? Are you feeling depressed? Do you lack motivation? Do you have panic attacks? Are you suffering from anxiety?

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Delmar. What continues to amaze me as a therapist is how resilient people are. I've worked with people going through traumatic experiences and I've seen them go on to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. I strongly believe people can overcome the immense obstacles life throws their way. I have a particular interest in working with younger men (20's and 30's), as they face unique challenges and historically have been less likely to seek help.

With so many things going on in the world, it is often easy to neglect one's own mental health. Just as the physical health is important, so is the mental health. We provide a safe, private, and non-judgmental space, allowing clients the freedom to express themselves. It also important to understand that enlisting help is a sign of strength as it takes a tough person to admit when they need the support of a mental health professional.

My practice reflects my core values of kindness, trust, respect, and genuineness. My approach to therapy isn’t one of rigidity but connection and collaboration. Together, we work in a non-judgmental space to explore and discover what is blocking you in your path. While my area of expertise is in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, I can successfully help guide you through experiencing a life transition or struggles in a relationship. Obstacles come in many forms but my goal is always the same: an effective, solution-focused treatment.

My therapeutic style is active and engaged. I provide clients with empowering tools to become self-efficient in society, relationships, work and life. We will work together to find the treatment type that is best for you.

Everyone has their own unique and idiosyncratic means of getting in their own way whether or not they are aware of it. Unfortunately, we are also attached to these ways of hindering ourselves. This is perhaps at the source of most experiences of suffering and can manifest in various symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, inhibitions and relationship or sexual issues.

Navigating life’s circumstances can be complicated and challenging. Although we must find the strength to get past the roadblocks in our lives, we don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help us get to know ourselves so that we can find new ways to respond when the pressure of modern living becomes too much. My aim as a therapist is to partner with you on a journey of self-discovery so that you can find satisfaction and thrive. I believe therapy can help us uncover subtle beliefs and patterns that shape our daily experiences. With greater awareness, we gain the tools to enact positive change and remodel relationships.

I provide individual psychotherapy to help adults work through and learn to manage anxiety, depression, adjustment/life stage transitions, relationship difficulties, health problems, career questions, and other important personal concerns. My approach to therapy includes helping clients to understand and maximize their strengths, clarify their goals, and then find the most adaptive ways to reach those goals. I work together with my clients to remove the barriers that might be holding them back, so that they can live more intentional and meaningful lives.

I believe that finding happiness and achieving peace is not the absence of conflict and stress, but our ability to better cope with it through better knowing ourselves. I want to partner with you to make more conscious choices, develop resilience, and empower you to make changes and address barriers that might have you feeling stuck. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I also happen to think that humor and having a good laugh is incredibly healing too.

I specialize in therapy with adults who suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, medical diagnoses, racial conflict, life transitions, those who want to gain greater knowledge of self, dream analysis, and individuals who struggle with forming and maintaining relationships or boundaries. I have assisted both mxn and womxn work towards finding their sense of value while obtaining several ways to find healing. I'm a holistic trained therapist, herbalist, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist who works from a psychoanalytical lens that aids in further exploring, understanding, healing, and getting to the root of our problems.

The work of life is hard, and we all have a unique innerworld shaped by our experiences, disposition, and learned behaviors that can leave us feeling really stuck. At times, we need support untangling the knot of all that we’re grappling with. Building a relationship together - one grounded in trust and honesty - can become a powerful tool for growth and healing, Regardless of your starting point, I aim to help you safely and authentically expand your capacity for thought and feeling, and along the way, support you in releasing shame, discovering empowerment, breaking unhelpful patterns, and gaining more control over your emotions.

My professional experience is with individuals who are newly sober/struggling with addiction, as well as their families in need of support. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with clients suffering from depression, grief, relationship concerns, anxiety, and those who are caregiving elderly parents. I am available to conduct drug and alcohol interventions, if needed, and see clients of all ages.
