Palmyra, NY 14522
I've worked with young children (3) through adulthood.
Welcome! Life can be very difficult especially in the chaos of a post pandemic world. It can be difficult to find a therapist who is a good fit and can meet your needs. So often we need a therapist who can mold and work with us and our current needs to really create a meaningful and lasting change. I am hoping this is where I can help! I have 17 years of experience working within the field of human services in a range of many areas and in several different capacities. Therapeutic methods are combined to support individuals and/or their families to be able to meet the goals that they have when traditional methods may not be right.

I have worked with adults, children and adolescents in private practice, agency and school settings.
Life has a way of taking many twists and turns. The path forward is not always clear. There are times when we find ourselves feeling alone, stuck, overwhelmed, confused, numb. Asking for help is often difficult. It takes strength, courage and a willingness to risk trusting another person.

I have experience working with adults and children with a variety of diagnosis and situations.
I see my role as a counselor is one of an assistant or facilitator. I believe we all have the ability to help ourselves but we sometimes need a little help. As we go about our daily lives, we encounter stress which can affect us in different ways; showing up as depression, anxiety, health problems, or relationship problems. Sometimes we need someone to listen and give us a different perspective on our problems and insight as to how to deal effectively with them. I am familiar with cognitive-behavioral techniques and incorporate family systems and personality theories as needed.

Williamson, NY 14589
I have experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults.
Each day we have a chance to strive to live a life that is authentic and genuine, a life that represents and reflects who we are as people. Oftentimes, that authentic and genuine person becomes derailed and buried beneath the weight of life stressors. These stressors present in the form of anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflicts, relationship conflicts, grief/loss, loss of meaning/purpose, and beyond. Sometimes the assistance of a helping hand, an open ear, and an attuned mind is all that's needed to help us return to living as our authentic selves.

Sometimes anxiety becomes overwhelming for adults, and it becomes just as overwhelming for children. Youth do not often understand anxiety symptoms, until someone explains what they may be experiencing. it is my goal to help children move through anxiety, and help with underlining reasons they may be experiencing stress and worry. My primary clientele are children and youth, ages 5 through 18, who are experiencing anxiety, primarily Generalized Anxiety disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive disorder symptoms.

In my career I have worked with a variety of ages ranging from young children through senior citizens in clinic, office, home, and hospital-based settings.
In my years as a clinician one thing has always remained a constant, and that is difficulty with transitions and change, which life abundantly throws at us. Regardless of the situation, change or transition is often the cause of unsettling feelings that lead one to engage with a therapist. That being said, many people are more comfortable and able to successfully maneuver adjustments in their daily routine, in their family structure, home life, work, relationships, etc. Others however, may struggle with developing or utilizing ways of coping with such change.

I have a deep passion for helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life's challenges, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to emotional well-being and personal growth, providing you with support to adapt and bloom in this ever-changing world.
Hi there, I’m Kate! With four years of experience as a school counselor in the public education system, I decided to transition into private practice to provide support to those seeking personal growth and healing in a private setting. During my time as a school counselor, I honed my skills in understanding and addressing the unique needs of children, adolescents and families in today's society. I came to realize the profound impact that early intervention and empathetic support can have on an individual's mental and emotional development.

Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have experience working with children, teens, families, and couples who can be experiencing challenges with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, or simply would like a neutral person to talk to.

When the patient is a child, treatment often means working extensively with caregivers.
My down-to-earth, humor-filled, and practical therapeutic approach enables me to form a strong alliance with my patients. I am passionate about enabling and empowering my patients to maximize joy and minimize suffering in life by identifying and living by your deepest values. Therapy with me will not merely consist of you recounting the events of your week while I nod my head and tell you that I know you can figure out how to change, improve, or handle it. I am not just a “paid friend;” rather, my patients need me to (a) understand their suffering and then (b) teach them HOW to make things better.

My name is Samantha E Golden. I am the owner of Canaltown Mental Health Counseling, PLLC located in the village of Brockport. As a counselor, and an advocate for families, I work closely with children/adolescents that are having a difficult time dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many are seeing peace in a volatile situation or are learning how to deal with intense emotions. Family changes can also affect children, so I use integrated arts and/or child centered play therapy to help children process the grief and loss of divorce/separation and to embrace change.
