Chronic Illness Therapists in Annandale On Hudson, NY

Hi there, I am a Holistic Health and Integrative Nutrition Coach! I partner with individuals who want to navigate lifestyle changes, so they can live a healthy, sustainable, and aligned life.

I work with adults and teens seeking support in navigating depression, anxiety, complex trauma, experiences of interpersonal and/or systemic violence, grief, relational difficulties, chronic illness/disability, neurodivergence, and identity exploration. I am particularly passionate about working with queer and trans folks, sexual trauma survivors, activists, organizers, artists, writers, educators, healers, and anyone who struggles to feel safe or at home in their bodies.

Are you an individual looking for support around personal growth, transitions, burnout or just hoping to be your authentic self after years of masking? As a neurodivergent person myself, I have a passion for helping neurodivergent individuals thrive. I am a dedicated social worker, who specializes in supporting ADHD, executive function, autism, and trauma. I also have a significant background in supporting individuals with general mental health needs like trauma, chronic pain / chronic illness, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders.

I'm currently accepting new clients in-person in Manhattan, and virtually in NY state. I specialize in supporting clients through loss and grief, processing childhood trauma, navigating major life and relationship changes, substance use, chronic illness, and exploring queerness and religion. I work with adults on the autism spectrum, as well as those with a history of eating disorders and OCD, and often work with clients who are employed in creative fields.

I am a licensed clinical social worker working with adults (18 years+) managing life transitions, relationship challenges (family, friends, partners, coworkers), general and acute anxiety, depression, struggles with self-esteem and body image, and coping with the stressors of college (both undergraduate and graduate levels, both academic and non-academic related). I have experience working in the health care field, including discussing grief/loss, living with a chronic illness, being a caregiver, receiving a life changing diagnosis, and being familiar with what it's like to work in a health care setting.

Often the hardest part about recovery and wellness can be taking that step to reach out for help. Yet I believe that once you do the possibilities can be boundless. Greetings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State who has experience working with a variety of situations and populations. These include mental health, eating disorders, substance abuse, teenagers, younger & older adults, gender identity, LGBTQ, family therapy, mindfulness to name a few.

Pain seeks our attention. Emotional distress manifests or "speaks" through physical distress. Adults living with physical or emotional pain can benefit from BODY-CENTERED psychotherapy. Sessions can include BODYWORK. Dreamwork and expressive therapies can also be utilized to amplify awareness. Like dreams, body symptoms are dynamic conduits into the unconscious; likewise, they serve as messengers charged with waking us up and redirecting our energies back toward life. Clients become adept explorers, listeners & learners, moving with curiosity toward rather than away from feeling, as they befriend disenfranchised parts of themselves.

The impact that a life-changing diagnosis can have on individuals and their families can be profound. It can feel like a betrayal when our bodies don’t allow us to live our lives the way we expect, impacting our relationships, careers, and hopes. How can we move forward in life when it feels like our bodies are holding us back? How do we grieve our hopes and dreams while trying to fully understand how they are affected by our new circumstances? How do we do all of this while trying to navigate a medical system that often leaves us feeling unheard and unseen?

Self awareness and connection can heal. My practice is a place where we can build safety and vulnerability, and work together to help you better understand yourself. Therapy is not always easy, but here you can regain a sense of control and create momentum.

I have years of experience working with folks of all ages in various settings towards their mental health and life goals. With curiosity, humor, and compassion, I strive to create a space to explore the oftentimes messy worlds within and around us. I believe we all have an innate profound ability to heal ourselves that can be activated with the right support.

I am Rebecca, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. My practice is fully virtual and all sessions are held via secure teletherapy platform. I am an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming provider. My approach is rooted in supporting the strength, resilience, and wisdom of the client.

Research has shown that the primary factors involved in change in a therapeutic setting are the clients' internal strengths. The second most important factor is the relationship between the client and the therapist. At the very core, therapy is about a healing relationship. This is what a prospective client should ask regarding a therapist when entering therapy: is it a relationship that is conducive to your growth, whatever your goals?

I offer compassionate support to those facing mood disorders, existential issues, sexuality, family issues, spirituality concerns, life path issues, trauma, anxiety, and a range of psychological and personal challenges. I seek to connect with clients in a patient and exploratory manner, providing insight and relief for those who seek it. Genuineness, authenticity, and acceptance are central to my practice and I strive to bring this into every moment. I am based out of Infinity Mental Health Counseling in New Paltz and offer in-person sessions, telehealth, and hiking therapy. I work with teens (16+) and adults of all ages.

My practice offers treatment that is individually created for your specific needs and issues. I am devoted to creating a safe and caring environment to support your emotional, physical, spiritual and psychological well-being. I focus on guiding individuals toward health and healing using modern clinical practice, holistic therapeutic approaches, mindfulness and mind/body techniques. Our model is based on a functional medicine approach which seeks to identify and address the root causes of psychological conditions and medical illnesses using a strength-based approach that treats the whole person, not a collection of symptoms.
