Chronic Illness Therapists in Newfield, NY

Feeling like others don’t get you, or that you can’t be successful or happy is stressful and can interfere with your quality of life. I can help you to work on your relationships and other important life goals while still being true to yourself. I specialize in providing affirming therapy for neurodiverse adults and people with chronic illness and/or disabilities, including autism, OCD, ADHD, chronic pain, general anxiety, social anxiety, persistent depression, bipolar disorders, trauma, and psychosis. Together, we can help you to adjust to a diagnosis, heal from being misunderstood, reframe your strengths, and plan for your future.

Clients often tell me I am an engaged, interactive counselor. I am a deep listener, allowing you to hear and reflect on yourself, while also actively offering guidance, practical techniques, insight and coaching. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I offer expertise in steering a course through times of change and finding what is most essential.

Welcome! Everyone goes through challenges at some point in their lives, and we all need support in difficult times. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, injury, trauma, or other challenges, therapy can provide the tools you need for renewed hope, healing, and transformation. I believe in a therapeutic relationship grounded in kindness, trust, and empathy. During our sessions, I will listen deeply and non-judgmentally to your unique experience. Our relationship can be the catalyst for positive change in your life.

Please note: I currently have a waitlist for new clients - please email. Welcome! I recognize asking for help is no simple task and respect your curiosity in exploring this step. I view therapy as an invitation to delve deeper into your current concerns, personal history, conditioning and defenses in order to reconnect with your true self and experience growth and wellness in your life. Therapy is a unique experience for every person, with the potential to be transformational.

My practice focuses on individuals and couples, ranging in age from 18 to elderly. I strive to create a safe environment in which to explore life stressors, patterns of relating with others, and how past experiences impact the present. Areas of professional practice include anxiety/depression, chronic illness including HIV, grief/loss, relationships, sexual issues, separation/divorce, LGBTQ, family planning, career transition, and finances. I have extensive experience with addictions, and work collaboratively with clients, whether the goal is safer substance use, reducing use, or abstinence.

I am currently not accepting new clients. If you would like to discuss waitlist opportunities for winter/spring 2024, please contact me. For continuity of services during academic breaks, I am also licensed to practice in Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in addition to New York State.

I am currently not accepting new patients until 2024. Experiencing a loss of sexual desire? Arguing about frequency of sex? Worried about performance issues? Healing from sexual trauma or infidelity? Want to better understand your sexuality? I specialize in working with individuals, couples and multi-partnered relationships as they explore concerns related to sex, intimacy and gender identity. Using a combination of proven methods in sex therapy and relationship/family therapies, I help people heal and experience a satisfying sex life so they can live a more connected and thriving life.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist whose approach to therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental, direct, and warm. I strive to create a space you can better understand yourself, your emotions, your interpersonal relationships and, consequently, live a more fulfilling life. I work with adults who are experiencing emotional distress (such as anxiety and depression), grief and loss, relationship issues, or going through life changes (e.g., dislocation, career decisions, starting college). I have interest and experience with identity-based work (e.g., sexual orientation) and parenting.

Are you seeking evidence-based psychotherapy to help you achieve your goals or manage your symptoms in the most effective way? If you or your child are struggling with your mood, anxiety, trauma, obsessive or unhelpful thinking patterns, chronic pain, or behaviors you wish to change, I or another qualified therapist at MindWell Psychology may be able to help you.

I help people sort through parts of life that feel 'stuck' and work to identify skills to move forward. In particular, my work has focused on helping people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the culture that has dictated the most harmful elements of this relationship. I have training in both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, and my practice leans into values-driven Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I welcome clients from all identities, and make space to address the impact of explicit and internalized biases.

Struggles with self-esteem, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions are not uncommon. Psychotherapy is a process where these concerns can be addressed in an emotionally safe, private and confidential space. Key aims of the therapy I practice include deepened self-understanding, a greater sense of clarity and freedom to make choices, and improved empathy for oneself and for others. A reduction in troubling symptoms is also usually involved.

Hi there! If you're looking for help on how to manage relationship and social stressors, develop effective communication skills, and work towards self-fulfillment, I would love to join you in this part of your healing journey.

I am a trauma-informed provider supporting couples and individuals navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

Do you find yourself feeling unstable or broken, no matter what you do? You've tried toughing it out, burying your feelings, taking medications, going to therapy. None of it has been enough, and you're afraid you'll never feel better. You're tired of getting triggered, living through the same ups and downs over and over again, and feeling bad about yourself all the time. I want you to know that your life can be better; your life can be good.

I treat anxiety, depression, narcissism, grief, couples, adults and more with science and care. I focus on comfort, precision and thoroughness to strengthen the dynamics and boundaries of life, event and issue strategies. Learn specific skills and understand how education, career, boundaries and justice combine to express themselves into human behavior and thought. All ages, experiences, education and careers, individual, marriage, family, career, sport, and court. Decades as a therapist, teacher, coach, investigation and research. Best performance outcomes in a diversity of settings and factors. CBT if desired. Private.

We are never alone and sometimes we just need another to join with us on this journey of life. I am happy to join and help you learn, create and achieve the goals you desire.
