Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Gloversville, NY

Are you feeling overwhelmed dealing with uncertainty? Anxious or Depressed? Are you coping with a major life transition? I have worked with individuals who struggle with co-occurring disorders; substance use diagnoses, depression, and anxiety. Along with crisis interventions. When working with other individuals I utilize my active listening skills, displaying compassion and empathy.

I am a therapist of 30 years, who enjoys assisting people develop insight and practical strategies to improve the quality of their relationship with themselves and with those they spend majority of their time with. I have worked with children, adolescents , adults, couples , families and groups and can adapt my methods to meet many needs. I provide other professionals supervision and training to enhance client care. I am equipped to assist you with trauma, lossand depression. I have raised a family of my own, lived rurally, in cities and internationally enabling me to develop a broad understanding of our universal human condition.

We are a small group of independent therapists who have joined together to assist you in gaining empowerment and making decisions aligned with your authentic self. Some of us come with a desire to end deep emotional suffering, others to resolve issues in life whether it is work/school related, family dynamics, or difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Others turn to therapy out of wanting to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and our engagement in repetitive behaviors and viscous cycles that keep us stuck in old patterns, “dysfunctional comfort”.

As part of my counseling, I work with students and professionals who want to try modern therapy. Many of my clients want to overcome the stress of significant life changes that have challenged their beliefs about themselves and others. I emphasize choice and collaboration over "knowing what is best for you." I enjoy working with individuals that struggle with indecisiveness, especially when it comes to overthinking what others might think of you. I work well with clients that would like to how to understand their inner critic and respond to those beliefs about whether you are "worth it" a helpful manner.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Nurse with over 40 years of experience. My specialties include, depression, anxiety, trauma, dependency, co-dependency, medical illnesses and life challenges, due to these issues. You may have tried to figure out how to move forward in your life and feel stuck. If you are open to change, by learning new skills, or wanting to learn more about the decisions you have made thus far, then exploring new ways of thinking and behaving are ideas to practice in a warm, supportive environment.

My ideal client is one who does not yet recognize the extent of their power and choices available to them. One who has a sense of humor and is ready to try out new ways of being, trying on new ways of seeing themselves and the world.

Whether you are seeking help for yourself, your teen, or your family, you've come to the right place. If you are ready to make some changes and figure out the core of what is causing the distress, disruption, or unease, we can work together to figure out the best ways to help you (or your teen) move forward in a healthy way. So many times, we spin in circles trying to figure out which direction to go.  People get caught in their own heads, so it's hard to make sense of all of the thoughts/feelings. You no longer need to be trapped in that cycle alone. We can work together to pick out the pieces that will help you create balance.
