Therapists in Slingerlands, NY

WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. We have a lot of experience in working with children, adolescents and adults who struggle with depression and anxiety related to trauma. Our staff have specialized training in trauma work and the resulting issues that develop from experiential trauma including PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), Dissociation, Self Injury and Suicidal Ideation.

Your life has profound meaning and strong sense of purpose, that transcends any limitations experienced or imagined. It is alright, and a sign of strength to ask for help and lean on support. Dr. Simon is always available to help.

Whether you can name the challenges you're experiencing or feel an elusive 'something' not quite right in your life, a successful therapeutic experience can address these issues in a meaningful way. I am a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journeys toward mental and emotional well-being. My practice centers on supporting individuals experiencing: Anxiety and Stress, Perfectionism, Depression, Relationship Challenges, Pre and Postpartum Issues, Self-Exploration, Personal Growth, and Navigating Life Transitions.

I offer a counseling relationship that focuses on safety, communication, and positive regard for my clients; supporting clients to explore new tools, ways of being, and seeing themselves and their world. I strive to leave my clients feeling seen, heard, valued, and empowered. I work with adults navigating their lives and relationships, stresses and sense of personal meaning.

Clients come to me when they are questioning the health and safety of their intimate relationships, when they are confused and overwhelmed about how to manage people in their life who continue to hurt them, when they are dealing with the difficult decision of leaving a dysfunctional and unsafe job environment for their emotional stability…. My clients want to live peacefully, love abundantly and feel empowered! Hi! I’m Lillian. I’m an Art Therapist and I specialize in helping ambitious women who are healing from abusive or unhealthy relationships find more joy, peace, satisfaction and fulfillment.

I offer a nonjudgmental, empathic, and genuine approach with all of my clients. I bring empathy into every interaction I have with every person & I operate from a radical, social justice, abolitionist, anti-oppressive perspective. I incorporate the Liberation Health Framework into my work, paying close attention to how oppression/systems affect everyone's experiences moving through the world. My identity as a queer mixed race woman of color strongly influences my practice and work with clients. I have experience working with QTPOC communities, disenfranchised & marginalized identities, and folks navigating mental health challenges.

I am focused on helping you find your strengths and your passion for life in an integrative Holistic approach that includes many modalities. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be powerful and meaningful as well as change oriented. I work with a variety of concerns which include trauma, anxiety, gender issues, family conflicts, and chronic illness and challenges. I have always utilized my background and appreciation for the arts as part of my orientation in therapy.

Change is possible as life is a journey of self discovery. If you’re struggling with Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Life , PTSD, Parenting, Stress, Trauma, Relationship issues, or just need someone to talk to...I am listening... I want you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE and YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Together we can explore ways to navigate the stuff that can cause us to feel stuck or unfulfilled.

I am here to be your compassionate, nonjudgmental, no-nonsense therapist. We can work together to tackle what's bothering you, no matter how serious it feels. Maybe you are at the end of your rope and you don't know how to face the obstacles life has thrown at you. Maybe you want more out of your life and relationships. Maybe you are dealing with troubling experiences but aren't sure if therapy will actually work. For each client, I blend my extensive knowledge of therapy techniques and research, my warmth and compassion, and my occasionally quirky personality to create a safe and useful space for you to heal and grow.

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

As a Mind/Body oriented Therapist, I understand that our emotions, behaviors, and physical body are sensitive to the stressors we face; we can literally FEEL anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. These stressors can affect our whole selves, often manifesting in negative thinking patterns and/or physical sensations of stress. Whether you are having trouble managing stress, and/or experiencing grief, loss, difficult emotions, relationship issues, anxiety/panic, or you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, working with your mind AND body through integrated psychotherapy, can help.

With over 20 years of clinical experience working in behavioral health, I believe that people are resilient, and that resilience becomes our beacon to self-discovery and emotional healing.

I love to help clients explore their potential with evidenced based techniques that can help increase life satisfaction and promote healing. Everyone's journey in life is personal. If you find yourself questioning your journey, please call or email me today. It would be my honor to help.
