Elders (65+) Therapists in 12540

xx I am currently accepting new clients for morning & early afternoon appointments xx Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad or anxious? Have you ever felt that you couldn’t share your story with anyone because you feel that they just couldn’t possibly understand or that they would somehow judge you? We all have a story, and often we have to just push it aside just to get through our day until one day we realize that our story has taken over and is now interfering with our daily life. I will work to help you find the right tools to rewrite your story while in a calming nonjudgmental space.

Our deepest wounds are beyond words. So are our deepest strengths. When fear, anger, and grief run high, verbal methods aren't enough. Now more than ever, there is a need to repair deep injuries and draw from deep strength. You need a healer who will help you mend from (not cope with) generations of pain - someone who can help you access resources you didn't know you have to make breakthroughs you didn't know were possible. Now more than ever, you're hoping for someone who can go into dark places with you and help you find your light - someone who advocates for you at your worst and brings out your very best.

Do you know what you are looking for in a therapist? You are probably reading this because you are considering talking to someone about your anxiety/depression, work/relationship, life transition, or possibly trauma or bereavement issues. I am a NYS licensed psychologist and treat these and many other issues. I work with highly successful people who have problems, in addition to those who want to do better in their lives, and those with more serious problems. I provide clients a supportive working relationship because I am an excellent listener and like what I do, in addition to benefiting from doctoral training.

Struggling with anxiety and depression can be exhausting. Whether you have coped for a long time or a new situation has emerged, the sensations connected to feelings can seem overwhelming. The knot in your stomach, tension gripped shoulders, tightening up, shrinking in, weighted down, these are all embodied experiences of anxiety and depression. This is where I join in, meeting your feelings on a body level. If you are seeking a creative, body and movement based way to find more ease, or have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and want a movement oriented therapy, dance/movement therapy might be for you.

My name is Nicole Wong (she/her) and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with 10 years of experience providing support to clients. I am passionate about working with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual harm, relationship violence, identity, people-pleasing tendencies, self-esteem struggles, and/or life transitions. In this journey with you, my goal is to ensure that your voice is centered and amplified and that we are able to explore how all of your identities impact your experiences and your interactions with the world.

We all face a time when life and the ever-moving, demanding parts of it exceed our typical ways of coping and we are unable to manage our lives healthily. Maybe you don’t know what you are looking for, or perhaps it has become clear to you that your present struggles have become too overwhelming to deal with alone and you need support. I offer an engaged and collaborative relationship to better understand core problems and emotional conflicts that get in the way of having a fulfilling and meaningful life.

I entered the field of counseling with the belief that individuals can create real and positive change for themselves. I have been in the field for more than a decade and have worked to help others identify negative patterns in their daily lives and empower them to develop more healthy choices and behaviors. I have a background in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and employ a person-centered approach. I have worked with couples, families, and individuals all working to gain insight and get more out of their lives.
