Existential Therapists in Mottville, NY

I graduated from Princeton University and completed my clinical education at Columbia University. I have extensive experience in both mental health and substance abuse modalities of treatment, and primarily work with adults and young adults. The most common focuses of therapy are depression, anxiety, difficulties with coping, panic disorders, sports performance, relationships, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma.

All appointments are currently offered online only via Skype or Zoom. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

My primary focus of therapeutic services is to provide a conducive, safe, and confidential format that will ensure personal growth. Enabling the individual to regain functional capabilities which is the ultimate goal. In order to regain functionality and growth individuals in therapeutic settings may have to discuss pleasant/unpleasant aspects of their lives and may experience uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, fear, shame, guilt, hatred, anger, and frustration. However, through counseling, clients learn how to appreciate themselves, make better decisions and become more open about themselves and the world they live in.

I understand that anxiety and OCD often feel overwhelming and isolating; how it is often difficult to explain the relentlessness of intrusive thoughts and worry. I recognize that OCD is a lot more than the compulsions people can see and how the constant worry gets in the way of all you want to do. In working with me you will feel understood and learn the tools necessary to reclaim your life. Everyone's version of healing is different and I am here to be a guide as we create your own path forward. I am dedicated to helping you free yourself from the cycle of worry and doubt.

In my years of experience, I have worked the most with individuals experiencing issues with anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I have found the most success with meeting clients where they are at, building a strong therapeutic rapport, and using an eclectic style of treatment techniques (tailored to each individual’s needs). This collective approach will allow individuals to gain the most from their therapy involvement. I will provide the framework for the client to develop their strategy in order to work toward achieving their psychological, emotional, and social well being.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in providing services to individuals, couples, and families for a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexuality issues, grief and loss, addiction, as well as many others.

Having worked as a therapist for over 15 years, I have, I believe, developed competence in helping individual adults, families, couples and children (10 - 18yo) around needs such as communication, parenting, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family dynamics and adjustment disorders. I strive to adopt an approach that is conversational, comfortable and non - judgemental. Clients have consistently reported feeling at ease and free to "be themselves". I employ a variety of interventions and approaches including Cognitive Behavioral (what we think determines what we feel and do), brief, family systems, structural and any and all others to assist most effectively.

Hello! My name is Will and I have been practicing for the past 9 years with all ages and all reasons. I am a licensed mental health counselor in both MA and NY. I work most often with clients on men's issues, marital therapy, anxiety, depression, addiction, and processing traumatic life events. I aim to provide a warm regard, with clear, actionable steps to help you achieve growth and healing. I believe in holistic well-being and practice with a multifaceted therapeutic approach.

In this journey we call life, we seem to accumulate experiences that make us who we are. Through these experiences we develop a story, often after many drafts. Sometimes when we talk about our life it just doesn't sound or feel right because telling your own story can be scary or feel weird. It can be useful to have an editor to help us to express ourselves. Therapy is an opportunity to be truly heard and receive objective, strengths-based, non-judgmental reflection on how the story sounds outside of your own head. It provides you the opportunity to make edits until you feel just right telling your story safely with confidence.

I have over 25 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals. My work with couples enhances communication when it has been hindered by trauma, illness, infidelity, or other stressors. Couples work helps members listen differently, understand, and negotiate respectfully. I help parents understand children's behavior through a social emotional developmental lens. Individual work within the context of relationships explores self care. Our lives are affected by the systems in which we live and work.

My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable and supportive environment in which clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome barriers that limit their full potential. I take an open-minded and non-judgmental approach to client wellness and help clients meet their individual goals. I have experience working with people of all ages as well as with a variety of issues and struggles. I provide relationship counseling, family therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, Bariatric Assessments and bariatric surgery counseling.

Many things can affect the ways we think, feel and interact with the world. Having the courage to call a counselor and say, “I need help”, is a huge step toward inviting change. My part in that journey is helping you develop positive trust based connections in an environment of support and acceptance. I use a strengths based, humanistic approach to meet you where you are in your life. Simply, I bring my authentic self and meet you where you're at.

Welcome! You are taking a positive step towards your journey through life. I am an active participant in this journey with you and will assist you in navigating through the turmoil as well as any adversity you may face in your voyage. I have significant experience working with those who struggle through anxiety, depression, anger management, difficulty coping, difficulty with self-esteem, men’s issues, antisocial personality, disorder, and issues related to being in the field of first responders. I offer counseling services in a welcoming, confidential, judgement free, and insightful space. I look forward to meeting with you!

Our lives today are busy and often overwhelming. Struggling with mental health symptoms complicates the process of managing our daily routines and responsibilities, and frequently people struggle in silence, due to fears of being judged. Mental health issues do not have to keep people from achieving their personal goals and living their best lives. Just as people with substance use struggles speak about their recovery from their addictions, people with mental health challenges can do the same. Recovery is real and achievable, and I am honored to come along your journey toward health and overall wellness.

Please note that my practice is for adults residing in New York State only. Today you are one step closer to a new personal space where you feel empowered and enabled to experience your true personal freedom. We often limit our personal freedom and our way to happiness because of our fear of expressing our true self, not the false self which is dictated by others. My goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a balanced life that is truly meaningful to you. I use Jungian Psychoanalytic therapy primarily, but I also use other modalities such as Mindfulness-based or Existential psychotherapy at times.

Are you grappling with themes of meaning and purpose? Feeling defined by your past, destined to repeat the same unfulfilling cycles for the unforeseeable future? Maybe it feels like the issue is your career, your relationship, or the city you’re living in. You may also be thinking that if you just lose some weight, get more sleep, make a little more money, or find some adventure, surely then you’d be happy. The truth is that you are not doomed to this kind of unending disconnection and dissatisfaction, nor are you destined to perpetuate the cycles of generations before you.

My primary service is long-term existential-holistic psychotherapy. I employ a non-pathologizing approach to assist middle-aged individuals who experience an existential crisis, grappling with feelings of anxiety, stagnation, isolation, or inadequacy in creating meaningful connections with the world around them
