Existential Therapists in Poughkeepsie, NY

Maybe you aren't sure where to start or perhaps even what you need, but you know you are looking to explore your being, uncovering that which has impacted you and removing that which no longer serves you. My goal as a therapist is to not only provide you a safe, non-judgmental space to do so, but to accompany you as an empathetic, invested passenger on that journey. I am here to help you increase your self-awareness of your patterns and in turn, utilize that information to act in empathy and kindness for yourself.

It may be difficult to find the right fit in speaking to someone about things you hold deep within yourself. There may be things that you need to share with someone because you want to work on changing them or mainly just because you don't want to keep them bottled up any longer. Whatever the reasons may be, looking for the right person to talk to can be a very difficult and time consuming task. I want to help you find that person where you can take the reins and design the therapeutic interaction. We will be partners in your road to recovery. Your life...your choices. Let me help you.

**Free 30-min Video Consultation** Being in the circus taught me that juggling too many balls in the air can lead to feeling like you're always picking up the pieces rather than enjoying the show. While our emotions float up and down, we start applying binary labels of "good" (happy) and "bad" (anger, sadness, anxiety) that our systems (e.g., US Society, Family, Culture) has assigned. Improve self-awareness of our emotions, thoughts, and the stories we tell ourselves about our worth internally, with others, and in the world. Change the Narrative you've internalized through identifying, observing, respecting, and accepting emotions.

My name is Jenna and I am a graduate student intern with Amanda Dixon Mental Health Counseling Services. Whether in work, school, relationships, or our own personal worlds, we often fall into patterns of being that serve a purpose, but may not feel fulfilling. We might feel compelled to cast aside our true feelings and values to protect ourselves from pain or judgment. This can cause us to lose sight of our authentic selves. I believe therapy can provide clarity as to why we take on the roles that we do and how we can instead move toward recognizing, embracing, and embodying our true values and goals.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
