"My clinical work has consisted of treating a variety of clients with different backgrounds, experiences, and concerns. I am particularly interested in developing goals with you, and/or your child, that are relevant to your current situation that can help you and/or your child move forward in an effective and healthy manner. I have experience with treating interpersonal relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family of origin issues, and grief and loss. I work with children, adolescents, adults with developmental disabilities, and young adults in a therapeutic environment. "

"I operate under the belief that mental health and wellness exists at the junction of the biological, social and psychological facets of an individual, and that a balance is needed to address the human condition. With this in mind even the most difficult of concerns to address can be a profound force for positive change in someone's life."

"**** I am not currently accepting new clients. There may be other therapists with openings in my office. Please call my office number (without extension) to get connected with someone.**** Making the choice to start therapy is a unique and sometimes intimidating process. I want to make support accessible and meaningful for you. I believe you have the capacity for growth and improvement, no matter your history or current concerns. My goal is to build a partnership with you as you work to explore your experience and move within the world in a healthier, more fulfilling way."

I deeply value my work as a clinician and providing services in a manner that meets your needs. As such, my work is grounded in establishing a genuine therapeutic relationship with you and maintaining a safe, warm, nonjudgmental, confidential, inclusive, and empowering therapeutic environment."

"Whether you are experiencing a major life transition or looking to fine-tune your daily life, I believe counseling and art therapy are effective tools to help you move through your life more skillfully and with greater zest. The therapeutic relationship we will form creates a space where you can explore your life with greater curiosity, hope and accountability than you may be able to on your own. I know that you have the tools you need to address life challenges, and as your therapist, I can help you rediscover those tools and build upon them with a few ideas of my own."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I excel working with clients who desire evidence-based treatments such as DBT and CBT. It is my belief that clients know themselves best and should be in the driver's seat at all times."

"For the majority of people, counseling gives a sense of relief and hope, in part, by providing a safe and open environment to freely talk with an unbiased and non-judgmental person about what is going on in their relationships and personal lives. I provide help for couples who feel as though they don't know what else to do to make things different in their relationships and are experiencing emotional distress due to a variety of reasons from: communication problems, conflict, and distancing, to an overall feeling of disconnect with their partners."

"With more than eighteen years of experience working with Adults, Couples, Families, and Adolescents using Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, Person Centered, Narrative, Family Systems, and other therapies, I will help you identify ways in which to move towards the goals you have for change. I assist my clients with parenting issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and other life stressors."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for over 20 years. My practice is dedicated to both psychotherapy and neurofeedback. My psychotherapy background is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. The blending of these approaches allows me to tailor individual treatment in a way that is designed to address specific needs. I meet people where they are as they come into therapy, help them get symptom relief by working to address cognitive and behavioral issues that are preventing them from leading their most satisfying life, while looking to foster insight and healing from the patterns that caused symptoms in the first place."

"Dually licensed as a Mental Health and Alcohol & Drug Counselor, I work with adults, adolescents and families using a goal-focused approach to effect positive change. With a mix of cognitive-behavioral and client-centered theory I work with you to define your issues of concern and create the means to achieve the results you desire."

"I have been providing psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and families in Vermont for over eighteen years in a wide range of clinical settings and across a broad scope of client populations. As a therapist, I support people through a process of improving their health and well-being, of living more more mindfully, and of creating opportunities for healing. I also assist clients in exploring personal growth, in developing new insights about themselves and their relationships, in learning skills to reduce stress, anxiety, and other forms of suffering, and in limiting obstacles that impact them from reaching their potential."

"I aim to co-create the conditions for waking up and realizing the beauty and radiant Life that you already are. In the midst of your current suffering from past traumatic events and/or addictions this may seem like an impossible or distant dream. I am Somatic Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Practitioner. I facilitate mindful awareness of body sensations through to a range of somatic body mind interventions based on the latest knowledge in neurobiology. In accessing your body and mind's innate wisdom you will be able to release the effects of trauma and be free from compulsions and obsessions."

"As a seasoned psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced and comfortable working with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma or abuse, stress, and life transitions. It is certainly not necessary though to have identified a problem in order to meet with me, as I also work with people who are feeling stuck or unfulfilled in life to find ways to move forward differently. Couples most often contact me to work through relationship problems that have arisen, improve communication, and restore the connection."

"I am a psychotherapist and bodyworker in private practice for over 20 years. I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect to my work with young adults and adults. I see our work as a dance between an interactive exchange and thoughtful reflection. Calling on the wisdom of many approaches, including Somatic Experiencing [Body- Based], Psychodrama, the work of Murray Bowen [Family Systems], and mindfulness practices, I work with individuals addressing a wide range of issues. Much of my work is focused on relationship and attachment. I especially work with individuals who have had challenging or traumatic relational histories."

"I offer consultations, psychotherapy, and intensive psychoanalysis. An initial consultation will allow an investigation into the possibility of working together."

"Do you have questions or concerns about your drinking or drug use, or perhaps that of someone else? Have recent events in your life caused you to be sad, confused, or feeling alone? I can provide you with a safe and accepting environment with which to explore these uncomfortable feelings. Together we will make a plan to help you eliminate the shame and secrecy which may keep you from thriving. I will help you to communicate about your beliefs and behaviors in an inquisitive, non-judgemental manner which will aid you in fully realizing your potential."

"My intention as a therapist is to provide compassionate witness, to ask questions that grow awareness, and to support you in deeply knowing and caring for yourself. Trauma, oppression, and habitual patterns hold many of us back. Counseling is a place where we can face our pain and empower ourselves to show up authentically. This is sacred work. Welcome."

"Would you like to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world you live in? Sometimes difficult moods, thoughts or circumstances seem to take over our lives and it's hard to remember what it's like to feel fully alive. I work with you, to help you access more of your authentic self, which can result in the alleviation of symptoms and help you better navigate life's challenges. "

"I work primarily with adults and adolescents. This includes family work in support of the individual work, but I do not do ongoing family or couples therapy. I have experience working with a broad range of patients but most of my experience is with difficulties associated with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), problems with expression of anger, and teen/parent conflicts.
