Pregnancy and parenting through the early childhood years can be incredibly rewarding and incredibly challenging at the same time. I specialize in supporting families during the transition to parenthood through childhood. Whether you are experiencing the expected stress related to parenting in general or you have concerns about your child's development, behavior, mood, or sleep, I am happy to be part of your support team. I also have specialized certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). We will work collaboratively to find unique solutions to support your family's needs and help you find the joy in parenting.

If you want to solve your personal problems, control your headaches, or other symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression, deal more effectively with your loved ones, friends and coworkers, then I would like to help. If you are self-motivated, sensitive, desire to improve yourself,and value personal responsibility, then I believe you are well suited to the type of help provide. If you not interested in clever explanations that only allow you to blame others, and do not lead you to a happier, more enlightened and effective life, then we are already on the same wavelength

You viewing my profile right now means you took the very vulnerable first step in reaching out for support! Whether this is your first experience with therapy or a new attempt, I would love to begin this journey with you. My name is Jamie and I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups in the substance use counseling field as they strive for a fulfilling life of sobriety.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and finding the right therapist can be even harder. I’m here to help! I have dedicated the past 9 years working with clients to create a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts and feelings, while developing healthy coping skills. I have experience working with a wide range of ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds, specializing in Depression, Anxiety, Pre and Postpartum, Child Development/Behavioral Issues, Anger Management, Decision Making, ADHD/OCD, Intrusive Thoughts, Self-esteem, Concrete Functioning, Chronic Illness, Adjustment to End of Life & Relationship/Family Issues.

In my practice, I address various topics such as family and romantic relationships, pregnancy and transition to motherhood, sexual trauma, as well as general anxiety and depression symptoms. My goal is to help you manage your own mental health, not have the issues control you.

Psychotherapy is an act of courage. Finding the right person to work with can take time. I will assist you with the process. I spend time answering questions you might have about psychotherapy and work to ensure that we develop a positive therapeutic alliance through empathy, compassion, respect, and care. I believe that psychotherapy should be a growth-enhancing process. Growth can be a slower process than we desire and is not always easy but afterwards, I hope that you have a greater understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Healing from a substance use disorder is not about control, but about learning to adapt and move forward with your life as you repair your relationships and find balance in sobriety. In my time as a clinician, I have acquired extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and families with co-occurring disorders in substance abuse residential and outpatient treatment programs. I know that everyone’s recovery process is unique. At Mountainside Huntington, I develop individual treatment plans for each client, using a variety of clinical and holistic therapies tailored to their needs.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified grief counselor. I am currently accepting new clients who are struggling with loss, bereavement, and secondary challenges that accompany grief. My goal is to help you express how you are feeling, as well as help find a way to make sense of your loss so you are able to carry it even when you dont think you can. Much of my work experience has been in local and veterans hospitals. It has allowed me to be a part of patient/ family life experiences during critical and palliative care to gain a unique perspective on loss and individual resilience.

Sometimes all that stands in the way of your happiness and peace of mind is the way you think about things. It's remarkable how our own thoughts can work against us creating anxiety, depression and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. The happiness that you truly want and deserve is actually within your control! Whether it's getting rid of your fears, understanding why you feel sad, finally having that healthy relationship you have been yearning for, reducing stress, finding balance, or finally being able to answer the question "what will make me happy?".

I understand the vulnerability of bringing the intimacies of your inner and outer world to another human being. And finding the “right” therapist is often a source of additional angst. The good news is that I have trained extensively to provide the safe and healing “holding space,” for you to come as you are, without fear of judgment. I will meet you with skill, understanding, and strategies to address current, past and/or future challenges. My typical client is high-functioning, but struggling in some aspect of life with issues like anxiety, low mood, unresolved trauma, or relationships. Congratulations on taking the first step!

Has a stressful or traumatic event left you feeling depleted, depressed, anxious, or disconnected from your loved ones? By getting lodged in our bodies, stress makes it very difficult to “just get over it,” or "move on." Moving forward and healing, however, is possible. Even by considering psychotherapy, you are making a very important first step towards regaining control of your life. Your choice to value your mental health is the key to getting back your feelings of agency, self-confidence, and sense of control of our own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Taking the first step to make changes in your life is the beginning of a new path to enhancing your well-being. Are you stressed, anxious, experiencing trauma, a recent loss or developing an eating disorder or depression? I have helped numerous individuals, including children, teens, for more than 30 years to learn effective coping strategies and become more resilient in the face of life's challenges.

My name is Colleen Aerne and I want to welcome you to my practice. Are you struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, irritability? Are the demands of life, work and family leaving you feeling overwhelmed? I believe that taking a step back, getting in touch with your feelings and gaining perspective on why you are feeling this way is vital. I want to help you work through your feelings of depression and anxiety and get your life back on track.

You can feel better. I have been in private practice for 25 years and practiced for many more years in a variety of other settings including a psychiatric hospital. There, I did teaching, clinical supervision of psychologists, group and individual therapy, and forensic psychology. I am trained in, and use a variety of methods and philosophies in the field as I have found that flexibility in approaching the diverse people I see is necessary. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self esteem. I have experience with substance abuse and anger issues, and well as with life adjustment problems.

I have been working in the social work field since 1984. About 25 years ago, I started my full time private practice, and can still say that I love what I do. 30 years working with people provides me with a wealth of knowledge. A client only needs to bring themselves and have a willingness to commit to the therapeutic process. I have also enjoyed teaching as an adjunct instructor at The Adelphi University School of Social Work, where I teach graduate level classes in Individual Treatment, Group Treatment and Family/Marital Treatment.
