Female Therapists in Vermontville, NY

Do you have a chronic case of the Sunday Scaries? Do you feel like there's not enough time in the day? Are you struggling to express how you're feeling to others?

The importance of relationships within our daily lives is often overlooked or forgotten when we struggle.

My treatment style integrates compassion, support, and humor to build resiliency through self-regulation, encourage growth, and promote self-discovery.

How are grief and loss defined? If we broaden the boundaries, the definition can include not only death, but also adjustment to divorce, job loss, abuse, addiction, and estrangement . Individuals can be left feeling anchorless and disconnected. Unprocessed grief and trauma has the potential to lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and vulnerability. I offer a collaborative approach that is attuned to the client’s presenting needs. In this focused work, I facilitate continuing bonds with a loved one or assist in the adjustment to a loss or transition.

I am passionate about personal growth & connecting deeply with my clients. I have a virtual practice and see clients face to face via ZOOM a HIPAA compliant platform. I love that virtual therapy gives both myself & my clients the opportunity to stay connected even while living active & busy lives. Support is a necessity in life & I have found that working virtually has been the best option for my clients & myself.

I work collaboratively with the family unit to negotiate change so that all members feel heard and everyone has bought into a healthier way of life. I strive to provide a supportive, comfortable, safe and encouraging environment that facilitates growth and lasting change.

Are you looking to break generational trauma cycles? Escape negative thought patterns and cope with stress or anxiety? Women who have worked with me report that they are able to think more clearly, "zoom out" on their lives to see things from a new perspective, and make decisions that are aligned with their values. They are able to respond rather than react to stressors. They feel they are becoming their own definition of their “best selves”. I help women break the cycles that they have felt stuck in.

I am accepting new clients. Who you are depends upon you. You have the answers within you. I can help you find those answers. I assist individuals work toward healing from within through building a sense of empowerment and self-confidence; to regain power that was taken, not allowed, or discouraged; to walk strongly, confidently, and purposefully toward wants, desires, needs, and goals. I guide couples in developing healthy relationship skills and to improve communication and assist parents in enhancing their communication skills with their children and to improve upon what parents already know about parenting.

Twila Are you falling apart? Or did you try to put yourself back together and have left over pieces? Either way may make you feel vulnerable .

That might mean we talk about food, sleep, spirituality, mindfulness, music, and moving your body.
