Feminist Therapists in Mohegan Lake, NY

I believe that finding an affirming therapist shouldn’t be so hard. Hi there! I’m Shelby (they/them), and as someone who identifies within the LGBTQ+ community, I’m unfortunately aware of how challenging it is to find providers who understand our experience as a sexual and gender minority (SGM). Although everyone’s experience is different, I understand what you are going through, how you’re feeling and some thoughts that have crossed your mind. ​Together we’ll problem solve, explore thought patterns and you’ll receive support.

Are you seeking a therapist that provides a safe space to sort out what is on your mind with a warm, empathetic, laid-back and non-judgmental approach? This is the type of environment I strive to offer my clients in therapy. I am a holistic practitioner that offers a combination of both conventional and alternative techniques depending on my client's wants and needs. I provide counseling from a lens that recognizes the impact societal inequalities can have on an individual. I offer a style that is intended to build empowerment, confidence and freedom from what you think is holding you back.

Coping with life’s challenges is not always easy and finding a therapist is often a huge step. Therapy can help us to better understand ourselves and develop the tools required for living our fullest and most authentic life. Together, we will work on creating new patterns of behavior and moving you toward positive change. I focus on helping women and the LGBTQ+ community with challenges such as: trauma, depression, anxiety, disordered eating and body shame. I also work with folks moving through life transitions such as career changes, grief/loss and breakups.

Our thoughts, beliefs and bodies reflect our emotional struggles. We often come to therapy when old ways of coping aren't working anymore- when we long for comfort, relief, or more authentic and deeper connections in our relationships. The whole person needs to be addressed in times of crisis, transition and loss. Healing is a word derived from the German hailjan- “to make whole.” I work with a holistic, acceptance-based and contemplative approach to psychotherapy. Practicing self-compassion and self- acceptance lead to less reactivity and more peaceful, integrated and intentional lives.

I am currently accepting 1-3 clients. I am Dr. Danielle Russo, a clinical psychologist licensed in NY State, and have worked in the field for 10 years.

We work collaboratively to identify goals and work together towards a healthier future. I have worked with most diagnoses and specialize in trauma/complex trauma, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and grief and loss.

I love working with all kinds of people, individually, in families, and in groups. I was trained as a psychoanalyst and know the value of insight. But, over time I've found that when people feel warmly connected, difficulties fall away and life begins to open up. I feel fortunate in being able to work with people from varied ethnic and racial backgrounds, diverse relational and sexual orientations, and creative and professional worlds. I'm especially interested in working with those who suffer from 'invisible disabilities,' of mood, development, attention and learning and their loved ones.

Those people who are looking for a well seasoned therapist who is client focused and realizes that health insurance too often dictates health care. My training covers EMDR,Cognitive Behavioral therapy, DBT, Marriage and Family Systems/Bowinen therapy, Modern Psychoanalysis, Drug and Alcohol treatment, Child and Adolescent behavior. I treat individuals, couples and families. My practice speciality covers depression, anxiety, life transistions, child/adolescentconcerns(working directly with every school system), illness, grief, LBGT issues, and marriage transistions.....I believe we are more than just the problem at hand. Therapy is a commitment, together we work for change.

I believe each individual has what it takes to overcome obstacles by accessing their inner wisdom and unique strengths. My approach to counseling is integrative, meaning I draw from several different types of therapy to fit what is best for the client's needs. I hold sessions from a non-hierarchical and non-judgmental position while simultaneously acknowledging the differences and limitations of working with diverse populations.

Hi! I recently relocated to Ridgefield, CT after working for nearly 20 years with kids from kindergarten to college while living in Los Angeles. I became a therapist after working in college admissions and watching amazing students struggle with their mental health. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism takes so much energy to manage - for kids and the entire family. Imagine if all of that energy and effort was redirected towards school, hobbies, sports, friends, and family time!

Hello! Thanks for visiting the virtual home of Day By Day Counseling LCSW, PLLC – a private practice dedicated to supporting adults who find themselves experiencing loss and change.

Come as you are. Psychotherapy is a safe and private place to explore the issues preventing you from living a more productive, meaningful, happier life. I'm aware that it takes an incredible amount of courage to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. My approach is person-centered, empathic and flexible, meeting clients where they are in their lives and helping them to identify and work on areas they would like to change or explore. I utilize supportive, mindfulness based and existential therapies with some use of CBT and thoughtfully inserted levity.

Feeling seen, heard, and valued are paramount to our wellbeing. As a relational therapist, I practice from a nonpathologizing framework helping you access your own resiliency and identify tools which allow you to connect with your empowered self. I work with individuals, couples, families, and therapists helping you discover more fulfilling ways of communicating and connecting. Whether in a crisis, or wanting to reexamine life goals, together we make meaning out of your lived experiences and support you in creating the life and relationships you aspire for. It is a gift to share this journey with you!

Starting therapy is a deeply personal choice and a transformative journey toward self-reflection and creating change. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, the lingering effects of trauma, feeling alone in your experiences, seeking solace and understanding. For those experiencing the unique challenges of perinatal and maternal mental health, or grapple with your own racial, cultural, and intersecting identities my expertise provides a gentle and nurturing sanctuary.

Allowing yourself the simplicity of time and space in a non-judgmental and nurturing environment can feel empowering. I hope to assist you in self-reflection, in gaining new perspectives and in building healthier communication. Through a psychodynamic and strength-based approach, and with the use of cognitive- behaviorial techniques, we'll review tools to help challenge distorted thinking, re-direct narratives, foster creativity and set needed boundaries. I'm here to assist you in any way I can.

I help clients to develop curiosity and compassion about their inner lives and desires, guiding them towards healing, pleasure, and joy. I approach therapy as a collaboration in which we get to know your inner world together. I help you to uncover the psychological, somatic, and sensory experiences that have shaped how you approach the world, providing opportunities for freedom, choice, and transformation. In both individual and couples therapy, I use mindfulness and embodiment to help you build awareness of your own wants, needs, emotions, and desires, creating a foundation for clear communication, intimacy, and understanding.

When you feel safe and supported in the therapeutic environment, the partnership you develop with a therapist can bring about gains that will change the trajectory of your life in significant and deeply rewarding ways.

We are an intimate collective of psychotherapists with combined decades of experience. Our mission is to offer the highest quality compassionate, respectful care for people who are struggling along the full spectrum of mental health concerns.
