Clifton Park, NY 12065
My work is influenced by a feminist theoretical perspective.
I work with teenage, young adult, and adult women wanting to increase wellness, manage their mental health, and be more confident in their life. I specialize in assisting women who have ADHD and/or, who are struggling with their self-esteem. I help teen girls learn about their mental health and how to cope. I chose Candidly Speaking, because for me it embraces confidence in yourself and being okay with who you are! If you’re feeling confused about how to manage ADHD, struggling with self worth, and don't know where to start- I'm here to help. Self growth can be difficult but having therapeutic support can make that easier.

We synthesize this knowledge and identify actions for change using CBT, systems theory, and feminist therapy and by deconstructing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
Hi there, I'm Sarah. I help folks on working through anxiety in the many ways it manifests, within the many different situations in which it may arise. I specialize in helping folks who are having trouble managing perfectionism, social anxiety, and anxiety occurring in different environments or situations including adjusting to life changes and transitions, challenging relationships or communication issues, and navigating a new identity or sense of self. Often these challenges intersect with one another and can have an impact on self-esteem and depression. I also specialize in targeting this closely related intersection.

Whether you have been to therapy before or are making the leap to explore yourself for the first time, starting therapy can be intimidating. Maybe you feel that despite your best attempts at putting the puzzle pieces of your life/situation together, you still can't seem to find peace. Maybe you don't know where to even start. We can't evade having emotional experiences, so learning to not only cope, but embrace our emotions is an invaluable skill. If you are struggling with the present, ruminating on the past, or worrying about the future- there is a path forward that is worth exploring.

I have over 30 years experience working as a psychotherapist with a great variety of people who have come to me for help. My style is conversational, engaging and direct - I prefer a humane rather than a clinical approach and I actively participate in creating our work together. I love to help people develop emotionally and be able to make creative changes and meet challenges in their lives. My experience has been that people frequently discover, in their work with me, that they have more resources with which to build their lives than they had previously imagined.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

Beginning therapy can be overwhelming, but you are deserving of a space to openly reflect on and process through your experiences. When life starts to feel heavy, it can be hard to cope and connect with others. Anxiety may intensify these struggles, leaving you feeling isolated and exhausted. If you find yourself caught in a cycle of racing thoughts and constant worry, you're not alone. Therapy can offer you the tools and support you need to break free from old patterns and discover healthier ways of navigating life's challenges.

Hi, I'm Jen. I'm a clinical social worker who has worked with children, adolescents and parents for twenty years. My goal in each session is to make my patients feel comfortable and identify their feelings. Each session begins with an emotional check-in and an update of what has happened in life since the last session. From there, together we can determine what the specific goal of the session will be, or continue to expand on skills and strategies introduced earlier. I believe in the need to be flexible depending on what the needs are in the moment of the patient. I craft a judgment free zone to help people be their best self.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
