French Therapists in Loudonville, NY

Each life is a gift. I acknowledge and honor each individual that joins me with their most heartfelt challenges to their most celebrated achievements. I use an integrative approach to treat anxiety, depression, trauma in adolescents, adults, and couples. I offer a warm and collaborative approach to tackling your life’s challenges through making concrete goals with you. I have been practicing for several years, working with various populations in the New York City metropolitan area.

My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to engage in the therapy process, and is open to both feedback and support. The ideal client is also someone willing to learn and practice healthy coping skills, as well as integrate what they have learned in counseling into their everyday lives. Patients should understand that the therapy process takes time, and commitment as well as good attendance is necessary in order to see progress.

Individuals of all ages, nationalities, gender, and sexual orientation are welcomed. The populations I work with include individuals, couples, students as well as  extended and blended families.

I am an energetic, youthful, and altruistic mental health counselor skilled in new age models of therapy. My overall therapeutic goal is to work alongside clients to empower them to find their inner strength and help them channel it to make the appropriate changes in their lives. I am skilled in working with a wide range of clinical issues.

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

Do you find yourself dwelling on the past? Is your fear of the future holding you back? Are you wrestling with organizational struggles, losing track of tasks, or anger management? I know how crippling that can feel. Together we can navigate these challenges, identifying the inner part of you that wants to succeed, and fostering a sense of control and empowerment. My goal is to provide you with practical tools and a compassionate space to overcome obstacles. This is the Person Centered Approach.

I am here to be your compassionate, nonjudgmental, no-nonsense therapist. We can work together to tackle what's bothering you, no matter how serious it feels. Maybe you are at the end of your rope and you don't know how to face the obstacles life has thrown at you. Maybe you want more out of your life and relationships. Maybe you are dealing with troubling experiences but aren't sure if therapy will actually work. For each client, I blend my extensive knowledge of therapy techniques and research, my warmth and compassion, and my occasionally quirky personality to create a safe and useful space for you to heal and grow.

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.

Do you know what you are looking for in a therapist? You are probably reading this because you are considering talking to someone about your anxiety/depression, work/relationship, life transition, or possibly trauma or bereavement issues. I am a NYS licensed psychologist and treat these and many other issues. I work with highly successful people who have problems, in addition to those who want to do better in their lives, and those with more serious problems.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for children and adolescents, helping to diagnose conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional challenges such as depression or anxiety. My assessments are thorough, and child-friendly, and aim to give a complete picture of your child’s cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning.

My focus is on helping adults, families, and children in overcoming personal and relational barriers using a collaborative approach and creative expression. I encourage your own capacity to heal within the framework of a safe and trusting therapeutic environment, integrating psychodynamic, somatic, and Internal Family Systems-based interventions as well as the artistic process.

Are you looking for support navigating life’s challenges or adjusting to transitions related to loss or life stages? Would you like to improve your self esteem, develop communication skills, decrease problem thoughts or behaviors or learn skills to regulate your emotions and moods? Do you want to feel more connected to yourself or others? If you are seeking balance, ease of mind, and improved perspective mindfulness based psychotherapy is an excellent way to begin.

People seeking to become who they really are---that is, whole, balanced, resilient, contented---seek me out. I support kind, healthy, authentic relationship with all aspects of oneself because such relationship is key to kind, healthy, authentic relationships with others. It's also key to expressing ourselves most fully, both creatively and pragmatically. Whether working with individuals or couples, these principles apply. I try to make our work together as fun, co-creative, and as low in stress as possible. I intend for clients to leave therapy with personalized skills and skillful means for ongoing lifetime growth and resiliency.

The impact that a life-changing diagnosis can have on individuals and their families can be profound. It can feel like a betrayal when our bodies don’t allow us to live our lives the way we expect, impacting our relationships, careers, and hopes. How can we move forward in life when it feels like our bodies are holding us back? How do we grieve our hopes and dreams while trying to fully understand how they are affected by our new circumstances? How do we do all of this while trying to navigate a medical system that often leaves us feeling unheard and unseen?
