Intervention Therapists in Oakdale, NY

All of us can become overwhelmed by life's demands, work responsibilities and relationship challenges. Struggles may seem to resolve over time but yet the same conflicts keep popping up again and again. Attempts to resolve or neutralize their impact, stretch our limits and move boundaries and abandon goals; ultimately losing sight of who we are. I encourage you to take a risk: give yourself permission and time to sort through your thoughts and feelings so you can restore energy and clarity to re-assess personal needs and goals.

It is particularly important for one to feel connected with and deeply understood by the psychologist that they choose. My approach to therapy is welcoming, empathetic, collaborative, and draws upon years of experience gained working in outpatient settings and schools. I have extensive experience and training using cognitive-behavioral techniques in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have specialized training in crisis-intervention, individual therapy, family therapy, play-therapy, and in conducting assessments.

I am an experienced Counselor with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care field. Skilled in treating both adults and adolescents, I utilized CBT, TF-CBT, Mindfulness, addiction counseling, Crisis Intervention, Family Therapy, Group therapy, and Spirituality in my practice. I work with clients who experiencing Depression, Anxiety and/or Substance Use Disorder and Forensic and mandate individuals. I am able to attain an understanding of each of my clients and help them to identify coping skills that are more effective and beneficial to their lifestyles.

Have you ever wished that you could talk with someone about your deepest troubles and worries without being judged? Do you want to have someone who can help you untangle your emotions while feeling safe and accepted at the same time? Do you feel lost in a world where everyone else "has it together?" I assure you that everyone at some point in their lives would benefit from therapy. No issue is too big or too small- if something has been on your mind and you cannot resolve it no matter how hard you try, you've come to the right place.

Imagine being able to come up with more than one reason to be grateful? Or grateful for much of anything at all, truly, rather than a laundry list of gratitudes that you think you "should" be grateful for. All those "shoulds". Reminding yourself everyday that what you're doing is not what you "should" be doing. You "shouldn't" think like this or you "shouldn't" feel like that. You begin to disapprove of yourself even, thinking that your undeserving of your own pain. You can see how these unrealistic expectations and the harsh judments you place on yourself, could lead you directly towards a place of suffering & self sabotage.

Hello and Welcome- At True to Self Counseling we believe a supportive therapeutic relationship can have a significant impact for anyone. It can help provide insight, strength, solutions, and new coping strategies for all types of challenges in life. Our experience has shown us that when people are provided with a comfortable environment, they become willing to explore and express themselves more freely and honestly. Our hope is that we successfully guide people towards a greater self-awareness. We believe it is empowering when people can utilize their own unique abilities to overcome the concerns that led them into therapy
