Therapists in Monroe, NY

Why were we taught algebra, but never taught about healthy relationships, delightful sex, grief, depression, or loving our bodies? Why do we fall into the same traps we fell into yesterday? Why do we go back to behaviors that we know are bad for us? I work with folks who feel stuck in painful cycles. I have special training in relationships, sex, and grief. I’ll give you tools & hold you accountable. My specialties are relationships, anxiety, grief, men's issues, queer issues, compulsive masturbation, porn literacy, low desire, ED & teens.

Is current life testing your ability to cope? Have chronic concerns persisted? My therapeutic style facilitates health in response to many struggles; anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship conflicts, grief, as well as, sexual, emotional, and physical trauma to improve your quality of life.

I offer therapy that addresses acute and chronic issues, fostering healing by the integration of past, present, body and mind.

In times of crisis and uncertainty, it can be hard to remember our potential for joy, meaning, freedom, and connection. I act as an ally and accomplice, offering support as you walk the path of questioning and transformation. I believe therapy is just another word for the wisdom humans have always held – we hurt and are healed in relationship to others. Over the course of our work, clients gain confidence, learn to recognize and set boundaries, and grow more attuned to the present moment.

To be fully alive means to experience the whole gamut of human emotions, including the uncomfortable ones like anxiety, sadness, anger, and shame. Paradoxically, the more fully we feel our feelings, the less intense and problematic they become over time! My job is to help people develop the skills to better recognize, understand, and tolerate their feelings, and in so doing, expand their capacity for pleasurable and joyful emotions.

Are you a caretaker trying your hardest to understand a child or vice versa? Are you struggling with a relationship (familial, romantic, platonic, or professional)? Do your emotions, or the emotions of someone close to you feel out of control? Is it difficult for you to practice positive self-talk and refrain from comparing yourself to other people? We are all raised to believe specific ideas about who we are - beliefs that impact our decisions and behaviors. These concepts are frequently rooted in cultural norms and stereotypes that shape our identities and have an overbearing influence on our experiences.

We offer creative therapy for creative people because sometimes words are not enough. We primarily use verbal psychotherapy practices to treat our clients, and depending on your needs we may take a more active role and offer, music, visual art, poetry, movement, drama, or EMDR to help you move those sticky feelings. Our goal is to help you create a sense of flow in your life. Therapy like our art, can help us gain insight, reduce anxiety, worry, fear and help us increase our consciousness and connection to our innermost self. No experience in the arts is necessary.

Grief is the price we pay for loving deeply and having to let go. It can result from the death of a loved one, end of a relationship, or the loss of a job, home or former identity. Grief can feel simultaneously empty, yet heavy. It can cause confusion of how to go on living a "normal" life. It can also feel like no one else could possibly understand. After a decade of working alongside individuals who were dying, providing counseling to care givers and loved ones, I understand the significant pain and trauma of grieving. I also know how to help in healing and restoring hope.
