Jungian Therapists in East Rochester, NY

I offer an interactive, practical, comprehensive, respectful and resourceful style of therapy that helps people shift their focus from wondering, "What's wrong with me?" to asking a very different question: "What's right about me?" My sessions, for both individuals and couples, are designed to identify effective and practical problem-solving strategies, as well as to uncover inner strengths and healing resources to address your concerns. I am open-minded and value cultural and religious diversity.

I am a Jungian-oriented psychoanalyst in Western NY. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help get to the root of your problems instead of creating temporary fixes. We will use dreams, archetypes and synchronicities in your life to help create your own unique path toward healing. If you have made your life decisions based on what others want for you, that may have lead you astray from your own innate purpose in the world. When we become awakened to this insight, change becomes possible and your symptoms begin to subside.

Often our deepest wounds have relational origin. Despite our best efforts to create change, we can often feel overwhelmed and defeated amidst the demands of each day. By focusing on developing a healthy relationship between therapist and client, we can create a secure space to understand your concerns more fully. Over time, the hurt and pain can be found and even transformed.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. I work with a wide variety of clients but what they all have in common is the courage it takes to show up and tell their stories. We all struggle with various inner parts that hijack us sometimes. You may be quite familiar with your own inner Judge, Critic, or Taskmaster (to name a few of the most ubiquitous hijackers). I truly admire clients who share their often messy, sometimes aching, always-in-progress stories. I believe there is tremendous power in the act of speaking our truths aloud.

I am a licensed psychotherapist/art therapist who uses creativity and talk therapy to help individuals of all ages, gain emotional strength, insights and recover a healthy self image. Stress, anxiety and traumatic memories can take a toll on your quality of life. Psychotherapy can be the most important relationship of your life. Together we will improve your sense of well-being, uncover your strengths and reconnect with what brings you happiness. I have 16 years of clinical experience working with people of all ages, different populations and teaching and supervising art therapists in training.

You've come here and you're reading this because you need to make a change. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, issues with self-doubt/self-confidence, existential difficulties, difficulties with relationships, or maybe life is great but you'd like it to be better by getting to deeper internal struggles, I am at your service. I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you better. Let's walk your path together and create the life you want.

Often we have little or no say in the difficulties that befall us. We have our own health problems, our relationship troubles, our work demands - as well as those of the people we love. Often we don't know what to do or we can't do what we wish. In spite of not being able to change circumstances, we do have a say in how we relate to these conflicts and transitions. Looking at our own response to crisis, both large and small, is an important part of therapy. In looking at our response, we are on a journey of self discovery and knowledge. Even in hard times there is a kind of joy that comes from self understanding and awareness.

Hello, and thank you for taking time to learn about my practice. My name is Courtney and I have been practicing psychotherapy and Creative Arts Therapy for almost 20 years. I view the therapy relationship as a collaboration, with my primary role as a guide in creating a safe container for healing, achieving balance & empowerment and developing insight & conscious awareness for a more positive and fulfilling life. My style is that of curiosity, non-judgement and compassion for your experience, while together we cocreate a therapeutic path forward to heal old wounds and evolve into new healthy behaviors and coping abilities.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can weigh on you. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself can have some challenging and long-term consequences. What starts as suppressing your emotions ends up as ongoing depression and anxiety as you continually make choices to minimize conflict rather than truly meet your own needs. While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.

Often, painful experiences shake the very foundation of who we are. Perhaps you've been crafting narratives about yourself based on the most challenging experiences you’ve endured. These stories may leave you feeling misunderstood and struggling to forge a strong sense of self, especially when your lived experience doesn’t align with societal norms. This can manifest as debilitating symptoms, difficulty connecting with others, and damaging self-beliefs, causing you to question your inherent worth and identity. Despite what your inner critic may be telling you, it is possible to discover and embrace your authentic self.

Are you ready to step into your most authentic self? I am here to help you along the way. Painful experiences and emotions that we hide away control how we feel, view the world and behave. In our sessions together, all of you is welcome.

I am so glad you are taking this first step in your therapy journey towards healing, growth, and change. I work with adults who are coping with any life change or challenge that may be causing distress. I work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, confidence issues, trauma, coping with or transitioning from narcissistic abuse, or any transition in life. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for you to share your story and explore your emotions. Together, we will identify barriers to your personal success and life satisfaction, and begin the process of healing by helping you to create the life you choose.

Are you ready to live a full, free and authentic life? Whether you are working through a particularly difficult time in your life or you are seeking increased self awareness, happiness, and fulfillment - psychotherapy can help you acquire the understanding and tools that you need to realize your fullest potential in all areas of your life.

I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, and couples issues with empathy and expertise. Your first session will always be offered within 7 days, and guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. As owner of practice Whole Wellness Services, I have designed a treatment team of experts that are solution focused and utilize evidence based practices while retaining a holistic philosophy. Individuals that come to us for therapy are looking for help with getting to a more joyful place and alleviating symptoms or behaviors that may be holding them back from doing so.

Life can be filled with an unbelievable number of things that we need to manage every day. Balancing all the demands required of us can result in feeling drained and unsatisfied with daily life. Let's give you a new perspective on old problems and help you overcome life’s challenging hurdles.
