Therapists in Winooski, VT

For the time being I am working virtually using a telemedicine portal. So far it as been working out well!! Focusing on self and on family history can provide insights to meaningful change. Knowledge of who you are enables you to redirect anxiety and think differently about others in your family and larger social system. Challenges can become opportunities.

I provide a safe environment for individuals, couples, children and families to explore the difficult times they are experiencing in their lives. My approach is to develop a comfortable and collaborative relationship with my clients so that we can identify a practical and structured plan for reaching therapeutic goals. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide support, tools and practical feedback to help clients address life challenges. I work with people who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety and grief. I enjoy working with couples to improve communication, respect, and intimacy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience with clients of all ages. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and managing the stress of everyday life. I also offer an outdoor/adventure based program for teens using hands-on projects as a conduit for building confidence, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. Unfortunately. this is only available to private-pay clients. I don't deploy a single therapeutic technique. Rather, I blend the best parts of many different approaches. My clients typically find me warm and validating while gently pushing them to grow in the specific areas.

Depression, anxiety, and despair invite us to seek out deeper connections and growth. The intimacy that develops in the therapeutic relationship is different from what passes for communication in most peoples' daily lives. In the I and Thou, of genuine therapy, there is no barrier. The goal is to be able to totally see and to be seen. Pretense, persona, the need to impress, many aspects of false perception all fall away. There are no barriers. It is a way of healing soul sickness that is challenging to both therapist and patient while at the same time being effective and fulfilling. Join me for an initial exploratory meeting.

I utilize a non-judgmental and collaborative approach to assist people in increasing their self-knowledge to create positive change.

The goal of my practice is to help reduce suffering and to increase capacity for joy, flexibility, and life fulfillment. I individualize my approach to your needs using a mix of different psychological approaches, including cognitive-behavioral, narrative and psychodynamic. I am a Vermont licensed doctoral-level psychologist who trained in health psychology at the Minneapolis VA Hospital, and engaged in postdoctoral study in behavioral medicine at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. I worked for many years at the Hazelden Center, a nationally-recognized leader in addiction treatment, and gained additional experience working with adolescents as a high school counselor and wellness teacher

Openings Mon AM, Wed AM/early PM, Thurs at noon: I work with children, teens, families, and adults who are ready to heal from trauma and build healthy relationships. As a Queer therapist, I support marginalized people to build self-worth and live with a greater sense of wellbeing amidst systems that undermine our inherent value. Working with me is what it sounds like: having a guide for you, your child, and partner(s) in building more loving, functional, and liberating relationships with yourself and others. With adults and teens, I utilize an evidence-based modality based in neuroscience called Brainspotting to heal trauma.

As humans, we experience both internal and external challenges as we navigate life, and how we understand and approach these challenges is what informs our mental and emotional wellbeing. As a therapist, I work with individuals who are experiencing such challenges and are seeking support in better understanding them as well as navigating them. Grounded in a strengths-based understanding of counseling, I approach my work with compassion, genuine curiosity and authenticity to best support individuals’ feelings of connection, insight and healing.

Many people look for a counselor when they recognize repeating patterns that aren't serving them well. They seek to understand how they got there. This pattern could be depression, overeating, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, parenting issues, body image, etc. I can provide assistance toward understanding and improving your patterns by helping you to reframe and overcome challenges you face through a positive lens. We can explore an array of informed, viable solutions, illuminating and reinforcing support systems, identifying and evaluating coping tools, their efficacy, and gaining new ones.

Experienced and Compassionate: Brigid’s approach to therapy is based on understanding each individual/couple/family needs, and then helping to form goals and strategies for facing challenges. Brigid approaches each person through the lens of their unique experience, specializing in assisting individuals with relationship problems, parenting challenges, blended family issues, depression, anxiety, chronic and acute medical conditions, grief, loss, trauma, substance use, caregiver/helping professionals, active duty military members and their families, relationship issues, life stage transitions, and identity formation and development.

We all face challenges in our lives. The current climate of our world can often lead us to feel like our struggles are outweighing life's gifts. I work to help clients balance the different aspects of their lives. Together, we can challenge unwanted negative thoughts and work on changing how we react to the struggles that we face each day with a goal of strengthening healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. I believe in the importance and effectiveness of a strong therapeutic alliance between clinician and client, this alliance serves as the foundation for meaningful and rewarding treatment.

I enjoy working with clients of any age and from all walks of life. I have worked in treatment facilities with individuals and families focusing on addiction issues, trauma, behavior management, modification, and effective communications strategies. Examining a person and their experiences, creating a holistic approach is important to me and the success of my client. Part of this holistic approach is exploring past experiences, patterns in life, and creating opportunities for resiliency of self. I have a masters in school counseling, and help families with schools and transition planning. I have also completed all of my addiction counseling courses, and continue my professional development.

In my role as a Positive Psychology Clinical Social Worker and Addiction specialist, I am committed to providing comprehensive support to individuals facing a range of challenges. My practice spans across both Georgia and Vermont, allowing me to extend my compassionate guidance to a diverse clientele. One of the primary areas of focus in my work is assisting clients who are grappling with depression and anxiety. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I empower them to regain control of their mental well-being and build a brighter future.
