Therapists in Accord, NY
You may have arrived here because something in your life is changing.
Perhaps you've lost someone, left a relationship, changed careers, questioned your faith, gender, sexuality, become a parent, received a diagnosis, or sensed that the life you've built no longer reflects who you are.
Many of the people I work with find themselves in these liminal spaces. Some are navigating grief, loss, or significant life transitions. Others are moving through periods of identity reformation, spiritual questioning, or uncertainty. These moments can feel disorienting, but they can also become invitations into a deeper relationship with yourself.

Every relationship tells a story. Whether you're coming to therapy on your own or with someone important in your life, I help people better understand the patterns shaping their relationships so they can move toward greater connection, clarity, and choice. As a queer, non-binary relational therapist, I offer an affirming space where curiosity is valued over blame and where your identities, relationships, and lived experiences are welcomed as important parts of your story.

My work is focused very much on personal development and introspection. With workshops that involve deep inner personal work, it is important to me that you are willing to commit to therapy and truly prepared to dedicate time to experiencing your life in a new way. It is often very rewarding but can also be a challenging experience to have real change in your life. My work is for those who are ready to grow, learn and are open to the experience of transformation.

“Meet the client where they’re at” is my guiding principle. Trauma is complex, but when we talk about it, we begin to take our lives back, no matter what part of our journey we’re living. I imagine you’re scrolling through therapists, glancing at the different faces, and now you’re feeling into this therapist. You feel vulnerable and if you’re honest- nervous, scared, and anxious. How can I trust a person I’ve never met with the pain I’ve never spoken about? You may feel shame, and you made an unspoken agreement with yourself to never speak of what happened to you. Contacting a therapist is an act of courage. I applaud you.

How are you and your partner doing as summer begins? Do you feel like every conversation with your partner turns into an argument? Or worse, silence? Maybe you’re living more like roommates or struggling to rebuild trust after it’s been broken. If you’re feeling distant, lonely, or misunderstood, you’re not alone. Things can change. Together, you rebuild trust; bring back affection and rediscover the joy of being a team. With the right tools, you and your partner can communicate more clearly, handle disagreements with respect, and strengthen the connection that first brought you together.

You worry all the time about being judged by other people. You feel disconnected from your body and, at the same time, feel like it’s all you think about. You question what you say, how your body looks, if you’re doing things “right,” and there are so many times where your mind feels like it’s on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. You feel on edge all day and sometimes even feel like you may be having a heart attack. You don’t feel like you fit in anywhere. You’ve been made fun of before for so many different parts of who you are. You’ve been called weird or have been misunderstood at work, in your family, and even in some of your dating relationships. You’ve struggled to find someone who feels like a good fit romantically, and you’re worried there’s something wrong with you. You want to feel more connected to yourself again…

Sometimes life's challenges, transitions, or conditions are more than we can handle. Feelings of sadness or fear overwhelm. We realize that the way we are living is not how we want to live but are unable to make changes on our own. Unhealthy relationships, dealing with disappointment or loss, feeling alone, or struggling with an inner critic, are a few examples of what leads people to reach out to me. In my practice I largely employ the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as my framework but also draw techniques from CBT, EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, when needed.

You're tired of repeating painful patterns and not fully understanding why they keep happening. Maybe unresolved trauma, anxiety, shame, or identity questions are quietly shaping your relationships and sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of your footing.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, look beneath the surface, and work through the underlying emotional patterns so lasting change can take root. Serving Hudson Valley, NY.

There's something powerful about having a space where you can show up as your whole self, feel safe enough to be seen, and curiosity replaces judgement. Therapy with me is human, grounded, and focused on what matters to you. I work with adults, teens, kids and their families who are navigating emotional dysregulation, grief, complex trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, parenthood, and all the weight that comes with being invested in life. My style is warm and relation and I use humor when it fits, because sometimes levity can be its own form of healing. I aim to create space where feelings can emerge however they need to.

Who you share your stories with matters. This is one of the reasons why choosing a therapist is so personal and important. There are many connections that shape your life. However, life doesn’t have to be dictated by previous experiences or fate. You have the capacity to make choices with the stories you're born into, and live these stories forward in new ways. The understanding that occurs in therapy creates the freedom to live meaningfully, especially when shared with a therapist who has broad experience and intuitive sensitivity to your concerns.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
