Therapists in Albany County, NY

We are all much more simply human than otherwise (Harry Stack Sullivan). I believe that one finds mental health in meaningful, connected relationships with others-our parents, partners, children, friends, siblings, and therapists. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty into my therapeutic work, and act as a support and guide as you work to improve areas of your life that you are inspired to change. I focus on growth and reparation, not pathology. I have a broad range of experience with all ages and ranges of problems, and can offer comprehensive treatment to children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups.

Even when we have received the ideal nurturing, secure, validating childhood, which can help us to negotiate complexities and challenges we may face later in life, our inner resources can become depleted. The capacity to find joy and comfort may elude us. Rebalancing areas of outer life, and planning steps toward change may be in order. I make time to learn about the myriad ways that using art, energetic, somatic and stress reducing therapies can help each person who comes in, to restore their inner lives as well.

If you had a sore throat you'd see a doctor, right? We are taught as a society to take care of our physical health, but our mental health is no different! Are you having difficulty managing a big transition in your life? Are you experiencing feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you grieving a loss? Are you struggling in your relationship? If so, you don't have to handle it alone. My name is Savannah. I'm a mental health professional here to help and work along side you to find your way back to healthy functioning.

With an outside the box approach, our therapists use creative means to bring healing, growth, and change in addition to traditional talk therapy. We work with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, managing major life changes, anger management, codependency, relationship struggles, trauma, invisible illness (MS, etc), insomnia, and many different stressors and situations from childhood all through adult life. We’re a group of 6 therapists offering a wide range of therapy services, aligned practices, and wellness workshops, so we most likely have something that you are looking for.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Looking for a counselor is one of the first steps to making a change. As counselors we want to create a space for you to explore the best way to make your life better. We are a group of affiliated clinicians including pre-licensed and licensed mental health counselors and licensed social workers. We are offering services to Hudson NY and surrounding communities.

Is your child or teen struggling socially, academically or at home? Do they appear sad, worried, or angry? Are they spending too much time on digital media? Parents want to help their child but do not always know how or where to start. In our work together, I can help you better understand your child's behaviors and needs. I work collaboratively with the family unit to negotiate change so that all members feel heard and everyone has bought into a healthier way of life. I strive to provide a supportive, comfortable, safe and encouraging environment that facilitates growth and lasting change.

I am a skilled and experienced psychotherapist and certified yoga teacher offering an eclectic, individualized and holistic approach to clients. I provide ongoing or short term support, guidance and skills to those having difficulty coping with life transitions, dysfunctional patterns of thinking or behaviors and traumatic events. I treat adults, children and families who are open and willing to participate in self-discovery and find deeper connection to their truest self. I believe the frenzied pace of our frenetic lifestyle often prevents us from connecting with our own wisdom. I take great joy in helping others envision and manifest their potential.

The Hudson Valley Center for Development is a Mt. Sinai associated mental health services practice created in 2007 to meet the emotional needs of adults, children, adolescents, and families in Orange County and the lower Hudson Valley. Our warm and experienced staff provide in person psychotherapy and tele-therapy.

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) I believe that creativity and access to our imagination is an essential tool for self-discovery, transformation and health. When we become stuck in life, these tend to be the first tools that we lose access to. I have a body-centered, trauma-informed, holistic and individualized approach that also recognizes that we are each impacted by the communities and systems that we are part of. I enjoy collaborating with clients to help you find agency in your own healing process and become your own visionary in hard times.

I support children, adolescents, adults, and families in their lifelong efforts towards a good life. I treat a variety of issues but I specialize in OCD, anxiety, trauma resolution, and parent-child relationship building. My practice is affirming of neurodiversity and rooted in principles of cultural humility and social justice.

I offer flexible scheduling; with sessions on nights and weekends. We can meet at your home, in the community or virtually. I am LGBTQ, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and neurodivergent friendly. I specialize in working with clients ages 11 and up, couples, and families. I have worked with clients with complex trauma, developmental disabilities, Autism, personality disorders, chronic health issues, mood symptoms, behavioral difficulties, and grief/loss.

Let's say you've come to me to ask for help, for you or your child. I would say, "Have you tried making art about it?" Don't get bogged down by any worry about art-making skills or ability. I aim to find the most comfortable way for you or your child to share because a safe and therapeutic space to express yourself will help uncover unexpected solutions for yourself and your child. Because sometimes words just don't cut it.

We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Relationship woes? Existential Angst? Have a troubled teen or child in trouble? Feel stuck your life? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through this too. This is temporary. We will reach out to you, discuss your needs, and pair you with a therapist familiar with your needs. Together, you will meet, identify issues, collaborate to create a plan, follow through with some reasonable interventions, and figure out ways to make the changes last.

Have you ever been asked, ‘Are you okay?’ and felt like your world was about to come crashing down just by hearing those three words? Emotions can be overwhelming. They are even more overwhelming if we try to deal with them alone. These overwhelming feelings may result from trauma, relationship troubles, stress from work or school, major life transitions, unconscious beliefs, etc. However, no matter what we may have experienced, we all have an innate ability to grow, change, and thrive. I work mainly with adolescent and young adult populations with a focus on anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
