Therapists in Binghamton, NY

As a therapist I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery and healing.

I am a certified provider of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

I am accepting new clients for in person counseling and psychotherapy in Binghamton, NY in addition to online videotherapy and am accepting new clients. Since 2010, I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and families facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, as well as related issues including substance abuse, codependency, and anger. As a therapist I try to create a safe & supportive place to talk about your goals for change and growth while developing skills to overcome barriers to achieving them.

My work as a therapist has focused on helping individuals with a variety of challenges, including recovery from alcohol and drug use, managing depression and anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, men's issues, and codependency among others. While these challenges are common for many folks, I tailor my approach to meet your needs and goals that are most important to you in a non-judgmental and open way.

With over 30 years of experience, I offer psychotherapeutic services to individuals who are experiencing relationship difficulties, phase-of-life issues, grief, depression, and/or anxiety disorders. My style is relational, collaborative and strengths-based. Having been formally trained in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I tend to view current psychological challenges as providing renewed opportunities for growth and development, toward the achievement of a richer, more vital, and fully-engaged life.

Living in an increasingly complicated world with seemingly unlimited choices about “the right way to be” can lead us to feel lost, alienated, and overwhelmed. Looking inwardly at our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can be confusing and challenging. My goal is to help you to be able to see yourself openly, honestly, and without judgment in order to heal and grow. From this vantage point, we can work together to develop clear goals and construct a caring path for change.

An Ideal client is one who is willing to work actively with me to solve their issues. We work together to develop a treatment plan and reach their goals. I especially enjoy working with anxious and phobic clients and see them face, confront and feel the freedom that comes from being phobic-free and more relaxed. I have a passion for working with victims of narcissists (bullies) who learn how to stand up to these people and no longer feel like a victim.

I have been doing counseling and psychotherapy for over thirty years. I enjoy working with individuals and will include their significant others, including spouse, partners, family members, friends and (yes) pets. As I see it, my job as a therapist is to work with you to create an environment in which you will feel emotionally safe, and one in which you can feel OK talking about all aspects of yourself. This allows us to use your personal strengths and resources to resolve your difficultes so you can become more like the person you want to be.

Hi. Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Are you feeling disconnected from others and having a difficult time communicating needs and desires to loved ones? I can help with that. I have been working with people on communication and negotiation of needs for many years. Being raised in a foster home, by my adopted parents, has helped my gain skills that I would not have had the opportunity to acquire otherwise, such as, accepting everyone for who they are and where they come from regardless of their background.

Sharing a life with someone is hard. Having an expectation that this life will somehow match what we see in movies or read in books can make anyone feel like a failure. In my practice, I do my best to help couples find ways to connect, build trust, and learn how to turn towards each other regardless of experiences and past hurts.

Are you struggling with issues you feel no one around you understands? Do you feel stuck in life? Are you frustrated with self- sabotage or self defeating patterns?

My goal is to provide you with that space so that you can develop better coping skills, better self care, and help you feel empowered to make changes you have been waiting for. Don't let your fears or doubts hold you hostage any longer! Looking forward to getting to know you!

As a Black femme, disabled, poly, LGBTQ person I have firsthand experience navigating the difficulty finding a therapist who can understand those intersections. Therapists need to recognize familial,interpersonal and systemic issues that can make achieving one’s goals challenging. We all deserve support through life's transitions. Whether you are navigating grief or unpacking a life filled with trauma, the goal is to determine what kind of life you want to live and then the necessary steps to get you there. Peace, love and belonging are attainable with the right tools. I foster a responsible space where you can feel seen and heard.

Anxiety and depression issues can make life difficult. Fear and trauma can get us stuck. Change is hard and in today's environment it's really challenging. Remember, fear is a thief and a liar. You may have heard "On the other side of fear is freedom". These statements are true, but sometimes we need someone to walk through and process the difficult times with us. I will provide a safe respectful space for individuals to explore and process feelings and make changes toward a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families.

Reaching out for support takes courage, especially when you may be feeling like you have to walk life alone. I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families in our community in many settings for almost a decade. My goal is to provide a safe, understanding, and comfortable environment for you to openly share your experiences as we work together to navigate life's challenges, stressors, and transitions. I take a strengths-based, supportive, and trauma-informed approach tailored to your unique needs.

Being human most of us have experienced trauma of various degrees throughout our lives. It may create distress in our personal and our professional lives causing loss, anxiety, depression and many other forms of physical and emotional pain. We want relief from these issues so we can gain fulfillment in our relationships, a purpose to live, and a sense of peace and well-being. If we can only become aware of what makes us think, feel and react the way we do, maybe we can figure out what we can control and deal with what we can't.

Providing my patients with a safe, non-judgemental space in which they can heal is my passion. My life’s work has been focused on helping people navigate the painful hardships of life including grief, divorce and trauma along with the depression and anxiety that accompany difficult life circumstances.

The Bridge Therapy's mental health practice understands the desire for privacy and the assurances we all need when we reach out for help. Our professional services are direct, client centered and treatment-focused. We feel confident that they are the type of services that can help folks get better as they are getting well. I believe that a person’s innate self-healing is cultivated and activated by relationships, resources, dialogue, respect, and care. My belief is that personal healing and success can mean life doesn’t always feel that hard, that it may feel easier, and that some comfort and relief might be felt.

I have over 20 years experience working in both the private and public sectors, as well as in hospital and clinic levels of care. Individual, family, and parent sessions are available for children, adolescents, and adults. An initial session may be required to complete an assessment of the needs of treatment, and to formulate recommendations. I will honor the uniqueness and complexity of each individual I work with, and tailor my therapeutic approach to the particular needs of each individual. For children and adolescents, I require an initial session with the caregiver(s).
