Therapists in Chenango County, NY

In four plus decades of counseling a wide variety of people I have learned a great deal about the human condition and how the psychological, physical, familial, and social contexts in which we live can cause our lives to feel like an overwhelming fight for survival. As human beings we should be able to expect more. In this counseling practice you will have my full respect and caring as a base on which to build a therapeutic relationship in which you can remember and discover a more authentic, alive version of yourself.

Are you struggling to feel like "yourself" again? Are you unable to feel settled, unable to keep up with your schedule or commitments? Are you feeling upset or more emotional for no apparent reason? Crises, be they large or small, disorient and leave us feeling uncertain, less able to rely upon and function like "ourselves." Growth and change are among the most positive and humanly adaptive qualities and yet the most uncertain and difficult experiences in life. At such times we want unbiased and reliable support to help restore our sense of self and help make positive choices for our lives.

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.

One life is One story, is it time to change yours? I aim to help folks take life to the next level, whether it's improving relationships, healing old wounds, or making meaning out of life.

Sessions are through telehealth to people across NY and FL. >Appts avail for individuals (no couples/relationships) Mon biwkly at 12noon, Weds wkly at 12noon, Weds biwkly at 2pm, Thurs biwkly at 12noon<

If you're feeling troubled – whether in the long term or in a crisis – you may need outside help. Psychodynamic therapy (PDT) may offer the help you need. In PDT as I practice it, I engage interactively with my patients to help them understand what troubles them in the larger context of who they are as individuals. As a patient you can share your thoughts and feelings with me in complete confidence, without holding anything back. I do my best to enter into your experience from your point of view, bearing in mind that the sources of what troubles us can lie beneath the surface, outside of our consciousness or hidden in the past.

Donnie Joseph has 27 years of experience working in social service and counseling spaces. During that time he has worked to counsel and support people during challenging times in their lives- whether in a psychiatric unit, emergency department, an outpatient substance abuse program, a long-term residential adolescent program, or a stabilization unit, Donnie considers it an honor and a privilege to stand alongside people and be a source of support during these vulnerable times.

In working with clients in psychotherapy, I find it useful first to sort out what's working in their lives from what's not. Then we look at what's not working; be it depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, compulsive & addictive behavior, and extreme emotional reactions. All of these things can all serve as clues to help us identify and address hidden and unexpressed emotions and experiences. (In addition to treating adults, couples, and adolescents with the more standard therapy issues, I have extensive experience working with the full gamut of sexual topics.)

Do you ever feel as though the natural approach we take to overcoming stress or “symptoms” ends up with us spinning our wheels, trying to avoid thoughts or feelings? Maybe what we really need to practice is inviting them in and fully experiencing the present moment. I have dedicated my career to helping clients overcome what life throws at them. It can be rejuvenating to try something completely new, a complete 180 to the way we were taught to interact with our inner world

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

Hello Everyone! I work with individuals and couples. I teach couples simple, proven, and easy to learn skills from Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy that partners can use to repair, or improve their current, and future relationships. I work with adults to help them understand what caused the stuck places in their lives and together we collaborate to create solutions that heal those issues and create positive change.

Welcome to Chiron’s Crucible! I'm Brad Gorfein, a non-traditional practitioner with over a decade of experience. I take an integrated modalities approach offering holistic, person-centered services that consider the mind, body, and soul. You are the protagonist and author of your own story, and my role is to empower you to pick up the pen in your life. Through a personalized blend of coping skills, trancework, ritual, coaching, and intentionally altering states of consciousness, we can tap into the unconscious and deep parts of you to unleash profound and far-reaching changes.

I have been working with individuals, couples, and families for 36 years. Despite all of your efforts to change your life you may still find yourself unhappy, discouraged, or lost. We often develop ways to distance ourselves from our emotional pain. While these strategies can undoubtedly provide temporary relief, they never address the origin of our underlying pain in any profound way. Meaningful change, in my opinion, comes from honestly addressing and healing the core issues of our lives. As we all know, honestly facing ourselves can be very difficult and takes courage and determination. Often this can be difficult to do alone.

For all the reasons people come to seek help, learning to inhabit one's body more fully, with mindful awareness of the sensations and messages they are attempting to show us, greatly enhances the effectiveness in achieving one's goals. We work to live as fully and genuinely in the present as possible, while effectively communicating our thoughts, feelings and sensations based on knowledge of oneself and other. Our cellular memory brings to light the issues we are challenged with and greatly enhances our ability to sense and make choices about the long-held habit patterns that hurt ourselves and others.

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

Many of us benefit from having a safe space where we can regularly express ourselves. For 14 years I have provided strengths-based Clinical Counseling in a variety of settings, including Cornell University Health Center and Boston University's affiliated Health Center. My passion is to share Integrative, Experiential, and Contemplative methodologies, to help individuals with interrupting unhelpful habit patterns. I specialize in working with Men and with Mental Health Professionals. We may address themes such as Relational and Interpersonal Dynamics and Anxiety-related issues. Licensed in MA and NY.

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.

I believe therapy can offer an opportunity to find clarity, to better understand overwhelming experiences, as well as to grow from difficult times. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with their relationships, dealing with trauma, and coping with stress, anger, depression and anxiety. Regardless of the struggle, I believe the most important piece of therapy is tailoring each individual's therapy to their unique needs in order to assist the growth and change necessary to feel better.

In my practice, individuals who are dealing with mental health concerns will find a supportive, safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings. My approach is person-centered which means that I will meet each client where they are at in the counseling process and help them work toward their individual or relational goals.

Learn to feel better faster. I teach adults and adolescents a process and tools to become their own therapist. Utilizing cognitive behavioral (CBT) & other research based techniques (e.g., ACT, ERP), I teach you how to recover from a spectrum of anxiety, depressive, unwanted habits, & relationship issues. I use the TEAM-CBT framework, which includes providing a secure and safe base to explore your stuck areas, assessing your motivation to change, then teaching as many tailored tools as needed to create lasting change. I proudly contract & train with Feeling Good Institute, whose goal is to help improve lives with effective therapy.
