Therapists in Cold Spring, NY

I offer a safe space for all forms of self-expression for individuals and couples across the sexuality spectrum. Often when we are placed in environments with intense levels of stress, whether this is from relationship issues, anxiety/depression, addiction or other life situations, we hold pain and trauma deep in our bodies. When we are unable to process and release this from our bodies, we become stuck in patterns that are unhealthy. I also specialize in couples therapy, utilizing Gottman Method Techniques as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, to provide a safe space to explore sexual, relational and life challenges.

I believe that finding an affirming therapist shouldn’t be so hard. Hi there! I’m Shelby (they/them), and as someone who identifies within the LGBTQ+ community, I’m unfortunately aware of how challenging it is to find providers who understand our experience as a sexual and gender minority (SGM). Although everyone’s experience is different, I understand what you are going through, how you’re feeling and some thoughts that have crossed your mind. ​Together we’ll problem solve, explore thought patterns and you’ll receive support.

Managing life’s challenges can overwhelm each of us. Whether juggling typical ups and downs or coping with loss, trauma, major upset or crisis, there are times we need compassion, an advocate, a fellow strategist or just someone to listen.

Therapy is a tool designed to help manage life’s challenges and bring clarity, perspective and a sense of well-being.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

I am a licensed psychotherapist studying psychology, psychotherapy, and its intersection with spirituality for almost a decade. We all experience anxiety and depression, and life loses meaning at different times, leaving us feeling stuck and without direction. All these symptoms are our soul's way of calling us back home to ourselves when we are astray too far and/or too long from our true selves. Psychotherapy is one of the first steps to finding our way back home. Only when we are at home within ourselves, we begin to feel at home in the world.

Most people seek my help for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Anxiety can be caused by such things as illness, sexual and/or physical abuse, relationship problems, career disappointments or trauma experienced in childhood. The world generally does not feel safe for someone who is experiencing anxiety. Depression is often a result of feeling powerless to create possibilities for personal growth and happiness. Negative self talk co-exists with depression coloring what one does with a sense of not being good enough. I can help you discover new perspectives and possibilities empowering you to create the life you want.

My clinical approach to therapy is based mainly on CBT and REBT techniques and facilitates mental, emotional and interpersonal shifts.

I believe in direction and collaboration, coupled with warmth, empathy and acceptance, and an openness to change. I welcome clients that are motivated to grow and shift and open to insights and analysis, both self and that imparted by myself.
