Self Esteem Therapists in Cold Spring, NY

Helping change lives is one of the greatest privileges in life. I am a fully licensed clinical mental health counselor providing psychotherapy services. I can assist with those struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, negative thoughts, illness, loss and letting go of old patterns to promote a healthier lifestyle.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 9 years, working with individuals and couples in a clinical setting, as well as private psychotherapy. I believe that every person can reach their potential, strive towards their goals, heal from their past and obtain happiness by learning how to be present in their lives; while learning how to be insightful about oneself and gain empowerment.

As a creative arts therapist, I help people connect words, thoughts, and feelings to their life situations. I am committed to building therapeutic relationships that in turn help the Hudson Valley become a region of health and wellness. My approach offers tools to access relief, develop coping skills, and explore solutions to work through life's challenges.

I provide trauma-focused individual and EMDR therapy to adolescents and adults (ages 16 an up) who struggle with anxiety, depression, panic, trust/abandonment issues, relationship problems including codependency/intimacy dysfunction, self esteem /identity issues and symptoms related to childhood trauma which can include: flashbacks, nightmares/night terrors, sleep distrubance, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli and hypervigilance.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process. I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, sexual issues, sexual and gender identity exploration, health concerns, artistic blockages, addiction, parenting, and fertility issues.

Have you been having trouble finding an open-minded therapist you connect with? Are you going through something that needs attention, and not sure where to seek help? Therapy can help you gain insight into persistent patterns and issues, connect some of the moving parts of your experiences, and guide you toward actualizing your full potential. I provide guidance and support to individuals looking to find answers to problems with relationships, trauma, self-esteem, career stress/burnout, depression/anxiety, and family estrangement.

Life is about transitions! Whether you are struggling with your career, your body, your relationship, grief, caregiving, or trauma; I can help you find the tools to heal and create the life you envision. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I provide non-traditional walking/running therapy to help you manage anxiety, find peace with your body through movement and intuitive eating, and manage the stress of day-to-day life.

Life can be very challenging at times and our usual way of managing doesn't work as effectively as it used to. Our coping skills aren't helping us to feel a sense of control and well-being and we end up feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, we can't sleep well, we under eat or overeat, experience mood changes and possible difficulties managing work, relationships and home life. I am committed to helping you understand what you are going through, developing strategies to make changes, assisting you with stress reduction so that you feel more comfortable within yourself and your life.

Are you challenged by addiction -or recovery from it? If you or a loved one needs help entering or maintaining recovery, Professional support is nearby -- You don’t need to do this alone. Breaking free can be challenging, but it is possible - and beyond getting clean and sober is a life worth living. And it's never too late! Addiction and alcoholism are rapidly growing among Americans over 55 - and so is recovery! As an older professional myself, I know the special values and challenges of embarking on a new and richer life.

I believe that where we came from inevitably affects who we are, but does not need to define or constrain us in perpetuity. I want to understand where you’re coming from and where you want to go. My job is to listen, to try to understand how you see the world, and help you understand what patterns may hold you back. I am warm, humorous, thoughtful and patient. Our time together is yours and nothing is out of bounds. I hope to create a safe space where we can creatively look at your life and try to understand your concerns, doubts, fears and triumphs.

Hello, I'm glad you're here. Acknowledging that you need support is the first step in the therapeutic process. Because of the complex nature of the relationships in our lives, it is often helpful have a neutral person to offer a listening ear, guidance, and to facilitate a process of gaining more insight about who you are and learning self-compassion. I can help you in identifying and regulating uncomfortable emotions, changing negative thoughts and patterns, overcoming challenges, strengthening relationships and utilizing coping skills. I look forward to connecting with you and being present with you on this part of your journey.

Due to high demand we have a waiting list for new clients. Openings expected October 2021. In offices that look like an art studio our licensed mental health therapists can help you improve your relationships, reduce anxiety, and reconnect to your own sense of competence and worth. We help people live happier, better connected, productive lives by combining the arts with proven psychological treatment. We are licensed to practice psychotherapy and creative arts therapies.

I serve individual adults as a CERTIFIED JUNGIAN ANALYST sensitive to injustice and cruelty within one’s society, work setting, family and/or partnership, and especially within one’s own psyche. This covers your concerns about mood, relationships, sex and sexuality, creativity issues, compulsions, coping with change or loss, lack of passion, disorganization, or effects of neglect, abuse or trauma. We would aim at your gaining greater clarity and self-acceptance and living authentically and more fully. We might explore dreams, fantasies and whatever else your soul expresses, applying courage, honesty, humility and imagination.

I believe that in order to be healthy, we need to be able to work, to love, and to play. If you are overwhelmed with anxiety or feelings of being lost, unsure of what you want, feeling less than whole, finding yourself procrastinating when you don't know why, or having repeated difficulty in relationships, I am hopeful you have come to the right place. By looking closely at what may be holding you back, we will be able to understand it with fresh eyes. This can lead you to your goals of relief from suffering, a greater sense of choice, and more freedom to express the self you most want to be.

We are here to help. We have been helping people learn how to make the changes they want since 2008. Feeling lost in life? Increasingly anxious? Relationship woes? Worried about your child or teen? You are not alone. There are other people out here going through the same things too. This is temporary. Please reach out to us. You can call our front desk, email, or reach us through chat or message through our website. A licensed therapist will get back to you. We are in network with most insurance plans, so hopefully that helps you make this important decision easier.

I believe that change is possible...and necessary to reach our goals for a happier life. I imagine you are ready for a change, either in your circumstances, your emotional state, or in patterns and behaviors that keep you stuck. Everyone needs help in order to identify blind spots and see things from a different perspective. I love working with anyone who is ready to take on the challenge of exploring their difficulties and overcoming obstacles that get in the way of feeling successful and satisfied.

We seek therapy when we find ourselves stuck. My role is to help you get unstuck so that you can live a happier and more rewarding life. Working collaboratively, we will identify and explore unrecognized patterns of relationship. Our basic experience of the world is largely determined by the nature of these patterns. I can help you change these patterns, and in this way to discover new possibilities for living.

Have you ever felt misunderstood, judged, confused, or couldn't find the "right" words to express yourself? What about feeling lonely in a relationship? We have all encountered or experienced these feelings at one point in our lives. Let's have a conversation to explore and unpack all that you seek. I specialize in Marriage & Family dynamics as well as individual and relationship issues. Unpacking all related topics, we will explore the concepts of communication, commitment, intimacy, marriage, premarital relations, divorce, non-traditional couples, and much more.
