Therapists in Dryden, NY

Thank you for your interest, I am currently unable to accept new clients at this time. (May 2022) - - - Now supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult periods. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I've assisted individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, difficulty coping with change, and a variety of other ailments. In addition, I help couples seeking pre-marital therapy, or having difficulty in their current relationship and family. I welcome children and teens at my practice. In addition, I am available for supervision of MFTs to become licensed in NYS.

I support client in connecting with emotions and feelings that may make them feel out of control or hopeless. The journey to healing starts with getting to know these parts in order to move forward in a healthy way.

Any individual, couple, or family making the decision to embark on therapy has made a brave step toward growth and change. Once rapport and safety is established, giving the self permission to be raw and vulnerable is what I strive for with clients. Feeling safe to explore discomfort and navigating different means of communication is at the heart of my work. The approach of curious exploration and demystification helps the individuals, couples and families that I work with resolve stressors related to anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, work and academic influences, family dynamics, and LGBTQ issues.

Sometimes it really makes sense to have a confidential setting to talk about overwhelming feelings or difficult circumstances. I have many years of experience helping people find their strengths in challenging situations. I use techniques that help people reduce depression and anxiety and increase feelings of well-being. I enjoy helping my clients develop skills that they can use independently. Currently, my caseload is full, and I am not taking new clients.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy and coaching to individuals, couples, families and businesses. Everyone has special strengths to deal with life's challenges, relationship troubles and stressors. Psychotherapy can help with these dilemmas. I believe that a genuine client/therapist relationship is vital for counseling to be effective and meaningful. I will help you feel comfortable by providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental atmosphere. In this way, we will work together to help you make the necessary changes to successfully solve problems, strengthen relationships and improve your quality of life.

Our thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, relationships and experiences shape us emotionally, physically and energetically. By gently and compassionately exploring these, both healthy and undermining, new choices become possible. I offer principles from Behavioral Cognitive Therapy including guided meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, cognitive restructuring, progressive relaxation, and mindfulness. When reinforced with practice, these techniques help to increase wellness and reduce suffering and anxiety. You don't need to know the problem or the solution to begin. You only need to want something to change.

I have a few every other weekday AM spots available. + Email please+ Passions of mine include working with women of color, LGBTQ+, transgender individuals, and people with various sexual orientations and relationship structures. I work with a variety of people of all ages who experience depression, anxiety, difficult relationships and trauma/PTSD, amongst others. I am also a certified Trauma Informed CBT therapist.

Our minds and bodies are powerful forces, which are wholly connected. Environmental factors, as well as belief and value systems are deeply rooted in how we present ourselves physically and emotionally. For many, painful life events can fracture the mind/body connection for the sake of survival. Adults may experience anxious and depressive thoughts. Relationships may see increased tension and/or codependent traits. Healing from therapeutic intervention is recognizing unhelpful “parts” and bringing love, appreciation and competency to your internal world.

*I am not able to accept new clients at this time for individual treatment. However, I am accepting people for group therapy. * I enjoy building relationships that facilitate the healing process - moving from just coping everyday to overcoming barriers in relationships, work, school and overall well-being through connection. I have experience working with adults and adolescents with persistent anxiety, depression and difficulty in attachment, often this is due to trauma. Additionally, I enjoy working with adolescents and their families to create relationships that work for all family members.

I look forward to hearing how I can assist you in finding real solutions to the challenges you are facing. If you are feeling stressed, down or a bit disconnected from your emotions please know therapy can help. I work with clients to identify what issues they are seeking to address while working together to implement change. I have over 8 years of experience helping adults, adolescents and families learn techniques to help manage a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, as well as life challenges such as relationship dynamics, parent-child conflict, professional and academic stress.

If you are seeking to alleviate distressing symptoms, resolve a problem, identify and/or reach new goal(s), engage in self exploration, and/or strive for personal growth, therapy can be the safe and encouraging environment supporting you in your process. I am a seasoned psychotherapist ready to help.
