Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Fort Edward, NY

Move through your changing landscape with ease, joy and meaning. The Second Half of Life can be a time of great transition and uncertainty that may leave us anxious, depressed, grieving, isolated, or in pain. With aging comes many changes and challenges AND this time of turbulence holds vast opportunities for growth and healing. I emphasize holistic care focusing on the mind, body and soul using evidence-based approaches and creativity.

I have a particular interest in working with parents of special needs children who are seeking support and direction as they navigate the unique parenting challenges they face.

My approach towards helping you is to create a supportive space to bring you comfort to your current experiences.I believe it's necessary to accept where you are and to understand where you want to go.

We all wear many hats in this world, whether it be parent, daughter/son, partner, friend or boss and I can teach you how to do it all and not be burnt out: how to live your life qualitatively, not quantitatively. Together I can help you learn how to be a choice maker and creator of your life-teaching you how to enjoy your whole life. I work with all ages and have 33 years experience as a psychotherapist. My style is conversational, collaborative and direct. I particularly love to help families &/or couples have those hard conversations that they are not talking about.

I am a Holistic Counselor, and recognize the importance of working with each client as an entire human being. Life experiences, the effects of presenting symptoms and issues on the mind and body, as well as the healing potential of the human spirit are all taken into consideration for assessment and treatment purposes. My main goals are to help optimize each individual's overall well-being, and to strengthen the assets that already lie within.

Regardless of the problem or issue, the ideal client engages in a partnership with me to explore their world and develop a plan for becoming the best version of themselves. I am the bridge to those goals. You are the wisest person in this partnership. You've lived your life. My responsibility is to explore your lived experiences deeply and thoroughly without judgement and facilitate you developing a comprehension of the events in your life that makes sense. Life sometimes dictates the terms in big ways: illness, death, something catastrophic. Issues can arise in coping with the tasks of daily life, your moods, thoughts or feelings.

I have a motto I try to live by which is "Pain is real, suffering is optional". I try to frame this concept with every new person I see. We all get pain, no one gets a pass on this. Some pain is of our own doing. Other pain just comes to us without doing anything. I try to help people recognize what pain they may be harboring and help them learn how to turn down the intensity of their suffering. I love to see individuals discover new ways of coping, thinking, and behaving to improve and most importantly empower themselves.

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person needs to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you need expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.

I have over 20 years experience providing individual and couples therapy in the New York Metro area and now here in the Central NY area.

I teach my clients to build upon their current strengths, develop new skills, increase awareness and create positive growth to improve their relationships,communication styles, self-worth and to increase their overall coping skills for long term results.

Welcome! In my therapy practice I provide a comfortable, safe and confidential space for my clients to get support, learn, heal and grow. It is my experience that the best environment for emotional healing and individual growth is an environment where the individual feels a high level of trust and support. My goal is to provide that environment to each and every unique person who I see in my practice. I am experienced in treating panic, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, ADHD, self-esteem issues, LBGTQ related concerns, as well as family/relationship issues.

I have chosen not to work with children or couples yet offer individual psychotherapy to adults over 21 as well as seniors.

I am willing to assite clients using various techniques to assist them in meeting their goals.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.
