Female Therapists in Hurley, NY
I practice mindfulness psychotherapy, which means I will provide you with an array of tools to help you slow down and start addressing the long-overdue feelings and emotions claiming your attention. In a world characterized by speed and long to-do lists, slowdown seems like a luxury not accessible to many. However, the practice of paying attention is doable in small doses. Emotions affect you, but even more when you avoid them. They manifest as anxiety, depression, knots in the stomach, headaches, short temper, a clogged throat, fights with partners or children, insecurity, and the list continues.

My clients often struggle with relationship issues stemming from early childhood trauma; this results in coping mechanisms that work, but may carry a big price tag. They may grapple with sexual abuse, partner violence, sexual orientation and/ or disability related issues. Often, these manifest as substance abuse, cutting, communication problems or self- isolating behaviors. They may have friends and family members who do not truly "see" them, and as a result their own view of self is dim. Other clients are coping with situational anxiety and depression related to Covid, and need to establish safety, structure and hope.

After working as a Gestalt therapist for many years, I have shifted to Life Coaching in the belief that we can step forward in our lives, rather than staying stuck in our old ways, needing to understand in-depth what holds us back. Through awareness and emotion, you will come to understand who you are and what it is you can offer in life, and develop that core to its highest potential. Together we will bring your longing more in line with your goals. "Trust yourself as the path clears before you, and you enjoy walking it!"

Tired of feeling like something’s missing? So many of us have unknowingly disconnected from our Original Nature, the one that is playful, loving, kind, creative and fearless. Some of us remember our true nature as a child and how free and open we felt. Why have we become so disconnected from it? Short answer is: FEAR…fear of failure, loss, rejection, abandonment. All of this fear leads to creating walls/barriers in an attempt to feel safe but it’s just perpetuates more suffering and keeps us feeling disconnected from those we love. Come and explore with me how to remove protective barriers and love authentically!

My goal is to foster a sense of safety for clients to speak openly about who they are and how they feel. I am interested in the way our lives and relationships are touched by our past experiences, our fears, and our desires. I provide individual psychotherapy, couple’s, and solution focused treatment. My style is direct, warm, and (dare I say) funny. I draw from clinical training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family systems theory.

Trauma isn’t what happens to us. It’s what happens inside of us. If I have learned anything from my own pain, my clients' pain, and the failures of our current system of mental health treatment, it’s that we are constantly misunderstanding the role of traumatic experience. Together we will find a therapeutic approach that works for you and your unique experience. In order to create lasting change in our lives, we need more from therapy than a verbal exchange. Over the last ten years, I have studied and employed a variety of experiential methods to address the root causes of trauma and help individuals invite lasting personal growth.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything. It’s hard to know when the anxiety will be over especially living in an anxiety-inducing world that is constantly changing which in turn leads to more anxiety. If this sounds like you, you're not alone!

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
