Therapists in Ithaca, NY
Kristen M Haddad
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My primary therapeutic focus is to help teenagers and adults to develop a stronger sense of self and to develop the coping skills they will need to address issues of anxiety, self esteem and self worth. I use a non-judgmental, trauma informed and holistic approach to help clients develop their ability to self soothe, including using body/movement and grounding techniques. I focus on both personal autonomy and understanding ourselves in relationships, with the goal of moving out of stuck feelings and thoughts to embody a more curious stance of your experiences and the world around you.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AS OF MARCH 22' It is hard to know when to seek help and where to find it. Being willing to try therapy is a big step! I offer one free consult session to help you figure it out. I work with college age students struggling with family, social, and identity stress, as well as anxiety and depression. I also enjoy partnering with children and teens to address depression and anxiety. At times, when a young person has a concrete diagnosis, I can offer short term targeted treatments for OCD, anxiety, impulsivity, organizational skills at home, and social and emotional skills. Resilience is at the core of my work.

Rob Hovey
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSWR
Verified
I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Seeing a therapist -- this is not an easy step you’re considering. Putting your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings in the hands of a stranger takes some courage and a bit of a leap of faith. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, or are in a troubled marriage or relationship, or struggling with issues that have no label, you’re probably feeling stuck. Stuck is when people call a therapist. It’s after they have tried everything: waiting for things to get better, talking to friends or relatives, or reading self-help books.

Ann Dolan
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I accept clients age 60 and over, younger if they are caring for an elder. Aging can bring the release from the worries and stress of youth, bring joy and possibilities with more free time. It can also bring anxiety about the future, depression, loss and grief, a disturbing medical diagnosis. I have almost thirty years of experience helping adults and their caregivers navigate emotional changes, trauma, challenges associated with dementia, changes in relationships, health status, grief and loss. It is my honor to walk with you at this time, and to help you find peace.

What if I told you that you didn’t need to suffer like this?
