Addiction Therapists in Yorkville, New York, NY

Vitality, growth, love, empathy, and meaning are essential to healthy functioning and a sense of well-being. We often create these gratifying experiences through an authentic and positive connection with ourselves and others. However, sometimes these connections are hindered due to difficult life experiences, such as loss of a loved one, career and life transitions, addiction , divorce, or relationship concerns. These struggles can lead to feeling down, isolated, anxious, and confused about how to move forward. I am here to help.
