Therapists in Newburgh, NY

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and clinician alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

Making the decision to enter into therapy can feel overwhelming and at times, very intimidating for many people. Regardless of how big or small you feel a problem is, we can all use a little help and outside perspective sometimes. As a solution focused therapist, my goal is to collaborate with my clients in helping them identify what they would like to change, and make a plan to do so as quickly as possible. My goal is to assist you in living a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

We all have options. Why not take that option to ask for help when things seem to be out of control? We may experience challenging times which may cause anxiety and depression. I can assist with developing essential social, emotional, behavioral and daily living skills. In my practice, I utilize a variety of evidence based treatment modalities. I work with all age groups and have an extensive background in different roles as a social worker.

I have over 30 years of experience providing psychological interventions with adults and groups. I work best with individuals and couples who are facing an array of life challenges and stresssors. Those who have a sense of where they want to go but who are having difficulty getting there. I provide a safe and nurturing environment in which the therapeutic relationship can grow. A place where obstacles, fears and stressors can be diminished and desires realized.

My ideal client has relationship issues that include communication problems, trust issues, frequent arguing and various family dilemmas. I also perform marriage and couples counseling. I address trauma issues, substance abuse challenges and I provide anger management.

Beginning the process of therapy takes great courage and strength. Sometimes it can be difficult to put into words exactly what you're feeling. I understand and am here to tell you that you've come to the right place. My gentle approach offers space to talk when you're ready, and whether you or your child are having difficulty with transitions, anxiety, depression, or grief, I will be here to help to creatively explore these feelings.

Whether you are coping with depression, loss, overwhelm, identity issues, or everyday stressors, I offer a compassionate approach to help you explore your feelings and move towards healing and balance. Creative expression provides a means of processing and understanding when words are not readily available. As a creative arts therapist, I work with clients to navigate difficult experiences and increase feelings of wellbeing.

As a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years experience, I bring a direct, hands approach to my clinical work. It is imperative for each individual to believe that their unique issues can be resolved to a level that is, at the very least, manageable if not resolved to a high level of satisfaction. I truly believe in the resilience of people and each persons ability to live symptom free utilizing the tools we work on together. I strive to assist people in drawing upon their strengths and believing in themselves to reach their maximum potential.

As a practitioner and director of services at Behavioral Health Services of the Hudson Valley, it is my goal to provide excellent care to those in need of psychotherapy.

"UGH! - I FEEL STUCK! and I have no idea how to get out of this!" - Have you ever felt this way? We all have - and some much longer than they have needed to. Life is full of highs and lows- everyone experiences them! No one can escape them, and we each have our own way of dealing with them. Sometimes the "lows" we experience can leave us feeling helpless, breathless and quite honestly- hopeless.

Hi there! My name is Dominique A. Fickling and I am a Body-Based Psychotherapist, so my eyes are trained to see what our words cannot express...and that's where the magic happens. I have worked with adolescents and families, supported relatives of those engaging in high risk behaviors, and helped those struggling with complex medical diagnoses and their family members as well. I also have experience with older adults dealing with the truths of aging and trying to connect with their present bodies. Within sessions, I often use visualization, movement, talking, and exploring together.

Relationships and social skills are extremely important. If you are dealing with stress, coping or interpersonal challenges, a parent of child with social or behavioral issues or have a family member with relationship struggles, you understand that these issues can interfere with success in life. I help adults, children, parents and families develop the skills essential for increased functioning, productivity, and everyday living. I am a clinician, researcher, and academic consultant specializing in helping people across the developmental lifespan. I provide therapy that emphasizes education and positive, in-the-moment experiential learning. I use CBT and other evidenced based treatments.

I applaud you for your courage in exploring therapy. My specializations are anxiety, depression, addiction, recovery, grief, loss, career counseling, LGBT+ issues, stress management, relationships, divorce, self-esteem, and problem solving. I employ a Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach, emphasizing the reality that what we tell ourselves affects both how we feel and our actions. I also like to integrate the Psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our early experiences affect the now, and a Solution-Focused modality to help clients problem solve. Ultimately, I create a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment.
