In Person Therapists in Peekskill, NY
Individual and couples sessions are either in person or online, within NY state.
Our thoughts, beliefs and bodies reflect our emotional struggles. We often come to therapy when old ways of coping aren't working anymore- when we long for comfort, relief, or more authentic and deeper connections in our relationships. The whole person needs to be addressed in times of crisis, transition and loss. Healing is a word derived from the German hailjan- “to make whole.” I work with a holistic, acceptance-based and contemplative approach to psychotherapy. Practicing self-compassion and self- acceptance lead to less reactivity and more peaceful, integrated and intentional lives.

I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions based on client need/preference.
Seeking therapy is an important step toward improving your quality of life and overall well-being. Many people find themselves putting the needs of others first while their own take a back seat. In therapy, I help clients reconnect with themselves, explore how life circumstances shape thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships, and build tools for meaningful change. Through setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and creating healthier patterns, I support clients in moving from simply managing day to day to living with greater balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

Working with diverse communities in the Rivertowns, women, couples, students and people of all ages are my specialties. I believe in a warm, compassionate and professional approach to counseling where client and counselor are able to work together. Assessing the strengths of each individual, and helping that person achieve their life goals despite the many obstacles in their way, or the losses they may be suffering is what I strive for as a therapist. As Carl Rogers says best "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

Are you looking to heal your mind, body, AND spirit? Do you find yourself drawn to plant medicine, sound healing, meditation, astrology, or tarot? If so, I might be the right therapist for you.

I see a range of adults, from women navigating life transitions to freelance artists and fellow healers (ranging from therapists & bodyworkers to energy healers & astrologers). The common factor is that they are looking to slow down. In a world of quick fixes, let’s focus instead on soul-level healing.

I offer 50-minute sessions online and in-person (Cold Spring, NY).
When someone asks how you are, you say "I'm fine," even when you're not, because you're expected to hold it all together for everyone else in your life.
At work, at home, and in your community, you're the strong one. The one people count on. But inside? You're exhausted and disconnected. Sometimes you even feel like you're watching your life happen instead of actually living it.
You know something needs to change, but you don't know where to start.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
