Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Saint James, NY

Understanding one's vulnerabilities, emotions, relationships fears and needs is what therapy is about. I work with individuals and couples with a range of presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, childhood and relationship issues. My style is to actively engage you in a non-judgmental way, always sensitive to creating an environment of trust in our sessions. Therapy helps you look at yourself through a different lens so that you can understand the conflicts and distress that present in your life, and use that insight to change them.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership that functions optimally when there is a positive, working alliance and authentic attachment between a client and therapist. Goals must be focused and must reflect the issues that are most compelling for the client. A therapist should be nonjudgmental, empathetic and present. Respect for each client's journey supports the development of trust and connection, allowing each client to develop a new and empowering narrative that helps them to reshape their lives.

Tara Daniels, LMSW, serves in NYS through Telehealth Care. She serves many diverse needs with many treatment modalities using a generalist approach.

Someone ready and willing to engage in the therapeutic process, motivated to make positive changes in their life, and committed to their personal growth and well-being.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes and you do not have to struggle alone. You have strengths within you that we can build upon. I have skills based on years of study and experience that I will share with you. We will work together to resolve your current challenges while we examine patterns of thinking and behavior in order to avoid or quickly resolve future stumbling blocks. In an atmosphere of trust, comfort and acceptance, we can achieve lasting solutions. I work with children ages 12 through 19, as well as adults; specializing in anxiety, stress reduction, life coaching, adjustment disorders, couples and parent counseling.

Are you having problems feeling calm, happy and satisfied? Are issues related to anxiety, self esteem, ADHD, family discord or a history of trauma getting in your way of contentment? Together we can work through difficult emotions and situations, life transitions, relationship challenges, and issues involving bereavement, parenting, and adoption. You can become a happier, more fulfilled version of yourself, and I can help!

Struggling in your relationship? Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of infidelity, facing communication, trust and intimacy issues, feeling like your partner doesn't understand you, or dealing with a divorce, we' re here! What sets us apart is our structured approach. We'll start with weekly sessions, then transition to biweekly, and eventually monthly meetings. Plus, after your "graduation", we'll have two check-ins per year to ensure those healthy habits stick. In between sessions, we'll assign tasks to work on your relationship, and you'll have access to us outside of appointments for advice and support.

Hello Friend, I support teens & adults (ages 13-60) who have difficulties. I aim to help people understand these issues & guide them to make a plan that fits. They unlock their potential in areas of life they feel are important: friends, family, work, school, etc. I'm client-focused & use science-based methods. Towards the bottom of my profile, I describe difficulties & symptoms that I treat. I welcome anyone who wants help, even if they aren't sure what they need or what to do. We can figure it out together. I am proud to support clients of all backgrounds: culturally, neurodivergent (ASD), parents, LGBTQIA+ community, etc.

Letting yourself be vulnerable with a stranger can be scary and I commend you for taking the first step. Using a client-centered approach, my goal is to help you explore, set and reach achievable goals by focusing on strengths and increasing your self awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I aim to provide each of my client's with an environment thats safe and supportive while encouraging growth, and self-efficacy.

x- I will be accepting new clients in May -x I am focusing on the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress, relationship problems, insomnia, and chronic pain. These challenging experiences can interfere with our ability to live a meaningful life, but they can also lead to mastery, resiliency, and growth once we make the commitment to act in congruence with our personal values despite the obstacles. I will provide a supportive environment in which you can identify/clarify your values, develop short- and long-term treatment goals, and access the skills to achieve them.
