Teletherapy for Saratoga County, NY

Are you struggling with work, communication, relationships, parenting or challenges with children? We are easy to share with counselors who enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and families. We strive to help develop skills, manage new problems and improve ongoing struggles. We aim to help adults, children or teens become more successful, peaceful, happy and connected. With 30 years of counseling experience and 40 years of prior business experience, we will work in a caring, direct and positive way. If desired, we also provide Christian counseling that is Biblically based.

Do you struggle with overthinking, anxiety you can't resolve, or managing the every day stressors of life? Are you trying to figure out how to be the best parent, spouse, step-parent, etc. you can be, but never feel good enough? Are you a step-parent who cannot seem to keep your peace with your spouse, step-child, bio parent, or others involved? I am here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years experience servicing adolescents, adults and families. My experience includes treatments for depression, anxiety, relational issues, anger management, substance abuse, women's issues, sexual and domestic violence as well as parenting issues.

If anxiety, stress or lack of motivation is holding you back or making everyday life more difficult, please reach out to me for a free consultation. Together, my clients and I work to "make friends with our anxiety." This means, rather than seeing anxiety and stress as our enemy, we listen to what it's trying to tell us and learn to use it to our benefit. Rather than struggling against our feelings, our work will focus on understanding them and using them to help us achieve our goals and live a full life. I also specialize in relationship/family issues, ADHD, trauma, and college mental health.

Are you struggling with everyday life stressors? Do you feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed in life? Do you feel disconnected from family and friends or just need help with handling your problems? Are you one of the many who suffer from a lack of self esteem and confidence, or are you someone who would like to build stronger boundaries with others and learn how to become more assertive? Whatever you are experiencing, I can help you move past your struggles and guide you on a new path of healing. We will work together to challenge the thoughts, beliefs and patterns that prevent you from moving forward.

Do you have low energy but you're not sure why? Do you live in a constant state of worry? Or perhaps you make goals for yourself but have difficulty reaching them. Maybe relationship issues? You want to solve these problems and to feel better, but it seems like nothing that you try works, at least not for long. I want to help. Together we will work to find what is blocking your success and find new strategies that work for you. You may be dealing with an undiagnosed mental health issue, or unrealized internal conflicts that need to be resolved. Uncovering these things take the help of a mental health professional.

Dr. Magnell is dedicated to providing spiritual direction and life coaching to women seeking empowerment, grounding, and change.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?Trust that your within you lies personal power. You may not have fully tapped into that yet and that is okay. Self compassion goes a long way and we are all met with challenges we don’t understand. It can be very confusing. I say “the deeper the cut, the deeper the ability to start healing.” The key to unlocking our potential is to be open to seeing life in a different lens. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helps you reprogram your brain and alter thought patterns. When you change your thoughts, you change your world.

I utilize a person-centered, non-pathological approach to therapy. Internal Family Systems is my preferred modality as it views the struggles of humankind, as just that, struggles and not pathology. It also honors the healer inside of each of us, believing that each person not only has the capacity to heal but has a Self that is designed to do just that. In my approach, IFS is used as a road map and we journey together to the destinations you identify. You will do some hard, challenging, and courageous work but you will not do it alone; I will honor all your parts and hold a steady light for you as you journey through.

Are you tired of dealing with your challenges on your own? We all get stuck sometimes. A professional perspective might be just what you need to bring a breakthrough. We want to extend hope to you in your situation. Whatever your difficulty, we are confident that you will feel at ease and well cared-for by one of our six compassionate and competent therapists. No matter what season you're in, we're here to help!

I believe that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, I seek to meet clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, I focus on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can.

I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal depression/anxiety. I am certified in perinatal mental health therapy and have extensive experience working with people experiencing challenging life transitions involving pregnancy and parenting. My goal is to help you stabilize your mood, develop and improve coping skills, and help enhance your relationships. I hope to help you improve your mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

I specialize helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, going to college, and family dynamics. I utilize evidence-based therapy modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), family based treatment (FBT) for eating disorders, motivational interviewing (MI), and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT).

If you find yourself frequently arguing with your partner, if you’re losing connection, if you’re feeling lonely, frustrated or simply poorly treated and don’t know where to turn, I am glad you are here. You may be stuck in unhealthy relationship cycle, where you feel like you are growing apart instead of growing together. If you’re not feeling happy and hope that the relationship can be repaired you may benefit from Couples or Marriage Counseling. As your therapist, I can help you work through resentment, move on from hurts and anger, heal past experiences, resolve conflict and empower you to stand up for yourself in a loving way.

My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

Our brain is an organ that plays a significant role in how the rest of our body functions. Like any other organ, if something doesn’t feel right or it is exposed to trauma or an injury, we should give more attention to its care. It can sometimes be challenging to clearly define what we are feeling or why we respond the way we do. Opening up to another person can be difficult and meeting the right therapist is very important to your mental and emotional health. You should feel comfortable and supported.
