Therapists in Saratoga Springs, NY

Elaine does transpersonal and transformational therapy. Clients experience their unique personal transformation through a mind, body, spiritual approach. It's a heart-centered journey to wellness utilizing holistic therapies. Through hypnosis, art therapy, breathwork, Reiki healing, energy medicine, TFT, and the work of Byron Katie the client is brought back to the essence of who he/she really is. We learn to let go of our tedious stories that only serve to keep us suffering and struggling with life. We meet all of our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with love, acceptance and as gifts of opportunity and portals to healing.

I emphasize counseling that is collaborative with the client. We work as a team to identify strengths, areas needing improvement, goals, and treatment. Sessions are conducted with compassion and a strong preference to understand you and your experiences.

I am here to assist you in learning new ways of thinking and behaving that will increase your quality of life. Life doesn't have to be so hard. Let me assist you in shining some light on a healthier future.

Hi there, welcome! You maybe struggling with turning down the volume on that inner voice that is constantly worrying about the future and not allowing you to be fully present. Maybe you have just experienced a new life transition that have been difficult to navigate or having difficulty with relationships in your life. I specialize in treating individuals struggling with anxiety and work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions and relationship issues. Together we can explore these stressors and learn new ways to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings and allow space for healing, empowerment and self-discovery.

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of New York. I provide individual therapy to adolescent and adult clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach to therapy is integrative and focused on assisting individuals to explore challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that offers the opportunity for change and growth. I view therapy as a collaborative and dynamic process, where my hope is to empower individuals to utilize strengths and develop skills that promote overall wellness.

In my work as a clinical psychologist, my goal is to empower clients to build a life in which individuals and families can thrive. There has never been a more important time than now for us to slow down, check in with ourselves, and gain new perspectives. My intention is for clients to bring healthy new habits back to their families and to gain control over lives that often and understandably feel ‘out-of-control.' In our work together, we will strive to cultivate a mindset that embraces flexibility through life’s unpredictability, as well as the extraordinary power of contentment in the present moment.

I am here to hold space for you, support you, challenge you, and empower you while taking a trauma-informed, non-judgmental, and solution focused approach whether you are struggling with your mental health, relationships, life transitions, decision making, confidence, limiting beliefs, grief, goals or simply the human experience itself.

For over 35 years,I have been providing psychotherapy to adolescents ,adults and families. I recognize that knowing you need help is not the same as knowing what kind of help you need.My role is to facilitate that process with you; to provide the guidance, support and collaboration that will enable us to identify how you can most effectively reach your personal goals and improve your quality of life.As we move through that process, you can rely on me to be honest, forthright and compassionate; to work with you, side by side, as you face the challenges ahead.

OFFERING INDIVIDUAL THERAPY or COUPLES WORK. I provide supportive, action based therapy to facilitate growth, healing, change and transition, and to achieve client goals and objectives. I work with adults and adolescents, accept some insurance plans and also offer a sliding scale option for private pay. I received my Bachelor of Arts, Summa cum laude, in English Literature and Psychology from RSC and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Sage Graduate School.

“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'm a Clinical Psychologist, licensed in the State of New York, and have over 20 years of experience in successfully helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief & loss, and poor self-esteem. I enjoy working with people from a variety of different backgrounds, personal identities, and life circumstances. I work with individuals ages 18+ and have expertise in college student mental health and early adulthood. I take the privilege of working with patients very seriously and am committed to providing a consistent, supportive, and productive therapy experience to each of them, in every session.

Each of us holds within ourselves tremendous potential and an innate knowing of just what we need. I look at many symptoms as a creative, adaptive response to our environment that should be respected as such. Through positive connection with others, we can learn new ways of relating to our bodies, our spirits, and our world. I use a collaborative approach to treatment, with the belief that without your perspective and input, therapy will not be nearly as beneficial.

I work exclusively with couples who are seeking a secure relationship. Relationships are complex for so many reasons, but often not the reasons you think. Together we figure out what gets in the way of you having a relationship that is based on security and true collaboration. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." said Mahatma Gandhi. Many couples I meet in my office lack the solid foundation to build a peaceful, vital relationship. Without a secure base and solid structure, partners can't relax and be themselves. A secure relationship both grounds and develops each partner.

I am an empathic, mature psychotherapist with more than 25 years of experience. My clients and I work together to identify their treatment goals and address their issues through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and family system modalities. My role is to provide a safe nonjudgmental space for clients to develop insight and coping strategies to lead a more fulfilling life.

I provide individual therapy for adults dealing with a wide range of emotional concerns. Most commonly, I help clients work through anxiety, depression, impulsivity, relationship problems, and significant life stressors. I have a passion for helping members of the community achieve healthier and happier lives. I work to help clients strengthen healthy coping skills to safely and successfully manage emotional distress. I strive to create a comfortable, supportive, and encouraging environment that facilitates growth and lasting change.

We all wear many hats in this world, whether it be parent, daughter/son, partner, friend or boss and I can teach you how to do it all and not be burnt out: how to live your life qualitatively, not quantitatively. Together I can help you learn how to be a choice maker and creator of your life-teaching you how to enjoy your whole life. I work with all ages and have 33 years experience as a psychotherapist. My style is conversational, collaborative and direct. I particularly love to help families &/or couples have those hard conversations that they are not talking about.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with various emotional and mental health needs. My career began working with at-risk youth suffering from severe emotional disturbances. I later began working with children and families within their homes to secure a healthy balance of support and resources, while enhancing their sense of self. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. I am open to networking with any provider (i.e., teachers, primary care physicians, psychiatrists,etc.) that are involved in one's care. I believe in helping individuals identify their strengths and incorporating these strengths into their daily lives.
