Elders (65+) Therapists in Tarrytown, NY

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."

When I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I made it a point to meet with patients before reading their chart. As a clinical supervisor of graduate-level social work students, I emphasized the importance of listening without the cloud of a diagnosis and repeated histories. Emotions need to be heard, whether in the form of fierce opinions or protective language. This can happen, in conversation, if the therapist is able to shed or expose known competing biases.
