Therapists in Webster, NY

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I specialize in body image, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and athletes. I am extremely passionate about helping others strengthen their relationship with themselves, their body, and food. My aim is to help others reconnect with themselves and their intuition to live fully & wholly within their body. My hope for you is that you learn to access your intuition, and develop self-compassion and self-acceptance with the parts of you that are vulnerable, raw, and unedited. I believe that everyone deserves to recognize and believe in their own value.

Hello! I am a therapist with a passion for empowering individuals to unlock their inner potential and achieve emotional well-being. My background in both traditional talk therapy and holistic art therapy provides a unique and integrated approach to healing. I believe in the inner wisdom of each client I work with. My role as a therapist is to facilitate your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth to foster living a more fulfilling and balanced life. Through a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance, I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I recognize the significant challenges and emotions children and young adults face in their daily lives. In sessions, we work on navigating stressors and changes experienced in their family, relationships, school, and self. I explore with my clients to find goals and supports that are most in line with their own priorities and perspectives. We work together on processing the impact of relationships and events, providing skills and validation to help manage their emotions and thoughts. My aim is to provide a reassuring space for clients to reflect on themselves and use their insights to adapt thoughts, behaviors, and communication.

I believe it is a priority as a therapist to recognize the day-to-day differences in each person's experience and adjust to match those needs in sessions. I strive to engage clients in sincere conversations about their thoughts, emotions and experiences to build insight, provide coping skills, and move toward positive change. I focus on bringing a human connection to our discussions, providing a comforting environment and authentic interaction. I enjoy the opportunity at times to bring humor and levity to sessions, while also recognizing the deep vulnerability my clients share as we engage in therapy.

I support individuals and all consensual relationships, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, and any relational concerns to create a meaningful way of being. I hope to work with you to question the expectations placed on you by society to enhance your lived experience. My work with you is person-centered, in that your goals and experiences are essential to our process. I believe deeply that I am guiding, witnessing, and holding space for you to grow. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and am Kink, BDSM, and Poly aware. All your expressions and relationship structures are welcome.

Seeking out therapy is never an easy decision, however it may be an important step in being happier and healthier. Perhaps you are struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, maybe you are experiencing a stressful change in your life, or possibly you have been thinking about seeking out therapy for a long time to address something from your past that you feel is getting in the way of your present. These feelings become overwhelming and seem like they impact every aspect of your life. My philosophy as a therapist is that you are the expert on you.

My passion has always been working with adolescents and young adults who are dealing with life's challenges in the form of mood struggles, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance abuse. If you haven't really been feeling like "you" lately and have struggled with any of these things, we can work together to begin to process these emotions and build the skills to manage them in a more comfortable way. I believe that you have capabilities and strengths within you that we can draw out and build on in order to help you move forward.

I work with women who have been diagnosed with high risk pregnancies, experienced miscarriages and coping with postpartum depression/anxiety and OCD. You may feel alone, like your body has betrayed you or fearing how you will cope with motherhood. Know that you’re not alone, you are not to blame and with help you can get better!

If you are in search of an experienced, skilled and compassionate therapist to assist you in your journey to a place of increased hope, health and peace I welcome you to my private practice. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self esteem, parenting, trauma, or grief/loss I invite you to contact me so that we can talk further about what your hopes and needs are. We all struggle in life at one point or another with a variety of different issues. I would like to provide you with a safe, confidential and comfortable place to come to begin your healing journey.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to do their work in a unique and different way, a way that is easier and quicker than traditional methods, and gives you a tool to use for life. Emotional Freedom Techniuqes (EFT) is evidence based, and can be used anytime, anywhere on anything that is bothering you, once you learn how to apply it to yourself. I have been using EFT since 1998. I also offer distance counseling sessions via VSee.

Do you ever wonder "Am I on the right track here?" "What exactly is the plan?" "Am I moving in the right direction?". If you would like to search for answers to these questions in a safe, non judgmental, empathic environment, then Walk the Path is right for you! Whether it's to manage mental health symptoms, deal with grief or a life transition, or simply have someone to help "sort it all out", your journey can begin here. I will challenge you to work on yourself, challenge you to make changes, challenge you to reach for your goals. And I will walk beside you each step of the way.

I know you are struggling right now. Everything in life feels overwhelming. You've always been a high achiever, been really focused on your goals, and typically have met all of them. Lately, though, nothing ever feels clear. You feel stuck. Your relationships aren't where you'd like them to be. You are stretched too thin. You sometimes even wonder if the life you created is really the life you want. All of it, added up, is causing you to feel worn out, exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel. You just want to feel better and more engaged in the things you love.

I provide video-based therapy for individuals who are looking to build insight in their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in order to create positive growth and change. I am a trauma-informed therapist with a person-centered approach in navigating the very vulnerable process of engaging in self-exploration and discovery. I work with clients to help them tell and redefine the stories of their life and development. We work together on reinterpreting, challenging, and learning new skills to move forward toward their most adaptive futures.

Life as you know it has changed. Whether it be suddenly or over time, everything that once was is no longer. You may be asking yourself; why me, how did this happen, am I the only one who feels this way, what, if anything could I do different, or can I actually feel better? Maybe you are telling yourself; I am all alone in this, no one will understand how I feel, I don't know where to begin and cannot imagine getting past all this. The feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, frustration or being scared are overwhelming. You're just trying to make sense of it all. It is a huge step to seek out support but you are here and not alone.

I believe there are many components that make you who you are. Often we place aspects of ourselves in individual compartments, rejecting the parts we don’t like, or burying them deep in hopes to hide them forever. I want to help you learn to embrace all the parts of yourself. In other words, I want to help you feel comfortable in your own skin!

My belief in the resilience of the human spirit is the source from which I draw my hope - the same hope that I offer to my clients. Whether you are experiencing a life change such as divorce or loss, substance abuse, family conflict, or are simply in need of support as you navigate through one of life's challenges, there is hope for you as well. I have guided and supported many people through these same challenges with compassion, professionalism, and humor.

Only accepting Neurodiverse Couples currently. Hello! You're probably frustrated and lost as to what to try next, sign up for, or do to feel better. You might feel hopeless and shameful that no matter what you try, you can't get back to "you" that you're missing. Often, my clients say that they feel like they just can't seem to find the right type of therapy or connection to a therapist or find actual self care that works. Other times, some people even say past therapy felt invalidating. When we begin to feel burnout, this can impact our relationships and work in such a major way. I am here to bring hope & find easier ways to cope.

Clients often arrive at my door carrying it all on their backs wishing to make sense of their experiences, and their stories. They are uncertain of how they've gotten to be where they are. They wish to know themselves wholly. They wish to live deliberately and to know where they belong. They hope to trust themselves. They crave an authentic connection to self. They seek permission to rest. They long for freedom and to feel empowered when they look in the mirror. They have been through the thick of it, have had to become resilient and feel called to finally come home to themselves with love and gentleness.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my passions as a therapist. First and foremost, I am humanistic in my work. Working in a fast-paced clinic has helped me truly witness the resilience of the human spirit and I value the importance of building a good rapport with my clients. I embrace a strength-based lens in my work which means that I'll focus on what you do well rather than what is wrong or “disordered.” I’m also passionate about collaborating with my clients and I will work with you as a teammate rather than as someone who "knows better." While I'll challenge you, I won't push you to do something you are not ready to do.
