Anxiety Therapists in Wilton, NY

For over 35 years,I have been helping adolescents ,adults and families. I realize 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 help 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.

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.

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.

Life can present with many unexpected challenges and stressors. My passion is to help children, adolescents, adults and families to heal from their personal struggles. I have over thirteen years clinical experience helping people with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief/loss, trouble at work/school, and relationship issues. We will work together to identify your specific needs and goals in an open, non-judgmental, and safe therapy setting. With therapeutic support, you can start the process of feeling better about yourself and your life.

I am a New York State licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked in the mental health field in various capacities for the past 16 years. I have experience working with individuals of all ages including, children, adults, couples and families with a wide variety of challenges and symptoms. I have knowledge and experience working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, communication skills, self-empowerment, parenting issues, substance abuse, legal concerns, grief and loss, health related challenges, and child welfare. I also have significant background in coordinating care with community-based resources.

How are grief and loss defined? If we broaden the boundaries, the definition can include not only death, but also adjustment to divorce, job loss, abuse, addiction, and estrangement . Individuals can be left feeling anchorless and disconnected. Unprocessed grief and trauma has the potential to lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and vulnerability. I offer a collaborative approach that is attuned to the client’s presenting needs. In this focused work, I facilitate continuing bonds with a loved one or assist in the adjustment to a loss or transition.

Hello ! So glad you are taking that first step towards a positive change and considering therapy. A good connection with whomever you decide to work with is crucial for the best outcome. I have always been passionate and committed to supporting my clients who are struggling with current and past challenges. Together, we explore the patterns and mindsets that are holding you back from living a healthier and more peaceful life. I offer a caring and nonjudgemental approach to talk through concerns in a safe space.

Psychotherapy, to me, is about getting to know and accept yourself, gaining an understanding of how you relate to yourself and the world around you, learning better ways to manage emotions and healing past traumas in order to live your happiest, healthiest life. I use a combination of traditional talk therapy and various expressive modalities to help clients reach their healing goals.

My eclectic practice borrows from Cognitive Behavioral and Strength Based approaches as well as the traditions of Mindfulness to develop a treatment approach that best fits the needs of each client. I provide a safe, nurturing environment in which children and adolescents feel comfortable in accepting help in negotiating difficulties they encounter. Whether it is a specific fear, more generalized worries, concerns with self-esteem or sadness; strategies are introduced creatively and with humor, always focusing on highlighting unique strengths of children and their families and creating structures within families that encourage the development of positive behavior and growth.
