Female Therapists in Yates County, NY

Welcome! In a tough spot? My approach with clients is engaging and interactive; I am invested in the collaborative process, which I believe is inherent to the therapeutic relationship. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment finding balance between active listening, empathy, support, and behavioral interventions. I will help you identify and better understand choices, ways of thinking about situations, and behavioral patterns that may be getting in the way of living your life to the fullest. We will focus on thought patterns, symptom reduction, improvement in mood and functioning and improved ways of relating to other.

Katie Oberg began her career as a social worker in 2009, and opened her private psychotherapy practice in 2018. Katie loves to help her clients feel as comfortable as possible in session while helping them stay focused on their therapy goals. Her style of therapy is warm and informal while still staying focused on ethics and high-quality care. Katie offers several evidence-based modalities of trauma treatment such as Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She loves to work together with her clients to help them find the unique approach that will ultimately help them heal their trauma.

Relationships are one of the most difficult experiences we bravely engage in as humans. Misunderstandings, inflexible thinking, our own limited ability to engage as well as others limited ability, and trauma, all affect the evolving dynamics of relating to one another. Oh man, it's hard stuff. But we also want and long to be in a relationship. How do we do this simultaneously, avoid and attach? Well, it is a delicate balance and a work of art. I can help you explore the dance of relationships with your partner, family, or children.

Hello! I’m happy to hear that you are here and taking the first step to begin/continue your journey of personal growth and healing. Life is a journey; sometimes you can travel alone, but there are times when you could use someone to walk with you along that journey and help you reach your goals. As your multicultural competent therapist, I am here to support, empower, and guide you towards that more positive + joyful life experience. I work with clients who are looking to take a deeper look at emotional and behavioral patterns, better understand their emotional needs, and build emotional resilience to create a meaningful life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Nazareth College with my master's in social work in 2013. I have served in the human service field for 10+ years in a number of different settings from schools to hospitals and public non-for-profit agencies.  In 2020 I became certified in Perinatal Mental Health. During my own motherhood journey, I felt pulled to find a way to support other moms in their journey. Motherhood is complex and complicated, and women deserve to feel like there is someone in their corner.

Do you and your partner struggle to communicate with each other? Do you find yourself wishing that your partner truly heard you? Relationship therapy may provide the answers you seek. I offer an environment that is supportive to recovering the relationship that you and your partner desire. My goal is to work with you in a way that feels respectful, challenging and nurturing. I already believe that you have what it takes to bring positive change to your relationship.

I'm here to support clients who are looking to strengthen their mental health, relationships, and adaptability. Every day we face challenges and stress; whether it is neurobiologically based, interpersonal, a trauma response, or the result of systemic stressors of an unjust society. While I use a variety of approaches and techniques based on client needs, my foundation is person centered. You deserve a safe, nonjudgmental space to break down or build back up. I believe my clients have all the answers within them and are capable of great things. My role is to use my education, training, and empathy to help you reach your goals.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and my role in the therapeutic relationship is to help you achieve your goals. Recognizing that each individual is unique, my approach to therapy is individualized based on each person's needs.
