Therapists in Albany, NY

Life can be difficult, and is full off stressful events. You don't have to go through it alone! If you are seeking evidence-based psychotherapy to help you achieve your goals, manage your symptoms effectively, or improve relationship satisfaction, I may be able to help you.

I use gold standard, evidence-based therapies to treat relationship distress, infidelity, sexual health issues, PTSD, chronic pain, and commonly co-occurring disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Being a student-athlete in college comes with pressure, stress, and anxiety. If you’re a young adult navigating life, academics, or athletics, I understand your unique challenges. I hold a Master's of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Auburn University, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to help you overcome obstacles, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology from Bucknell University, where I was also a Women’s Lacrosse team member. I recognize the experiences of student-athletes and provide tailored strategies to help balance academics, athletics, and personal well-being.

Are you struggling with mental health symptoms - anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, intrusive thoughts, isolation, loneliness, grief or general "stress"? The discomfort may be the result of a short-term situational experience. Or it could be something you have struggled with for years. Counseling or psychotherapy can help you reduce or eliminate the discomfort you are experiencing. Just as people at times experience uncomfortable physical health symptoms, they can also experience uncomfortable mental health symptoms. The good news is, you can regain control over your emotions, your thoughts and your life!

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. I provide quality services to all age groups.I have an extensive background in child and adolescent services both doing therapy and supervising other therapists. I have worked extensively with ADHD,learning disabilities,adoptive issues ,trauma ,depression,anxiety and neurological conditions including some rare ones. I believe that effective psychotherapy is best provided in a safe atmosphere of mutual collaboration toward goals that include not only symptom reduction but developing a happier,more fufilled life. Since play is the natural mode of communication for children, I offer a play therapy designed to meet the needs of my child patients.Most children quickly feel comfortable in this setting.Here,they can overcome fears,sadness,anger and learn to better control impulses. I view parents as collaboraters and actively seek their input as they are the best source of knowlege about their child.

You may be thinking, " I can't talk about that. I don't have the strength to work through this pain. No one can handle listening to what I've been going through." Whatever it is, no matter how big or how small, I am here to listen and support you in finding YOUR answers, YOUR strengths and YOUR way of meeting life on YOUR own terms.

Are you feeling anxious and depressed? Having trouble sleeping and having a hard time turning off your anxious thoughts? Are you feeling stuck and trying to figure out what comes next in your life? These feelings can be overwhelming and keep you in limbo. Although your family and friends may be a great support for you, it is sometimes easier to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you don't know intimately. If you are emotionally and physically tired and ready to take the next steps to wellness, let me help.

Are you having difficulty in your relationships and wondering, "how do I make things better?" Are you experiencing a loss of self, feeling confused and/or depressed? Is it difficult to identify your feelings? Have your feelings become too painful to experience on your own? It is only natural to want to avoid feelings that are painful. It is our basic human instinct to avoid anything that is painful especially emotional pain. Unfortunately, avoiding pain results in maladaptive behavior and difficulties within relationships. Avoiding feelings can result in feeling numb and/or loss of self.

Are you feeling stuck and longing for a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world? I specialize in helping individuals like you to explore new realms of consciousness, creativity, and spirituality using Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Brainspotting. Whether it's past trauma, personal/professional stagnation, or a quest for self-connection, I'm here to guide you with compassion and expertise

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” ― Carl R. Rogers. Together we create a safe space to chart your journey to the good life. I have been supporting children, teens, adults, couples and families, from diverse backgrounds, with a variety of behavioral and mental health concerns for 14 years. During the therapy you will discover strengths and a better quality of life. With culturally competent support, all aspects of your culture: age, ethnicity, sexuality, spiritualty are incorporated.

If you find yourself frequently arguing with your partner, if you’re losing connection, if you’re feeling lonely, frustrated or simply poorly treated and don’t know where to turn, I am glad you are here. You may be stuck in unhealthy relationship cycle, where you feel like you are growing apart instead of growing together. If you’re not feeling happy and hope that the relationship can be repaired you may benefit from Couples or Marriage Counseling. As your therapist, I can help you work through resentment, move on from hurts and anger, heal past experiences, resolve conflict and empower you to stand up for yourself in a loving way.

Do you, your boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, or family members disagree about too many things, communication styles, control issues, do you argue too often? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, self-doubt, depression, and anxiety? Perhaps you, a friend or family member drink too much or have a drug problem, financial inequities, impatience, short temper, or anger management issues. Do you feel manipulated or coerced or that your wishes or your feelings are discounted and rejected by others? Are there too many upsets in your own day or do others make your days more complicated?

You are there when everyone needs you but have a hard time asking for or receiving help. You often feel bitter or resentful in close relationships because you have a hard time telling others how you really feel. You are ready to make a change and are looking for someone who sees and understands you. I’m Emily and I’ve been in the mental health field for 8+ years. I have experience working with people from all walks of life to improve their circumstances and live more authentically. I've had my own mental health struggles which helps me better understand and relate to my clients.

PERSONAL THERAPY... most any therapist will do if you only want to talk things out and have someone listen without judging. But if you are looking for more, my post-graduate training and advanced credentials in Rational-Emotive-Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), enable me to teach you how to effectively manage your stress, sleep, unhealthy emotions and self-defeating behaviors--something I've successfully done for myself and thousands of clients for more than 40 years.

Healing is rarely a linear process, and no one should have to address life's many challenges alone. I hope to assist you in navigating these challenges, and I believe this starts with building and maintaining a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to express yourself, free of judgment. I am passionate about empowering others to learn healthy coping and communication skills, manage stress and anxiety, address traumatic experiences, and improve relationships with both oneself and others.
