Currently Accepting New Clients. Life can be unpredictable, for better or for worse, and sometimes a little extra support is needed to get by. At especially challenging times, I offer warmth and compassion, in an effort to assure clients that they do not walk alone.

Do you identify as a BIPOC woman who is feeling depleted from dealing with effects of systemic racism or ongoing micro-aggressions, and it's been affecting how you feel about yourself? Have you recently lost a loved one to suicide or homicide and feel alone in your pain?
Robert Socherman
Psychologist, PhD

I think of my approach to helping people as a collaborative and educational one. Most people who come in for therapy are wanting to make a change in their lives but are struggling in some manor. I feel that the best way to implement change is through one's thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors-this kind of approach is known as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT).
A person needs to welcome the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind - These are the cognitive and behavioral aspects of CBT.
Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, CAMS
Verified
Sometimes in life we have to face rough situations. Whether it's peer stress, transitions, negative interactions, poor choices, or the growing pains of life. I work with many people who have experienced abuse, neglect, and trauma. Many of these people seek a more positive life and look for growth. Through collaboration I assist individuals, and families in learning how to cope, and grow from pain and suffering. I strive to work with people and their families in facilitating growth towards more positive interactions, and a positive outlook on life.

I believe we all have the capacity to live full, rewarding lives, and that counseling can help to unlock that potential. If life's many challenges are overwhelming you or making you feel "stuck," I can provide a uniquely safe space to explore your difficult feelings and experiences. That space has the power to be tremendously healing--and within it, I can help you discover new ways of relating to your thoughts, your feelings and the world around you.

Accepting new clients- Thank you for exploring your options for support. People who seek out therapy want something in their lives to change. Maybe it's hard to describe how or what you want to change, but you know that you need support as you navigate your choices. Maybe you are struggling with relationship patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe the pandemic has increased your anxiety and made life harder? It takes courage to ask for help. Your feelings and goals are valid.

I have over 30 years of clinical experience as a therapist. I have helped hundreds of individuals and couples to a successful resolution of their problems. My experience has taught me that not everyone benefits from the same approach. My style is interactive, dynamic and supportive. I listen carefully to support strengths and often teach by the questions I ask. I have in-depth training in gestalt, family systems, psychodynamic and the newer relational models of therapy. Over the years I have developed many strategies to help individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. Call me for more information.
Jana Kreofsky
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
I believe each person has the power and knowledge within them to move towards increased wellness and healing. Due to many factors we can lose track of our best selves, feel off course and get overwhelmed. Some of these factors include trauma, chronic stress, oppression, loss, abuse, lack of healthy modeling, low self esteem, reliance on substances and self-medicating, and much more. No matter how we get off course, therapy is a powerful tool that can help us understand how we have come to this specific place in our lives, as well as help us to look at where we want to go and who we want to become moving forward.
Nicki Beiderman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC

It takes a lot of courage to call a therapist you don't know. If you have been in therapy before you know how difficult it can be to tell your story again to a complete stranger. If you haven't been in therapy before you wonder how do you begin to trust someone even if they are a professional.
I can help you on your journey. I am a committed, caring psychotherapist who has worked with all kinds of emotional problems. I am ready to help you if you are ready to begin this important work.

Cassandra Mitchell
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My approach to therapy is based on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing and growth. As we adapt to life's challenges, however, we sometimes get stuck in long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, or relating to others that ultimately limit our growth and leave us feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or fearful. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify, understand, and change these patterns that keep them feeling stuck so that they can to move towards a life that is more passionate, creative, and fulfilling.

Currently wait-listing Medicare and Trillium OHP clients. The effects of trauma can undermine our natural ability to experience joy, peace and happiness in our lives, and it's not our fault! Traumatic experiences destroy trust and separate us from ourselves, leaving us in pain and fear. Using a wellness-focused, strengths-based, skill building, problem solving-approach, my work is to support your journey in wellness in life's difficult times and situations of grief, loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, aging, life transitions, chronic pain, chronic illness, cultural/ethnic diversity injustice, and meaning of life questions.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MA, QMHP, NCC

Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues can show up in our relationships. Relationships are key to a healthy psyche - those with ourselves, friends, family, co-workers, and partners. Often times, one or more of those relationships aren't going how we want them to, potentially because of underlying issues in ourselves, or in them. I can help you address the underlying causes so that your life feels more joyful, smooth, and aligned with your desires. I know I can help you because I've helped heal hundreds experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship issues, including myself.

Thank you for considering my services. Life can hurt. Set-backs, emotional pain, social awkwardness, fear of anger, shame or rejection can block that which we desire most-loving nurturing relationships, affirmation from others, and self-valuing. I have been helping individuals and couples better achieve those desires for 40+ years. I bring a long history of a variety of skills to a mutually created process.
