POMCO Therapists in Pawling, NY

My name is Marilyn Green, LCSW-R, BC-TMH. I have worked in the social work field for over twenty five years. I received my Masters of Social Work degree from Fordham Graduate School of Social Work in 1993. I have been in private practice for more than twenty years. I was awarded "Social 'Worker in the Trenches" of the year award in 2001 from the Hudson Valley Division of NASW.

Welcome! You are in the right place. You may have heard about Arch Psychological from your trusted physician, school staff or a friend. We are so glad that you found us! We are a small, locally owned and operated therapy group serving our community for over 20 years. We look forward to connecting with you and we know that you will feel the difference in our responsiveness and follow-through.

It's hard to think about starting therapy. And maybe it's never worked in the past. And often it can be more difficult when you've experienced what is considered a trauma, even if you don't think of your life that way. You just know you're not happy and haven't been in a long time. Sometimes therapy works when you try one more time. Maybe you just have to be ready.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou Too often we walk through life fearful of telling our real story. But when we tell our story we free ourselves from unhealed wounds. Telling our story helps us to find our strength and recognize our resiliency through difficult times. Emotional well-being is one of the most important parts of an individual's life. Unfortunately it is a part of life that we often forget to take care of. We all deserve to enjoy the lives we live. You are worthy of a life you can enjoy!

Are you feeling unmotivated, sad, moody, or have run into some sort of life obstacle? Are you too shy or socially isolated? Do you worry too much? My goal is to help you unblock obstacles and help you reach your goals at your own pace. We will work together to improve your quality of life. I currently treat adolescents, children, adults, families, as well as couples.

To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

I am a dedicated, licensed clinical social worker with over 28 years of experience. My objective is to help you create solutions to your challenges.

My approach is to not only develop a warm relationship with every client, based on trust, honesty, and understanding; but to also apply treatment methods that work and help improve your quality of life. I believe therapy can help every person reduce negative thoughts and emotions, improve relationships, and increase personal insight and awareness. Most people who are looking for a therapist are searching for an ally and someone who can help them get relief as soon as possible. I work with every client to develop attainable goals and bring about the change you have been looking for.

You will get the benefit of a therapist who has over 30 years experience but who still enjoys the challenge of helping every client explore their issues and find the right solutions and strategies for accomplishing them. I am extremely sensitive to diversity and multi-cultural issues, have dealt with clients from many ethnic groups and speak excellent Spanish. I am also very conversant with workplace issues, having also pursued a corporate career and functioned in that environment.

I am a clinician in both Connecticut and New York. I had extensive clinical experience working as a court appointed Guardian ad Litem, previously working in Therapeutic Foster Care and as a Psychotherapist. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Political Science from Central Connecticut State University and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Saint Joseph. I have worked in various professional settings through direct practice and in social advocacy. I have worked alongside state non-profits in child welfare, as well as school base counseling and outpatient clinics.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

I am a English/Spanish bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the psychotherapy privilege granted by the New York State Office of the Professions. I received my master's degree in Social Work from the Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service and have a doctorate in Social Welfare from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work of Yeshiva University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, women, couples, and families and have dedicated most of my career to working with individuals and families impacted by addiction. I also provide supervision for clinicians working towards licensure.

I am a Diplomate in Clinical Psychology certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology. I'm psychodynamically oriented, while at the same time I am direct and interactive in my approach. My focus is on correcting maladaptive behaviors and identifying the unconscious processes and irrational beliefs which underlie them. My expertise is in helping persons who are depressed, anxious, experiencing loss, having relationship problems and/or concerns about sexual matters. I accept most insurance including Medicare. Office Hours: Tuesday thru Saturday, Morning and Afternoon.

Would you like to rid yourself of constant worry and anxiety? Do you seem to get trapped in your thoughts? Are you struggling with something personal, and are not sure where to turn? Working on yourself and your relationships is a natural part of life. We can collaborate in a warm and safe therapeutic environment to encourage change and promote self awareness. Together we can identify and work on goals while helping you to navigate difficult life issues.

Are you struggling in one or more of these areas…Do you have poor communication with loved ones that result in arguing without resolution? Do you have conflict with your children and don’t know how to help? Are you unhappy in your marriage? Do you have stress? Is your mind over thinking or obsessing? Feeling overwhelmed? Are you up all night? Are you angry? Are you or a loved one dealing with addiction? Are you unhappy with your job? Are you trying to make a change in life and don’t know what to do? Are you feeling depressed? Do you lack motivation? Do you have panic attacks? Are you suffering from anxiety?

My goal is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where my clients can explore their work, relationship and life challenges with a thoughtful and empathic therapist. I listen carefully and am skilled in helping my clients make sense of their current situations, and environmental, cultural, interpersonal and emotional experiences they bring to me.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with postgraduate training who has been in private practice in NYC and Westchester for 22 years. I work with adults, individuals and couples, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and relationship issues. My orientation is psychodynamic but I utilize an eclectic approach and various treatment modalities, depending on the personality of the individual and the issues presented. Whether you are interested in short term focused therapy or a more comprehensive exploratory therapy, I will use my expertise to help you reach your therapeutic goals at a pace that is comfortable for you.

With over 25 years experience, I can help guide you to a fulfilling life. Today’s stressors, anxieties, relationship conflicts and unresolved past traumas can result in hardship. With a safe and nonjudgmental approach, my goal as your therapist is to help you to become more self-aware and in control of your life. We will connect past and present experiences and work together to discover what causes pain, conflicts and triggers. I will teach you how to let go of the past, forgive yourself so that you can be in the present, appreciate who you are and work toward the future to make healthy choices for the balanced life you deserve.

Sudden or longstanding emotional distress can greatly interfere with your ability to enjoy relationships, perform at your job or lead a fulfilling life. You may find yourself easily disappointed in friends and family, feeling lonely even among peers, amotivated, angry or envious of others, unsure of your abilities, or simply anxious or sad. There is relief from these feelings. Together, you and I will explore root causes of your problems, celebrate and reinforce your strengths, and embark on the pathway to lasting change. We will find the relief you seek, create more fulfilling, trusting relationships, and stop the negative patterns.
