Self Esteem Therapists in Cherry Valley, NY

My passion is to help others change their lives by restoring clarity, dignity and compassion for themselves and loved ones. I provide a safe, trusting environment where a person can be oneself, be heard and validated without judgment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families in various mental health and educational settings. I work with individuals to help them work toward personal and mental health goals using a variety of therapeutic strategies and strive to find the most effective ones for each client. My experience includes working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, trauma, loss, life changes, and problems in relationships.

Do you want to feel confident in yourself & your relationship with loved ones? Maybe you're a self identified perfectionist or people pleaser, struggle to say no or express your feelings. You try to keep the peace, so you avoid conflict, put others first, & are stuck in a vicious cycle of bottling your emotions only to explode later. Only so much can be swept under the rug before it seeps out in other ways: Often anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Together we will process the past to build a better future. From family to intimate partners, friendships, & most importantly the relationship with yourself, I am here to help.

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." -- Anna Quindlen --- Are you ready to make changes in your life? Are you facing a major transition? Are you feeling stuck? Have you decided it is time to be who you were meant to be? I am here to work as your partner on this exciting, challenging, stressful, life-changing journey.

Clients that want to make changes in their lives but are unsure or frightened of how to do so. I can help you set and reach goals for the future with encouragement, guidance and support. Part of this is understanding why and how you find yourself here. People who struggle with self esteem issues, learning to make healthy choices in their lives. It’s thrilling to watch a person find their voice, and feel good about themselves. People who struggle with addiction and alcoholism and understanding where those issues began, with sobriety. There is no shame in addiction or alcoholism in my practice.

Hi, I'm Tiffany and I’m a Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working in the field of mental health. I utilize many types of evidence based therapies, and specialize in trauma, anxiety, and attachment. I enjoy supporting clients with self-esteem, self-acceptance, symptom/behavior management, personal growth and working with emotions/emotional memories to help get "unstuck." I love my career and love working alongside my clients. I am passionate about mental wellness and I stay up to date on symptoms, treatments and research in order to be the best that I can be for the people I work with.

I use mindfulness, energy psychology, EFT, to relieve stress, heal trauma, anxiety, relationships. We work collaboratively, listening to conflicting parts and needs, discovering how to integrate these parts to fulfill your unique potential, talents, and power, learning to recognize and transform blocks to their fulfillment. With those who wish to explore spiritual aspects, we look at the meaning of experience, including mindfulness meditation, teachings from all religions, radical acceptance, emotional intelligence. We work on many levels, from practical decision making; connecting past and present issues; symptom abatement and coping skills, goal setting; to a spiritual search for the authentic self and its means of expression.

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an abundance of training in anxiety, depression, stress management, marital/relationship issues, self esteem issues and adjustment disorders brought on by a major life change, such as divorce or a new baby. As a therapist I am very curious and seek to understand the client’s worldview, thought process, history, behavioral patterns, stressors and how they all contribute to how the person feels. My clients can expect me to listen to their concerns with a nonjudgmental stance and recommending different strategies to help them with what they are going through.

I recognize and honor the diverse backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences that shape each individual's journey. With specialized expertise in anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, domestic violence, codependency, and relationship dynamics, I bring a compassionate and client-centered approach to my practice. By using a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, talk therapy, and coaching techniques, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

We are all different people with different experiences, needs, and challenges in life. We will partner as a team as I support you in establishing your goals. We will work together to develop best-fit approaches in addressing any emotional issues. I will support you unconditionally as you acquire new tools that boost coping and communication skills, improve self-esteem, and promote changes in unwanted behavior. Therapy can be a source of comfort, a place where you "let go" of stress, and a space that helps you feel energized. The process of therapy can even be "fun" as you strive toward improved mental and emotional well-being.

I offer a nonjudgmental, empathic, and genuine approach with all of my clients. I bring empathy into every interaction I have with every person & I operate from a radical, social justice, abolitionist, anti-oppressive perspective. I incorporate the Liberation Health Framework into my work, paying close attention to how oppression/systems affect everyone's experiences moving through the world. My identity as a queer mixed race woman of color strongly influences my practice and work with clients. I have experience working with QTPOC communities, disenfranchised & marginalized identities, and folks navigating mental health challenges.

I have over 30 years of experience working for the Jewish Board in NYC as a clinician, supervisor, director and senior director with clients ranging in age from 7-85. Additionally i have had a private practice in New Jersey since 2003. I employ an eclectic mix, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral, psychodynamic, supportive and family systems approaches, depending on the age and circumstances of the client.

Do you feel like you are too much, and also not enough? You may have learned to compensate for your challenges by adopting various strategies like masking and people pleasing. You may think other people have similar struggles, but are just better at handling them. When you live that way for a long time it is difficult to know yourself, your needs, your strengths, and even your problems. My affirming approach supports clients learning to see and accept themselves for who they are unconditionally. I trust your internal wisdom and believe you deserve to live fully without exhaustion, shame, guilt, and resentment.

Do you worry a lot, feel stressed, or overwhelmed all the time? Do you experience recurring unpleasant thoughts that impact your perception of the world or yourself? It might be exhausting to have a head full of racing ideas, but via therapy, we can try to free up some mental space. As a therapist, I have had the honor of helping patients who have a wide range of issues, such as stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I'm passionate about assisting people in overcoming the obstacles preventing them from engaging in more constructive self-talk, having a calmer mind, and living their best life.

This is the MOMENT; this is YOUR space to HEAL. I'm a Latinx therapist who strongly believes that we all need/want someone to empower, validate and actively listen to us in an empathic/genuine way. I recognize that opening up about our emotional concerns/pain, and being vulnerable to someone else is not an easy thing to commit to. My main goal is to provide a space, where you feel safe to share your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions. My work is driven by a non-judgmental, compassionate, and integrative approach that will be tailored and focused on your needs and goals as a unique individual for your healing journey.
