Sexual Abuse Therapists in Bristol County, RI

My approach is to identify the clients' therapeutic needs with compassion. My goal is to help clients to identify their presenting problem, understand their thoughts and actions, and guide them towards awareness and concrete resolution. For over 10 years, I have provided cognitive behavioral and strength based therapy to adults, adolescents and children. I offer individual, family/couples therapy. I am member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association,

It can be lonely and scary to navigate the darkness we feel after experiencing adversity, trauma, and issues with mental health. People who have experienced grief, loss, abuse, etc. often feel a sense of confusion and disconnection from their own identity. My intention as a therapist specializing in trauma is to meet you where you are and guide you safely through your unique healing journey. My office is a judgement free zone where you can unpack anything. Everybody deserves to find their way back to themselves, their light, their voice, and their wellness. It is an honor and a privilege to sit with you for this process.

I have vast experience in working with adults, families, children and adolscents. I am dedicated to providing people with the support and guidance they need to achieve goals, learn coping mechansims and invest in leading an overall healthy lifestyle for your mind, body and spirit. I have experience working with miltary members/families, ADHD, behavioral issues in children, anxiety, depression, bipolar, life transitions, grief, trauma, Autism and several other areas.

Being a psychotherapist for the past 20 years has and continues to be a journey with people that validates my belief healing and deep change is truly possible. The therapeutic relationship which is a special and sacred connection is by far the most essential ingredient to real shifts in our attachment systems and long held unconscious beliefs about ourselves and the world. My background is mainly centered in Body/Mind experiential psychotherapy. I help people to slow down and bring mindful awareness to their experience. This allows us to study together what’s happening in the here and now.

Current practice is provided 100% through telehealth. I work with preteens, teens, and adults, holding a certification for the treatment of Child and Adolescent Anxiety as well as a certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies. I place high value on providing compassionate, holistic care for each person and family I work with. I will work collaboratively with you and/or your child to uncover strengths and problem solving abilities, broaden self-awareness, increase distress tolerance, and when appropriate to decrease the body's overactive response to anxiety and stress. Together we will identify pathways to reach your therapeutic goals.

The human struggle is a phenomenon that transcends time and cultures. It is a normal part of life to experience periods of sadness, confusion, hardship, and an overall desire for self-betterment. Therapy provides a secure environment for exploring the intricacies of the mind and deriving meaning from life experiences. Beginning can seem overwhelming, but it is a pivotal step in transformation.

Is your child or adolescent struggling with their mental health? Are you a parent looking for new skills to better communicate with your child or manage their behaviors? Are you a young adult struggling with daily life? I specialize in providing empirically-supported interventions to children, adolescents, young adults, and caregivers facing a wide range of concerns. I have expertise in trauma-focused treatment, as well as treatments designed to address substance use and other risk behaviors (e.g., self-harm, suicidal thoughts and behaviors). My approach is always rooted in research, but is flexible to your needs and goals.

Everyone experiences challenging situations in their life. It's your honesty and self-awareness that has signaled you to reach out. You already possess the healing power of emotional, spiritual and social well-being. Reigniting your full potential is a goal that my years of professional counseling can help you achieve. I am honored to be available for our returning American Soldiers. I also enjoy Psychotherapy with individuals of the Transgender population. I have an expertise and soft-spot for Couples who have experienced infidelity problems. I believe that Grief and Loss is represented in many situations and I pride myself in Grief/ Loss Psychotherapy.

My style is directive and conversational, and I work from the stance that people have the ability to heal from within, with external supports. By combining more traditional forms of therapy with artistic expression, my clients have consistently been able to discover and implement coping skills, establish positive thought patterns, and move beyond their challenges. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and also practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), expressive therapies, and harm reduction methods.

When we change the way we think, we change the way we live. Perspective is key. I believe counseling is a space to explore the thoughts that hinder success and then transform them! Reshape the way we’ve learned to communicate with ourselves and with others. I am passionate about helping people develop new beliefs about themselves that support their values. What do you value? What are you currently doing that aligns with your values? What’s getting in the way? How do you overcome all of that? We live in a fast-paced society but counseling allows us to slow down, reflect, and figure out how to achieve our goals.

I have a history working with adults, children, couples and families. I enjoy working with a diverse population. Change is inevitable in life however how one moves through it is up to the individual. Behavior is changeable but only by the person that has the behavior not by his/her partner, parent, friend etc.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Anxious? Are you or someone you love dealing with an addiction and you don't know what to do to help them or yourself? Not quite yourself but you dont't know why?

I am a clinical psychologist in Warren, RI with an expertise in addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, existential challenges, and loss of meaning and purpose. I use my expertise in evidence-based therapies to help clients move beyond symptoms and lead more fulfilling lives. My approach to therapy explores how thoughts, feelings, and behavior shape who we are and what we do. Within this framework, we figure out what you value most in life to assist in guiding you to reach your goals.

I work within a psychotherapy model that is called AEDP. AEDP is an approach to healing that starts with the premise that all symptoms are creative adaptations to painful or traumatic circumstances. We recognize the resilience underlying symptoms, as opposed to viewing symptoms as a pathological. AEDP is grounded in affective neuroscience and in psychotherapy research.

I have 25+ years working in the field of mental health with children, adolescents, and adults. My wide range of experiences provides me with the knowledge and skills to help people through difficult times in their lives and guide them through the challenges, and sometimes, difficult transitions and adjustments. My job is to provide clients with new skills that empower them to look at their issues from a new perspective and empower them to engage in a change process.

I treat individuals ages 18 and up and I believe in an inclusive approach and accept people of all identifiers, races, cultures, religions/beliefs, ethnicities, and cognitive abilities. My primary focus is to tailor your treatment to your individual needs. I offer both long and short term treatment at this time through telehealth.

Hi, I am currently accepting new clients, but please reach out inquire about my availability as it can vary. A large part of my focus is on helping people who are experiencing problems in relationships, but I also see many people who may be struggling with anxiety, panic, or depression for other reasons. For couples, my work often involves healing from affairs, having difficult conversations, helping a couple reconnect again. For Individuals with relational issues, it is often about interrupting and healing from repeated patterns of meeting the wrong person(s), or helping to better cope with the impact of anxiety or depression.

Are you stuck in an old pattern? A way of being in the world or with others that just doesn't work for you? I get it. We can get trapped in addictions (to lots of things) or other unsatisfying patterns. Old hurts, the mistaken beliefs and coping habits we get from those hurts can do that to us. We get trapped from the inside. I'd love to help you out of that trap.
