Therapists in Putnam County, NY

Hey there! I am Deanna, a trauma informed, holistic psychotherapist practicing in the state of New York. Humans are unique, and I make it a priority to make therapy client centered and tailored to you. I have extensive experience working with grief, chronic PTSD and acute PTSD, anxiety, and addictions including sexual addiction. I also work extensively with perfectionism, care giver burn out, traumatic/sudden loss, anticipatory grief and folks raised in non-traditional families. This includes but is not limited to adoptees and people raised by their grandparents. In my work I utilize EMDR, IFS, DBT and CBT.

People often ask me "How do you listen to people's problems all day?" I am inspired by the people I meet who often have difficult backgrounds and lives, yet are willing to work hard to grow and be happy, healthy, human beings. I am touched by their commitment and dedication to work on themselves instead of being angry, miserable people. What more important investment is there than investing time and energy in oneself?

Have dedicated my life in accompanying people on their voyages of self-exploration to reach inner peace. Through interweaving traditional approaches with psycho-spiritual disciplines, the following theories and modalities serve as the foundation for my work: the Voice Dialogue Method, Quantum Physics theory, Hypnotherapy, Art, Movement, Dream Work and Energetics. Please tune in to my podcast called Awareness Sucks to familiarize yourself with my approach.

My name is David, and I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified case manager with 14 years of experience in the medical and mental health field. I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Stony Brook University, specializing in healthcare, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University at Albany, where I graduated with high honors from the School of Social Welfare. Throughout my career, I have devoted myself to helping clients overcome life's struggles in the healthcare and mental health industry. I am licensed in NY, FL and NJ.

I know how difficult it can be to open up to someone about your most vulnerable, hidden self. This step is often the hardest to take, and although taking it means facing thoughts and feelings you'd rather not, it also means creating a path of healing for yourself. I'll strive to provide you with a safe, therapeutic space filled with compassion and empathy to support you while we take on this challenge. Together, we will begin to explore the feelings and experiences that cause you pain.

I'm a mature and experienced clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst who has been practicing psychotherapy for over forty years. I'm a dedicated and responsive professional, and insightful and empathetic listener. My training and clinical experience will allow us to work together to understand and address your concerns and distress. I'm easy to talk with: respectful, attentive, and interpersonally engaged and receptive. While sensitive and compassionate, I'm also direct and down to earth. In my many years of working with people, I have experience with the full range of issues that bring people to psychotherapy.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and major life transitions. I draw from my psychodynamic training at NYU, postgraduate psychoanalytic certification, and two decades of experience to help you relieve distress, increase resilience, and improve your quality of life.

I work with individuals to help them increase self-awareness and lead happier lives. My unique background makes me different than most therapists. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have a PhD in Philosophy. As a therapist and life coach, I help individuals struggling in particular with relationships, codependency, sexual compulsivity, and substance/alcohol abuse. I also work with adult children of alcoholics, those who grew up in families where emotional chaos and parental addiction may affect their current lives. Unrecognized trauma can result from this. In addition, I work with gay individuals and couples.

If you are currently reading my profile, there are probably issues that are causing problems in your life. I have over 25 years of experience, working with adults, couples, adolescents and families. I am an excellent listener and can help with many problems including depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma, grief/loss, relationship issues, substance abuse and codependency. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and family systems. I strive to create a relaxed relationship where my patients can feel comfortable examining their lives and subsequently find helpful ways to alleviate their problems.

I work with people who struggle with anxiety and/or depression; families; workplace issues; co-dependency; compulsive sexual behavior and love or relationship addiction; Seasonal Affective Disorder. I also work with adolescents and people who are struggling with grief and loss. As of April 1, 2023, I will be offering Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.

Are there people in your life that you love but are draining you? Is it difficult to get your needs met if your needs are in conflict with others? Do you sometimes feel anxious or depressed because you feel so unappreciated and alone? Do you value the approval of others more than you value yourself? You are not alone. I will be there every step of the way to help you to feel that you and your feelings are just as important as everyone else. I have successfully helped so many people like you over the last 35 years.

Therapy is not a "one size fits all." Each person is unique, individual, autonomous and complex, we all face situations in a particular way, and that is why when going to a professional, care must be personalized for each individual.

Anxiety, insecurity, anger and depression get in the way of success and even more than that - they get in the way of you being happy with yourself and your life. Freeing yourself of these issues gives you the opportunity to experience life in a new way that improves your life, relationships, and your performance at work/school. Therapy can help you with these issues and you can begin to enjoy life again.

Working together as hardy co-explorers, we will probe where you are in life, where you want to go and how best to get you there. You are the captain of your fate and the master of your soul; my goal is to provide you with a space in which you are free to understand and embrace yourself as captain and master, empowering you to make healthier life choices.
