Stress Therapists in Burdett, NY

Accepting New Clients: Do you find yourself longing for change? You may feel disconnected from what brings you joy or your sense of purpose. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and the stresses that go with it and you just want to feel calm and centered again. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression and feel like it is time to get help. When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed/anxious it can make it hard to feel like a good partner, spouse, parent, employee, family member or friend. When we are in the midst of an emotional storm it can be difficult to find the path out by ourselves.

At times you can feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed by the events of your life. I provide a safe and caring space where you can explore these feelings. I bring humor, respect and a spirit of collaboration into our work together. I work with adults, college and graduate students. Some common issues I work with include: stress, career and academic issues, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, parenting challenges, attachment styles and trauma. Our goal together is to empower you and develop skills you can take with you on your journey through life.

Hello and welcome to my Psychology Today page! My name is Michael Zachmann, and I am a psychotherapist who has experience working with adults, young adults, and teens, supporting them through change, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I like to take a strengths-based approach that focuses on an individual's innate power to change. I strive to create a judgment-free and comfortable environment for all my clients. I believe in the power of therapy to help people navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop coping strategies.

Hi, My name is Adam Scholl, LCSW-R and I own a MH clinic in downtown Ithaca. Tompkins Community Counseling is a small, family owned mental health clinic located in downtown Ithaca. All of our clinicians have over 25 years experience and each offers a variety of specialties to treat various mental health concerns. We are currently accepting new referrals. We are in-network with Aetna insurance, and we submit claims for our clients with other insurance policies. We do this because it helps support our mission of removing barriers between you and counseling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Are relationship concerns getting you down? Are you troubled by old hurts and memories that don't seem to heal? Is your relationship feeling rocky? We all need to feel seen and understood, as we walk this difficult road of life. With over 25+ years of experience, I have helped people from many walks of life. All are welcome. LGBTQ+ friendly!

To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear. We all have times when we need extra support to work through life's challenges. Whether it be mental health concerns, trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, life transitions, family relations, work stressors, or any other difficult circumstance; you don't have to walk this journey alone. Together we will work to empower you to put your needs first and take steps to reach your goals. Everyone has a story and is worthy of space to tell it, and together we will honor, heal, and learn from your experiences.

I offer a highly personalized approach to help you achieve the growth you seek. In a therapeutic alliance, I’ll assist you to restore and sustain your well-being, considering all aspects of your life: emotional, relational, occupational, intellectual, physical and spiritual. People I’ve met with say I’m a compassionate and committed therapist who’s helped them achieve the results they wanted. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. Please don’t hesitate to contact me today!

Taking time to sort through your thoughts and feelings with someone safe and very present is one of the greatest gifts to give yourself. I'm here to help you find relief, understand, heal, integrate, and grow. Through warm acceptance, genuine presence, and attuned reflections, I build a trusting partnership. Together in this supportive, emotionally engaged alliance, we create the experiences that deepen your relationship with self and others. In this new self-awareness, I help you reconnect with your innate strengths. Using these capabilities, I will guide you to develop successful skills and coping strategies to reach your goals.

It takes immense courage to embrace therapy; you should be proud of taking this step. There are as many reasons to seek help as there are challenges in life. Perhaps you are noticing recurring tension, pain, or unpleasant sensations in your body? Or are you functioning well at work, but noticing that it’s difficult to connect to a deeper sense of belonging and meaning? Do traumatic memories keep lingering at the surface despite your efforts to put them behind you? Have you already sought help, spent many sessions venting about your worries and traumas, but wound up more frustrated and triggered than you were before?

*I am not accepting new clients at this time.* If you've been feeling disconnected from yourself, struggling to resolve difficult emotional and/or relational experiences, trying to figure out what steps to take next, or looking to cultivate more kindness and care in how you relate to yourself and others, I may be able to help. I am an emotionally focused, mindfulness oriented, experiential therapist. I believe a fair amount of our suffering and confusion stems from living with the anxiety, shame, and defenses that prevent us from experiencing who we really are.

Life happens. At times, our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are much like an unsolved puzzle, causing sadness, frustration, anger, and impulsivity. I provide support in identifying which puzzle pieces are given to us and which ones we create for ourselves. Through therapy, some pieces that don’t fit can be removed and then be replaced with healthy self-enhancing pieces that will create a beautiful picture and a healthy sense of self-esteem.

Update: On Maternity Leave From July 2023- January 2024 Our minds and bodies are powerful forces, which are wholly connected. Environmental factors, as well as belief and value systems are deeply rooted in how we present ourselves physically and emotionally. For many, painful life events can fracture the mind/body connection for the sake of survival. Adults may experience anxious and depressive thoughts. Relationships may see increased tension and/or codependent traits. Healing from therapeutic intervention is recognizing unhelpful “parts” and bringing love, appreciation and competency to your internal world.

As unique individuals, our life journeys take us through many wonderful and unpleasant experiences. Our experiences can result in feelings of displeasure, depression, anxiety, and stress that can impact us individually and our relationships with others. Talk therapy is a non-judgmental atmosphere that can help you express your thoughts and feelings in a welcoming and safe environment. Therapy can help individuals look more closely at the repetitive patterns in their feelings and behaviors and learn through reflection, self-discovery, insight, and how to re-frame and rebuild their lives positively.

Relationships, stress, transitions and self awareness are part of life. I believe that individuals have deep wells of self-knowing and strength, are capable of transcending limiting beliefs to develop positive life skills. I can help to facilitate a process through which you can access your own deepest wisdom and understanding. My practice focus is with adults within an individualized, culturally sensitive environment .Together, weaving traditional and western psychology, we will create a healing process unique to you.

I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults age 21 and over. My interests and expertise center around enhancing self-awareness, self-regard, confidence, and assertiveness; exploring and directly experiencing difficult or painful feelings, and increasing the capacity to accept, understand, and work them through; improving troubled relationships, including fears about, and barriers to, deeper emotional closeness; clarifying what one most fundamentally values and wants in life, and creates and finds meaning; working with loss, grief, and mourning; and managing stress and anxiety, drawing on mindfulness approaches when appropriate.

I'm passionate about providing a safe and therapeutic space for those who have experienced childhood, sexual, race or gender based, or combat-related trauma. I'm trained in trauma-informed mental health care and developed my therapeutic approach working with a diverse population of individuals and families. I'm deeply sensitive to racial, cultural, occupational, economic, and social justice-related influences on how we experience and heal from trauma.
