"My approach focuses on strengths and what's working in one's life, while also assisting in practical problem solving. Those who want to establish a mind/body/spirit connection and have more joy in their lives will benefit the most by working with me. My excitement for counseling and coaching comes from helping people create wellness and balance, while going through life's transitions: adolescence, college, marriage, parenting, divorce, aging, adjusting to losses and dealing with health issues. I'm also a cancer survivor interested in helping others on their healing journey by phone or in person."

"I love helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and aspirations. I offer a caring, safe, and healing environment that allows clients the opportunity to explore, experience, work through problems, and create solutions that expand their potential for growth and wellness. As a proponent of integrative and holistic therapy that honors the mind-body connection and its impact on well-being, health, and happiness, I attend to the whole person, not just a set of symptoms or problems. I emphasize teaching skills that develop inner resources for successful coping in life. I use a variety of methods, but the method has to meet your needs."

"I believe that counseling can help you THRIVE. With compassion, warmth, and humor, I help people who want to change unproductive or unhealthy patterns in their behavior, and in their important relationships. I help individuals desiring to become stronger and healthier - often while experiencing crises or change in their personal or professional lives. My clients often struggle with issues that include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, co-dependency, substance abuse, work related issues, life transitions. One of my passions is working with adults - partners, parents, ACOA's - who live with anxiety & frustration over a loved one's alcoholism/addiction."

"I work alongside clients to develop their awareness of behavioral patterns and use mindfulness-based CBT techniques to redirect repetitive and compulsive thought patterns. Additionally, I incorporate somatic techniques to help bring clients in closer touch with their bodies. Finally, I explore relationship patterns using a psychodynamic lens, looking at connections with caretakers during childhood years. In my work with teens, I allow a safe and non-judgemental space for their 'real selves' to emerge and I enjoy partnering with parents to collaborate in the therapeutic process."

"As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am pleased to provide psychotherapy services for adults who want help with life's challenges. Experienced in the areas of depression, anxiety and relationship issues, my unique areas of practice include life transitions, occupational plight, and issues of family, social and cultural duress."

"Looking for relationship help? To relieve the pain or find better ways to manage? The "secrets" of dealing skillfully with difficulties, differences and hurts, are not really secrets: you CAN learn these and many more relationship skills if you are curious, motivated and persistent. I'd like to help you: a) address and relieve your most pressing problems, b) set clear, realistic goals, and c) learn to avoid a tremendous amount of headache and heartache in the future. Our collaboration may yield a lifetime of benefits."

"For over 15 years, Iona Senior Services' staff of compassionate licensed clinical social workers has been helping older adults and their families cope with the emotional challenges of aging. Are you an older adult feeling depressed or anxious? Having difficulty dealing with memory loss, a medical condition, or increased dependence on others? Experiencing grief or loss? Is retirement not what you expected? Stressed by caregiving responsibilities or other situations? Are there relationships you'd like to improve? Or are you a caregiver for your aging parents or other loved one seeking support to deal with the emotions and relationship changes that come with caregiving?"

"I believe that individuals have a great capacity to grow and change through psychotherapy. My goal is to help patients better understand themselves by developing insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. To facilitate this process, I provide a safe and supportive environment in which counterproductive patterns of behavior are examined. I specialize in treating individuals and couples with issue of anxiety & depression, low self-esteem, postpartum depression, parenting issues, sexual & physical abuse, domestic violence, trauma, and work-related stress."

"I love helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and aspirations.

"If you are stuck in your career or are wondering whether it's time for a change, I know I can help. I bring to my clients the wisdom from the successes I've had as a Harvard MBA, as an advertising executive with one of America's top advertising agencies, as president of an innovative not-for profit, and as a successful entrepreneur. I also have a strong clinical background of 17 years in private practice as a licensed psychotherapist. This variety and breadth gives me a unique ability to view problems from multiple perspectives, creating strategically sound, actionable solutions."

"My first priority is bringing fast relief from your current symptoms of anxiety and depression, before moving on to deeper issues such as childhood memories and experiences. My style is direct, active, and caring, focused on mutually agreed upon goals. I believe that it is important to work emphasizing strengths as well as dealing with problems. I have seen that working within a collaborative partnership with each person yields the best outcomes within the shortest amount of time. Your family is also important in understanding,supporting and helping you. Free initial consultation can be arranged by telephone contact."

"I work with individuals, couples, and groups that are faced with a variety of challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and dissatisfaction, infidelity, impulse control, and adjustment issues. I am trained and use ACT principles when working with my clients. ACT is a mindfulness, acceptance, and commitment approach to psychotherapy. Working together, I help clients slow down the thought process so they can thoughtfully respond to difficult thoughts and emotions. This allows you to take value-based behavioral action as opposed to having emotional, automatic reactions."

""Are you experiencing conflicts in your relationships? Are you feeling depressed, anxious or irritable? Finding a therapist you can connect with to help you explore an unbiased view of your struggles or concerns can be difficult. As a clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience, I help adults, adolescents, and couples through a variety of life transitions. I offer help to clients struggling from a variety of issues, ranging from: marital difficulties, anxiety and depression, separation and divorce, grief, parenting and workplace difficulties. In addition, I am a trained collaborative divorce coach and child specialist."

"Do you feel unsettled, out of balance, or like you don't have a voice? Are you at a crossroads in your life and not sure which path to take? In the safety of my office, I help clients find their balance, gain insight, make intentional changes, heal and grow - as individuals and in relationships. I have found that empowering clients with practical strategies to incorporate into their daily living while supporting clients in doing the deeper work of increasing their understanding of themselves and their partners (for clients in couples counseling), ultimately leads to the most meaningful changes."

"I like to work with people who find that their usual ways of dealing with problems in their lives are not working as they have before. These problems can involve relationships of all kinds, effectiveness and satisfaction at work, and the changes and stumbling blocks that inevitably come in the course of life. I take an active role in the work; I am not a silent listener. I also want, hope, and expect that YOU will also take an active role in our work and in putting what we learn to use in your life."

"Are you facing a crisis, difficult time, transition period, or relationship conflict? Are you feeling blocked by trauma in your past, stuck in a behavioral pattern that is making you miserable, or struggling with substance abuse or the challenges of life in recovery from substance abuse? If so, you are wanted and welcome here. Let's partner to change your life so that you can experience more joy and clarity of thought."

"My specialty is helping individuals to work to remove challenges to achieving satisfaction in their lives. Many times we find ourselves stuck in patterns that are self-defeating but seem difficult to change. These may cause us problems in school and work, as well as in our peer and family relationships, as well as in the enjoyment of pleasurable activities. These patterns may be due to our early experiences within our families, or as a result of challenges faced in adolescence and adulthood. No matter your age or phase of life, therapy can help."

"Growing up can be tough! Is your daughter having trouble dealing with the changes of adolescence? Are you worried about your young adult child living on their own? During these growing years, we develop coping skills as ways to manage feelings or events which we find "unacceptable". These ways of dealing can sometimes have a negative impact on our lives. Therapy can be a safe place for you or your child to explore patterns and identify some solutions."
