Therapists Beginning With B in Vermont

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) I specialize in the treatment of trauma and practice in a manner that provides a supportive environment that encourages and guides clients to expand their capacities and improve their quality of living.  My practice philosophy is rooted in the evidence-based practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

It is within safety and connection that we heal. I believe in the importance of creating a warm, non-judgmental, and safe therapeutic space, and a relationship in which you feel supported, understood, and heard. Client’s that I work with often struggle with feeling good about themselves, navigating relational challenges, coping with distressing experiences, as well as feeling connected to and/or expressing their authentic self. Together, we will explore your concerns and help you grow towards greater self-understanding, confidence, improvements in the quality and intimacy of your relationships, self-compassion, and well-being.

The goal of my work is to support and encourage positive change and increase your understanding of yourself. I use a non-judgemental approach that is trauma informed. I will work with you to help identify your strengths and increase coping skills needed to reach your goals in treatment.

When people call me, it's usually because they've reached a point where whatever is happening is hard to manage alone. Most often, it is a difficult call to make. The circumstances couldn't be more personal and the idea of talking to a stranger, however professional, is a daunting bridge to cross. They make that call when their accustomed solutions no longer work or only make them feel worse. They want help to solve what otherwise seems unsolvable, to manage what seems unmanageable, to get support during a crisis or grappling with a loss. They want to figure out how to feel better.

I offer psychotherapy services to address a variety of concerns in an individualized way. Utilizing evidence-based modalities we will work together to develop a path of healing best suited for you. I provide a supportive and safe environment to invite you to identify and explore parts of yourself and identify cycles that need your attention so that you can experience peace and freedom from suffering. I will guide and teach you the skills to navigate your system with the care it needs to heal and transform. I provide mindfulness-based and attachment based modalities of therapy for individuals, couples and families.

Note: My practice is full at this time; I am not taking new clients or adding to my waiting list: I believe that metaphor is the carrier of deep truths about the self, and the door to meaning and growth. As a therapist, I listen for metaphor in verbal and non-verbal interactions with clients. I was trained in Expressive Therapy and also use a developmental approach. I am also fully trained in EMDR. I base all of my work with children, teens, families, and adults in a grounding in normal development, taking into account developmental stages as I look at issues and problems presented.

I focus on treating adolescents and young adults struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Attachment related concerns, and PTSD. The best outcome for treatment comes when a person is ready to start the process of healing and allow themselves to change for a better future. There is a chance to find balance and peace in life.

Are you ready to find your healing balance? Here at Balance Psychology, we provide evidence-based, collaborative treatment approaches specific to your individual strengths and needs. Our goal, for adults, children, couples and families, is to help you heal and adjust to difficult life circumstances and decrease difficult symptoms. Both therapist and client are actively involved in the process of improving quality of life, reducing symptom frequency and duration, and alleviating mental pain or distress.

Holistic and creative counseling for optimal mental, emotional and somatic wellbeing. Engage in a healing journey that incorporates mindfulness, therapeutic yoga, breathing exercises and visualizations. Client-centered approach allows you to start with your priorities and grow at your own pace.

Accepting NEW clients. EMAIL is the best way to reach me. Are you struggling with thoughts and behaviors that sabotage your goals, happiness and ability to feel fulfilled. When subconscious thoughts and patterns reveal themselves in therapy it creates an opportunity for healing and desired change. The client drives the work in psychotherapy and the therapist assists their clients in their exploration to heal from psychological injury and work toward desired goals. I have many years of experience working with young adults, adults and couples, treating Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Difficulties and Life Transitions.

Asking for help shows courage and opens us up to connection and hope. Looking at what is working in your life, while setting specific goals for what you would like to improve upon are the main areas that I focus on with individuals and families. We all have strengths but sometimes day to day life events, worries and stress bury these personal strengths so deep we struggle to access them. Together, using positive psychology and strength based strategies, we will work to uncover the innate qualities that will move you toward a more hopeful and balanced life.

Understanding we are all in different "stages of change", we utilize an eclectic approach to guide you through your own process at your own pace. It is absolutely an honor and our passion to treat those who struggle with mental health issues such as Eating Disorders, Substance Use, trauma, depression, anxiety, family conflict, relationship issues and associated disorders. We employ an individualized approach to therapy in order to empower people to change their lives. In the wise words of Maya Angelou, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, humor, and style."

Psychoanalytic work is an intensive therapy that focuses on increasing self-understanding and a sense of personal freedom. It is very helpful for anxiety, depression, obsessions and compulsions, relationship issues and trauma.

Life’s challenges sometimes can feel like mountains which we are never going to get over or storms that we may never be able to see another sunset or sunrise. This is when we need a little helping hand that I can provide to allow you to move within the world in a healthier and more fulfilling way. I work with adults, adolescences, preadolescences, children, and families to help get through their challenges. I enjoy age diversity. I have over 20 years of experience with children and teens either as a teacher, athletic coach, or a counselor.

My vision for therapy is to provide a safe and comfortable space, where every part of you is accepted and valued. Starting with our first session and continuing throughout our time together, we will explore the best approach to support your needs. I have found that the most important part of therapy is to keep the relationship at the center. With a trusting therapeutic relationship we can shift the kaleidoscope of life ever so slightly, where a new reality and healing becomes possible.

I see therapy as a path of self-healing for which I serve as a guide, sounding board, and support. My vision of therapeutic healing is understanding that people have their own wise internal knowing. My job is to be a partner and a guide to discover those. I strive to create an environment that fosters validation, safety, and recognition.I work from a lens of interconnectedness that honors the emotional, social, and spiritual aspect of being. My goal is to help people chart their way back to their authentic self.
