Therapists Beginning With S in Vermont

I seek to help children, teens, and adults in need of positive support or whom may be struggling with behavior support questions, attention deficit, depression, anxiety, goal development, and family relational problems. I support personal goal coaching and provide a safe environment for exploration in a number of many other areas. I seek to bring elements of joy, comfort, and safety to the personal process of healing.

Life presents challenges that are difficult to move through alone. Together we can explore the thoughts, behaviors, and experiences that strengthen you and those that may be in your way. Through this exploration, our work may focus on deepening self-compassion, healing from painful experiences, improving personal relationships, taking on challenges, or harnessing power for positive change.

I see clients from age 16 thru life. As a nurse, I use a holistic approach employing a variety of techniques and tools including hypnosis, Spiritual guidance, aromatherapy, nutritional counseling and energy healing. I am also an addictions specialist and work with recovering adults. A full description of my specialties is on my website including relationship, life transitions, women's issues and life crises.

Overcome anxiety, depression, addictions, relational or other behavioral patterns that make it difficult to cope with life and create low self esteem or conflict. Recover your true self. My practice is tailored to respect each individual's needs in therapy. In our work together we will use mind-body and expressive arts therapies, particularly Dance/Movement Therapy, to build on your strengths and develop effective life skills. Dance/Movement Therapy is the use of dance and other forms of body movement in psychotherapy to further healing and growth by stimulating insight into and changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

What a divine and complex person you are; both stunningly unique and profoundly woven in relationship to all others. For you, I offer the healing arts, which can be playful and light-hearted while being equally capable of offering safe passage through some of the richest, or most difficult experiences in our lives. Some for which, we can be left without words. May you then instead be drawn in, danced out, courted, felt, and moved. May the song of your life be sung in chorus, and the beat of your heart danced with wild surrender.

My areas of specialty include help with trauma, anxiety, stress, anger, depression, self-judgement, relationships and addictions. I believe that the primary responsibility of a therapist is to connect deeply with clients and to help them to find and cultivate their own innate goodness and potential. My approach to counseling and psychotherapy rests on a solid foundation of providing empathic attunement, acceptance, insight and supportive responsiveness. I help people to experience themselves in a way that empowers them with increased skill and confidence in living. I teach a calm clarity that aids any kind of personal or interpersonal problem resolution.

I have had over 20 years of experience in private practice treating children, adults, families and couples in a rural area. I am well-versed in common issues such as adjustment disorders, depression and anxiety, childhood trauma and substance abuse and recovery.

I assist and support individuals and couples to live from the deepest places, to make meaning in their lives, and to improve functioning within self, and between self and others. I offer possibility. I have been in the private practice of psychotherapy since 1977. Clients sometimes come to me when therapy with other therapists has not worked. I am willing to go as deeply as you are within the safety of clear ethical boundaries. I value difference and work to hold and accept and work with differences, whether they be personal, sexual, racial or cultural.
