Therapists in Vermont

I specialize in working with both couples and individuals who are dealing with complex trauma, PTSD, and religious trauma, as well as those who are exploring their identity and navigating life transitions, such as relationship ruptures, career changes & grief. I provide therapy to both adults and youth ages 16+. In addition, I specialize in working with Latin/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I am particularly passionate about supporting expats and professionals from Latin American countries as they adjust to a new culture and build a life away from home. I work with couples experiencing trauma, life crises, and major transitions.

I work with couples, families, and individuals looking to strengthen feelings of connection as they navigate relational challenges, transitions, and changes. I have witnessed the powerful healing that can occur when people, like you, allow themselves to be vulnerable and courageous in seeking support. I work to create an environment where people can feel safe to share their stories and open up about their challenges, strengths, values, perspectives, and hopes for the future. I believe in the importance of understanding problems through a systemic lens and supporting people in creating meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.

Our natural state is wellness. Yet many of us feel sick in our souls. Empty and discouraged, we seek creative bandaids to contain our despair : pursuits of money, relationships, sex, achievement, adventure, good works, productivity. Even health practices can become compulsive activities that fail to mend a persistent sense of inner broken-ness. Mindful Psychotherapy cultivates inherent wellness in the midst of life difficulty and opens the potential for real and lasting change. I am now honored to offer Mindfulness for couples as a certified Dialogue Therapist, a powerful time limited intervention : https://young-eisendrath.com/d

Drawing from evidence-based and holistic therapy practices, I support people of all ages, children, teens, families and adults, in handling stress, emotions, distressing thoughts, and limiting beliefs. As you move towards your values and goals through mind-body-based treatments, you will develop self-kindness, acceptance, inner strength, improved communication, boundaries, and empowerment along the way. Whether you are navigating challenging relationships, difficult life circumstances, life transitions, grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, suffering, or a desire to change your lifestyle or career, I will meet you where you are.

My name is Jodyan Gaynor, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician in the state of Vermont. I work with adults and couples experiencing a range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, workplace difficulties and major life transitions. Even positive events can create stressful experiences. I believe our history and cultures is a significant part of who we are and am careful to include this in the experiences of how we approach healing and emotional wellbeing.

I am passionate about whole body healing or holistic health. Holistic health includes mind, body, and spirit. I believe this is essential for an individual to experience relief from unwanted mental health difficulties. I believe for most people our feelings give us information about our internal environment and it’s important to learn from them and make changes in our external environment as needed. Action is important when looking to change our relationship with our emotions. Therapy can often help with figuring out what action steps need to be taken to reach ones goals. A lot of work is required outside of session to make changes

Suffering is an inherent part of the human condition, but it doesn't mean that we need to move through it alone. Irvin Yalom, an American Existential Psychiatrist, describes the therapist and client as "fellow travelers." This resonates with me, as I believe that a collaborative approach and the steadily cultivated care and trust in the therapeutic relationship can fuel meaningful growth and change on individual and relational levels. Then, by shining the light of curiosity on one's inner landscape, an awareness of relationship themes, habitual behaviors, and thought patterns begins to surface. This awareness is the key to change.

Sometimes we all need extra support as we navigate life's challenges. My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that everyone is capable of change and that we all have within us a deep well of strength and resilience that enables us to overcome and move toward our fullest and most empowered selves. Together, we will work to draw on your strengths and resources, clarify your goals, and explore your internal and external worlds in order to deepen your awareness and create the space for change, growth, and healing.

Thank you for taking a moment to read about me and my practice! I help couples find ways to feel connected, respected, and loved. If you feel dissatisfied, scared, or confused about relationships with others (and your relationship with yourself!) in your life, I can help. Research suggests that the best predictor of therapeutic success is the relationship one has with the therapist, not the type of therapy used. Finding someone who fits you is the most important part of this work. If you'd like to see if my approach would work for you, please visit my website at kategreenenlmft.com.

Hilary Pearce is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience with a variety of complex emotional and life challenges with adults and children with special interest in young adults and couples. Grounded in a fundamental understanding of how to create a compassionate space to heal, learn, and grow. You deserve to feel empowered and capable of managing life's challenges and there's no better time than now.

We all have our own life story. We all go through events in our lives that make holes in our hearts. Sometimes those holes heal over time, and sometimes those holes needs some extra time and attention in order to mend. I believe YOU are the experts of your own life; therefore my goal in therapy is to build a supportive relationship with you based on care, trust, empathy and genuineness when you are sharing about these sensitive struggles.

My focus is in helping couples, families, teens, and adults to heal from the direct and indirect effects of trauma and build healthy lives and relationships. Trauma shows up in many ways, some obvious and some not realized to be trauma by the person or people going through it. It can have many effects, including fear, anxiety, depression, numbness, chronic pain, negative thoughts, anger, feeling out of control, feeling like it's your fault, not feeling normal, feeling a sense of needing to keep busy, panic, self-harm, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, shutting down, isolating, or being uncomfortable being alone.

In a safe and supportive environment I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families. For more than thirty years I have worked collaboratively with my clients around many different concerns, including illness and grief, relationship stress, separation and divorce, parenting (including co-parenting and step-parenting), career change and stress, care-taking of elderly and other family members, and self esteem struggles resulting from childhoods touched by neglect and/or abuse. Special interest and training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples and Individual Therapy).

I am a seasoned therapist of over 20 plus years in private practice, that works with a broad client base such as individual adults, teens, and children but specialize with couples work and family therapy. I am certified in Imago Relationships International. I work with grief and loss for individuals, couples and families. I am certified in Grief and Loss as an educator, training with David Kessler. I am also certified in International work with clients who have gone through war and work with clients that are from the Middle East, Turkey, and Bosnia. I do not specialize working with LGBTQ clients.

The quest to live authentically is challenging but ultimately transformative. With hard work and supportive professional guidance, clients have the opportunity to examine persistent, troubling patterns without judgment or shame, and in doing so create space for growth and possibility. I work with clients age 6 to end of life -- individuals, partners, and families -- to explore individual and relational challenges that may lead to feeling depressed, anxious, or "stuck." I offer support with life transitions, including separation and divorce. My work is LGBTQ+ affirmative, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, confidential.

Lao Tzu wrote, “Your own positive future begins in this moment.” This quote speaks to the heart of my clinical practice. I view therapy as a path taken together rooted in respect, humility, kindness, honesty, and perseverance. On this journey, we will develop a life of meaning and purpose grounded in your own goals and values.

Did you know that the body's natural response to stress includes restless, on edge wound up feelings? Stress also compromises our attention? You might feel digestive and sleep issues, feelings of anxiousness, and dis-ease. Has a recent life event, such as a job transition, a shift in your relationships, or unsettling medical news, triggered these feelings of unease? It's essential to recognize that such moments of high alert often present remarkable opportunities for personal growth, even though they may not initially feel terrible, awful or unsettling. From experience, I can help you find brightness in the darker places.

The world renowned teacher, Pema Chodron, once said that "compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It is a relationship between equals". This quote speaks to the heart of my clinical practice. I view therapy as a journey that we take together, one step at a time. We will travel together on this path and find ways to support a life of health and wellbeing that are meaningful to you.
