"Are you ready to make a positive change in your life? Maybe you've been feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. Or maybe you would like to understand yourself and your relationships better. Everyone experiences difficult times, and it is a sign of strength to reach out for help. Truly connecting with a therapist can be life-changing. My clients come to therapy with many types of challenges including dealing with life stresses and decisions, feelings of sadness and anxiety, understanding their identity better, relationship and sexual concerns, grief and loss, and managing medical problems."

"My approach with my clients is collaborative, interactive, and respectful. I am an eclectic therapist because trauma affects each individual differently. I view the client as the expert on his/her journey and myself as a consultant or guide. I focus on releasing the shame and pain of the trauma/abuse using tools and approaches with which the client is most comfortable. Together we create as safe a space as possible so that this work may occur. I am a strong believer in skill building, empowerment and visibility as antidotes to shame, secrecy and victimization."

"I am an eclectic licensed psychotherapist with a full time practice in Clifton Park, NY, a retired Psychology Professor from Hudson Valley Community College and for several years provided liaison supervision for The College of St Rose counseling graduate students. I view every client as a partner in therapy and an individual bringing his or her own unique understanding to the session, sharing that understanding helps to formulate the best approach for moving forward."

"Preferred communication is email. Are you longing for emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual health? Are there unresolved issues preventing you from achieving personal satisfaction and healthy relationships? Do you struggle daily with anxiety, poor mood, a lack of motivation and confidence? Or do you simply want to explore your unique life purpose, improve marital or parenting relationships, recover from painful losses? My practice is based in a firm belief in our God-given capacity for change and health not in turning personal life struggles into a medical pathology. My mission is to come along side my clients as they journey toward wholeness and health."

"Somewhere along the way things changed and now it takes all you have not to call in sick or give an excuse not to go out with friends. Your mind never stops going, the thoughts get so overwhelming that you start to feel like you're having a heart attack or are about to throw up. You've tried medication, alcohol, drugs or pot and sometimes they help and sometimes they make it worse. It feels like it will never end. You life isn't yours anymore. It doesn't have to be this way."

"I have over 30 years experience working as a psychotherapist with a great variety of people who have come to me for help. My style is conversational, engaging and direct - I prefer a humane rather than a clinical approach and I actively participate in creating our work together. I love to help people develop emotionally and be able to make creative changes and meet challenges in their lives. My experience has been that people frequently discover, in their work with me, that they have more resources with which to build their lives than they had previously imagined."

"I have spent over a decade working with families in need. This has lead me to enjoy work with the individual and also the ever important family system. I believe helping a person find their inner strength and building confidence to face this daunting world is an integral part of building and maintaining healthy relationships. I have spent a great deal of time helping those with anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, OCD, PTSD etc) discover the tools necessary to transform into the best version of themselves. Identifying goals and objectives to obtain these goals is imperative for growth."

"I work with people who want to grow - emotionally, intellectually, professionally - in order to be more satisfied with their lives. I am an active partner in my clients' emotional growth and well-being. When people call me, whether in crisis or struggling with one of life's ordinary challenges, they are often in pain, feeling alone and overhwelmed. I help them unpackage their beliefs and ways of understanding and doing their lives. Together, we are better equipped to discover and create new possibilities: new ways of seeing, relating and doing life and relationships."

"I am an experienced psychotherapist, with a specialization treating mood, anxiety, and trauma disorders. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impacting you. If you are at a transitional point in your life..if you regularly experience anxiety, anger, shame, or guilt..if you struggle with self-doubt or self-critical thoughts..If you are repeating unhealthy behavior patterns at work, school, or in relationships..If these experiences keep you from knowing what you truly want or need, we can work together to bring more ease and peace into your life."

"Traditional talk therapy has limited benefits. Insight alone is not sufficient to generate change. Lasting change comes from addressing core beliefs which originate in childhood, and lead to habitual (and generally unconscious) ways of perceiving ourselves and the outside world. Thus 'our lives run us' rather than 'we run our lives'. Western culture tends to draw us away from ourselves to the outer world of materialism, competition and achievement. Mindfulness helps us to turn inward, attuning with the body, leading to the discovery of core beliefs that impede our ability to make healthy choices."

"I use a variety of approaches to meet clients' needs such as: equine assisted and animal assisted counseling, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and play therapy.I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and am experienced in treating a variety of difficulties including: anxiety, depression, childhood behavioral problems, autism, recent family adjustments, parenting skills, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)."

"As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Registered Art Therapist, I use both traditional counseling and expressive arts approaches. Together we will gain insight, set goals, increase coping, and process past issues to help you move forward in life. Art is a tool used to bring about positive change, and it can create an environment of safety and comfort, and even make therapy fun! Art, music, writing, and movement offer additional ways to express and explore thoughts, feelings and experiences in a way words sometimes cannot. "

"I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and am experienced in addressing difficulties including: anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, child and adolescent behavioral and developmental concerns, adjustment and life transitions, challenges faced by military families, stress management, family dynamics, and addiction.

"I am a physician offering MAT, Medication-Assisted-Treatment for addiction to opioids and alcohol. These meds can help people stay off heroin, opioids, and alcohol - offering time to address the root of the problems, pains and sufferings that people are escaping from. Many times people who use drugs and alcohol have had difficult experiences at home growing up. With decent therapy they can rebuild their inner strength and become functioning adults again without needing alcohol and drugs as crutches. They can learn to love themselves the way they are, and move on in life."

I am interested in helping clients navigate life-cycle changes such as marriage, becoming parents, retirement, divorce, etc. I am also able to work with clients with trauma history, depression, anxiety and interpersonal difficulties."

"The importance of relationships within our daily lives is often overlooked or forgotten when we struggle. Focusing on relationships, I use personal interaction to promote healing inside and outside of the therapeutic setting. Through the use of video conferencing, I work with individuals and couples who struggle in areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, as well as family and couples relational dynamics. My treatment style integrates compassion, support, and humor to build resiliency through self-regulation, encourage growth, and promote self-discovery."

"My passion is working with people and the community. I use an eclectic and soft style towards treatment focusing on specific needs and individuality. The mind-body connection is a powerful force: we all have strengths within ourselves to manage stresses, depression, anxiety or other energies that prevent us from living our lives in good mental and physical health. My role is to guide, educate and support you towards achieving your goals."
