Therapists in Middlebury, VT

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, or you are struggling with grief and loss, or the effects of trauma, I can offer you a safe place to share your feelings and experiences, and to be heard with compassion and understanding. Together we can help you find a greater sense of happiness and well-being.

I provide collaborative, creative and practical counseling and psychotherapy. Using a holistic approach that integrates the latest research on neuroscience with mind, body and spirit, we will work together to help you overcome troublesome patterns and to develop greater well-being, confidence, and happiness. I have specialty and advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR, and somatic therapy.

I will provide a safe and comfortable space for you to explore issues that have caused you difficulties or hindered your goals. Sometimes we are stuck in a situation that requires someone to listen and prompt you to find solutions and sometimes issues are about finding yourself and ways to cope with the world. You are the expert about your needs.

I offer videoconference therapy over the HIPPA compliant "zoom" platform and in person sessions when COVID numbers are low. My initial focus is to create a confidential, safe environment for a person to talk about their concerns. I offer psychotherapy that provides a way to understand problems and patterns related to moods, thoughts, behaviors and relationships; to find ways to untangle them; and to develop new ways of seeing and responding. This work will support you in developing self-compassion, accessing your sense of agency, and cultivating effective coping strategies.

You may find yourself sitting at a growth edge and wanting to take steps towards change in your life. Often in this growth process there are patterns that emerge that no longer fit who you are and who you are becoming. Traumatic events and life stressors can live in the body and become patterns of tension you carry around that lead you to feel stuck. The process of therapeutic self-inquiry can help you discover new ways of relating to yourself outside narratives that no longer serve your well-being and prevent you from moving forward in your life in a meaningful way.

With years of experience in helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional well-being, I'm here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to overcome life's challenges. I specialize in treating adult men and women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, maternal mental health issues and general life stressors. My goal is to equip you with practical tools to manage anxiety and depression. We'll work on techniques to reframe negative thought patterns, manage stress, and enhance your coping skills.

Feeling stuck in a life that is unfulfilling, repeating patterns or habits that don't serve your well-being and relationships right now, overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities and the tides of our rapidly changing world, or having trouble letting go of painful parts of the past? We all occasionally need help to clearly see ourselves and find new ways to live better lives.

Psychotherapy is both an art and a science. I believe that my strength as a psychotherapist is that I am informed equally by my theoretical foundation as well as my creativity and intuition. The first part of my theoretical foundation is drawn from insight-oriented theories. I'm interested in how the interplay of your history and personality has contributed to your current concerns. The process of learning about and accepting who you are contributes to your healing. Through gentle and direct exploration and encouragement I will guide you toward self- awareness and compassionate self -acceptance.

I have been practicing as an Art Therapist and Counselor in Vermont for 10 years, working with children, teens, and adults who are in need of support. I have a holistic approach to therapy and am a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider. I integrate nutritional interventions, mindfulness and art therapy into my practice to address the mental, physical and spiritual health of my clients. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, children and parents dealing with issues around life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, grief, communication, and emotional regulation.

Hi there! Are you struggling to feel joy in your everyday life? Do you have difficulty managing your stress or worries? Are you looking to gain more insight into repeating patterns in your life? We all go through tough times in our lives, and talking to a professional can be incredibly helpful in not only learning new ways to approach the problems we face, but also in building resilience, finding joy and creating meaning through adversity. I have a focus on working with neurodivergent folks assigned female at birth.

I work with children, teens, adults and families with an array of concerns such as everyday life stressors, communication issues, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, divorce, depression, social skills, self-esteem, and many more. As we work together, we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focus on goals that are important to you and implement a plan and skills to create confidence in managing stressors and challenges.

Seek me out when you are having problems with depression, anxiety, pain, stress, self- esteem, anger, health, or in your relationship. Marital problems such as loss, betrayal, trust, anger or alienation are common problems that couples or individuals bring to me. I have a warm, clear, reflective, interpersonal style. I tailor my approach to the needs of the client. This means we may look at your need for dealing with negative thoughts, how to manage your pain, relaxation training, or look at your developmental experiences to design corrective experiences. Clearly decision- making, communication skills, managing emotion could be addressed.

Grieving the death of a loved one is among the most challenging and layered experiences one will ever face. While sadness is a nearly universal response to loss, you may have discovered it is often hard to understand the confusion and numbness you sometimes feel. This can lead to isolation rather than meaningful connections that support understanding and rebuilding. Trust your instinct to reach out and share the intensity of your loss, despite your vulnerability. In a safe, compassionate environment you can learn to understand and embrace your grief, bringing new meaning and strength to your life.
