Sexual Abuse Therapists in Northfield, VT

I am a Licensed Psychologist Master with over thirty years experience in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. Depression, anxiety, or just a sense of life feeling less than what it could be, may be signs of childhood abuse or neglect. I help people navigate the sometimes choppy waters from their past in order to be fully living in the present. I am trained by Pia Melody in Post Induction Therapy for addressing the effects of codependence: low self esteem, impaired boundaries, knowing who you are , and difficulties with self care. Trauma creates addictions creates relational problems.

A person's strength and uniqueness are their best assets and are the foundation for their success. Each person is individual with their response to potentially traumatic event(s) and need an equally individual way of processing and overcoming the barriers that come from experiencing trauma. Each person must be given the attention, respect, and time to work through any traumatic event, which is much more successful when you have someone there to process this trauma with you. What you can expect from sitting in a therapy room with me is mutual respect, understanding that trauma is diverse, and patience since healing work takes time.

Hi. I am a licensed psychotherapist, relationship specialist, and a certified sex therapist in the states of Connecticut, Florida, and Vermont. Offering services online allows me to work with anyone within the state lines and provide quality therapy. I work with individuals and couples with an integrative style so I can design therapy around you. My impartial and supportive setting can help you understand, work through, and resolve the dynamics that you are struggling with. Please visit my websites for more information about my services. I am available to help trans and trans in military services with their transition process.

I currently have online individual sessions and some limited in person sessions available. Openings range between 9am and 6:30pm. I work collaboratively with clients to process where they are in life, evaluate what their current needs are, and identify what in their past and present could be addressed to make changes towards identified goals. I believe the therapeutic process can only work with dedication and the willingness to allow change. I work with my clients to identify ways that they can bring what we process in session into their everyday life so they have something to work on in between session.

Developing into the person you want to be isn't always an easy task, and neither is working through past experiences that have shaped you; so, let's collaborate to help you become who you'd like to be. I help clients to create the life they want in a relaxing, understanding, and non-judgmental environment wherever you're at. Through secure and convenient online counseling, I provide therapy services for individuals experiencing anxiety and stress, depression, trauma, loneliness, relationship issues and other distressing concerns that interfere with living a full and meaningful life.

We all have had times when we find ourselves contemplating our understanding of life and whether our life has progressed on the path that we had envisioned. We may be experiencing states of grief, self-doubt, and worry about ourselves, our relationships, or the condition of the world in general. It can often feel frustrating and overwhelming to accept this experience and we can find ourselves asking, "What did I ever do to deserve this; why me and why now?" These are often the scenarios when we require support and a new perspective with which to consider life's challenges.

I believe everyone deserves a judgement-free space to discover and explore all they are. I provide an eclectic client-centered approach to therapy that is deeply rooted in feministic theory and strengths-based approaches. I help (re)build self-worth, empower, and guide you to your true self. I encourage looking at life from various perspectives in order to fully understand how you can grow and become who you desire to be. I have experience navigating relationships and the unique issues within the gaming, pop culture, and geek/nerd communities. I use essential oil blends, if this is an issue, let me know PRIOR to scheduling.

Is your substance use getting out of control and creating serious problems? Have memories of your past life experiences been interfering with your present life? Do anger, loneliness, depression, or anxiety prevent you from living your life fully? Or have you just lost your way and wonder what your purpose is? My approach to counseling highly individualized and non-judgmental. I am skilled in assisting people with whatever challenges to gain clarity, decrease suffering, and regain a life more in line with their personal values.

If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you needed support but didn't know where to turn, you're not alone. I recall my initial attempts at seeking therapy in my younger days, where encounters with judgmental counselors deterred me from seeking help for a while. As life unfolded, it became evident that something wasn't right, prompting me to persistently search for a compassionate guide who would listen without judgment and aid me in my healing journey.

I focus on helping you to make positive changes in your life and remove barriers that you feel are holding you back. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, codependence, and substance use issues. I provide a comfortable environment where we will work together and help you become more mindful and motivated, improve your thoughts and behaviors, and feel less stressed and anxious. I have flexible hours and my office is conveniently located in downtown Montpelier.

You've taken a big step by looking for someone to talk with. Perhaps you're ready to change the cycle of difficult emotions and unhealthy patterns of behavior. I would like to help you challenge what keeps you stuck and support you in making positive changes towards your goal. Life stressors lead to patterns of negative thinking made worse by negative emotions that keep us from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life. Past traumas can alter your coping and block your happiness. Don't go it alone. I am ready to be at your side and do the hard work you know needs to be done.

For over 30 years, I've worked with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, and grief. My practice is guided by a deep appreciation for psychoanalytic thought and its clinical influence, effecting meaningful shifts in a person's internal and external life. I listen carefully, and while respecting the importance of confidentiality, as well as using empathy, honesty and sometimes humor, I encourage the exploration of conscious and unconscious thoughts/feelings. We explore the influence of unconscious wishes, fears and inhibitions which are often expressed in dreams, life choices or physical symptoms.

We all face challenges in our lives. The current climate of our world can often lead us to feel like our struggles are outweighing life's gifts. I work to help clients balance the different aspects of their lives. Together, we can challenge unwanted negative thoughts and work on changing how we react to the struggles that we face each day with a goal of strengthening healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. I believe in the importance and effectiveness of a strong therapeutic alliance between clinician and client, this alliance serves as the foundation for meaningful and rewarding treatment.
