Therapists Beginning With G in West Virginia

If you're reading this, chances are you are wondering if you could benefit from counseling, but are unsure how to find the right therapist, get started, or what to expect. Utilizing more than 28 years of experience, I help clients successfully manage depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, substance-use, eating, body image, and stress-related issues in a judgment-free, supportive environment.

Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work, you can get worn out, and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process. Grief doesn’t get better by ignoring it and trying to ‘get over it.’

More than anything we want to be loved, accepted and have meaningful relationships. Having people we can rely on, trust and enjoy life with gives us joy, purpose and the support we need to be ourselves and get through life's challenges. Finding and having meaningful relationships, however, can be challenging. Whether you are ending a relationship, starting a new one or have been hurt by someone you are close to, it can be scary to deal with the pain, start over or know how to be yourself. In some cases, we may even feel lost, need help healing, coping or rediscovering what makes us us and what makes us happy.

As a psychotherapist, I take an integrative approach to healing and work with the whole person, not just a set of symptoms. My goal is to assist in facilitating lasting change and empower individuals to feel more grounded in the present and hopeful about the future. I enjoy working with young adults who are ready to feel differently.

I am a New York State-licensed Psychologist and a Certified Interpersonal Psychoanalyst. During more than 20 years of counseling, I have developed a unique blend of Interpersonal psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral and mind-body awareness promoting techniques to help patients achieve creative, professional and relational goals, and reduce anxiety and depression. All of us, through adapting to childhood experience, develop limiting fears and blind spots. I can help you to identify blocks to happiness, intimacy and serenity, and to develop new, more satisfying behaviors.

There are many challenges that our young population and adult population face. I want to hear your story and work alongside you to let your best self shine! My ideal client is someone who is motivated and willing to commit towards the path of internal growth. From grade school to adulthood, I am here with you every step of the way to navigate this thing called life. I enjoy working with individuals who experience school issues, anxiety, self esteem, depression, transition into adulthood, family issues, relationship/friendship issues, trauma, and careers.

Are you feeling disconnected ? Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Sometimes our experiences and circumstances leave us struggling to get through the day to day. Or, maybe you are managing, but you're left feeling depleted and exhausted. Whether you are managing a mental health diagnosis, experiencing a difficult life transition, or struggling with unhelpful self-talk, it can take a toll. I believe all people inherently possess the capacity to make life- enriching, meaningful change. Sometimes, we just need extra support to sort through all that life might throw at us in order to make those changes.

The longest journey begins with a single step and I am grateful to walk that path with you. It can be frightening and intimidating to begin the process of therapy; however, that experience can help you to make the changes that lead to a happier and more fulfilled life. Through a collaborative and safe relationship I establish with my clients, progress and change is made. Areas of practice include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, men's concerns, and ADHD and cognitive functioning (including testing services). I also enjoy working with clients from adolescents to seniors.

I help my clients in a warm, empathic, and confidential manner. Life can be difficult, uncertain, and overwhelming at times requiring support. I help individuals develop adaptive coping skills, regain direction, live healthier, and find hope.

EMAIL for quicker response. Enough is enough! It's time to overcome your limiting beliefs, strengthen your self-acceptance, and live more fully in the present moment. You're ready to feel comfortable in your own skin and confident in your abilities. You're tired of feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed and down on yourself. You need a safe place to unpack these difficult feelings and to be supported so that you can make the changes you desire. I can help! I believe we have all that we need to live our best lives — though it may not always feel like it.
