Women's Issues Therapists in Catskill, NY

I work best with young adult to middle age groups. The issues that I work best with are: trauma, codependency, life transitions, grief, adult children of substance users, women's issues, depression and anxiety. Clients who seem to connect with me tend to have a sense of humor, are open minded, creative, and have a willingness to challenge their unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. I seek to create a partnership. I offer online sessions only at this time and cannot accept Medicaid or Managed Medicaid plans.

I believe that women's trauma experiences are compounded by the systematic oppressions they experience throughout their lives. Utilizing a feminist perspective, I provide services for a variety of women’s mental health issues including maternal mental health (pregnancy and postpartum), grief and loss, PTSD, depression, anxiety, victims of crime, and for survivors of abuse, sexual assault, trafficking/exploitation, domestic violence and other relationship issues.

I believe that the catalyst for change starts with exploration and examination and I would like to be a partner with you on that journey. I offer individual and family therapy using a client centered and psychodynamic based approach to help you identify areas for change, growth, and healing. I hold masters in both social work and education, which allows for specific insight into trauma stewardship and supporting those engaged helping professions.

Making the choice to begin therapy is a radical act of self-love and community care. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore and better understand their challenges, and cultivate a more trusting relationship with themselves. My speciality is in treating trauma, the impacts of emotional and physical violence, and anxiety. I also work with clients navigating relationship stress, life transitions, burnout and self-esteem issues. In our work together, we’ll expand on your inner strengths and resiliency, while exploring the challenges you are facing with compassion, humor and courage.

Many people today are dealing with everyday stressors and/or major life events, causing them to feel anxiety, grief and/or depression. There are others who are looking to redefine themselves, become fully aware of the choices they make and reconnect with who they truly are. Are you ready to release limiting thoughts, patterns, behaviors and beliefs about yourself and your relationships with others? I have over 22 years experience as a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with people of all ages, from all walks of life. I am currently treating Individuals and couples ages 18 and older.

Seeking therapy doesn’t mean that there is “something wrong with you”. Perhaps you are looking for support in dealing with everyday stressors, are experiencing a major life crisis, seeking clarity in your life, looking to work through complex emotions or looking to address negative patterns in your life. Whatever your reason, you are taking a courageous first step and I hope to assist you in your journey.

Greetings! My name is Lara. As a therapist, I have a passion for guiding you to discover your strengths to overcome many of life's obstacles and develop effective coping skills. I have 10 years of clinical experience working in diverse settings (i.e. psychiatric emergency room, forensic social work, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings). My approach to therapy is "meeting my client where they are at." This means building rapport and trust where you can explore and process your experiences and emotions in a safe space.
