Welcome to my site on BetterHelp ! I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York with over 30 years of experience. I have a very successful private practice which has included online therapy/ counseling and I am very much looking forward to working with you to make your life a happier and more satisfying one, by giving you strategies to attain what you want in life. I make use of an eclectic approach to therapy and tailor it to meet your needs and specific goals. I have much advanced education and training through several graduate programs that I took after I got my PhD. So I can pull techniques and theory from the different forms of therapy that I have training in and tailor it to meet your needs and specific goals. We will work together on your personal goals, making fun and easy changes to help you to create a better life. I work with individuals as well as with couples. I help with many different concerns such as anxiety, especially “panic attacks”, depression, those grieving a loss, relationship problems, improving communication with others, improving self-confidence so you feel better about yourself, maintaining a Positive Attitude and strengthening your motivation. My counseling style would be heavily based in using Cognitive-Behavioral therapy which would address how you are thinking about situations and help you to view alternative ways that may be more productive for you. With using Positive Psychology, we would approach problems in a general way, and be identifying your strengths in order to work in a positive way to achieve your goals. I would be teaching you mindfulness skills to help with any anxiety you might want to lessen, so you can cope better and focus on identifying goals and how to achieve them. If you are interested I can also teach you techniques through Clinical Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, which when added to the counseling can make it even more effective. To find out more about me you can Google me under “Dr Judith Rosenblum + reviews” and find several positive reviews from clients on the internet. I am a kind, compassionate and patient person who can help to guide you to resolve problems that you may have. In working with people, we work together as a team, and I take an active interest in working with you and show you respect, encouragement, optimism, and support.

Hi Everyone! My name is Kara Gubner. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 5 years of experience in the counseling field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also have experience working with people with developmental disabilities and/or autism and managing behavioral concerns/providing support and counseling to those individuals and their care-takers. In addition, I’ve also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, and assisted in working with people in crisis situations. I have also worked in counseling and providing support to friends/family of a person who struggles with mental illness. My counseling style is open, empathetic, non-judgmental, and interactive. My approach is person-centered and it combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. However, I typically tailor counseling sessions/dialog and treatment plan to meet each person’s unique and specific needs. In most cases, I work with clients on increasing their self-awareness to better understand themselves in order to better assist on improving their situation. It takes a lot of strength and courage to begin a journey to bettering yourself and seeking therapists/therapy is a fantastic first step! I am here and available to assist you in this journey!

Congratulations! for taking the first step in creating a space for you to find balance. There are times in our lives when we just need a little help. We have tried to alleviate the fear, using practices we have used in the past. Unfortunately, we find that those practices are not working, as they once did. It is like a puzzle where we have most of the pieces, but a couple of pieces are missing that will allow us to see clearly what we need to do to feel better. I love puzzles and I love helping others find the pieces they need to understand themselves better. I am Dr. Nina (Ednita M. Wright). I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a Credentialed Alcoholism/Substance Abuse Counselor, living in Syracuse, New York. I have provided counseling for more than thirty years, to those individuals that have had concerns with substance use, feeling lost, grief, transitions (for example adolescence to adulthood), spirituality and identity. I am still teaching as a professor, after twenty-five years, in a community college in the Alcohol/Substance Abuse Counseling/Human Services/Teacher Education Department. I consult with academic institutions, community agencies and affiliation groups, regarding issues of inclusion. It is my belief that for our communities to truly be inclusive, you must want to be inclusive and be ready to stop mere tolerance. If I seem a good fit for you, I look forward to meeting with you. If I am not, I trust you find who you need to help you find balance. Have a day full of peace and love.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I am Janet Wise-Thomas, a Licensed NYS Clinical Social Worker who has been working for over 30 years with individuals with chronic illnesses and who have suffered many forms of psychological and physical trauma. My work with young adults to seniors who struggled with variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, community violence and gender identity. I am sensitive and respectful for multi/cross-cultural factors, and trained others on cultural competency. In the end, it is about building therapeutic relationship with you that is compassionate, warmth and in-tune with your needs. My therapeutic approach draws from many disciplines, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am a strong believer in collaborating with my clients to help them create and accomplish their goals. Whether it is dealing with symptoms of depression or anxiety, or getting back to normalcy after experiencing trauma and/or going through a life crisis. Over the years, I have been privileged to work with many individuals and families looking to increase their overall stability and find joy and purpose in their lives. I do not have a “one size fits all” approach. Each individual or family constellation has specific needs, and my coaching and counseling reflects the importance of tuning into their concerns. Let’s talk about how I can help you in your journey to a better and healthier you! In addition, I have undergone intensive training in Pastoral Counseling through Fordham University’s School of Religion and Religious Studies. My training and experiences included offering grief and crisis counseling in hospital settings such as the Emergency Room and Intensive Care Unit. In the community, I provided pastoral care counseling to members at The Riverside Church in the City of New York. In these unprecedented times of disproportionate loss and grief, I have the skill set of empathy and compassion to help you as you grieve the loss of love ones, especially when you were not able to say goodbye. I believe that you work with a person in mind, body and spirit. Outside of my work as a therapist, I am a licensed fitness instructor who teaches yoga, Enerchi (a form of Tai Chi) and cardio-fitness (including Cardio Drumming) to persons of all ages. You are unique and you were created to do good things in this world for yourself and others. You are taking the steps to develop your potential! I welcome the opportunity to work with you and it is an honor to be your guide through your healing process.

My world view is flexible and my understanding is strong concerning multicultural issues in clinical practice. As confident as I am of my acumen, being able to communicate when things aren't working, and then offering to refer the client to another professional who may be able to better aid them makes me a good, self-aware and humble counselor As for my theoretical orientation, I have a fondness for Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which has its merits working with substance abuse patients. However, Person Centered Theory (PCT) and Narrative Theory (NT) are what I perceive will be using with my clientele as follows: My PCT approach would attend to the natural potential to self-actualize. I would focus on building a therapeutic alliance through the tenets - genuineness, unconditional positive regard, empathy – from which will serve to create an environment of safety, growth and discovery of the person s/he is to become. Through my NT approach, I would elicit the stories or narratives s/he uses to inform and organize their sense of reality and explore how those stories describe and shape their perspectives on their past, present, and future. I would take into consideration how culture influences their stories. I would pay keen attention to detail being left out (the omissions) of their problem-saturated stories. Sessions would focus on re-authoring their singular story to establish (or, at least, consider) alternatives and options to their stories.

My passion is helping hurting people regain their lives, sense of direction, and wellness. I assist clients in discovering the roots of their present-day issues and work to foster healthy self-perceptions and relationships. When people experience trauma, pain, or mental illness in their lives, it can feel difficult to cope, let alone function. My path to becoming a psychologist was a clear one for me; I always had a desire to help people in distress. If someone was upset, I seemed to know it (even without a word) and wanted to do something. I worked as a professor for about seven years early on in my career but preferred working one-on-one with people in private practice. Starting counseling can be challenging. Talking about trauma, flaws, and imperfections is sometimes not what we want to do. However, when we've been hurt by people and circumstances, we need someone to talk to. I believe counseling is a wonderful place for people to finally work through issues and problems that have been bothering them. I am nonjudgmental and feel comfortable letting a client lead in sessions if we are making good progress. I am a stickler for confidentiality because, without that, no one would want to come to therapy. I focus on creating a meaningful and safe working relationship where clients can talk about their history as well as what is going on in the moment. I take an eclectic approach depending on the reasons for referral. I offer EMDR as one modality for treating trauma, and also have experience in providing Christian counseling.

I am licensed in New York with 15 years of professional work experience.

I am trained in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, EMDR and my practice also includes interventions from Gestalt, Person-centered, Internal Family Systems, and other therapy approaches.

I often see clients work through their problems and experience relief from symptoms after getting to the bottom of their core fear. In my practice, I also see a lot of individuals with perfectionistic styles, traumatic backgrounds, and self-neglect, that result in procrastination or overwork, burnout, and self-blame.
