Hello. My name is Jennifer Pias-Hage. I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling at The Sage Colleges. I currently work in a private hospital in upstate NY. I have private patients, couples and I run groups for adolescents. I use many different approaches such as cognitive behavior and dialectical behavior therapy and person-focused therapy. My strength though, is empathy and establishing trust between me and my clients which is the foundation of a therapeutic relationship and the growth of the client. Using the psychological theories combined with empathy will help us to gain insight into the attributes that have helped achieve your identified goals and happiness in the past and gain confidence to achieve the identified goals and happiness of your future. Goals may include relationship goals, career goals or the development of your psychological or spiritual self.

I have had the opportunity to work in this field for 15 years, first as a caseworker and eventually as a Social Worker. In my time working with clients in foster care I have had the privilege of helping youth and their families come back together with supports to ensure their health, wellness and ability to thrive. My approach is solution focused and informed by the use of cognitive behavior therapy to assist my clients in making decisions that empower them in their wellbeing. Overall, I would say that my experience has led me to understand that the road to a better life is determined in collaboration with the clients I have had the opportunity to serve and fortifying a clients network of support has always led to positive outcomes.
