Therapists in New York

Hi and thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I am a marriage and family therapist and this is my second career. I had always wanted to be a therapist but never found the time or the motivation when I was younger. When the opportunity presented itself I was a wife, mother and had a better understanding of myself. I knew what I wanted to do and the focus I wanted to take. I work in private practice with couples, individuals and with the elderly who are an under serviced population. I am also a certified grief counselor. Having experienced therapy on a personal level as a teenager and an adult, I understood how beneficial it is. Talking with someone and sharing what you are feeling alone is helpful. Having someone who is able to help you see other options and identify things we have been closed off or unable to see, is where therapy shines. My family has struggled with anxiety and depression through my life, I have seen how mental health can influence a family's overall health. Those with mental health issues effect those around them and can cause disruption within the entire family. As a marriage and family therapist I take a systemic approach, looking at all factors, that contribute to someone's happiness or sadness. I approach therapy with an open mind, respect and sensitivity. I utilize solution focused and narrative theories collaboratively, creating goals and finding the strengths to make changes. Progress is measured regularly to keep up motivation and to check if we are on the right track. Therapy is tough, but with help you and/or you family will find yourself in a better place. Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and have provided mental health counseling for 32 years to people of all ages. I worked as a school counselor for the past 32 years at the Kenton UFSD, a suburban school district just north of Buffalo, NY. I also provide family and couples counseling at the KenTon Family Support Center. Many people feel stuck at times but do not know how to make changes to allow them to enjoy their lives to the fullest. My approach to counseling incorporates a few styles of therapy to help clients clarify goals, understand their own behaviors and self-talk, and take charge of their future. Clinical areas of treatment include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, stress management, conflict resolution, work and career issues, grief & loss, and anger management. I strongly believe in the dignity and worth of people and am dedicated to helping people find a productive healthy path.

I would like to start with this quote as an encouragement to you. "Motivation is not something you wait to get, motivation is something that you do," by Sharon L. Johnson. This quote is to encourage you to increase your motivation. I encourage you to be a go-getter, a self-starter, be ambitious, be self-driven, and go after your heart desires and your dreams, set goals and seek to achieve them. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I am also Haitian, having migrated to the U.S. in my early teens, and thus I speak fluently French and Haitian Creole, as well as English. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and Humanistic therapy when working with individuals with all sorts of emotional distress and mental health problems to help treat those problems and enhance a better well-being emotionally, mentally, physically, and holistically. Relaxation exercises and mindfulness meditation, conjoined with restructuring the individual's thinking, applying problem-solving skills, and showing great empathy, will help the individual solve problems in their lives, resolving conflicts, gaining better self-awareness, and have an increased happiness and overall improved well-being. I am also specialized in motivational interviewing counseling, a collaborative approach to helping individuals make positive changes around substance use behaviors and other behaviors that are maladaptive for better appropriate, new learned, positive behaviors. I have experience in helping treating many clinical disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, adjustment difficulties, schizophrenia, substance abuse problems, and so forth. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. As a last encouraging expression: 'Be tenacious, hold on in doing what you know works for you. Practice in doing what works. Skill building requires practice.'
