You can have peace and I am devoted to help you in the process. *At this time I am limiting new patient referrals to CHRISTIAN WOMEN ONLY, unless a man is involved in Christian MINISTRY seeking services, because ministers need peace too. I am Rachel Anauo, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in the state of New York. I am also Ordained and Licensed as a Christian Minister. I had a dramatic conversion to following Christ in 1996. (Jesus means everything to me!) I am a widow, now over 50, and have experienced hardship in my life too, so I understand that life can be tough at times. I offer a blend where the professional clinical part of counseling and the spiritual growth and encouragement merge. I have special interest in adult women’s mental health care. I have 10+ years of counseling experience with dual disorders (mental health and substance abuse). Most of my experience has been within non-Christian programs, and this has frustrated me in the past to work with such limitations. I help people working through grief and loss, to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy in relationships. I am comfortable discussing sexual matters. I help those who struggle with anxiety and depression, boundaries, and self-esteem issues. I am glad to help people with a trauma history. And I like to provide education about various things that people are struggling with. I am fully aware that people often self-medicate with drugs and alcohol (and other destructive behaviors) and I am very experienced with helping people who are seeking recovery from this burden, but a higher level of care may be recommended if unlikely to succeed from online counseling. I am learning more about the challenges that women face in relationships in cycles of abuse, including narcissistic abuse dynamics, as this is very damaging to a person's confidence and understanding of what healthy relationships look like. I bring vast personal and professional experience to our work together. I draw upon Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Counseling techniques for my counseling style. Also, because life can get very heavy, I really enjoy using humor with those I work with when possible. I utilize the messaging feature regularly with those who choose to counsel with me and I check in with my clients often. I encourage all clients to utilize every resource available to them to get them where they want to be in life. I like to provide audio messages to my clients that may include a prayer for them, a Scripture that relates to their current needs, or even a Christian devotional reading that I believe would be helpful to their current life needs if they are agreeable. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Briarcliff Manor area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Briarcliff Manor therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Briarcliff Manor due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Briarcliff Manor may not take health insurance, some in the state of New York may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of New York you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Briarcliff Manor?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Briarcliff Manor therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Briarcliff Manor therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Briarcliff Manor therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in NY, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 10510 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Briarcliff Manor counselor?

Before seeing your Briarcliff Manor therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Briarcliff Manor therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Briarcliff Manor licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Briarcliff Manor counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Briarcliff Manor, New York can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Briarcliff Manor has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
