Hello and thank you for visiting my BetterHelp profile! Here you can take a moment to learn a bit about me and perhaps get a feel for my style. I am certified as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), having earned my Masters of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. As with the majority of LCSWs today, my approach is eclectic. That being said, I carry a strong belief in the importance of early attachments. My therapeutic style is framed by Objects Relations Theory, which emphasizes the importance of initial relationships. An “object” here is the primary caregiver, most frequently one or both parents. One’s earliest relationship with his or her object(s) has an undeniable influence on the development of self-esteem, which influences relating with every other individual as well as to the self. I have seen this in all of my clients, young and old, regardless of diagnosis. I do believe the effects of these attachments are irrefutable, however I recognize change is always possible, and in many cases necessary. It is also important for me to emphasize my experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I believe the majority of humans alive today have “borderline tendencies,” which translates to “difficulty regulating emotions in interpersonal relationships.” I have become familiar with the stigma carried by many against this diagnosis and therefore relate to these clients without unnecessary judgment. Experience has shown me that I work well with those struggling with regulation of their interpersonal relationships, whether diagnosed or not. I also have experience with client substance abuse/addiction and understand every person’s ultimate need to love and be loved. Presently, I provide psychotherapeutic counseling to adults with traumatic brain injury. These humans now contend with regulating their emotions, similarly to addicts and those with BPD, and can benefit from the intensive approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Finally, I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and am passionate about yogic values as they relate to present day therapy. I am experienced in promoting body awareness and in leading meditations. If interested, just ask :) (If our schedules do not seem to align, please write to me and ask for a more fitting time. My schedule can be flexible. Do not let this be the reason we do not work together!)

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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 New York Mills?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a New York Mills counselor?

Before seeing your New York Mills 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. New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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 New York Mills 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 New York Mills, 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.

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.
