Therapists in Nyack, NY
Nyack is best known for the landmark court case which determined that property owners must disclose if a house is haunted to the prospective buyers. While some homes may not really be haunted, certainly the past can come back to haunt you. You may be haunted by life events, people of the past, or your own past decisions.
If your past is haunting you and causing you to be unproductive in the present, you should talk to someone to help you cope and move past it. Nyack-area counselors are available to offer such assistance. Contact a licensed therapist to get started coping with your past today.

My name is Kiernan Hamilton, and I am a licensed clinical social worker, with the R psychotherapy designation for the state of New York. I have been in this field of work since 2006, starting off working with families with youth that had behaviors which put them at risk for placement outside of the home. I then worked in community mental health dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, severe mental illness, trauma, and family issues. I also supervised new social workers to develop their own practice. From there, I did program development for our local hospice care, as well as grief counseling and social work roles. Most recently, I have grown as a private practitioner. I work with primarily teens and adults on issues related to relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress management. I ONLY DO LIVE MESSAGING/CHAT SESSIONS

I believe in the strength and resilience of the human spirit. We all have times in our lives when we encounter difficulties and need a supportive person to help guide us back to a path of healing and growth. Maybe you've experienced a recent event in your life and you are not sure how to cope with it. Or maybe something has been bothering you for quite a long time and you feel like now is the time to talk to somebody about it. I can help you find that inner strength you have so you can discover just how resilient you truly are. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's Degree in Counseling and Community Psychology. I've worked in the field for the past 20 years, and I really enjoy what I do. I’ve always been an empathetic person, even when I was a kid. I started my career working with individuals with serious, long-term mental health challenges in a psychiatric rehabilitation focused outpatient continuing day treatment program. I also worked in a home-based therapy program for individuals with HIV and mental health needs. Later I worked with children and adults receiving foster care. Other experience includes working with individuals with trauma backgrounds and, also, the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition to mental health counseling, I have worked in the field of vocational and rehabilitation counseling in both New York and Florida for 14 years. As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I understand the challenges that people with disabilities face. It has been my privilege to have played a role in counseling hundreds of individuals with unique ABILITIES in their journey toward self-sufficiency and success. As a vocational counselor, I am well-versed in educational and career coaching. I can help you discover the potential within you and help you make the vocational and educational choices that are best for you. My approach is warm and friendly, and I draw from life experience, Eastern philosophy, and solid counseling theories to help you overcome whatever may be holding you back. Counseling modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I will tailor our time together based on your specific needs. Whatever you are going through, I am confident that you can get through it. I look forward to standing by your side and seeing you grow and shine!
