Therapists in Savona, NY

Hi, my name is Sheila Flipse. My passion is to come along side individuals who are hurting and struggling and walk with them through their journey to health and wholeness in a kind and compassionate manner. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Nevada, and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I am also a national certified counselor. Born in Liverpool, England I moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada as a child. I moved the United States to attend college and graduate school. In 2000 I became an American citizen. My areas of specialty include grief and loss, depression, anxiety and stress. While I was a college professor, I developed a class entitled, Death and Dying that has proved helpful to many people over the last few years. I love to help people build a healthy self concept and develop confidence. I have over 30 years of counseling experience. My professional life has included working with the homeless, elderly, prison, college and military populations. I have lots of experience with relationship and marital concerns. In my spare time I enjoy traveling (62 countries so far!), having fun with my Shichon, Ozzie, playing board games and volunteering for community activities. My approach is very much cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Together we work to find out what is working in the client's life and develop those skills and techniques. Then I work at helping the client become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking patterns so that they can begin to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in more effective ways. I offer video chat, phone calls or live text chat. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. I do ask that if you schedule an appointment with me, that you keep the appointment. By canceling, it may create unavailability for someone who really needs to chat. As a recent widow, it may be necessary for my dog Ozzie to be present during our counseling sessions as he is adjusting to his loss as well. It would be my honor to work with you.

I am a Ph.D. level therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia and New York. I have 30 years of experience in the field of social work, human services, and counseling. I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-II). My therapeutic approach involves “meeting the person where they are.” I am committed to helping clients understand their life challenges and assisting them in working toward reducing or resolving the internal or external challenges. I believe treatment is successful when clients actively develop their treatment goals. I have worked with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress issues, relationship issues, parent-child conflict/parenting problems, and trauma. I provide services using a holistic approach throughout the entire treatment process. All treatment modalities address the mind, body, and spirit. My integrative treatment philosophy considers the client’s biological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. I look forward to meeting you to discuss your “journey.”

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York State with primary experience working with adults.

I believe in treating anyone with respect, compassion and a lack of judgement. In my work I utilize a combination of a cognitive-behavioral, compassion focused and psychodynamic approach. I believe the client is the center of therapy and plan to work with you in addressing the concerns you present. Together we will work to identify challenges you experience, barriers you are facing and work to develop effective and healthy coping skills. I will be available through a variety of modalities throughout this journey together so that we can find a way to best meet your needs and goals. I am looking forward to working with you and seeing what we can help you accomplish together!

Hello there and welcome to BetterHelp! Thank you for reading about me and the work that I do. I am Dr. Lusa Hung and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist serving clients who reside in California, Washington, and New York. I received my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degree at Argosy University/Honolulu in 2005, with a specialization in Diversity. I have been a licensed psychologist since 2008. Psychology has always been a passion of mine in some shape or form. Helping people live their most vibrant and fulfilling lives with meaning and purpose is my aim. I have 12 years of clinical experience working with culturally diverse populations in international and domestic settings. I would describe my approach to be mindfulness-based with a blend of cognitive behavioral strategies, a person-centered stance, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I have expertise treating a wide range of psychological and life challenges spanning the spectrum of depression, trauma, anxiety, life adjustments, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and improving health behaviors, serving people across the lifespan and in different clinical settings. I have served individuals in the U.S., China and Germany and have come to understand how universal and connected all human experiences are.  At the same time, I also appreciate how each person has a unique way of living these shared experiences. I am mindful about any contributions from the individual's social-cultural background, taking time to see from that person's perspective and not my own assumptions. My clients are my biggest therapy teachers, helping me balance theory with what really works in real life. Not only do my clients learn from me, I also learn from them, both as my clients and as fellow human beings. Therapy is a dance between the client and the therapist, sometimes the client leads, sometimes they follow. The journey is not always pleasant or easy but with openness and courage, you will find that things will become more clear and you can then set your intention and take purposeful steps to live life in the way you actually want. I believe that the therapist can provide guidance, support and expertise within a unique and safe relationship and can shape the conversations to promote the changes that the client wants to make. I help people reframe challenging and often painful events in their lives so that not only does the frame change, so does the picture. Turning pain and loss into wisdom, guilt into gratitude, and shifting from avoidance to awareness are ways that can be helpful. I wish you luck on your journey of well-being. I hope I can be of help to you. Be well!
