Therapists in Watervliet, NY

Hello, and congratulations on taking the first step in improving your well-being! I am a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families since 2010. I’ve worked in many settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and substance use facilities. My style is understanding, non-judgmental, nurturing, and supportive. You deserve to be seen, heard, and supported! I believe in creating a space where we can have difficult conversations, work on resolving issues, and collaborate on care plans based your personal needs and experiences. My approach is a mix of holistic and solution-focused. This means that I believe in the mind-body connection and encourage anyone working with me to explore mindfulness and meditation. I also believe in a future-focused, goal-directed approach to therapy, and incorporate evidence-based practices in my work (such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy). Finding the right therapist is an important first step in therapy. I invite you to send a Live Chat request so that we can take a quick 10-15 minutes to get to know each other and see if I’m a good fit for you! My schedule is flexible and will suit most routines whether you prefer early morning (7am) sessions, have time at lunch (11am - 1pm), or prefer sessions later in the evening (6-8pm). I usually check messages a few times a day, Monday through Saturday. I offer messaging, live chat, phone sessions and video sessions. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so feel free to message me! I look forward to working with you!

My name is Laurie and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State. I have been very fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings , in my 20 years in the field, which has allowed me to see how complicated life can become and how wonderful. I have worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit, hospital medical units, Neonatal Intensive Care units, I have worked with adolescents in residential care and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, families with end of life stressors and just folks who need a friendly ear. I am familiar with the agency systems that although they are meant to help, sometimes add to the confusion. I am an interactive therapist, who also demonstrates empathy and caring while working to empower you to create the life you deserve. I am solution focused and yet compassionate. I feel that the greatest gift we can all receive, is to be heard, to be able to identify our deepest feelings and to express those feelings without fear of judgement; to not feel invisible; to feel like we matter. I believe that ultimately, we know what we need in order to make a better life for ourselves but I also know obstacles will jump in and try to prevent that happiness. This is when we all may simply need some need some outside guidance for the journey . And that is how I see this therapeutic relationship; an opportunity to uncover the obstacles that get in your way of living a beautiful life. So I will frequently return to the concept of Self Love , why it is vitally important and how we can get there. Don't let that scare you! But it is the key. So, I will be your mirror. Here to reflect back to you what you may already know and perhaps to shine a light on something new you never thought of before. I tend to speak in very plain language, choosing to describe and explore feelings rather than label them. I am more concerned that we can communicate clearly and you feel you have been heard. If this kind of team play interests you , let have a chat. And with that said, the development of that team relationship is of the utmost importance. Professionally, I feel that in order to make changes in old patterns, one must commit to the process. It is important that if you wish to change some of the suffering you have in your life, you will need to make your session times a priority. Scheduling a session weekly or bi weekly is ideal. It is the interaction between therapist and client that is most beneficial , which is why I feel that the most effective way to conduct a session is by either video or phone with a live chat being the last choice. Dealing with issues and concerns in the moment is what this work is about. A back and forth dialogue is so necessary for you to get a sense of who I am and for me to learn more about you! Yes, it can be intimidating but terrific as well. I hope you take the plunge and make a really bold leap right now!! Let's work together.
