As a licensed therapist (LMSW), I work with people across the age spectrum.
It takes courage and commitment to oneself to reach out for help. I recognize this and believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship itself in creating lasting change - the foundation of which includes empathy, collaboration, and curiosity.
There are many reasons to seek therapy. Some reasons may include navigating big life changes, handling the grief that comes from the loss of a loved one, uncovering the impact of past experiences, addressing anxiety and depression, and dealing with challenging family situations. The tools used can be tailored to the individual.
I lean towards cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. These tools can help empower clients to alter detrimental thought patterns and behaviors, cultivating healthier habits, coping mechanisms and behaviors, in addition to increasing awareness and insight.
I work at Synergy Counseling Associates in Albany, NY. They have their own intake process. To explore starting this work, contact Synergy Counseling directly by clicking HERE.
