Find a Therapist in Springfield, New York.

I use a flexible model of psychotherapy which is designed to meet the needs of different patients with unique qualities and personality characteristics. I use a supportive approach and believe that the relationship between patient and therapist is the key to success. I often use reflective listening techniques to accurately understand the clients emotional state. I also use cogntive behavioral techneques to help clients develop effectgve coping skills in order to develop a sense of mastery of theiir problems.

Psychotherapy is not anything to be scared of, or intimidated about. Seeking out a therapist or being in therapy isn't an admission of weakness or some kind of character flaw. Therapy is a collaborative process and a partnership with someone who is trained in and experienced with facilitating personal growth. And in this process, you are in the driver's seat. Our minds and emotions and relationships involve complicated machinery just like our bodies do and in the same way a medical doctor helps you stay physically healthy, Psychotherapy is designed to help you be and stay mentally and socially strong, and continually in a position to take on life's many challenges as your best self.

Psychotherapy is not just diagnosing and giving you a pill (medications can be helpful and I am not discrediting them!). Psychotherapy is a process that requires you to want to be there, and I’m down if you are! I am a humanistic art therapist who focuses on the individual in front of me and pulls in interventions and strategies from a variety of evidence based practices and approaches. Psychotherapy with me is about forming trust and safety within a session. I value authenticity, collaboration, and connection making. I will help guide you in your journey to help you learn how to apply your understanding, strengths, abilities, and any revelations to everyday life.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
