I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and board-certified creative arts therapist helping people with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress at work or home. I am a big believer in the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. I provide emotional support and a safe environment and aim to work with empathy and warmth to help generate new perspectives, aim at a sense of wholeness, and restore balance and hope. I also encourage my clients to think deeply about their lives and to take actions to create the change they want to see.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to alleviate symptoms and a psychodynamic approach to explore attachments and relationships. I am also licensed to use non-verbal forms of exploration such as art therapy and have an interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have been practicing for 10 years.
I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. This experience includes 12 years as the Commissioner of Mental Health in a county in New York. This work included responsibility for mental health, alcoholism, mental retatardation (as it was called at the time), forensic mental health and family court.
I specialize in short term treatment or CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with Adults.
I also believe I have the experience to work with women of color navigating the work field. I've written a couple books re this experience.
I'm active in my community as well as living a healthy lifestyle. I also love to travel.
I'm a Clinical Social Worker. My clinical objective includes empowering individuals and families to cultivate their"Inner Harmony Hub". The most important ingredient involves clients exercising self-compassion in a judgement free therapeutic space.
I grew up in a family deeply rooted in the human services field—both of my parents dedicated their careers to helping others. Their compassion and commitment had a big influence on me, and it’s what ultimately shaped my own path. Before becoming a counselor, I spent several years working in law enforcement, where I gained a deep appreciation for the resilience and complexity of people’s lives. That experience inspired me to return to school and focus on helping others in a different way.
Hi, I’m Victoria Nielsen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or simply looking for support as you navigate the day-to-day challenges of life, I want you to feel comfortable bringing your whole self into the room.
I work with young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, big or overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. I also enjoy working with individuals who consider themselves highly sensitive or who experience emotions and the world around them deeply. Sometimes there’s a specific concern bringing you to therapy, and other times you may simply feel that something isn’t quite right or that you want to better understand yourself.
Clients have described me as warm, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to. I also believe there is room for humor and moments of lightness in therapy, even when we’re working through difficult things. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself, feel comfortable being honest, and know that you’ll be met without judgment.
I am a lover of learning new things. I have BS in health administration and a MS in marriage and family therapy. I believe in second chances, taking assitance when you need and thinking in a strength based way is important. I am also, a mother, wife and avid crafter in my spear time. I come from an enormous carribbean family. Lastly, I am a dog lover and love socializing with people who have similar interest as me.
I firmly believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.
In therapy I provide an environment that will allow you to express yourself freely and openly. I am genuine and supportive, but can be direct and challenge you to adapt your thinking when necessary. I strive for my clients to feel more focused, emotionally regulated, and confident. I work with adults who are suffering from anxiety including OCD and panic, as well as depression, grief, and relationship issues.
I am Shari Weiss, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist with a decade of experience providing evidence based care. My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I work with individuals and families across the lifespan who are struggling with anxiety, mood, or life transitions and are ready to better understand themselves and feel more in control of their lives.
Great to meet you. I work with women, young adults, teens, and families who may look like they’re holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, mentally exhausted, or stuck internally.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, ADHD, stress, burnout, depression, overthinking, and life transitions. My goal is to help you better understand what’s going on, feel more emotionally balanced, and create a plan that feels realistic and manageable.
I’m a triple board-certified psychiatrist in pediatrics, psychiatry, and child & adolescent psychiatry.
Do you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck? Maybe you're navigating a major life transition, healing from religious or relational trauma, or struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. If so, now might be the time to reach out for support. I specialize in helping adults process life’s challenges, break free from guilt and shame, and build an authentic and fulfilling life. Taking that first step toward healing can be daunting, but booking a free consultation today might be the best decision you can make.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fulton
Finding therapists in Fulton starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, training, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Fulton, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search to more therapists licensed in New York, while in-person sessions may be a better fit if you prefer meeting in an office nearby. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s style, session format, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fulton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person options. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
