Hi, I’m Amy Gelles. I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years, with an MSW from Columbia University—but more importantly, I genuinely love helping people figure themselves out.
I didn’t end up here by accident. I started as a social worker in underserved communities, worked my way up to CEO of a major behavioral health agency... and then made a very intentional pivot back to what I love most: sitting with people (in person or on Zoom) and helping them to feel better.
So many of us are walking around thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “Why do I feel this way?” ...and not getting great answers.
That’s where I come in.
I help you connect the dots, understand the patterns you’ve been stuck in, and actually shift them—so life starts to feel easier, clearer, and a lot happier - that is what I pride myself on doing.
I bring depth, insight, and a wide lens from years of experience—but also humor, honesty, and a very human approach.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with adolescents, their families, and young adults. Ultimately I meet you where you are. This may include focusing on skill building and coping, processing past and current experiences, problem solving, or being creative.
Hi, I’m James. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist developing positive client relationships since 2005.
Helping you reduce anxiety levels with breathwork and improve physical health with mindfulness and meditation techniques.
I’ve learned cognitive-behavioral treatments to assist you with overcoming addiction and anger management. And (how to) provide in-depth talk and mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
At Rusk Therapy, each relationship between therapist and patient is individual and implements a variety of treatments. Once a course of action is agreed upon, we’ll approach therapy by incorporating the whole mind-body approach.
That includes the relationship between mental, emotional, and physical health, along with incorporating nutrition, supplements, and exercise. Working together, you can create an improved lifestyle that supports your best life.
The process of a successful therapeutic relationship depends on your effort and our compatibility, along with clear boundaries and feeling safe.
I believe it’s essential to find the right therapist, and doing this takes a phone call, a first session, or a few sessions. I welcome you to schedule a complimentary call to explore a possible therapeutic relationship.
I'm very experienced, dedicated, flexible in terms of days and hours, and able to be both supportive and appropriately challenging when needed. I especially enjoy working with couples and families as I can "hear" all parties and focus on helping each person speak their truth safely and also to listen. Professionally, I have an LCSW, authored or coauthored 4 books, 3 with HarperCollins and W. W. Norton. I've produced dozens of award-winning videos addressing addiction and relapse prevention widely used in treatment and corrections. I also have raised 3 children and served as both a foster- and adoptive- parent. Above all, I have integrity, a depth of experience, and good humor.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Poughkeepsie, NY
Finding therapists in Poughkeepsie starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life transition. As you compare Poughkeepsie therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Poughkeepsie, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to filter by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Poughkeepsie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists in Poughkeepsie, NY who take insurance, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and offer virtual or in-person sessions. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
