Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Poughkeepsie, NY covered by United Healthcare

I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

I’m Rachel Schimmel, a licensed clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience specializing in anxiety and couples therapy. I work with individuals and partners who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from themselves or each other. My approach is focused on helping you understand what’s really going on beneath the anxiety, frustration, or resentment.

I offer medication management along with supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and guidance on lifestyle changes to promote overall mental wellness.

My goal is to help you achieve stability, build resilience, and improve your quality of life. I look forward to working with you on your mental health journey.

My name is Janet O’Hare. In my psychotherapy practice, I work with people of all ages and many backgrounds, with all kinds of goals and concerns. These often include:

· Addressing worries and stresses

· Navigating knotty problems in life

· Working on relationships

· Welcoming a new child into the family

· Dealing with a serious illness

· Handling a major career challenge

· Managing trauma-related issues

I am especially interested in the zone where the waves of the soul crash on the rocks of the body. I have a great deal of experience with trauma of many types, in many degrees of severity. I have also worked extensively with, and have a special love for, new families, mothers and childbearing. I am honored to be present at the end of life. I am a psychodynamic feminist and am deeply interested in history and in political and moral movements.

Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.
