I have over 20 years of experience as an Expressive Arts Therapist working with adults, families and adolescents focusing on trauma, anxiety, loss and life transitions. As a former educator I help you understand the Why, as an artist I use creativity and mindfulness at your level of comfort to offer tools for you to heal. Always led by compassion and enthusiasm for helping you create wellness throughout your life. For more information; www.ckcreativwellness.com
I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".
Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with eight years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My primary focus has been helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I aspire to empower my clients while also building a safe space for self-exploration and growth. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the healing journey and helping clients find freedom from distressing symptoms.
Welcome! I am a seasoned therapist who can offer practical and compassionate assistance to you on your life journey. Together we can create a space for you to heal and grow stronger and more resilient.
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.
If you’re carrying more than you feel you should, or moving through life feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don’t have to hold it all alone. I offer a compassionate, non‐judgmental space where women, individuals, and couples can explore what’s hurting and what’s possible. I earned my Master of Social Work from NYU and draw from evidence‐based approaches—including ACT and CBT—to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, body image concerns, and more.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Troy, NY
Searching for therapists in Troy starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Troy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their approach to care.
In a smaller city like Troy, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across New York. Some people prefer meeting in an office nearby, while others choose virtual appointments to better fit their schedule. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare specialties, session style, and practical details in one place.
Therapy in Troy can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who take insurance, are accepting new clients, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can browse therapists in Troy, review bios, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
