Hello and Welcome! My name is Vienna and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. If you are reading this, you have taken the first step to making positive changes in your life! I work with individuals ages 18 and up incorporating Jungian techniques, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Interventions and Existential Therapy into my sessions. I come from a holistic perspective to help my clients connect with their mind, body, heart, and spirit. I also identify myself as a spiritual person. I enjoy helping my clients to connect with their own intuition and whatever they define as a higher power to help guide them through the seasons of their life. I believe that each of us are unique and we each have something special to offer the world. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or other concerns, my mission is to assist you in becoming your truest self and being proud to be you. I am passionate about helping my clients conquer their fears, love themselves for who they truly are, and live their best life! I know that beginning therapy can be intimidating. If you are unsure about starting therapy, I encourage you to call for a free phone consult so I can answer any questions you may have. I look forward to getting to know YOU, for exactly who you are, and to working with you to achieve your goals! At this time, I am offering both telehealth and in-person appointments in my office in Poughkeepsie, NY. I also offer walk-and-talk and nature therapy.
Upon completing my fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center, I've devoted my career to Pediatric Psychology, with a specialization in young adult (18 - 25) issues: stress management, ADHD, anxiety, depression, social difficulties, academic issues, identity development, and career planning. Call anytime! I know how much courage it takes to reach out for help. We can schedule a consultation right away to talk about your path to wellness.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just need a safe space to explore your emotions, I offer a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment where you can heal and grow. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on practical solutions and emotional support. For over 30 years, I have been working together with individuals and families to help strengthen their ability to cope with stressful and challenging times.
Therapy approach A relationship between you and your therapist is a primary ingredient fostering meaningful change and personal growth. My approach is warm, open, and empathic. I listen deeply and engage actively as is helpful. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be your authentic self, free from judgment. You decide whether this is a comfortable setting for you to grow. I am a psychotherapist (LCSW) with a PhD and advanced training from a four-year psychotherapy institute. While I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan, a majority of my clients have been college age through young career adults. They come from diverse cultural, gender, ethnic, religious, and spiritual backgrounds. I have supported them through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, often related to issues of this age group: life transitions, family issues, career decisions, dating, parenting, identity, and loss. I draw from a psychodynamic perspective to understand your unique story, while incorporating therapeutic approaches that seem to us to be most helpful for you. Therapy focus I see therapy as a journey we take together. You bring your unique situation and goals. I provide travel skills based on having taken journeys with others. I have never, however, been to your desired destination. You determine the direction and duration of therapy; only you can decide what to focus on and when you feel ready to move forward. While present-day concerns may be paramount, exploring your past can provide valuable insight into your current situation. I interact with you to ensure I understand what you are saying and to help you more fully express your thoughts and feelings. I use a variety of techniques to assist in therapy including role play, homework, journaling, naming aspects of the self, labeling thoughts that are helpful or not to increase your skills in desired areas and decrease those that prevent progress to your goal. All feelings including tears, anger, joy, and laughter can be part of our work together. Communication style I like a relaxed atmosphere that allows us to communicate easily. I am curious. I like to listen. I like to smile but I am also serious. I reflect back to you what I think you are telling me, ask some questions to ensure that I more fully understand what you are saying, encourage you to delve deeper, and wonder with you about when your goals and your actions do not seem aligned. I get to know you not only by what you say but by feelings that may emanate from you. I am comfortable with a broad range of feelings. I support strength and empowerment. I encourage you to let me know what interaction with me is helpful to you and what is not helpful. My goal is to offer a compassionate, thoughtful space where you feel heard and supported. Therapy Goals My goal for you is that you can live fully in the present, understand aspects of your past as they impact the present, and move forward on a path that is best for you. You can let go of people, situations and thought patterns that are not helpful. You can seek and find people and situations that will support you. You can find satisfaction in life and laughter even though everything will not be perfect and parts of life could remain difficult. Our first session After an initial conversation to help us get to know each other, our work together begins. You share the concerns that brought you to therapy, current life situations, and relevant history. I seek to understand what you are telling me as you begin to develop goals for therapy. You let me know how I could be most helpful to you. We begin to explore avenues to your goals and how to measure the progress you seek. This conversation expands over sessions as you feel more comfortable in therapy and as aspects of your life become clearer to you. At the end of this initial session, you can assess whether we could work well together.
College can be a time of exploration and fun but also a time full of stress and adjustment. Many people I work with have challenges with family or friends they need to resolve, while others struggle with maintaining structure due to low motivation or mental health barriers. I aim to help people find their inner strengths & resolve whatever issues are hindering their progress in life.
