Ahxia Stanton

Hello! My name is Ahxia (ah-jah) Stanton, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at SUNY New Paltz.

I provide holistic psychotherapy with a focus on BIPOC/ WOC, Couples, and young adults. My experience entails providing direct counseling to those struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-image. I also work with couples dealing with infidelity, newlyweds, premarital and other attachment issues that may strain a relationship.

My counseling style, especially in the beginning stages of therapy, is very laid back and more focused on getting to know each other and building a relationship because I feel it is the most important thing for making therapy successful.

My priority is to learn about & honor your experiences in a safe & empathetic environment to allow healing & growth. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities and tailor my approach to meet the needs of each client but I have a strong foundation of CBT & DBT.

I am here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a place to be open and honest without judgment. While I do think coping skills and learning ways to manage/ alleviate symptoms are important to therapy and will eventually come as our work together continues, I prefer to spend more time understanding you rather than jumping straight into "fixing" things. My hope is for you to feel empowered and trust in your ability to manage whatever comes your way!
