Darlene Schmitt

I am a licensed mental health therapist in New York State with over 30 years of professional counseling experience working in a variety of settings. I have been the associate director of a university counseling center for 20 years, and have a passion for working with college students/young adults. While I do not have one particular area of expertise, I have had great success helping clients better manage anxiety symptoms, cope with depression, and learn effective ways to manage their emotions.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

You can expect to be met with genuine unconditional positive regard as we work at your pace in meeting your therapy goals. I believe therapy happens in and outside of the session, so I invite my clients to do "homework" to strengthen what they are learning in our sessions.
