Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Endicott, NY covered by Aetna

I have a passion for helping adults with ADHD understand how their neurodiverse brains work and translate that into self understanding and solutions for every day life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing as a Psychotherapist, I believe in prioritizing mental health while also being aware of the mind-body connection. I have been practicing for almost 20 years in the community, local school districts, as well as in private practice. I am shifting my focus to my private practice to help meet the needs of those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other life transitions in all ages of life (youth and adults).

I truly look forward to working with you!

My motto is: "Helping People Help Themselves to a Better Life. I support people with a smile and a reassuring description of my skills and abilities. I reinforce my respect for their choices as we engage in therapy together. I work to create a safe space for clients to address their issues.

I'm a RegisteredPlay Therapist & mom of 3 boys and 3 step-sons! We all need a little help sometimes and that's ok. After SU I continued my therapy education through intense trainings in Multicultural Systemic Therapy (Dr. Ken Hardy, LMFT), Suicide Safer Care (NYSOMH), and Play Therapy. I am Certified in AutPlay Therapy, a neurodiversity affirming family-based play therapy. I have worked in school-based play therapy for several years. I love working with children and their families to create loving, lasting connections.

I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.

At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

Whether you're facing a crisis, struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, or are feeling stuck in patterns that are holding you back, you don't have to go through it alone. Our work begins wherever you're at. I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents and adults with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic illness, behavioral challenges, ADHD,relationship issues, and challenges adjusting to life changes. We’ll explore your emotional patterns, relationships, and the ways you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings—so you can build flexibility, resilience, and lasting change.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience. I’ve spent most of my career in community mental health, where I’ve gained broad, diverse clinical experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. Because communication is such a vital part of effective therapy, my background in communication strongly enhances my clinical practice and the work I do with clients.

Our human experience can carry trauma, and I bring both clinical training and real-world experience in trauma informed care from health care and higher education. I support people in moving toward health-based emotional and mental well-being. My work integrates clinical knowledge with embodied, brain-based approaches to healing. Light-hearted and warm, I deeply value each person's unique story and inner world. I work primarily with adults, navigating phobias, anxiety, chronic nervous system dysregulation, relational repair, challenging life transitions, and persistent survival patterns. I continually expand my knowledge through innovative and evidence-based tools.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step to improved mental health. My name is Stephanie and I have been a social worker for the past 13 years. I have since had much experience working with adolescents and adults with both medical and mental health challenges. I have also worked closely with new moms on many of the challenges they face postpartum and working through those challenges together. My experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings allow me to connect with clients at various stages to help overcome challenges.

I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.
