I’m a person in long-term recovery, which means I’ve been substance-free since July 13th, 2016. My experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating eventually became a substance use disorder—and ultimately led me to a deeper purpose in the counseling field. I understand the weight of isolation, low self-worth, and the struggle to feel “okay.” If you’re dealing with anxiety, self-image issues, substance use, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, I offer not just professional tools—but personal understanding. I can help you feel less alone.
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.
I specialize in holistic and medication free approach to psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help minimize and relieve symptoms of anxiety, chronic insomnia, grief, family issues, stress related to work.
I have been in practice for over 20 years and have experience working with many of life's challenges. I combine practical strategies with deeper self exploration for insight and personal growth. My approach is based on exploration of oneself and our thoughts and motives with an interest in Jungian psychology, Buddhism, spirituality and Mindfulness. I have also coached those in the corporate and academic worlds to plan goals and find direction. I'm also an artist and like to explore the creative process.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of healthcare experience and a strong medical background, currently providing psychiatric care in an outpatient clinical setting. My experience helps me recognize the vital link between mental and physical health, allowing me to deliver thoughtful, comprehensive care to my patients.
I focus on treating individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, burnout, and mood disorders through thorough psychiatric assessments, medication management, and supportive therapy. My aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected.
I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it is collaborative and personalized. I work closely with each client to develop a tailored treatment plan that promotes emotional well-being, stability, and an improved quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Poughkeepsie
Finding the right therapist in Poughkeepsie starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Poughkeepsie and the surrounding Mid-Hudson Valley have a smaller pool of providers compared to New York City, which can make the search feel more limited. Virtual sessions expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed New York providers who may be based elsewhere in the state. Many therapists in the area offer both in-person and virtual appointments, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and comfort level.
Therapy in Poughkeepsie can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
