I have over 20 years of experience as an Expressive Arts Therapist working with adults, families and adolescents focusing on trauma, anxiety, loss and life transitions.

Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".
Hi — I’m John, and my mission is to help you get out of your own way. I earned my Master’s from SUNY Albany’s School of Social Welfare and have spent over a decade working with adults, teens, and families from every background — from New York to Oregon and back again. Together, we’ll challenge the worries, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back — so you can clear a path toward the life you actually want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Schenectady
Finding the right therapist in Schenectady starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Schenectady-area providers include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), 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 feel like a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in Schenectady or virtual visits from home, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's specialty aligns with your goals. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions and get a sense of their style before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Schenectady can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see estimated session costs before you book. 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 both your clinical needs and your budget.
