Therapists in Vermont

Having a safe, nonjudgmental space, to be yourself, and to reflect, discuss, and learn about your reactions, decisions, and challenges can lead to improved well-being. My psychotherapy practice creates that space in a hopeful, compassionate atmosphere. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Between your counseling sessions, you are encouraged to reflect and put new skills and insights into practice. I can weave traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness practices to relieve symptoms, promote self-care, make intentional decisions, and grow.

A strong sense of curiosity and compassion guides Sarah's work. Her experience with individuals and couples spans many areas, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), life transitions, and grief. She primarily works with adults, professionals, and couples tailoring her approach to suit the unique needs of each individual.

I believe connection is at the root of healing. Attunement is an essential component of connection and represents the ability to accurately perceive and respond to the needs of self and others. Factors such as: trauma, distorted thinking, reliance on technology, cultural ideals, family of origin values and beliefs, and community messages interrupt our natural ability to attune and we often feel disconnected from others as a result. As a therapist, I work with individuals who are interested in nurturing attunement to improve their relationship to self, body, and food.

Accepting new patients- My therapy style is flexible and client-centered. I believe that therapy is successful when the client-therapist relationship is strong and the treatment approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client. I have found that the ability to apply different theories and to take an approach that ensures the best possible therapeutic outcome.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience working with children, teens and young adults. My approach is collaborative, holistic, client centered, and strengths based. I work with preteens, adolescents and adults with an array of concerns such as everyday life stressors, communication issues, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, divorce, depression, social skills, and self-esteem. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions in order to foster personal growth and healing.

Given the level of community and world uncertainty, you may be feeling increased anxiety, depression, conflict, confusion and isolation. How do you cope with such enormous uncertainty? Working effectively with your mind and reactivity is essential to finding balance, strength, comfort and connection. My focus in therapy is to listen deeply to your inner wisdom, express more fully who you are, develop skills to accomplish this and make choices that further your positive intentions. Life provides challenges at the best of times; we need support when we are most vulnerable. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore what is possible.

You want the best for yourself (or your child). The story you tell of your experiences deserves to be heard. We all deserve to have space to be deeply understood at any age. It's my desire to provide understanding; listening that is so healing. I work with children, teens, adults to build lasting skills and resources for them. I value working with individuals that are learning to navigate their identities in an overstimulating world. Clients and I work together to process, and build skills in order to meet their treatment goals and create enduring healing. I have a deep love for Vermont and my aim is to support our community.

Sometimes we’re not sure how we got to where we are. We find ourselves caught in patterns – of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships – that are hurtful, unsatisfying, or no longer serve us. Sometimes we treat ourselves harshly, make choices that are not in line with our values, or attempt to quiet or hide certain parts of ourselves, our pain, and our experiences. In a collaborative therapeutic space, I hope to create an environment where you can show up as your whole self.

My name is Zelorie, for the past eight years, I have been serving at-risk youth with mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs, as well as, working to help equip parents with tools and insight to navigate the challenges of parenting. In addition to working with at risk youth I have worked with many individuals struggling with anxiety and past traumas. With an eclectic approach, I work to help engage children, families and individuals to enhance their capacity for self-awareness, self-regulation and increase overall emotional intelligence and social emotional functioning.

I have been providing therapeutic services to children, teens, adults and families since 2004. I strive to create a nurturing and safe environment in which individuals can be supported in their efforts to change and grow. I see clients for a variety of reasons including depression, anxiety, trauma and life changes, etc. I offer a place where your voice will be heard.

Is there something you want to change, or accept more fully in your life? While we can become stuck in the past, or worried about the future, it is possible to cultivate greater ease, self compassion and presence. As human beings we are connected in that each of us experiences pain and suffering, yet we are also capable of great joy, growth and resiliency. While often it is our tendency to avoid or push away that which causes us distress, it is in bringing it forward and truly acknowledging what is, that eventually leads to greater freedom.

Too much stress with juggling too many things right now? Are you experiencing a life-changing event and decisions are keeping you awake at night? Do you feel your life is a roller coaster of emotions that you are having difficulty managing? If you want to live life on your terms without self-doubt or second-guessing, love yourself more & feel more confident there's hope. As the expert of your life there are times you might need extra help to reclaim those parts of you that have been lost or hidden for too long. As your guide I help you reconnect with the inner you who really does know the way to living a healthy and enjoyable life.

I believe each of us is a unique work of art in progress. Therapy is a process of discovering how your deepest self wants to be expressed in the world and then finding the inner resources to live that out. During darker periods of life, we might question the meaning of things, feel flawed or broken, and long for what’s out of reach. These times can signify a loss of connection to our innermost selves and be a call to a new way of living. Our work together will explore pains and patterns that continue to show themselves, family and social systems that shape self-concept, and inner workings of personality that make you who you are.

Are you a woman who is seeking more harmony and balance in your life? Someone who has already engaged in some personal internal work but you are still finding yourself struggling with patterns and beliefs that are keeping you stuck? Are you finding yourself desiring healthier more fulfilling relationships that help you to grow? Are you looking for support on your spiritual journey? Do you have interest in working with alternative holistic approaches such as Somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems parts work? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please reach out, I'd love to connect and offer my support.

Are you experiencing chronic financial stress but cannot figure out why because on paper, things look like they "should" work out just fine? Financial therapy is really not about the numbers. Rather, it's about how to think, feel, communicate, and behave differently with money to improve overall well-being through evidence-based practices and interventions. If you find yourself in repetitive self-sabotaging behaviors with money, it's possible that your unconscious beliefs may be contributing to that pattern.

My work as an Emotional Support Life Coach is enhanced by my background in psychotherapy and nursing. It brings a progressive approach to self-healing.

I specialize in treating trauma due to abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and difficult relationships.

I believe strongly in the power of self-care, self-compassion, and setting boundaries, and that these are often missing elements when one is struggling.
