From the very beginning, with sensitivity and compassion, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space in which you can express thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires that you may feel unable to share elsewhere. I believe that constructive change occurs when we work collaboratively to develop insight into your current struggles; only then can we find ways to help you move forward. I have experience and interest in working with people with anxiety, trauma histories, and relationship issues. I enjoy working with creative people and those who wish to explore various aspects of their identities, including people who are LGBTQ+. Another of my strengths is in helping young people navigate the transition into adulthood. I have been practicing for more than ten years and I have specific training in psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and existentially oriented psychotherapy.

I work with you to not just understand what's going on, but also to develop tools to help. Tools to stop panic attacks, tools to manage depression, tools to get organized and figure out what you want in life. We work together to see what works reliably for you. In addition to talking things through, in session and between sessions sometimes you might be writing, sometimes trying a challenging behavior change, sometimes engaging in mindfulness, and sometimes using visualizations. My aim is for you to feel better, and to know what to do to keep feeling better or help yourself if problems resurface. And I try to work efficiently with you, so you are back to your life (and ending therapy) as soon as makes sense for you. Give me a call to set up an initial (free) conversation, at 303-870-9195.

I’ve worked with many students of diverse backgrounds and who need support with their mental health needs. Students say that they enjoy working with me to resolve stressors and find strategies to improve anxiety and depression, ADHD, stress management and many other issues.

I am a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience, specializing in trauma-informed care. My focus is to create a safe, empowering space for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. Through an approach that centers on understanding the impact of life experiences, recognizing client symptoms, and helping individuals build self-awareness and resilience through a trauma-sensitive lens. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach to mental health care, working collaboratively with each individual to ensure they receive personalized support and treatment. I focus on natural, open conversation while integrating clinical approaches to better understand the challenges that brought you to therapy. My goal is to help individuals redefine themselves—moving beyond the weight of their experiences to achieve lasting mental health and well-being. Fostering mental wellness and drawing on my understanding of the complexities that impact a person’s sense of self, aiming to support meaningful growth and healing. I create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and working together toward better mental health and well-being. Your unique needs and experiences will guide our work, and I am committed to providing the support necessary for you to thrive. A courageous step toward healing and growth.

** Telehealth and In-Person appointments.** We all long for our experiences, feelings, and needs to be seen, recognized, and honored. I bring to our work deep respect for your concerns and suffering. I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work together which I approach with curiosity and empathy. I am most interested in what your unique experience is, and I aim to listen deeply on our road toward understanding. A safe-enough space will help us to transform your patterns of experience that interfere with your ability to be compassionate with yourself, to build meaningful relationships, and to work and play creatively, in other words, to live a fulfilling life. I am humbled by the complexity of human existence and feel honored to work with individuals from different racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual and gender identities, as well as spiritual and religious affiliations. In addition to my private practice, I am an Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School (part-time) and supervise psychology interns and psychiatrist fellows. I served as the co-chair of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychology Graduate Student Committee helping young clinicians explore and develop their professional identities.

Are you ready for change? What I love most about my work is seeing clients make meaningful strides toward feeling better—little by little, day by day. As an experienced anxiety therapist in Rochester and Pittsford NY I specialize in helping clients identify and change the negative thoughts and beliefs that impact their happiness and well-being. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll work to transform those self-critical, anxious thoughts into more positive, empowering ones.

We’re a New York and New Jersey based telehealth practice that supports adults, young professionals, and teens who feel caught in patterns they’ve tried to change in relationships, family, school, work, or within themselves. Our therapists offer a thoughtful, compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or already understand why you feel the way you do. Therapy is a place to slow down, reflect, and begin creating change that feels sustainable and real. Whether you’re navigating academic pressure, career stress, relationship challenges, family dynamics, or questions of identity and self-worth, we meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and support.

I’m Steph, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Rhinebeck. I work with young adults navigating grief, loss, anxiety, identity changes, and life transitions.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for clients throughout New York.

Working with a counselor can be anxiety provoking, so my focus is on helping you to feel at ease and create clear goals to make you feel better. I love to support clients in developing skills to manage emotions, build mindfulness in moving through pain, and find compassionate ways to heal. I have spent over 15 years facilitating individual and group services that center around grief, schema, dissociation, and complex trauma. I have been trained in solution focused therapy, ACT, DBT, and EMDR. My passion is helping others customize their healing journey and to take pleasure in every step on their path. It's rare that anyone wakes up overnight a different person. Rather it's through the beautiful process that we develop insight, wisdom, and happiness.

I work with college students and young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of themselves. Many of the people I work with are navigating big life transitions, academic challenges, family stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or feeling pressure to “have it all figured out.” You might be someone who overthinks, struggles with motivation or confidence, feels different from others, or finds yourself repeating patterns in relationships that leave you feeling hurt or misunderstood. Some clients are coping with substance use (their own or someone else’s), growing up in difficult family systems, or trying to heal from experiences that still affect them today. The clients I work best with are open to self-reflection and want support making meaningful changes, even if they’re not exactly sure where to start. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you better understand yourself, build practical tools, and feel more grounded and confident in your life.

People come to therapy for many different reasons, but, at the core, they are looking for understanding, relief, or growth. Maybe you’re trying to understand why you feel the way you do, or you find yourself caught in the same difficult thoughts again and again. Perhaps you’ve noticed patterns of behavior that seem to work against your own well-being. You might be facing a life transition—chosen or not—and are feeling anxious about what’s next. Or maybe you just feel stuck. Therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together, we can clarify your current experience, explore how you got here, and begin to shape a healthier, more fulfilling path forward.

Hi, I'm Lisa Grine, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for College Students What Students Say About Me "Great listener, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted." Years of Experience 10 years+ My Approach I'm both warm and direct—able to match whatever you need in that moment. Sometimes that means sitting with you quietly and listening. Other times it means telling you what I see, even when it's hard to hear. Our sessions are structured conversations, not free-flowing chats. I believe that clarity helps. What I Work With Most • Anxiety, mood concerns,(mental health during prenatal, during pregnancy, and postpartum needs), and depression to name a few • High-achieving students experiencing burnout and life transitions • Young adults-both undergrad and graduate students How I Work Often, college students feel forced to choose between success and wellbeing — but together, we can find a way to balance both! I take a holistic approach to care, which means looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. And let's be honest, it's no surprise that college life can throw our health off track — skipping fresh air, surviving on less-than-ideal food, and running on questionable amounts of sleep are basically a rite of passage. Integrative and Holistic care also means honoring your religious beliefs, ethics, morals, and value systems, because those things genuinely shape who you are. I offer medications when clinically appropriate, but my focus goes far beyond that. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I understand the intensity of acute care as well as the importance of building sustainable, everyday coping strategies that actually fit your life. Who I'm Best Suited For I tend to connect well with women, men, and provide mental health support for women who are pregnant, peri/postpartum. I am strictly telehealth and so if someone needs a stimulant or controlled substance I can recommend providers who are in person or hybrid to match those needs based on current laws and restrictions. I'm upfront about this because I believe matching matters. If you are in any acute danger please seek emergency care first as this practice is outpatient. If you're looking for a provider who shares certain values or experiences, that can make a difference in how comfortable you feel.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a therapist, I can help you learn to cope with the difficult situations life throws at you. I specialize in life transitions, trauma, and grief, and my practice is located in Smithtown, New York. I can't wait to meet you.
