Conditions We Treat in NY & NJ
Our Areas of Expertise
At Hudson Valley Mental Health Counseling, we bridge the gap between in-person and online treatments, offering specialized care tailored for both adolescents and adults. Our approach centers on helping individuals break free from the shackles of fear, providing culturally and religiously sensitive guidance every step of the way.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
OCD is a mental health disorder that involves obsessive thoughts, feelings, sensations, urges, or compulsive behaviors. We utilize Exposure and Response Prevention and other therapeutic methods to help you face your fears, teach mindfulness and tolerance skills, and help minimize obsessive and compulsive symptoms.
Anxiety
At its core, anxiety is a basic emotion and part of the normal human experience. However, when it disrupts quality of life or negatively impacts functioning, it may be time to seek professional help. We treat the full range of anxiety disorders, including panic, generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety disorder, and more.
Depression
Navigating the fog of depression can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Depression can cast a shadow over daily life, making even simple tasks seem daunting. We harness the power of Behavioral Activation and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide individuals back to a life full of color, hope, and connection.
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors
BFRBs are a general term for a group of complex disorders characterized by the hard-to-control urge to touch, pick, or pull at the body. These disorders can cause people to pull out their hair (Trichotillomania), pick at their skin (sometimes referred to as Dermatillomania), or bite their nails to a degree that can cause physical damage.
Perinatal Mental Health
Pregnancy and the postpartum period can bring unexpected challenges. Added stress, physical changes, disrupted sleep, and new responsibilities can amplify or cause anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms for parents. Getting support early for these challenges can be crucial for ensuring both parental and infant well-being.
Parenting Challenges
Parenting can be challenging! Add in anxiety or OCD-related problems, and families can feel stretched thin. We specialize in supporting parents through these challenges, giving them the tools they need to help their child or teen cope with anxiety and begin to thrive – using evidence-based approaches including SPACE.
