Life is a journey and you will be hard pressed to find a completely smooth path along the way. The hard truth is that life can be filled with difficulties. However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopt healthy coping mechanisms. I have a background in established therapeutic styles such as solution-focused, goal-oriented, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. Such traditional approaches may work for some but sometimes dismisses the holistic needs of individuals. I am a strong believer in the power of connection, humor, and purpose. To meet the needs and busy schedules of people, I also offer an internet-based platform. Availability for individuals, groups, couples, and families. I respect all forms of therapy, but if you envision beyond counseling that follows the standard constraints then this is the right fit for you. Please visit the website EBCounseling.org

Current openings for college students and grad students in person or virtually! I have 25 years of experience, and 11 of them have been working specifically with college students in local college counseling centers. So, I know just how to help you with what you're dealing with. Areas of specialty include mood or relationship issues, college transitions, young women's issues, and identity development focusing on the whole person. I also have extensive experience serving the LGBTQ community (and those who are questioning if they are), both individually and as couples. I take an affirming approach to all kinds of concerns such as coming out, relationships, spirituality, and finding community. I also offer specialized services for transgender and gender expansive people, including transition support (with specialized training through WPATH). My hours are flexible to fit your schedule, and I offer a sliding fee scale and take any out-of-network benefits for insurance (many college students, especially those from out of the area have out of network insurance benefits. Ask me if you would like help navigating insurance).

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've had the pleasure of providing therapy since 2018. I have over a decade of experience working with a range of populations from young adults to geriatrics. I support people through a variety of issues including tackling depression, anxiety and major life transitions. I prioritize human connection and feel that is strengthened when we are able to be our authentic selves. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy. Your pace is my pace. I can provide you with strategies and coping skills to manage your symptoms in a non-judgmental space. I offer a warm and welcoming environment for open conversations, while also holding you accountable to your goals. During our first session together, you will have the opportunity to share about yourself and your goals for therapy. If this is something you are unsure of, we can figure that out together. Therapy doesn't have to be so scary. I aim for you to feel comfortable, heard and empowered. I enjoy helping people thrive and be the best versions of themselves. Humor is incorporated in much of what I do. When all else fails, we will find ways to laugh together!

Okay, let me guess — life feels like a lot right now. You’re overwhelmed, drained, and stuck in patterns that just aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re questioning your relationships, struggling at work, or wondering why you feel so disconnected. That glass of whiskey, wine, or weed isn’t helping like it used to. With nearly 20 years of experience, I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you process difficult emotions, release what’s weighing you down, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll create a path toward feeling more grounded and at peace. I help people work through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and feeling emotionally drained. ART helps resolve distressing memories quickly, while IFS helps you understand and care for the parts of yourself that feel stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is compassionate and direct — focused on helping you feel more grounded and in control of your life. You don’t have to figure it out alone. While you might not feel it right now, you know you’re ready for change. I’d be honored to support you as you take the first step toward relief and clarity. I’m out-of-network with insurance, but we can explore ways to make it work. You’re worth the effort — reach out when you’re ready.

Bainbridge, NY

Hello! My name is Abigayle Bennett, but you can call me Abi. I am in my second year of my Master’s of Social Work at Binghamton University and hold an Associate’s in Human Services and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Education. I have been working in children’s and family services for the majority of my career, and hope to eventually open a Child and Family Development Center and offer an inclusive space for families to seek tools and resources to improve their family’s mental well-being. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, mood disorders, parenting and family issues, relationships, self-esteem, self-harm, lgbtq+ youth, and domestic/sexual abuse. I strive to create a laid-back, open, and approachable environment in our sessions. I understand that starting therapy can be daunting, but I aim to make our therapeutic relationship as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to be someone you feel at ease talking to so that you can freely share and explore your thoughts and feelings. I know how intimidating it can be to bare your soul to a stranger, so I want to work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship so we can tackle your needs as a team. I firmly believe that mental health has to start from a sort of ground-up perspective. In order to control your feelings, emotions, and reactions, you have to understand them and be able to respond to them using tools that meet you where you’re at. I practice primarily using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, attachment theory, and family systems theory. In our sessions, we will use an eclectic mix of various therapeutic frameworks to best meet your needs. In session, this may look like guided meditations, processing past traumas, exploring family dynamics, and cognitive reprogramming techniques. By utilizing a mix of modalities, we can work together to find ways to best respond to the difficulties and struggles you may be facing, and hopefully overall improve your quality of life.
