All About Therapy
Perhaps you're down, anxious, or grieving a loss. Maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to work with you on your path to well-being. Therapy is a process of growth and is a transformational journey.
In my sessions, I utilize a variety of strategies and modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-based practices to help you meet your goals. Therapy is a partnership of trust, and I use an easygoing, conversational approach, making it comfortable and safe for my clients to discuss at times, uncomfortable or painful moments and experiences in their lives
I look forward to our work together
I provide individual psychotherapy, virtually, using zoom or doxy.me. I am licensed in New York State.
My name is Dot Schmitt. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and a Nationally Certified Counselor, NCC. I also am certified in Telemental Health Counseling and have received intensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT) by the Behavior Tech Institute. I have been practicing as a therapist for over 30 years and have spent the majority of my career providing counseling and therapy at St. John's University Counseling Center. I have expertise with the millennial generation and with the college student - emerging adult population, but I also work with adults and couples of all ages. I have done extensive work with those who are experiencing symptoms relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss. I also have expertise in working with the LGBTQIA community and am a gender-affirming therapist.
I believe that healing is a holistic process and I work with my clients to integrate a complete wellness approach into their change goals.
