Nourishing Connections, Building Futures

We’re on this journey with you. From overcoming personal hurdles to navigating parenting a teen or child with OCD or anxiety, let’s pave a path filled with growth, understanding, and connection together. 

Core Pillars of Our Care


Helping You to Understand, Adapt,
& Thrive on Your Journey

Through our unique approach to therapy, we aim to help you feel more comfortable in the face of uncertainty, and less reactive to difficult situations or painful thoughts and feelings. As we work together to nurture your ability to slow down and make more deliberate choices, you’ll begin to feel more peaceful, open, and patient.

Personalized Therapeutic Approaches 

Our unique modular treatment approach, developed by our founder, allows for streamlined and highly personalized care. We discuss your goals, make a transparent plan, and tailor your care effectively and efficiently. 

Research-Driven Methodologies

We blend acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches with gold-standard behavioral modalities, such as exposure and response prevention for OCD and behavioral activation depression. We ensure our care is rooted in the latest research. 

Niched Mental Health Services

Our specialized approach addresses OCD, anxiety, depression, body-focused repetitive movements, perinatal mental health, and more – all while catering to individuals across various developmental stages. 

Cultural & Religious Sensitivity 

We recognize the unique needs of diverse communities, including the Orthodox Jewish community. Our approach respects and incorporates your cultural and religious values, ensuring therapy that is both effective and aligned with your beliefs.


Frequently Asked Questions

We are out-of-network providers. If you have a plan that includes coverage for out-of-network providers, we are happy to supply you with monthly invoices (superbills) that you can submit for reimbursement (typically this covers a good percentage of the fee). It’s important to understand that superbills are required by insurance companies to include a mental health diagnosis. 

Not sure if you have this benefit? Call your insurance company and ask:

  • Do I have out-of-network coverage for behavioral health?
  • What is my deductible and how much of it has been met?
  • What is the reimbursement rate for a therapy session (insurance code is 90834)?
  • Do I need preauthorization?

If you need help finding out this information, please reach out.

How long counseling sessions last is up to you. A typical session is 45 or 60 minutes once per week. There are times when it makes sense to meet for longer sessions (usually 90 minutes), or more frequent sessions (2-3x per week.)

Our treatment approach is integrated, meaning we draw from different therapeutic techniques that are tailored specifically for you. These interventions all fall under the umbrella of acceptance and mindfulness-based behavioral approaches, which means we help you embrace your thoughts and feelings without judgment while supporting you in building more flexible, workable behavior that aligns with your values. 

We also integrate exposure interventions, which involve facing your fears in a safe and supportive environment. This gradual exposure helps you break free from anxiety’s grip and build confidence in handling challenging situations.

We believe in collaboration, which means we listen to your unique experiences, respect your individuality, and truly understand your goals. Your values and aspirations guide our work together, helping us create a therapy journey that resonates with your personal needs.

Throughout the process, we provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to explore, learn, and grow. Our goal is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and resilience.

At Hudson Valley Mental Health Counseling, we prioritize your privacy and confidentiality. All group participants are required to adhere to a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that what’s discussed in the group stays within the group. Our therapists also set clear boundaries and guidelines at the onset to create a safe and respectful environment for all members.

Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to feel supported by others who share similar experiences. The group setting fosters a sense of community, allowing members to gain different perspectives, practice new behaviors in a safe space, and feel less isolated in their struggles. 

Absolutely! Many clients find that a combination of individual and group therapy offers them comprehensive support. Individual therapy provides personalized attention and a deep dive into specific issues, while group therapy offers broader insights and the invaluable experience of connecting with peers. Our therapists can guide you in designing a therapy plan that aligns with your needs and goals.
