You tell yourself it won't be like that next time, but the cycle continues. It can be even more challenging when you are also trying to adjust to a new environment and maintain ...
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...

Resiliency is the ability to bend and not break when things get really difficult. It is our inner ability to get back up when life knocks us down. While we all have innate Resiliency, sometimes we need to be reminded of how to find it, let alone create the strength to use it. At Resiliency Therapy Services, that is how we want to support you: finding your Resiliency and encourage coping in spite of what life throws at you. If you aren't feeling like yourself, and have noticed changes in you...

I hope we can work together to quiet this critic a...
