No two people are alike and each individual will respond to a various combination of different types of care.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: As a therapist, I focus on working with clients going through difficult Life Transitions. As humans beings, we all experience periods in our lives that involve structural changes, and high stakes decision making. At times, these changes and the decisions involved, can make us feel very overwhelmed, and leave us with a sense that we have been thrown off balance. Some examples of life transitions include; the end of a relationship, a new relationship status, a career change or a relocation, as well as the transition into adulthood that starts during adolescence. I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders and the grieving process. The uncertainty present during new life stages can often generate stress and anxiety, as well as feelings of disappointment, shame, sadness, and grief.

During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against barriers that keep you from identifying and achieving your goals.

Biography: "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself" -Jalaluddin Rumi I admire your decision to pursue change and the courage to ask for help with the journey. Thank you for sharing some of your personal information and therefore let me take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Glen Briggs and I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Syracuse University with a Master of Social Work degree and have over 30 years of experience practicing community behavioral health in Buffalo. I have counseled individuals with a myriad of problems, including the full range of mental health conditions and often these individuals have had concurrent addictions or physical health challenges. The people I have worked with come from a broad range of ethnic, geographic and economic backgrounds. Working within the settings of mental health and addiction clinics, as well as a co-occurring continuing day treatment program; I have provided individual therapy, group counseling, psycho-educational groups, couples counseling, family therapy and crisis phone counseling. The utilization of online counseling in its various forms interests me as a new means to connect with individuals in need who may otherwise not seek therapy. As you read through these various counselor profiles, you may find yourself overwhelmed by all the different therapies and approaches being described, leaving you to wonder what might be best for you. Research shows that therapy works and the particular type of therapy provided isn't as important as what is called the "therapeutic alliance". The therapeutic alliance refers to the quality and strength of the collaborative relationship between the client and therapist, where there is agreement on goals, methods to be used, the role of the therapist and preferences of the client. To use an analogy, there are many ways to get to your desired destination but the means of transportation you choose, depends on the preferences you find most important (ex. fastest route, most scenic, least hectic). So as you go about choosing a therapist, my recommendation would be to not get caught up on the theoretical orientation the person utilizes but focus more on how they like to conduct their therapy sessions, areas of interest and whether their communication style seems like it might be a good fit for you and the things you value most. As one might expect of someone with over 30 years of experience, I have developed an eclectic approach to therapy with less reliance on theoretical concepts and more emphasis on solution-focused strategies that develop problem-solving and coping skills. While I draw a fair amount from Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, I elicit ongoing consumer feedback and collaboration, to inform the approaches to which the individual will be most responsive. I have been told that my non-judgmental style and use of humor, engages people, as they find me easy to relate to, respectful and sincere in my efforts to help individuals facilitate their desired change and improve their overall quality of life.

Biography: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. If you are exploring Better Help, I think it's most likely because you or a loved one is facing a significant challenge right now, or perhaps it's a chronic challenge, and you've thought about therapy many times but weren't sure where to turn. First, seeking therapy is not an easy decision and I want to commend you for taking this step. Second, finding the right connection with a therapist is, in my opinion, equally important to finding one with excellent training and experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 11 years of experience. The bulk of those years I spent working with families struggling with complex family trauma and mental health issues. In most recent years, I have been working with children and families in foster care; foster care is a system with a lot of moving parts and often these families, not just the children, are experiencing many challenging circumstances that they need help navigating through. I also have pastoral counseling experience and have counseled with couples and individuals in the church setting for several years. My style of therapy is warm, interactive, and personal. I believe that everyone's struggle is different and therefore, the approach needs to be unique to the individual. Treating people with sensitivity, dignity, and compassion at all times is important to me. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels or in placing limitations on someone because of a current struggle. I tend to gravitate towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory. I am also a Christian who believes in God; I believe that God is a good, and loving Father who has both the desire and ability to heal and restore hearts that are wounded. I believe that faith and spirituality play an important role in our emotional health and overall well-being. However, I will cater my approach to your needs and what helps you to feel the most comfortable. You are the most important person in this process to me.

Biography: My name is Laurie and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State. I have been very fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings , in my 20 years in the field, which has allowed me to see how complicated life can become and how wonderful. I have worked on an inpatient psychiatric unit, hospital medical units, Neonatal Intensive Care units, I have worked with adolescents in residential care and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, families with end of life stressors and just folks who need a friendly ear. I am familiar with the agency systems that although they are meant to help, sometimes add to the confusion. I am an interactive therapist, who also demonstrates empathy and caring while working to empower you to create the life you deserve. I am solution focused and yet compassionate. I feel that the greatest gift we can all receive, is to be heard, to be able to identify our deepest feelings and to express those feelings without fear of judgement; to not feel invisible; to feel like we matter. I believe that ultimately, we know what we need in order to make a better life for ourselves but I also know obstacles will jump in and try to prevent that happiness. This is when we all may simply need some need some outside guidance for the journey . And that is how I see this therapeutic relationship; an opportunity to uncover the obstacles that get in your way of living a beautiful life. So I will frequently return to the concept of Self Love , why it is vitally important and how we can get there. Don't let that scare you! But it is the key. So, I will be your mirror. Here to reflect back to you what you may already know and perhaps to shine a light on something new you never thought of before. I tend to speak in very plain language, choosing to describe and explore feelings rather than label them. I am more concerned that we can communicate clearly and you feel you have been heard. If this kind of team play interests you , let have a chat. And with that said, the development of that team relationship is of the utmost importance. Professionally, I feel that in order to make changes in old patterns, one must commit to the process. It is important that if you wish to change some of the suffering you have in your life, you will need to make your session times a priority. Scheduling a session weekly or bi weekly is ideal. It is the interaction between therapist and client that is most beneficial , which is why I feel that the most effective way to conduct a session is by either video or phone with a live chat being the last choice. Dealing with issues and concerns in the moment is what this work is about. A back and forth dialogue is so necessary for you to get a sense of who I am and for me to learn more about you! Yes, it can be intimidating but terrific as well. I hope you take the plunge and make a really bold leap right now!! Let's work together.
