Welcome!

 

We are so glad you’re here. Maybe you’re here because you are feeling overwhelmed, paralyzed by physical symptoms of anxiety, depressed, alone, or questioning your identity or sexual orientation. Or maybe you are struggling with something else, like taking up space, speaking up or setting boundaries in your relationships. Imagine this - your mental health in full bloom. That’s our goal. We believe that everyone has a right to therapy and that finding a good therapist for you, and a therapy that works, shouldn’t be an Olympic sport.

At In Bloom Mental Health Counseling, we provide modern, individualized and evidence-based therapy to adults and adolescents virtually throughout New York as well as in person and virtually in Maryland. We will work to match you with the right therapist and the right treatment for you.

Testimonials

“I've worked with Shandy for the past year for anxiety. She's been a godsend. I had to leave my job because of debilitating and almost daily panic attacks. She helped me learn about my anxiety and taught me ways of managing my fight/flight physical reactions and reality testing my immediate anxious thoughts. I'm in a good place now and finally able to work again. Thank you Shandy.”

Did you know that journaling can help you regulate emotions?

Not only does journaling help you organize your thoughts and build self-awareness, it also helps you regulate emotions. Identifying and processing our emotions using language increases activity in the part of our brain associated with logic (prefrontal cortex) and this helps decrease activity in the part of the brain involved in fear, anxiety and negative emotions (the amygdala and greater limbic system), making us feel better (1).
