Takia Feliciano

My name is Takia Feliciano. I am originally from New York City but have been a resident and community member of Clinton County for over 12 years. I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from SUNY Plattsburgh. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Work. I also am Credentialed in Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counseling (CASAC). I have had the privilege to consult and collaboratively work with health professionals and behavioral organizations for many years within the North Country including but not limited to school settings. I have an array of experience treating individuals across the lifespan. I provide an array of psychoanalytical theoretical approaches including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a means of resolving psychological dysfunction to enhance mental wellbeing. Despite the unique stressors and higher rates of trauma, BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ community seek treatment at significantly lower rates, often due to lack of trust. Although men have an increased risk of depression and substance abuse issues, they tend to have a lower rate of seeking mental health treatment due to the stigmatization of societal norms. I practice person centered treatment that is tailored to your specific needs and experience. You can give yourself permission to be vulnerable and authentic when working with me. As a therapist, I provide a comfortable and nonjudgmental environment which fosters growth and healing. Together we will collaboratively identify triggers, unhealthy thinking patterns and work through complex family dynamics that manifest in your behavior. Let’s Start This Journey Together to create a healthier and happier YOU!
