Ginny Paige, LCSW (she/her)

Certified EMDR Therapist

Psychotherapy for adults and children in New York and Vermont

I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to helping adults and children learn how to live better. Therapy with me is a space of acceptance, kindness, compassion, and curiosity. You will feel safe, heard, and understood.

In therapy, you can build coping skills and get practical help for anxiety,, traumatic events, relationship challenges, grief, and more. Online therapy is available for adults and children in New York and Vermont.

I’m here to be present with you in your grief and losses. During our sessions, I’m listening to you, as opposed to just hearing you.

This is a subtle, yet deeply important piece of our work together and integral to our relationship. My hope is that you’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, knowing that you are in control and have my support and acceptance throughout.

I keep in mind how sessions might feel from your perspective. At any given time, sessions may feel comforting, encouraging, empowering, transformative, uncomfortable, discouraging, or tiring, to name just a few emotions. Some feelings will be hard for you to sit with, but in my experience, decrease as processing and integrating upsetting and traumatic experiences happens. In other words, sometimes it gets worse before it gets better and that’s okay. It’s the motion that’s important.

My specialties

I support clients who are experiencing life transitions resulting in grief, loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, panic attacks, job loss, empty nest, performance anxiety, medical trauma, attachment trauma, intergenerational trauma and other upsetting and stress-related issues that typically don't involve neglect, violence, or addiction, but nonetheless result in ongoing significant distress.

Comprehensive psychotherapy for you

There are many therapeutic approaches. Don’t expect a one-size-fits-all therapy approach! We will select the approaches that address your experiences and your goals. In therapy, we may use the Flash Technique, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other approaches to create a plan that fits your needs.

Grief is often beneath emotions such as anxiety, anger, fear, and even frustration.

We might instead identify with these emotions, rather than tap into the feelings of overwhelm or powerlessness that grief and loss can bring. Recognizing and acknowledging this hidden grief is a crucial step toward healing and finding emotional equilibrium in the face of life's challenges.

Each of us experiences loss differently.

You don’t need to be stronger, softer, more emotional, less emotional, or however it is that you’re not currently being. 

If you’re feeling sad, angry, lost, regretful, ashamed, embarrassed, or relieved – that’s okay. 

If you’re worried that you’ll forget your loss if you grieve, or feel guilty about moving on – that’s okay.

If you’re feeling helpless because the situation is ongoing, that’s okay – perhaps you’re stuck in a difficult work situation, or someone you care about is ill, missing, or engaging in self-destructive behaviors.

  • I love dogs and am in awe of how dogs live life: in the moment and appreciative of the little things. What a wonderful way to be. 

    I’m a runner (actually, more of a jogger). But I prefer the former, as I feel more athletic using this vocabulary.

    I enjoy a good pun!

    I believe anything is possible. Just keep moving, while also embracing some daily stillness.

  • Grief is an individual experience. Move through your loss at your own pace.

    Whether you’re struggling to grieve your loss, feeling like you’re going through the motions with no relief, or are unsure what moving through a loss looks like, you’re not alone.
