Role & environment

Saugerties Therapy Center is a psychotherapy group located at Clovelea, in Saugerties NY.

The clinicians that thrive in this environment have an ongoing desire and commitment to learn and grow intellectually and personally in the therapeutic field. We see the therapeutic relationship as a parallel process to the employee relationship — an ever expanding quest to know and better oneself. Clovelea itself is an interdisciplinary healing practitioner space, offering an opportunity for collaboration across different fields.

Therapists are expected to be passionate about the work they do, work collaboratively with our team and provide clear clinical documentation in a timely manner. This position is supported and supervised by the clinic director, Nina Schmidbaur. Her practice is rooted in a social justice and trauma informed framework, that incorporates somatic and attachment therapy principles into her work. We intend to be a safe space for all queer, racial, gendered, ability, and age groups to exist and thrive in our practice. This can be seen in the physical space we inhabit, the culture of the practice, the fee structure we offer clients, and populations served.
