BAVOY Mental Health Counseling
Our Philosophy: Counseling is not just about mental health without considering physical, social, and spiritual health. It's all connected. We provide an integrative and team approach to meet our clients where they are and help them become the best adult versions of themselves, for themselves and for others.

You're here because you know that life can be better. We know it takes a while to decide to come to counseling. No matter what that final thing was that made you come here, we want to help. Michael Soto is a licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the areas of traumatic stress. Choosing to begin therapy is a very personal decision and locating a therapist can be a challenging task.

Michael Soto is a licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the areas of traumatic stress. Choosing to begin therapy is a very personal decision and locating a therapist can be a challenging task. Christine Soto is Director of Operations at BAVOY Mental Health Counseling, PLLC located in Middletown, NY.
Life is a wonderful experience, until it's not. Therapy can help you reorient to the new circumstances in your life, and maybe even recognize the advantages of your current situation. We work with children as early as age three straight through teenagers and young adults. We have team members that work with children with developmental challenges and disabilities.
Choosing to begin therapy is a very personal decision and locating a therapist can be a challenging task. As a psychotherapist with over twenty years counseling experience, my goal is to help support the journey that you have chosen to embark on to accomplish the goals that you have set forth for yourself.
Do you feel like you have too much on your plate lately? Have you been closed off, anxious, moody or withdrawn? Do you find yourself day dreaming while in class or work and your social life is suffering? Maybe you're stuck in a transitional period and are not sure where you belong or fit in. Or maybe it's your child that has been suffering since your recent separation from his father.
My areas of focus include but are not limited to guiding people to effectively manage life's many challenges. During these pressing times in our culture, this could mean helping someone stabilize their mood or overcome pressing adversity. I work with people struggling with issues of depression, anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem/self-worth, bullying, peer pressure, sexual orientation, and family problems.

I asked my therapist if, based on what I’ve confided in him, he identifies emotional or psychological abuse from my partner in my relationship. His response was “well I’m not there so I can’t say.” So I said “new question - do you not believe anything I tell you?” To which he stumbled over his words and tried to backtrack.
So that was fun. Needless to say I no longer go to therapy and will probably never trust it again.
Someone close to me saw a different LCSW or MHC here and ended up being HIS therapist because the kid (yes, kid) couldn’t stop talking about himself or his own

I liked the office staff. But my therapist wasn’t good for me. Would wrap up the session fifteen minutes before it ended constantly. Had to cancel several times and they were not understanding about life happening.
$35-50 fee for cancelling 24 hours before the visit.

Bavoy has helped tremendously in the mental health dept. Tanisha listens, provides insight, and enough praise to assure that I got this one day at a time. I truly feel heard, and productive when going to therapy. 5/5 Recommended.

My time at BAVOY has really changed my life and the way that I experience therapy. Charlene Dones has really helped me to go deeper to learn more about myself and my experiences in order to work on myself. She is supportive, knows how and when to tell me difficult truths, and is so easy to talk to. Highly recommend!

I have taken a few breaks from counseling in the past and felt stressed to fill in my new counselor. And, I did not experience this when I started counseling here. My sessions feel authentic and genuine. I am satisfied with the services so far.

They moved to 402 East Main St. Great place to go for excellent therapy. When you feel confused and discouraged, reach out to one of them immediately. Help is only a call away.
