Babylon, NY

As a dedicated therapist specializing in adolescent mental health, I am deeply committed to supporting teenagers and young adults through the often roller-coaster journey of adolescence. My work is focused on addressing anxiety and depression among teens and young adults, providing them with a safe, nurturing, comfortable, and judgement free environment to explore their emotions, understand their experiences, and develop effective coping strategies. I use a combination of therapeutic models to address mental health challenges and tailor it to each person. I have gained experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma Informed Care, Grief and Bereavement, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamics, and Client Centered Therapy. I work from an empathetic place and help people develop self-compassion to be able to work towards better mental health. I strive to create a safe space to address difficult matters. One of the foundations of the work I do is create a strong alliance to facilitate change and progress.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Buffalo, NY

Many of us feel disconnected, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone with a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. My focus is offering Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to the LGBT/queer community and ADHD/neurodivergent folks. My special interests are spirituality, social anxiety, non-monogamy, co-dependence, intergenerational trauma, college life, and plant medicine/psychedelic integration. I am Level 2 trained in IFS therapy through the IFS Institute, and can also be found in their practitioner directory. I also offer ADHD evaluations - you can find an inquiry form on my website.

Williamson, NY

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've had the pleasure of providing therapy since 2018. I have over a decade of experience working with a range of populations from young adults to geriatrics. I support people through a variety of issues including tackling depression, anxiety and major life transitions. I prioritize human connection and feel that is strengthened when we are able to be our authentic selves. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy. Your pace is my pace. I can provide you with strategies and coping skills to manage your symptoms in a non-judgmental space. I offer a warm and welcoming environment for open conversations, while also holding you accountable to your goals. During our first session together, you will have the opportunity to share about yourself and your goals for therapy. If this is something you are unsure of, we can figure that out together. Therapy doesn't have to be so scary. I aim for you to feel comfortable, heard and empowered. I enjoy helping people thrive and be the best versions of themselves. Humor is incorporated in much of what I do. When all else fails, we will find ways to laugh together!

Bussey Holistic Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Rochester, NY

Bussey Holistic Therapy is founded on the premise that all human beings have an innate desire for balance, healing, and growth. How each person defines these concepts are individually unique. I view each client as a whole person–mind, body, and spirit. I meet each client where they are in order to help them meet their personal goals. As a therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey. Although life has the potential to be joyful and fulfilling, at times we all face challenges. This is part of the human condition and none of us is immune. While we may generally have the resilience to cope and to move through difficult experiences, there are those times when we become aware that additional support and resources may be helpful in navigating difficult circumstances, healing from painful experiences from the past; or when we become aware of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that we would like to address in order to live a richer life. Therapy can be a constructive resource offering a safe space to heal and grow.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Elmira, NY

My first experience with therapy, was as the client. After surviving a traumatic event, I sought help from a therapist. Therapy proved so helpful, it was then, that my passion grew. While most of my experience has been in private practice providing individual therapy, I have worked in a county mental health clinic, an inpatient psychiatric setting and a residential group home. At the core of distress, we may find some form of unresolved shame, guilt, trauma, abuse or loss. I am here to provide "a safe place" to process those hurts, while helping you increase self-awareness and gain skills to lead a more fulfilling life. As we get to know one another, we will create your goals together. While some people who seek therapy already know what they hope to accomplish, others are completely unsure. Again, there is no right or wrong way to approach therapy. During intake, I will ask you directly what you want and hope for out of therapy. How will you know you are feeling better? Unlike other relationships in our lives, the therapeutic relationship is objective. While our friends and family may do the best they can to help us, they may already have biases regarding how you should live your life. A key component then, is realizing that you will not disappoint me or be judged. I am here to help you be the best version of yourself.

Sometimes we can feel stressed and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. I am LCSW, a certified sex & relationship therapist (AASECT), and EMDR certified who helps clients to explore their sexuality and relationships and find the right place for them. My sex and relationship approach addresses issues such as intimacy, parenting issues, broken trust, sexual identity exploration, sex education, sexual dysfunction, vaginismus and pain disorders, open relationships, passion, sex addiction, sexual trauma, pregnancy, and postpartum depression, changes in the family, relationships and more. I am working virtually with adults, older adults, individuals, families, couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, kink, ENM, open relationships, and poly informed.

It is not uncommon to feel "trapped" in your own skin and feel out of control. This feeling overflows & disrupts our relationships, work/school, sleep, diet, exercise, finances & life goals. Desperation can cause us to reach for temporary solutions like fad diets, overworking, food restriction, over using substances & unhealthy relationships. You aren't meant to be at war with yourself everyday. Within therapy we will work on managing symptoms, finding the roots of your pain and healing where they originated using "parts" work & memory reconsolidation. I provide a safe place for you to be truly "heard" which is often underestimated. I specialize in disordered eating/body image issues using a HAES (Health at Every Size) approach. I work with people of all sizes as disordered eating does not discriminant. Other areas of specialty include grief, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes and hormonal issues. It's common for these struggles to overlap. I understand how difficult it can be finding the "right" therapist. I believe in the power of human connection to be a strong component of therapy. I am humbled everyday by the trust my clients put in me to help them succeed. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have which can be scheduled via email. Thank you for your time!
