Therapists in Fairport, NY

I truly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy no matter what you are struggling with, celebrating, or conflicted about. I’m committed to helping individuals be their best selves by providing a comforting and safe environment where you can explore anything you are looking for support with. Whatever your life situation is, you don't have to manage it alone. We can unpack it together. My goal as a psychotherapist is to bring out an individual's ability to thrive at their utmost potential. I combine a personalized therapeutic approach with evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy.

I would like to first start with saying Congratulations to making the first step in prioritizing your mental health! It is a courageous decision to work on ourselves! Therapy can be the beginning of a life changing endeavor for many and it all begins with you. HI! My name is Erin and I, too, have made that same decision in my life to seek better understanding of myself as well as working through challenges that have gotten me “stuck” at times in my life. I share this because I feel it important for my patients to know that my own personal journey allows me to be empathetic and compassionate to patient’s needs and struggles.

I feel very blessed to have witnessed healing and growth in many, many clients throughout my career. I believe that counseling is a partnership between the client and therapist to achieve symptom relief and personal growth. I have over twenty years of experience with a significant focus in the area of child abuse and neglect (with both children and adult survivors). Many times, what "happened to you" results in the common stress reactions of anxiety and depression. Whatever brings you to the counseling process, I respect your bravery and willingness to change.

Are you grappling with themes of meaning and purpose? Feeling defined by your past, destined to repeat the same unfulfilling cycles for the unforeseeable future? Maybe it feels like the issue is your career, your relationship, or the city you’re living in. You may also be thinking that if you just lose some weight, get more sleep, make a little more money, or find some adventure, surely then you’d be happy. The truth is that you are not doomed to this kind of unending disconnection and dissatisfaction, nor are you destined to perpetuate the cycles of generations before you.

I have been in the mental health field for five years with a master’s in mental health counseling and, currently, obtaining my doctorate in counselor education. I have worked with a plethora of symptomatic presentations, but my specialties lie in cutting-edge practices of chronic pain and mind-body disorders, sexual disorders, and trauma/PTSD. Prior experience in domestic violence and sexual assault crisis counseling, along with community advocacy for mental health services. I view health holistically: mind, body, and spirit. I have a deep understanding of how our mind and body effect one another; overall health is my priority.

Welcome! I am dedicated to helping you through personal, family, and health difficulties with empathy and expertise. At WHOLE, guiding you to your "best self" is our absolute priority. My style of mentoring is client centered and solution focused, giving my clients the opportunity to explore their struggles, find their strengths, and get what they want out of life. We can't wait to offer you hope for the future that can change your life and health long term. Call 585-524-0008 to book your first session within 7 days!

During this difficult time, we can all use extra support.. I am a client-centered, multi-disciplinary therapist who has been working in the field for over 13 years. My experience allows me to meet a person where they are and provide support and strategies to guide them to achieving their therapeutic goals. I am currently accepting new patients and have several slots available at this time. However, I am now only able to offer telehealth (video or phone). Email only for new client inquiries please, and please check insurance information below before contacting- all accepted insurances listed.

Therapy is a process of healing the mind, body and spirit. It produces best results when both the therapist and the client are ready to engage in thoughtful discussions leading toward change. As such, clients who have seen the best results in my care have been motivated, curious and willing to address hard topics in pursuit of health. Issues related to relationships, emotional regulation, exploring past unmet emotional needs, building self-advocacy and addressing internal conflict are well suited to my therapeutic strengths. You come with the raw materials, I come with helpful questions, and together we will build a healthier life.

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again". Facing pain and brokenness of the deepest kind requires amazing strength and courage! Counseling is a unique opportunity to connect w/ the overwhelming issues that can block one's most earnest efforts to "do it differently this time". I'd consider it an honor to work with you as you come to understand your story--whether anxiety, discouragement, addictions, relationships. I look forward to collaborating with you in this challenging, yet rewarding work, as you move toward freedom from any concern that holds you back.

Please note that I am currently not able to accept new clients at this time. Therapy, at its core is about self-discovery. Through a process of curious and compassionate inquiry into the truth of our situation, we gain insights that open space to unencumber ourselves. Often, what we had initially seen as problems can dissolve altogether. I like working with people whose lives have reached an impasse where they need to generate new options to untangle their dilemma. What we need to realize is that the predicament is, ultimately, the doorway to a greater understanding and fulfillment of our lives, both inner and outer.
