A Licensed Social Worker with 13 years of experience in mental health counseling, crisis management and mental health assessments. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and School Social Work. I use a generalist practice approach, while incorporating solution focused therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and spiritual therapy. I believe, at least for most people, a deep-seated sense of meaning and purpose in life, together with a sense of belonging, is of foundational importance to psychological well-being and wholeness.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I am Sarah Gwen. I go by Sarah or Gwen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC), and I am almost ready to apply to be a Certified Sex Therapist (CST).

No pressure.

Before being a therapist, I was a patient struggling with an eating disorder, depression and a history of trauma. I've been in your shoes. Therapy transformed my life, and it can do the same for you. It is an exciting and challenging opportunity; a springboard into a meaningful, confident and fulfilling life. The goals you set for therapy will be met as long as you stay in treatment. You can change your life. The secrets: 1. Resolve the causes of your struggles for permanent change and never give up! :) Best of luck!

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing in the mental health field in the greater Rochester area for over 20 years. My experience is with youth, adults, and families. I have four primary specialty areas: trauma and resilience, sexuality and gender identity, early adulthood, and lastly, managing anxiety and depression.

I am Eric Braun and I have been a Social Worker for 20 years. I have experience in treating various mental health, addiction, and forensic issues. I use a variety of effective treatment techniques in utilizing your strengths to assist you in overcoming difficulties, attaining your goals and feeling your best. In addition, I am credentialed as a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) in that I can provide evaluations to individuals working in safety-sensitive occupations who are covered under the Department of Transportation, for the purpose of the Return-to-Duty Process.

I have had the pleasure of working in this field for more than 35 years and have found that no problem is too big, peace is a position of power, and change is another word for refine/revise/adapt. My favorite quote is: "You have to fall in love with your life." Counseling is a way to learn the barriers to doing this, the tools and techniques for doing so, and shifts in beliefs needed to attain the trickle down effect from this. Clients with whom I work often are seeking shifts in their life/spiritual view, focus, behaviors and coping skills.

For several years, a whirlwind of events have altered the normalities of life and challenged one’s sense of safe, stable, and secure. I've dedicated the past 20 years to helping people achieve overall wellness and evolve as individuals. People learn how to navigate through the twists and turns of their wellness journey. With self-awareness, self-acceptance, and inner control over our lives, we can attain inner freedom, growth, and the tools to continue on our paths. Your situation can't change unless you choose to change it.

I am a full-time practioner, and have been a therapist for over 30 years. I have worked in many different settings. I am not accepting new clients, other than the folks i have already communicated with. Trust is an important part of any relationship. I understand that it is something that is created slowly, and maintained over time. I often serve as someone who bears witness to the stories people bring with them. By listening to those that come to see me, I better understand their experiences and then have an opportunity to assist them to fully heal.

Maybe you have already tried traditional talk therapy and wish to explore and know yourself on a deeper level. Maybe you feel like you are carrying past burdens and have a desire to be free from the burdens and traumas of the past. Others may desire a need to identify patterns in behavior and relationships, understand difficult emotions, or challenges that arise with partners, family, or at work. If any of this sounds familiar and if you desire to gain clarity in any of these areas, Internal family systems may be a good fit for you.

Do you feel unsatisfied, stuck, or anxious in your relationships? You watch as other people go on to have successful relationships while you feel stuck in repeat. Are you on the verge of divorce? You might be driven in other areas of your life but feel like you can't quite hack it when it comes to relationships. You might have tried a plethora of therapists in the past that don’t connect with you or seem not to understand where you are coming from. You are looking for someone to tell you like it is, understands where you are coming from, and invest in your future success.

Living in “survival mode?” Asking “what is my purpose in life?” Feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear, facing a transition in your life? Life doesn't always turn out the way we plan, and can make us feel all kinds of emotions. It's ok to not feel ok. We all struggle with life sometimes. You don't have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. It is healthy to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, an objective ear to listen, and to provide answers to your questions. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul. As we get older, we sometimes
