I look forward to meeting you and am excited to help you identify your goals. Often, my clients feel better after just one session! Even scheduling that first appointment with me will give you a sense of hope. Whether it's an objective person to offer advice and suggestions, or specific interventions and coping skills, I know I can help you. Call today and let's get started.

As a clinical psychologist, I can help you with relationship difficulties, managing important life transitions, minimizing depression and anxiety, and managing stress. In my profession, there is no worthwhile "cookie cutter" approach, therefore your personality and coping styles will be a key focus in my work with you towards developing new perspectives and new skills. My main goal is to keep learning and help my clients do the same. I now offer video online services. Please, contact me at 585-615-5036 or at emichelucci@gmail.com with any questions.

Welcome to my practice. You have made the first step in your journey toward healing. Are you facing stress? Anxiety or depression? Life transitions? Grief and loss? I can help guide you through to find peace and healing. I believe that within us, we hold the answers to the questions and struggles that plague us. However, difficult times often require assistance and support from others.

I specialize in the neuropsychological assessment of both children and adults. My areas of expertise include a wide range of neurological and developmental disorders such as learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and brain tumors.

We all struggle at times. Whether you're feeling lost, confused, anxious, depressed, abandoned, angry, jealous, or alone, I can help. I believe the strength you need is within you and that with support and guidance, you can change your life. I provide a warm and comforting presence, as well as the mental and emotional space, resources, and tools you need to take back the power you've lost in your life. When you change what you can, accept what you can't, and appreciate life for its ups and downs, your life will be more fulfilling and productive.

The difficulties of life grip us in ways both obvious and unseen. Life has a way of happening at inconvenient times and counseling can assist in navigating the emotional difficulties and consequences with someone who is non-judgmental and supportive. I strive to view the world through your lens while helping you recognize your strengths and build resiliency through proven techniques so that you can lead a successful and comfortable life. I hope to have the opportunity to support you through this difficult time.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the problems in your life? When life gets to be challenging, we often lose our sense of joy and hope. We might feel that we are just barely able to get ourselves through the day. You might be struggling with worry, sadness, a short fuse, concerns about a family member, the loss of a loved one or a life change. If you are overwhelmed and are not sure how to regain the life you enjoy, I hope you will give me a call.

"I don't even know who I am anymore since I had a baby." Is this you? I hold a specialized certification in Perinatal Mental Health, which most associate with "Post Partum Depression." While much of my work does focus on post partum mood concerns, I am also able to provide knowledgeable therapeutic support for other concerns, such as: life transitions, parenting, self esteem, relational distress, and mood instability. I enjoy working with adolescents in addition to adults, and like to use whatever forum is most comfortable- face to face, phone or telehealth.

As a mental health therapist of over 10 years, I enjoy assisting teenagers and young adults reach their life worth living. I have been extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is a helpful and effective treatment for those with suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, emotional disregulation and confusion about self. I am here to help clients reduce emotional and behavioral problems to begin to reach their goals. I also have a certificate in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and work with teens and young adults who have anxiety and depression.

Thank you so much for your interest in my practice! Being a parent or caregiver can offer its ups and downs. Often times we may feel overwhelmed, stressed and confused by our child's emotions and behaviors. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my goal is to help children and adolescents discover their strengths and develop skills to overcome challenges.

Sherpa is the name for the person in Nepal who carries your baggage when you are climbing up a high mountain. That image fits with my vision of therapy or counseling. I see myself as your servant. I enjoy helping people carry the baggage you bring on the trip. The usefulness of what we do together is dependent on the quality of the relationship we can develop. Do you think that I can help you carry your baggage until you get back on the trail or are high enough on the mountain to see where you want to go?

When you come to me, thinking about seeking help, you can expect certain things: I will listen to what your concerns are. Together we will determine what you want to achieve. I will help you learn and practice skills that will help you gain fulfilling life. I have worked for over thirty years with clients who have mental health and substance abuse issues, with children, adolescents and their families. I love helping people who are struggling with life challenges: overwhelming emotions, relationships, and trauma.

I believe every person has unbelievable potential, but life can become complex with the never-ending transitions and changes. My experiences have provided me a solid foundation of working with individuals from all different backgrounds, living with a wide array of challenges. I can work with you to realize the strengths you already have and foster those strengths to learn how to cope with changes and manage the unpredictability of every day life. Together, we can discover the power you already have within and use that to synthesize your mind, body, and spirit so that we create a future of joy, happiness, and self worth.

My ideal client is an active participant in their journey to wellness and enjoyment of life. My clients have struggles with their emotions, their habits, and creating a meaningful life. Their goals are to live their lives as they want to, have positive loving relationships, and be healthy. They want to enjoy their lives and contribute to something greater than themselves.

Peace Project Mental Health Counseling is a group of three Licensed Mental Health Counselors (from left: Casandra Musumeci, Caitlin Halloran, Andrea Rockefeller) specializing in working with children, adolescents, their families, and young adults. We all have a background and years of experience working as behavior intervention specialists with individuals with developmental disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and co-morbid mental health struggles. Our experience allows to take innovative approaches with the individuals and families we work with.

When you become a parent, your child is the apple of your eye. You want the best life for them and you will do almost anything to ensure their safety and their happiness. Children bring joy to our lives; they are energetic, quirky and imaginative. Kids exhibit their personalities through play and social connections. Watching our tiny humans grow and learn is precious. Children test boundaries with adults as part of several developmental stages. Being inquisitive creatures, this is a child’s way of testing the environment. Dynamic relationships can affect a child's wellness causing behaviors that confuse parents and children.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience providing treatment services to youths, families and adults in outpatient mental health and chemical dependency settings. I am currently offering counseling and wellness services to assist youths and adults who are experiencing life challenges and barriers, including adjustment issues and interpersonal relationship problems. Focus of care is to help guide individuals to recover and manage their lives on a daily basis so they are able to build on their existing strengths and incorporate adaptive coping skills to improve emotional, behavioral, social and occupational functioning.

"There is no greater reward for working with youth and adults than to see them develop clarity, warmth and power in their own lives."

"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.

***Not taking new clients until 2021. **** I realize finding a good connection with a therapist is very important. I often have clients tell me with that "You are the first therapist I have really felt comfortable with". If you are struggling with marital/relationship conflict, loss/grief, separation/divorce, illness, anxiety, depression, toxic relationships, I can help. I have supported many clients better their relationships with a partner, family member, friends and colleagues. Having secure and healthy relationships (with a splash of humor) is what life is all about.
