Hello-I want to introduce myself to you. I am a Clinical Psychologist and Therapist in Rochester, NY. I have provided therapy for over 25 years to individuals, couples and families; I offer a variety of therapies based on the problems, issues and needs of my clients. These include supportive, behavioral, expressive, marriage and family and group treatment. Strategically, I favor shorter term solutions-based interventions but remain flexible for longer term work-I have helped individuals in a single day and have treated others for 20+ years.

I have spent over a decade in community mental health clinics which has allowed me the opportunity to interact with the many different ways human suffering can show itself. I have interest in hearing your story and working to understand what made our paths intersect. I want to help you understand what’s behind your suffering and work together to help you get back to what matters in your life. I have particular interest and background with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (well suited for sleep issues).

I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) from the Rochester, NY area. My experience includes working with a diverse population of clients in varying stages of life. I have several years experience in outpatient mental health and providing online Telehealth services. My plan for treatment comes from an understanding that each client has their own story and deserves an individualized approach.

Do you feel lost, alone or unmotivated? Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps overwhelmed and disconnected? Like you are just surviving? Life doesn't always turn out the way we planned or envisioned for ourselves. Sometimes we go down paths or take turns that we did not expect. This can bring on a range of emotions that we are not prepared for. This is normal, and you are not alone. My goal is to provide a safe space to process these feelings, find balance and manage the stressors that arise in life.

Finding the right therapist is important and seeking help is a courageous step. You want a person with experience, who you can trust and feel comfortable with. You hope to be met with respect and genuineness as you resolve concerns such as sadness, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or wanting to focus on self-improvement. I offer a therapeutic environment of respectful challenge, acceptance, curiosity, and joy. My approach to therapy is "integrative." This means that I utilize skills from several types of therapy to find the approach that is the best fit for your needs and your strengths.

Hi there! My name is Tricia Og and I started working in the mental health field in 2010. Since then, I’ve worked in school settings, provided crisis intervention, and provided therapy in both home-based and clinical settings. I truly enjoy working with all clients, but I specialize in working with children/ adolescents, LGBTQ, adults, and families. From my experience, I have found that building a strong rapport with each client is just as important as the clinical intervention.

Mental Health Counseling is a second career for me, and I believe it is what I am meant to do. I focus of guiding individuals with mental health concerns through their journey of recovery and self discovery. I provide a safe space to begin to process the issues clients are confronting I believe that each person and coordinate the individuals process based on their goals and needs.

I believe that all people seeking therapy are truly unique, yet we all have the same basic needs for acceptance, compassion, happiness, and human connection. For some, our early childhood experiences prevent us from getting these needs met as adults. For others, it is simply the stresses and demands of everyday life that contribute to our feeling anxious, depressed or having chronic pain symptoms. Sometimes we experience losses (big or small) which are hard to process and recover from. Often it is a combination of factors that we cannot clearly identify. Therapy is the path toward getting your needs met.

My passion lies in helping clients to create proactive coping skills, develop self awareness around their beliefs and improve their interpersonal skills. My leadership extends into the community, where I am actively involved with Boy Scouts of America and coach youth sports.

Welcome to anyone seeking ways to stop negative self-talk, decrease anxiety, fear, irrational thinking, and ways to calm challenges you may face. With over twenty years of clinical experience I have found that each individual has within themselves the resources and ability to become whom they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As your therapist, I join with you to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and assist in guiding you in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others; assisting you in your journey of reaching personal and professional goals.

I have spent the last 7 years working with people who struggle with addiction, ranging from teens to older adults, and their families. With addiction typically also comes anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship turmoil, etc., and together we focus on the whole person. Style: I utilize a person-centered, strength-based approach to meet my clients where they are at and help them identify what success looks like to them. I believe that providing education assists greatly in paving the way to success, as the more you understand the “why” behind your struggle, the easier it is to develop an action plan to make change.

Feeling overwhelmed is an understatement and discouragement is all too familiar. Life is hard! Your relationship is falling apart and you have no idea where to begin to keep it from crumbling to pieces. You just wish your spouse would change. You wish they would just accept you for who you are. If only they listened to you and loved you like you need them to. The hamster wheel keeps turning and the same conflicts keep surfacing. You've tried over and over again to change but you just end up right where you started. Will it ever get better?
