Female Therapists in Rochester, NY

The mission of Path of Discovery Counseling Services is to guide millennial women of color on a path of discovery, healing, and self-reflection by examining, envisioning, and exploring how they can live a more authentic and peaceful life. You may be booked and busy, find that you put other peoples needs over your own, labeled as a "Strong Black woman ," or all three! Together we will take a holistic view of your life, and identify patterns that may contribute to your current state. From there I guide you through unlearning what isn't healthy and learn a new way of being that feels authentic to you.

In addition I also work with couples and individuals who have a wide variety of emotional issues including loss, grief, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. I have a cognitive behavioral orientation and work with the strengths of each individual to sustain behavioral changes in thinking, feelings and actions.

Life's challenges and anxieties can be overwhelming at times. These experiences have a profound effect on how you view yourself, your life, how you get along with others and your perception of your capabilities. I am a holistic psychotherapist who promotes a safe and supportive place to do personal growth and recovery work. I will help you to develop and achieve your goals.

I have served in the human service field for 10+ years in a number of different settings from schools to hospitals and public non-for-profit agencies.  In 2020 I became certified in Perinatal Mental Health.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

Are you struggling with issues from your past? Do you experience emotional pain, trauma, depression, anger, or difficulties in your relationships? My decades of experience with EMDR and other therapies have convinced me of their power to help you. I also believe in the resilience and strength of human beings to heal from past hurts. My flexible approach enables me to respond to your unique needs in a caring and nonjudgmental way.

I share experiences with the least, the lost, the last, the left out and the left behind. I lived experiences with diverse groups and am well-traveled so I understand many cultures and ethnicities. I am a survivor of many forms of abuse including domestic violence, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual, and I believe in speaking truth to power. I am a Christian Pastoral Counseling therapist and I believe in building your faith system in order to cope with pressures that society places upon us on a daily basis. I believe that hurt people hurt people but healed people can help heal others and that is my goal in therapy.
