Therapists in Rochester, NY

My philosophy of counseling is to shape the work I do around the needs, goals, and overall direction that you want to address.

My mission is to empower adolescents, families and young adults as they navigate the complexities of emotional well-being. We all experience struggles and challenges as a result of life’s ups and downs. I am able to offer support for a wide array of issues relating but not limited to, anxiety, depression, adjustment, anger management, artists & creatives struggles, attention deficit (ADHD), behavioral Issues, body image, burnout, career counseling, caregiver issues, stress, adolescent issues, codependency, communication problems, coping mechanisms, and couples/marriage/relationships issues.

Welcome! My passion and purpose in this life has led me to build a career in being there for others at their worst while walking alongside them on their journey to becoming their best. I believe each of us can live an extraordinary life. My journey is like so many others, but in doing the inner work ultimately allows us to fulfill that purpose in our lives. I am a Social Worker by trade and provide both therapeutic support as well as mindset mentorship for other healing professionals and business owners.

If you or your child have experienced a stressful or overwhelming life event, or are looking for space to process day-to-day struggles, you deserve support. Therapy should be a place to explore and heal, and I am honored to hold space for this process. You are the expert of your own life and experience, and I want to work together with you and/or your child to formulate a plan of support that feels right.

How do you feel right now? What do you need? What do you want? Change in our lives can only come from a better understanding of who we really are. Validation of past experiences, wounds and traumas. Through exploration, comes a willingness to work to change. Not who you are, but how you are; in relationships, at work, with your family and with yourself. Reducing anxiety, feeling less depressed, better able to deal with overwhelming emotions. Contentment.

We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another...."How did I (or we) get here?"... During these times, talking to someone who understands helps. I believe that it takes courage and strength to seek change. It is through this change that we begin to feel better not only about ourselves, but about our life circumstances. I always feel honored that clients trust me enough to share their stories. Much of my work has been dedicated to helping those who are struggling with depression or experiencing anxiety. I will do my best to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Are you finding yourself in a pattern of repetitive behaviors that often interfere with your relationships/self-esteem? This may look like: relationships characterized by high conflict or codependency; periods of intense self-shaming/negative self-talk; emotional reactivity; or may show up as self-harming behaviors. If you are looking to receive non-judgmental care focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional regulation, you are in the right place! I have experience working specifically with young adults 18-35, the LGBTQ+ community and those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder or PTSD.

I love working with young people ages 12-24, as well as their families. Youth and families reach out when things become overwhelming with family or peer conflict, school issues, anxiety, depression, a trauma/loss, life/family transition, or something just isn't feeling quite right, and help is needed to identify what might be happening and how to start making progress towards feeling better.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes you strive toward something meaningful even though it's not easy. Other times we struggle with what blocks us from a satisfying life - grief or depression, anxiety or trauma. What if you could refocus energy from negative thoughts and feelings and, instead, pour it into pursuing a meaningful life? More time with family. Enriching a loving relationship. Chasing a career goal. Improving yourself. I believe we can lose ourselves in struggles that take us away from healthy living. But you can aim for a way to deal with internal difficulties and engage in purposeful living.

Are you tired of struggling? Ready for a different way to approach things? As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Mediator, I partner with my clients to inspire change. My job is to help diagnose the issues and teach the tools so you can learn to cope and feel better. Let me help you live the best life for you! I am experienced at working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of mental health and relationship issues.

I am a board certified Addiction Medicine Specialist Physican who would like to help you navigate your substance use issues. I view addiction as an extremely common treatable disease, not as some sort of moral failing, weak will, or lack of intelligence. My goal is to help you stop using the substance or substances that are ruining your life, and to recover both your self-respect and the respect of others.

I believe it takes courage to engage in the therapeutic process. I work to create a welcoming, safe, and tranquil environment for every client. I understand that your story is unique & I listen to understand. When working with couples, my job is to understand both so I can then build a bridge in your communication together and help you resolve your conflicts, build emotional, physical, & sexual intimacy. Whether you are looking for couples therapy or individual, my goal is to assist you in creating goals, examining the current unhealthy pattern, & creating a healthier pattern that fits the life you want to live.

Patients who suffer with depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma are ideal candidates for Clinical Hypnotherapy. They develop coping skills and work to identify the root cause of their disorder. We work with relaxation techniques, guided meditation and hypnosis to make meaningful changes and improve their quality of life. We work on techniques to help reduce the symptoms which come with each disorder. My patients find more joy and peace in life when they can take back control of their feelings and emotions.

I am deeply passionate about the work I do and the individuals I have the privilege of supporting. I have always been drawn to the field of mental health. I believe that therapy is a craft that requires dedication, compassion, and a willingness to continually evolve. I am dedicated to staying current with the latest research and best practices in the field, as well as seeking out new training and education opportunities to enhance my ability to serve my clients.

I have over fifteen years of professional experience in the field of mental health. A graduate of Syracuse University, I have worked with a variety of individuals in private practice, as well as non-profit clinical settings. As a Client-Centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, my approach to therapy involves providing support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I will work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Life can be filled with an unbelievable number of things that we need to manage every day. Balancing all the demands required of us can result in feeling drained and unsatisfied with daily life. Let's give you a new perspective on old problems and help you overcome life’s challenging hurdles.

Did you know one of the most frequently discussed topics in a therapy session is relationships? We are wired to connect. Love and acceptance are needs we strive to experience. But we may lack the ability to communicate our priorities and values and to engage and regulate ourselves during intense conversations. This often leads to stagnation, limited opportunities, and a lack of meaningful connection. Therapy with me can bring clarity through identifying your strengths and developing additional skills to bolster your ability to tap into your greatness.
