Therapists in Rochester, NY

At Arise & Shine Counseling, I firmly believe that not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. It is my hope that our partnership will reinforce the understanding that asking for help is a symbol of strength.

Being an adult is HARD! Hell, life, in general, can be challenging. Sometimes you are sad, anxious, or in the throes of an existential crisis. Other times stress and conflict consume your life. It's terrifying and often overwhelming to think you can't change it alone. You aren't sure when or how it got so bad, but you are sure you want to find a way out. You may struggle to make it through the day or breeze through pretending things are okay. Either way, it can no longer be ignored. You've become stagnant and want much more for your life.

Spotted Rabbit therapists aren’t here to “fix” you. We live for empowering neurodivergents, LGBTQ+ folx, and adults who’ve experienced emotional neglect (trauma) to be their true selves and live a life aligned with their own personal values. We specialize in helping teens and adults relax their nervous systems, better regulate their emotions, and develop healthier relationships with others. We are also experienced in treating related conditions such as anxiety, eating disorders, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). We use trauma informed and culturally sensitive practices and believe in an intuitive eating/HAES approach.

Therapy is most meaningful when you have a clear understanding of the work being done, and can see how a specific approach aligns with your values and goals. Since there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, we'll try and track approaches tailored to your individual needs, keep the ones that help, and avoid painful repetition of strategies that don't help. Together, we will aim to build a process that works, and move at a mutually agreed upon pace and direction toward clarity, understanding, and change.

Are you finding yourself in a pattern of repetitive behaviors that often interfere with your relationships/self-esteem?

If you are looking to receive non-judgmental care focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional regulation, you are in the right place!

Welcome to my practice! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. The decision to engage in psychotherapy is not always an easy one. Making your mental health a priority is the first step. It is my belief that therapy is a process of self-exploration. I offer an individualized, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to meet the needs of each client. If you are seeking a collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel supported in your counseling journey, I am here to support you.

Do you find yourself feeling unstable or broken, no matter what you do? You've tried toughing it out, burying your feelings, taking medications, going to therapy. None of it has been enough, and you're afraid you'll never feel better. You're tired of getting triggered, living through the same ups and downs over and over again, and feeling bad about yourself all the time. I want you to know that your life can be better; your life can be good.

I offer a holistic, spiritual approach, specializing in working with Empaths/HSP/OSP and C-PTSD, as well as difficulties around nourishing the Self (eating disorder concerns). I am a trauma-focused therapy practitioner, using somatic and holistic modalities including energy therapy, yoga therapy, nature therapy and therapeutic sound. I am skilled in assisting individuals in attuning to both their internal guidance system of intuition, as well as to their body felt sensation and awareness as vehicles for healing. I am also gifted at working with families and in assisting individuals in working through relational difficulties.

"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.

I have experienced the healing that comes from having the space to explore, grow, and understand new parts of yourself, while also being held and accepted for exactly who you are right now. This doesn’t mean that I won’t challenge you to grow and adapt at times, but my hope is that you will also know you are fully accepted just as you are. I believe that a therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration is the foundation of this work and that counseling can not, and should not, look the same for everybody. In my practice, I structure the therapy around you, your needs, and identities.

I believe each and every individual has the power and courage to make positive changes in their lives, even though there may be times when we struggle to recognize our strengths and our ability to overcome adversity. Although there are times when we feel stuck and without direction, I believe each and every person holds the map to a better future for themselves. Through processing, a trusting relationship, authenticity, unconditional positive regard, and the use of therapeutic modalities; I help my clients identify and work towards goals to make positive changes in their lives.

Shit has hit the fan and now you are left with the mess and while you are generally the one to help others, you are probably wondering where everybody goes when it's you who needs support. You may even start to wonder if you were kidding yourself to believe that you deserve to be helped the way you help others. Perhaps you are considering keeping quiet about your own struggles so you are not disappointed when others don't pull through for you. You have a right to your feelings, you deserve to be heard, and you deserve to heal as much as you help others heal. You can live your best life
