Looking for couples therapy that honors your story and safeguards your privacy? Whole Stories Therapy is a woman-owned practice in Buffalo offering inclusive, trauma-informed care to couples and individuals across New York. We specialize in relationship counseling, communication support, and healing from relational trauma. Our sliding-scale, identity-affirming services are available both in person and via telehealth, making it easy for couples + individuals to access compassionate care that fits their lives. Rooted in community care, we host a free book library and regularly collect donations for local food banks.
Our LGBTQIA+ affirming therapists specialize in complex trauma, addiction, sexual health, cult recovery, and neurodivergence. We offer EMDR, Brainspotting, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, and Therapeutic TTRPG. We’re kink and poly knowledgeable, providing inclusive, trauma-informed care beyond talk therapy.
We offer sliding scale pricing to ensure quality care is accessible to all. Open Path Collective members can see a practicum therapist for $30/session. Full-fee sessions with Sabrina ($100), Erik ($200), and Ashera ($250) help fund our Queer Mental Health Fund, supporting pro bono therapy for LGBTQIA+ clients.
