Searching for a therapy practice that aligns with your values and protects your privacy? Welcome to Whole Stories Therapy. We are a woman-owned small business on the West Side of Buffalo committed to providing client-centered care to clients across New York State. We have in-person availability as well as telehealth availability to clients based in New York. We provide culturally competent, identity affirming care on a sliding scale.
It is our mission to create positive change in the community through continued outreach and presence. We continually collect food for local food banks and supply a free library of books.
We have therapists that specialize in complex trauma, addiction, sexual dysfunction, cult recovery, and neurodivergence. We are a kink + poly knowledgeable group and are LGBTQIA+ affirming. Aside from talk therapy, we have therapists trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, and Therapeutic TTRPG!
We are committed to quality care for all and offer sliding scale pricing. Members of Open Path Collective can see a therapist in practicum for just $30/session. People able to pay the full fee for Linden + Sabrina ($100), Erik ($200), and Ashera ($250) contribute to our Queer Mental Health Fund, which allows us to see pro bono clients as well.
