Therapists in Williamsville, NY

I prioritize compassion, empathy, transparency, and unconditional support in the therapeutic alliance. I facilitate therapy with the understanding that our past may impact our present and believe that each person can achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life with the right tools and support. During your healing journey, I will support you in exploring and reducing negative emotions, triggers, and responses so that you can prove to yourself that you can be successful in reducing maladaptive behaviors, alleviating symptoms and functional limitations.

I specialize in helping teens and young adults with stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, relationship issues and other daily stressors. With my "glass half-full" mentality, I will give you the tools to help you find clarity and purpose to set you on a more positive path. Life isn't always easy and sometimes you just want to run away from your issues. Instead, I will help you face them head on by teaching you healthy coping mechanisms.

Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.

I believe that everyone has a purpose. A greatness that is held within them, designed to change the world for the better. In life, we face challenges that sometimes cause us to become forgetful of our power, whether it is within the confines of a romantic relationship or the one of the pinnacles of personal growth.

I enjoy working with a variety of people. An area of special interest to me is helping someone who is experiencing loss, either due to a break up, job loss, family issues, or the death of a loved one. In addition, I have many years experience helping people deal with depression, anxiety,and life transitions. We all have life problems that arise at some point, and it is rewarding to help a person change, grow, and become happier.

Whether you are seeking help for individual growth, healing trauma, or relationship challenges, as a Marriage and Family therapist I can help you better navigate the world you live in to create a more fulfilling life. I am a licensed psychotherapist and a certified yoga and meditation teacher. I am EMDR trained and currently seeking certification. Through my professional experience, training and clinical research, I have found that integrating mind-body-spirit, and EMDR into psychotherapy provides greater insight and deeper healing than talk therapy alone.

I am so glad you found me! Please come as you are with your scars and flaws, hopes and dreams, laughter and screams. Taking the first step to choose therapy takes strength and I am proud of you for getting started! What courage you have displayed by going against the safety of your boundaries, fighting your fears and exposing yourself. I help people change their narrative, thoughts, emotions and behaviors related to internal struggles and pain. I will gladly take that walk and journey with you, in hopes to improve coping strategies and put the discomfort in a better context.

My goal is to help you reach yours. I have close to 20 years experience in counseling individuals and couples in the areas of mental health, addiction, recovery from trauma, relationship issues, stress management, grief and loss, spirituality issues, and a host of other issues. I work to promote healing and growth for the mind, body, and spirit. I am accepting new referrals; call today so that together, we can begin the journey towards your goals.

I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for a variety of mental health conditions. CBT is a goal focused therapy that involves techniques like learning coping strategies, tracking thinking patterns, and changing daily routines. You might be a good fit for this type of treatment if you have a particular set of symptoms you'd like to reduce (e.g., depression, anxiety, insomnia) or if you have a specific life stressor you'd like to address (e.g., experience of physical or sexual violence, combat, exposure to trauma in the workplace). I provide therapy exclusively via telehealth because I want to make treatment easier to access.

Please contact me via email. Are you a woman struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues? I can help. I help women sort through their feelings and concerns. It is possible to feel better. In a judgement free environment, you will be welcomed to express your feelings, needs and struggles. Together we will work through your concerns and develop ways to navigate the ups and downs of life.

Licensed in NY and PA! Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Are you having issues in your relationship, and you're not sure how to fix them? I am here to help. I provide inclusive, identity-affirming care to individuals and couples seeking help for a variety of issues, such as anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, and more. I am experienced working with the LGBTQ+ population, and I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I also provide EMDR intensives for those who are looking for an accelerated, evidence-based trauma treatment.

I am a licensed clinical social work psychotherapist in NY, RI & MA and recognized as a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. I see individuals and couples via Telehealth throughout NY, RI & MA. I bring over 25 years of clinical experience to this work providing evidence-based care, infused with respect and dignity, that honors the strengths and resilience of individuals. I am also trained as a yoga and mindfulness meditation instructor, so working with adults and adolescents (16+ years old) I provide psychotherapy within a compassionate, holistic and integrated model of care.

The biggest lessons I learned and I utilize today in psychotherapy practice is that every individual is the expert in their own life and with the right guidance can tap into their strengths to achieve their goals. People need a safe space to work through what is bothering them. The most important question is not "What is wrong with you?", but rather, "What has happened to you?" We are shaped and influenced by our experiences. At times, unfortunately, this comes out as anxiety, depression, unhealthy habits, relationship issues, and a myriad of other mental health issues.

Are you bothered by your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors? Experiencing grief, loss, death of a pet, depression, anxiety, stress? I have great compassion for all of the above. Life can be tough and uncertain. Let us work together toward better days. I will help guide you through your struggles, assist you with lessening your symptoms, and managing your stressors. You can learn how to break unhelpful patterns, soften destructive thoughts, and become "unstuck", all in a non-judgmental, warm, safe, supportive environment.

Life can often be challenging. You may feel you've gotten "off track" and need some direction. You may be overwhelmed with things and don't know what to do or how to make it better. It may be starting to affect your relationships, and you don't know how to stop it. You may be wondering what's wrong with you and why this keeps happening, or whether you're depressed. Perhaps you're having panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Or maybe you seem to have developed social anxiety. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or aren't content with your life. You want things to be different, you just don't know how to make that happen. You might be wondering whether you're always going to feel this way. You've got a lot going for you, you've accomplished quite a bit, but it still feels like there's something missing. You're not sure what else to do. Most of us feel this way at some point in our lives. Especially when trying to handle the stress of life, relationships and the impact of certain events all at once.

Between managing the demands of daily stressors, obligations, and expectations it is natural to feel overwhelmed, stuck or alone. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, relationships, challenging emotions, unwanted patterns or symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy can help.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked in a variety of settings including inpatient and community crisis outreach. It is my passion to help individuals break down the barriers that are preventing them from experiencing a happier and more fulfilling life. It is my heartfelt belief that whatever challenges you may be facing, there is always light at the end of the tunnel- you can discover your true potential and life's path.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? At times life can deal us a difficult hand, and these events can change the way we see ourselves and the world. We can be left feeling lost and angry, and we might struggle with depression and anxiety that feels completely out of control. These events can cause us to feel isolated and alone, and it can be difficult to ask for help. The process of therapy can create a safe space for you to reconnect and heal. Together we can create your path toward healing and empowerment. As a licensed therapist, I have experience with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.
