Depression Therapists in Erie County, NY

Do you feel overwhelmed, sad or depressed? Do you feel anxious or lonely? Would you like to have better relationships with the people around you? Together, we can work toward helping you feel better and finding your key to happiness. I have over 15 years of experience helping adults, children, adolescents and families with a variety of concerns and struggles work toward their goals.

I have been in the field for 10 years working with children, teens, adults and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, relationship/family conflict, divorce and domestic violence. I view each individual or family as unique and approach therapy in the same way, meeting them where they are at. Therapy can be uncomfortable and so I try to structure each session as a casual conversation to help facilitate a safe space where change and vulnerability are welcome.

Thank you for visiting my page. Everyone needs help from time to time - sometimes things can just get tough. Navigating difficult symptoms, stressors, unsettling life events on our own can be challenging. Therapy can help you find relief and hope for a better tomorrow. Being vulnerable and discussing difficult areas of our lives can be hard to do - but the long term benefits of working on yourself are worth it… You are worth it! And I am here to help.

Therapy is a journey toward self discovery, self realization, growth and change. Many people find themselves struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, fear and depression. They create inaccurate beliefs about themselves based on false and negative thoughts. The secret to building positive self-esteem is to learn to see the whole you not just your mistakes, failures or imperfections. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance" Oscar Wilde

Seeking out help is not an easy thing to do. My focus is to help you overcome your life's obstacles. I want to help you identify, understand and accept all of your parts. I want to help guide you to heal. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and that transparency is an important part of the process.

A little on edge? Feeling empty? Afraid to trust? Things can feel overwhelming until they’re dissected and explained. Anxiety just wants a plan. Depression is just pointing to a hole or void in our life. Trauma just wants assurance that the traumatic thing won’t happen to us again. All of these are just smoke alarms put in place to keep us safe and whole. Everything we feel makes sense; we aren’t crazy and we aren’t lost causes. Areas Of Focus: Anxiety, depression, youth and family dynamics, finding meaning and purpose, and trauma and adjustment disorders. Catch me on “Fatal Attraction” S13E8! ... Tiktok: dimariobell

I have been a practicing clinician since 2013. I graduated from Fordham University with a concentration in clinical social work. As a therapist, I like to learn about your life as a whole. I truly believe that our life experiences, current coping skills, and resources affect the way we live life.

We are all resilient people that are amazing at adapting and changing with our environments. When those places are unstable, unsafe or inconsistent, we figure out ways to survive. These patterns or beliefs can soothe us, keep us in control or help us to express ourselves. However for many of us, they can also become a burden and themselves a source of suffering. A complicated mix of discomfort as well as serving a meaningful function. No wonder it’s so hard to make changes, even when we have every good reason to. Taking on these patterns may seem overwhelming, however we can begin anywhere and set goals that makes sense for you.

I am a licensed mental health and addictions counselor. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing major life challenges, feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors, coping with grief and loss, experiencing depression, anxiety, and medical / chronic pain issues. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to process your thoughts, feelings, and any struggles that you may be experiencing, as well as offer empathetic listening and guidance.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Sometimes people find themselves thinking about going into counseling for a number of reasons such as feelings of sadness, excessive worry, sleep difficulties, irritability, low energy, loss of interest in activities, or due to problems in relationships. The decision of whether or not to start counseling and who to see, is not an easy one, and can take trial and error in finding the "right fit". I recognize that there are many options in the Buffalo/Niagara area, but I would like to offer you something different from what you may have experienced or heard about counselors in the past.

Everyone deserves someone in their life whom they can trust. You deserve to be heard, and to have someone in your life that is actually listening. My goal is to be that person for my clients. Through a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and genuineness, we can work together to give you the power to tackle the issues most concerning you. By using cognitive-behavioral skills and mindfulness techniques, my goal is to expose my clients to the value of self-worth, the importance of nurturing one’s self-worth, and ultimately crafting a more optimistic version of one's self and their future.

There are a lot of people who move through life in emotional pain. I am an EMDR trained therapist who specializes in helping you understand the impact that life events have on your current thoughts and behaviors. Once this understanding is created it allows us to move forward with treatment that creates a pathway for improved mental health and inner peace. I also help you to understand the relationships in your life, improve communication and manage the interactions.

Emotions come in all sizes. Sometimes it is hard to even name the emotions we are feeling. Whatever it is that brings you here today, I want to normalize how you are feeling. It is my goal to help you name and process those emotions, together in a therapeutic way. I strive to create a safe, non judgemental space to heal and grow into the 'you' you want to be. I understand that reaching out can be frightening, and making the decision to enter therapy shows a lot of strength. I would like to help make this transition as smooth as possible.

A wise person once said, "Call your therapist!" Oh! That was me! Well, this is uncomfortable. Similar to how therapy can feel when you get started. Let's break through that uncomfortable wall together and get your healing process started.
