Therapists for college students near The University of Rochester

With 17 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in supporting children and young adults. My clinical practice is dedicated to helping young individuals navigate emotional and social challenges that accompany life transitions. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or school-related issues, I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your feelings and develop a plan to become the best version of you!

In your sessions I offer a safe space and a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate approach. You are in the driver’s seat. I’ve got the roadmap and I am ready to help you navigate your goals and guide you on your journey…the winding roads, the forks that unexpectedly spring up, the boulders that feel so heavy, and also celebrate the roads with smooth paths where you have the window down, feel the wind in your hair, and the smell of hope in the breeze. So get in the car (or hop on Zoom!), we’re going on a life trip! Throughout my career I have assisted individuals in their journeys with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, executive functioning skills, life transitions, relationships, and caregiving across the lifespan. Let’s do this. I believe in you and I can’t wait to start working with you. I specialize in (but not limited to) working with individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, individuals with physical and acquired disabilities, individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, as well as young adults navigating life transitions, college, and the overwhelming journey of “adulting.”

I offer the ability to engage conversation regarding anything from test anxiety to the meaning of life. I love working with the college population because they are just finding out who they are and are always thinking critically about themselves and where their talents and abilities fit into this chaotic world. I can help provide guidance to discover what is preventing you from reaching your full potential in both an emotional and intellectual way.

We all can struggle with life transitions, among those are entering college and graduating.

I aim to work with you to identify what gets in the way of a more fulfilling life and then to work together to figure out ways to better relate to difficult internal thoughts and feelings and external circumstances. I'm a collaborative therapist who knows that you are the expert when it comes ... to you. I want to serve as a guide. I like to have a bit of a sense of humor and encourage with an emphasis on finding your strengths and what matters most to you.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 9 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process. In my 9 years of practice working with many different people with a large variety of diagnoses, I have come to individualize treatment utilizing a variety of techniques including talk-therapy, non-verbal therapies (EMDR), and art-based techniques. The path to healing is not straight and can feel like an impossible task, but we do not have to walk alone. The human body has incredible power to recall difficult memories, bury negative thoughts, and to remind us of unfinished business. However, the body can also heal itself given the right environment. Together we can journey towards health and happiness.

I strive to build that trust by being genuine, empathetic, and dependable, always offering kindness, respect, and acceptance while using social work principles, ethical practices, and evidence-based techniques.

Since 1985, we have been committed to helping our clients and their families overcome and deal with substance abuse and dependency issues, including alcohol, drugs, prescription medications, smoking, and vaping. Our state of the art, holistic approach to treatment and long-term recovery includes addressing the medical, psychological, social, family and behavioral factors that influence and perpetuate these complex and chronic health conditions. We believe the most successful treatment strategies are based on the needs of each individual. As every story is different, so is each path to recovery and wellness. We help our clients map out their own unique strategy, and guide them along the way.

We are all going through an important transitional stress at this point. My practice is focused on helping people develop better coping skills and understanding of own potential in dealing with adversity. I am currently accepting new clients and I use telehealth to connect with new and older clients.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy. ABOUT ME: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating, you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I work primarily with individuals and unfortunately am not accepting couples into my practice at this time. I build resilience by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, life's ups and downs, be it learning to be kinder to yourself or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess. We can sort through the piles together and see if we can't come out with some gold.

I'm a clinical psychologist and a trained psychoanalyst. I believe that what promotes growth and mental health is the process of putting real but hard to see aspects of your experience into words. This decreases their power and brings them more to heel for you. This is different from challenging thoughts or skill building. You as the patient should have clear evidence in therapy that you're coming to understand yourself better and more fully. Old, stuck ways of thinking should slowly give way to the ability to think more effectively about what is and what can be. Your sense of 'you' should grow wider and more secure, and your ability live and act with purpose of your choosing should slowly build.

I aim to help guide my clients to where they want to be in their life. This means creating a nonjudgemental space that can be used however it is most helpful to each individual, whether it be learning new coping skills or having a safe space to discuss difficult topics.

I have fortified my knowledge with extensive coursework in diversity, inclusion, social justice advocacy, and awareness. My belief is in fostering a supportive and empathetic counseling environment where my clients are not only heard but also understood. I also enjoy incorporating artistic expression into my counseling approach. I strive to understand each and every one of my client's unique identities and specific needs. I understand how difficult and daunting it can be to take the first step in reaching out for help and I will honor the pace at which you may need. I am dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for my clients.
