Hey there! College is a whole other world—fun, stressful, overwhelming, and everything in between. Maybe you’re juggling deadlines, relationships, family pressure, or just trying to figure out who the heck you are and what you actually want. If anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt are getting in the way of your happiness (or your grades), you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I help college students who feel stuck, anxious, or drained by people-pleasing and perfectionism. Together, we’ll work through the stress, heal old wounds, and build confidence so you can actually enjoy your life—not just push through it. My approach is supportive, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. Whether you need a space to vent, tools to handle stress, or a deeper dive into what’s holding you back, I’m here to help. If you’re ready to feel more in control of your life, let’s chat.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal as a therapist is to help you achieve your goals and assist you in resolving or overcoming any challenges you may be facing. I have a no nonsense, solutions focused approach to therapy- the goal is not to have you in therapy forever, but rather to tackle the problem and then go out and live your best life. Deciding to seek help can be really challenging, so congratulations on taking that step! Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey, but keep in mind therapy requires that YOU need to put in the work! I’ll be there to listen to you, and to really challenge you. Of course I will support you along the way. In our first session you will have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I will share my approach to therapy and how I may be able to assist you. From there, if you chose to work with me, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.

Creative practices can often be a safer and more direct way of expressing, experiencing and understanding the most challenging emotions. I'm a creative arts therapist who has been working in New York for over fourteen years. I integrate my experience as a performer in Jazz, improvised and World music as well as my zen practice of over twenty years into a unique and effective approach to therapy. Using both verbal psychotherapy and creative art mediums in a safe and supportive environment I work to guide the therapeutic process towards achieving a client's unique goals. I specialize in working with clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, ASD, trauma and ADHD. I bring together psychodynamic depth and mindfulness — sometimes with music, sometimes without. My work is warm, exploratory, and grounded in who you actually are. No previous musical experience required. If you're curious whether this approach could work for you, I'd love to find out together.

I am a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families in navigating the complexities of relationships. My initial motivation for pursuing Marriage & Family Therapy was my desire to support and uplift families, particularly in areas where seeking mental health services is still stigmatized. I have experience working with sexual, physical, emotional, racial, and intergenerational trauma as a trauma therapist. I've also had training in Gottman therapy, so I can address your concerns in couples therapy. I am bilingual providing therapy in English as well as Spanish. My practice, which is based on a systems framework, places a strong emphasis on providing a secure and accepting environment where clients can discuss issues, develop relationships, and explore obstacles. I am a strong proponent of collaborative therapy, where clients and I work together to develop objectives and tactics that will lead to positive change. Whether it's dealing with communication problems, handling life changes, or handling interpersonal disputes, my mission is to enable people and families to create happier, healthier relationships. I treat each client's individual background and values with sensitivity and respect in my therapy, having a great appreciation for diversity and cultural nuances.

Hi! I am Dr. Amy and I love working with college students, whether as a professor or as a counselor. I understand the types of stress that college students have to navigate and how overwhelming it can feel. Together you and I will break things down into smaller pieces and look at your thoughts and feelings against the background of possible diagnoses. Sometimes having a name for what we are struggling with can be very helpful. I specialize in ADHD, disordered eating, substance misuse, relationship issues, and anxiety/depression. I have been teaching and working with college students for many, many years—primarily teaching attachment and developmental psychology—so psycho-education is a big part of what we will do together. Please feel free to reach out to me to see if we are a good fit.

I have worked as a psychologist at 5 colleges during the course of my career, including serving as a counseling center director for many years. This means that I have a passion and commitment to students who are pursuing their education. Whether you are a traditional age student or non-traditional age student, college brings with it many new experiences and opportunities for personal growth and self discovery which can also be emotionally and interpersonally challenging. I specialize in assisting students with transitions such as changes in family dynamics, romantic relationships, career, adapting to a new environment cultural and other identity issues, educational struggles, stress, grief and loss, and shifts in personal or loved ones’ health. My extensive background in college student mental health has enhanced my ability to collaborate compassionately and respectfully with individuals from all walks of life, helping them gain a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

Being a student is hard work! It takes a level of drive, motivation, grit and determination to keep up with all the demands being asked of you in order to accomplish your goal. For many, this is also not the only stressor you are facing. Whether this is relationship/family/social stress or your own personal journey of exploring your identity, personality and goals, you have come to the right place. So much is happening for you right now and you don't have to figure all this out alone. We can figure this out together. I got you!

It’s easy to feel stuck or broken when we’ve never had the space to allow all of our emotions, the support to feel them safely, and the perspective to view ourselves with compassion. But when we finally get those things, we get to evolve, grow and change in ways that can be truly profound. My job isn’t to force you to do anything, but to help you learn and build what you’ve needed, so that you can evolve in the ways you want to. If I can count on you to teach me about yourself, about what you feel, and what you're hoping for, you can count on me to listen, and to offer options for how we can pursue your goals. I offer an open approach that includes you in deciding what we do and why, so we can be sure we're working in ways that are both understandable and meaningful to you. So far, this approach has led to clear results for people experiencing PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and recent traumas. As we collaborate, I can provide additional support via methods like EMDR, IFS, EAET, mindfulness, exposure, and body-based therapies. Call or email any time.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Rochester, NY

As students or professionals, it is more common than we recognize to be depleted by our daily routine, school or family; to experience self doubt, become overwhelmed or to live with ongoing stress/trauma. Without an opportunity for mental restoration we can become burnt out or disconnected by persistent feelings of depression, anxiety, frustration, apathy, grief or even chronic pain and illness. My aim for each client is to help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness, balance and control over your life. Even if you aren't quite sure of what it is you need - we'll figure it out together. I use a mixture of mixture of traditional therapeutic approaches and Nature Based Therapy (NBT), done either outdoors or in combination with telehealth. This could look as simple as a walk in a park or with more, immersive sensory experiences in nature to get your body in motion and feeling more alive. The ultimate goal is to reduce stress and increase your social, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
