I bring warmth, empathy, extensive experience and passion to my work as a clinician. I am a seasoned therapist working in the field for over 20 years. My priority in working with you is to create a safe space for expression and inter-personal growth. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration in working towards each individual's goals.
I am Anna Rozengauz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience
helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the kind of life transitions that
leave you feeling stuck or uncertain about what comes next. I work with people who are
often high-functioning on the outside but privately exhausted — people who want to
feel more in control of their emotions and more at ease in their own lives. I offer
sessions in both English and Russian, and I work with many clients from Eastern
European and immigrant backgrounds who want a therapist who understands their
cultural frame of reference as much as their symptoms.
Life can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. As a therapist and a longtime educator, I bring warmth, curiosity, and decades of experience helping people through anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, together, we'll build on your strengths and find practical strategies to help you move forward.
I'm Claudia, a bilingual faith-based LMHC with 11 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, panic, and the weight of unprocessed trauma. As a therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients ready to engage in the journey of healing.
I've worked with people navigating immigration stress, family pressure, generational trauma, grief, and burnout — often all at once. My approach is faith-centric, compassionate and culturally grounded. I'm here to walk with you through this time, understand what you're carrying and help you figure out what to do with it. I'm not here to simply hand you worksheets and generic advice.
I see clients via telehealth throughout New York, so wherever you are in the state, support is accessible.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Buffalo
Searching for addiction therapists in Buffalo starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, behavioral concerns, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-based care when a prescriber is part of your care team.
Buffalo offers both local in-person therapists and virtual options across New York, which can help you find a better fit for your schedule, preferences, and goals. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to choose a therapist who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and experience with addiction care. Review therapist bios for details on specialty focus, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
