Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Amherst, NY


Hi, I’m Lindsey, a psychotherapist who works with adult (18+) individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I believe the most effective therapy is a collaborative process where we work together as a team to identify what’s not working and build practical, meaningful solutions that fit your life. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and actively involved in your own healing.

We begin by building a strong therapeutic alliance—creating a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and grounded in trust. From there, we explore your specific needs, patterns, and goals in a way that feels respectful of your pace and readiness.

Life presents pain and uncertainty. To learn and live by a perspective that takes you beyond ego, is to find meaning in your suffering as you sit with discomfort and take a closer look at your experience with vulnerability. Finding balance within yourself is not gained through the absence of worry and adversity-it’s discovered through a process of understanding and practicing self- acceptance and self-compassion while in the midst of life struggles. Let's explore your relationship with the negative aspects of human experience. As you look inward with honesty and without harsh judgement you can find yourself closer to your true self.

Sometimes words don’t fully capture our experiences or do them justice. My journey into this work began with the discovery that art, music, movement, and other forms of creative expression can communicate the parts of ourselves that language alone cannot reach. These expressions are deeply human and can become powerful pathways to insight, healing, and connection.

My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Buffalo, NY

Finding couples therapists in Buffalo starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life transitions. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it can help to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bio.

In a mid-size city like Buffalo, the right fit often comes down to both clinical match and logistics. Some couples prefer an in-person office near home, work, or a familiar part of the city, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier for two people. As you compare Buffalo couples counseling options, look at appointment availability, whether each therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief consultation. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions and works with both partners.

Couples 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 care begins. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who provide couples therapy, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and list available times, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
