Couples therapists in Buffalo, NY

If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can, with the options we see as available to us. We like to feel we always make our best decisions.

Throughout my career, I have had the honor of working with people at all levels of life. Many who are seeking change, and some who have been forced to talk with a therapist. All of whom are, on some level, scared of the change they are seeking.

Whatever brings you here, I offer warmth and compassion.

Are you part of the LGBTQIA+/kink/BDSM/ENM communities or seeking to explore this part of your identity? Have you ever felt judgment upon bringing this up? Have you ever just not felt comfortable bringing this up? Well, as a queer kink-identified therapist I understand that this is part of your identity and not a pathology. Does this mean I am going to try to move you towards ethical non monogamy or kink/BDSM? Nope! It means that this is a safe space to be you or explore those ideas. And if that’s not you? I welcome you as well.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Sean. I help people break out of vicious cycles and build a life they love to live.

I work with individuals from birth to age 30, and their families. My specialty is treating ADHD and other complex issues for which help is often hard to find.

In addition to my doctoral training, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Geisinger in pediatric psychology (2014). I am a licensed psychologist in PA and NY.

My name is Courtney Kadish-Smith and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked in both mental health and addiction throughout my career. I have a passion for therapy and at the end of the day I am aware this is not an easy thing to commit too. Exploring into ourselves and working to get better is something that takes courage. I applaud you for reaching out in the first place and now we can take the step together towards making your life better.

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.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a therapist for help with life's difficult challenges, and to find hope in the midst of struggle. It is my joy as a therapist, and as a human being, to help individuals find that hope within themselves. I have many years of experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, anger management, PTSD, childhood trauma, ADHD, substance use and grief and loss. I especially enjoy working with young people trying to navigate these challenges. I also work with couples and older adults. Grief and loss is an area of expertise.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and I am committed to helping you feel supported and understood from day one through your life's challenges with compassion and care. My training and clinical experience have equipped me to work with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel respected and heard. My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting emotional well-being.

I am an LCSW-C, an Orthodox Jewish mother of three, and a psychotherapist. I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist who helps clients navigate anxiety, OCD, trauma, life transitions, grief, emotional regulation, marriage and relationships, and women’s mental health, including body image, self-esteem, parenting and motherhood, perinatal and postpartum experiences, and perimenopause.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, CPT, IFS, ACT, and somatic techniques, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with an emphasis on tangible progress, practical tools, and meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, structured, and empowering space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, expand their emotional toolbox, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and agency.

Hello there!

I am an LCSW who has worked in various treatment settings: community-based outpatient clinics (article 31), in the community (ACT team), and residential. I have worked in various roles: mental health therapist, family therapist, clinical supervisor, assistant clinical director, and associate director. I have a wealth of experience in treating clients with various diagnoses including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, life transitions, socioeconomic concerns, OCD, BPD, ODD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, autism, eating disorders , chronic health conditions, etc.

My name is Casey, and I am a licensed clinical social worker based in New York City. Most recently, I have been working at an NYU Langone family health center in Brooklyn, supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, with a particular focus on co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.

Before becoming a therapist, I developed programming and partnerships for a company centered on holistic wellness and spiritual inquiry. Through that work, I was exposed to alternative modalities such as herbalism, psychedelics, astrology, tarot, and Eastern philosophies. These experiences have deepened my understanding of healing and complement the tools offered by contemporary psychology.

I’m Jen DiGianni, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents and adults through individual, family, and couples therapy. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and women’s mental health concerns, including postpartum anxiety and depression.

I believe that the strength and confidence you’re looking for already exist within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths and build the tools needed to manage life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

I know starting with a new therapist can feel hard, and

building trust takes time. I’m patient, warm, and intentional

about creating a comfortable space where you can feel

supported as you grow and build resilience. I work with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQIA+ and transgender-related concerns, grief, relationship challenges, and life adjustments. Some people come to me in the middle of a crisis. Others come because something has felt off for a long time and they’re finally ready to look at it. Both are good reasons to start.
