Being a young professional in New York City means juggling a lot at once. A demanding job, relationships, family expectations, and the quiet question of whether you're actually building the life you want. If you're feeling stretched thin, stuck, or unsure of your next move, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.

I work with driven, high-achieving individuals in their 20s and 30s who are navigating career pressure, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and the everyday stress of living and working in a fast-paced city. Many of my clients are successful on paper but feel anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from what actually matters to them. Others are at a crossroads, being a career change, a relationship decision, a move, a new phase of adulthood, and want support thinking it through clearly.

Therapy with me isn't just a space to vent. It's a space to grow. I'll challenge you when it's useful, support you when things are hard, and help you leave each session with something you can actually use. If you're ready to stop just getting through the week and start building a life that feels aligned and sustainable, I'd love to work with you.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

Hazel Rumph

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I became a social worker because I believe people are more capable of change than they are often given credit for—they need the right support to get there.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals, families, and couples of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and mood disorders, ADHD, autism, and emotional dysregulation — but I'm always focused on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, because some of the most powerful change happens when the people around you understand you better, too.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Buffalo

Finding family therapists in Buffalo starts with identifying what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, or a therapist specializing in blended families if those needs match your situation.

Buffalo has a range of therapists across the city and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointment options. Virtual care can add more flexibility if it is hard for multiple family members to meet in the same office. Session structure may also vary. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, partners, or individual family members. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to understand their approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit and session structure.

Family counseling in Buffalo, NY can be a significant expense 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 helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, verify insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
