Hello, I’m Glenda G. Momrelle-Clarke, LMHC-D, LPC, a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and Clinical Director of Soul Discovery Mental Health Counseling Services. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and leaders navigate life's challenges while fostering emotional wellness, personal growth, and meaningful change.

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.
