Grief counselors and therapists in Buffalo, NY

I graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s of Science Degree in Clinical Practice of Social Work. I found my niche after completing undergraduate in Early Childhood Education (kudos to our teachers!) and Sociology/Psychology. These experiences paved the way to my clinical social work journey. I obtained clinical licensure by working with adolescents in both school and therapeutic settings, foster/adoptive families, and adults with serious persistent mental illness.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate and nonjudgmental mental health care for individuals seeking healing, balance, and personal growth. I believe every person’s story is unique, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where my clients feel heard and valued.

My approach is holistic and collaborative — I look at the whole person, not just symptoms, integrating evidence-based treatments with empathy and understanding. Together, we identify meaningful goals and create practical, sustainable solutions that support emotional well-being, resilience, and self-empowerment.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply need a safe place to process your thoughts, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Hello, my name is Lindsay, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I practice a person-centered approach to therapy, where the therapeutic relationship is collaborative, and together, we work to create the best treatment plan for you.

I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with traumatic experiences, anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and other challenging mental health concerns.

Greetings. I am a warm, astute, and engaged Psychologist, who is committed to providing you with a safe and compassionate space in which to take on life’s challenges and overcome barriers to a fuller, more engaged, and rewarding life. I work with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, grief, general discontent, as well as work and academic distress. I am also well trained in working with trauma (early abuse and neglect), and relationship struggles (work, family and romantic).

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals

I address concerns with family dynamics, infidelity, trauma in relationships, cultural concerns, interracial identities, breaking generational cycles, shifts in desires, sex therapy, communications challenges & non traditional relationships.

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 believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable talking openly, even when life feels overwhelming. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Hello! My name is Christina and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated from The University at Albany with my Masters Degree and have over 9 years of experience working with youth and adults in many different settings. My work fosters a safe, gentle and non-judgmental learning environment for all of my clients.

Long lasting change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves. It can be incredibly challenging to focus on our own emotional life and internal experience. I provide a warm, supportive space to explore and process whatever is on your mind. I have extensive experience engaging in psychotherapy with adults facing a wide range of life experiences, from managing depression, to adapting to major life changes, to facing grief after loss of a loved one.
