LGBT therapists in Buffalo, NY

Hi! My name is Siah, I am a transfem LCSW who uses they/them pronouns. I have experience working with folks from a multitude of backgrounds since 2015. I have worked with concerns related to trauma, grief/bereavement, anxiety and depression. I live in Brooklyn and have a fluffy cat named Marcy.

I bring warmth, empathy, extensive experience and passion to my work as a clinician. I am a seasoned therapist working in the field for over 20 years. My priority in working with you is to create a safe space for expression and inter-personal growth. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration in working towards each individual's goals.

I am Anna Rozengauz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience

helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the kind of life transitions that

leave you feeling stuck or uncertain about what comes next. I work with people who are

often high-functioning on the outside but privately exhausted — people who want to

feel more in control of their emotions and more at ease in their own lives. I offer

sessions in both English and Russian, and I work with many clients from Eastern

European and immigrant backgrounds who want a therapist who understands their

cultural frame of reference as much as their symptoms.

I specialize in working with adults ages 18-40, focusing on religious trauma, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, relationships, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My work is rooted in psychodynamic therapy and incorporates CBT & DBT skills according to each client's needs.

Melissa specializes in working with people from many walks of life -from those that are just looking to become more aware of their internal patterns to those with specific goals. She has experience working in high stress environments, with clients who have issues related to mental health, substance use, trauma, and more. She is also passionate about helping those who are interested in cultivating leadership skills, managing the stress of challenging work environments, supervising staff and employee burnout prevention.

I am a warm, grounded therapist who prioritizes emotional safety while building genuine rapport. Once trust is established, I thoughtfully challenge clients in ways that promote insight and growth without undermining that sense of security. I allow glimpses of my own humanity, which helps clients feel understood while still maintaining clear professional boundaries. Overall, my style reflects a balance of compassion, depth, and seasoned clinical judgment.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and the impact of racial and ethnic social injustices. I work with clients who are seeking support during difficult life experiences and who want to better understand themselves and their relationships.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.
