Therapist

Virtual • New York


My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

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.

Lin Chen

Lin Chen

Therapist

Virtual • Brooklyn, NY


I hold as fundamental that every person deserves to feel genuinely met. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in presence: the belief that healing unfolds in the quality of the space between therapist and client.

I practice with a deep attunement to the body, drawing on somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the wisdom held in their nervous systems, and their narratives.

Alongside this, I bring a profound commitment to deep listening, not simply hearing words, but attending to the subtle rhythms of affect, silence, and sensation that often carry what language cannot.

I approach each person with the conviction that being truly seen and accepted is itself transformative; I strive to meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and an unwavering sense of their inherent worth.

I also hold cultural context as an essential lens, recognizing that our histories, identities, and communities shape how we experience ourselves, our pain, and what healing can look like. Whether working across language, culture, or lived experience, I create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuinely safe, attuned, and affirming of the whole person.

I'm Claudia, a bilingual faith-based LMHC with 11 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, panic, and the weight of unprocessed trauma. As a therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients ready to engage in the journey of healing.

I've worked with people navigating immigration stress, family pressure, generational trauma, grief, and burnout — often all at once. My approach is faith-centric, compassionate and culturally grounded. I'm here to walk with you through this time, understand what you're carrying and help you figure out what to do with it. I'm not here to simply hand you worksheets and generic advice.

I see clients via telehealth throughout New York, so wherever you are in the state, support is accessible.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Buffalo

Finding OCD therapists in Buffalo starts with looking for a therapist who has specific experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder and related concerns, such as intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, checking, contamination fears, and reassurance seeking. Exposure and response prevention, also called ERP, is a well-established therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist profiles, look for clear references to OCD, ERP, exposure and response prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and experience supporting people with the concerns you want to address.

Buffalo has a strong mental health care community, though the right OCD fit may depend on both specialty training and practical access. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near them, while others use virtual sessions to consider more therapists across the Buffalo area and nearby communities. When comparing options, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty. Check whether they mention ERP training, current appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they describe their session structure or communication style.

Therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists, review detailed bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you are ready. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking.
