Jennifer Downie

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Buffalo, NY


I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a therapist for help with life's difficult challenges, and to find hope in the midst of struggle. It is my joy as a therapist, and as a human being, to help individuals find that hope within themselves. I have many years of experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, anger management, PTSD, childhood trauma, ADHD, substance use and grief and loss. I especially enjoy working with young people trying to navigate these challenges. I also work with couples and older adults. Grief and loss is an area of expertise.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Buffalo

Finding postpartum therapists in Buffalo starts with knowing what kind of support fits this stage of care. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience in perinatal mental health, post-natal care, postpartum care services, or post pregnancy care. A listed PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.

In Buffalo, local options may include therapists with offices near your home, workplace, or regular route, while virtual sessions can expand access when scheduling is tight. For many new parents, appointment time, infant care, physical recovery, and transportation all shape what feels realistic. You can narrow your search by availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you see how they describe postpartum care plans, communication style, and experience with new parents.

Postpartum health care in Buffalo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and see available options in Buffalo. You can review profiles, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

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