My name is Sara and I graduated from Adelphi in 2017 with my MSW. Shortly after I obtained my license and began to work in Queens in a hospital doing inpatient psychiatric social work. I have worked with all populations on each of our specialty units, including adolescents, young and older adults, and aging. I spent most of my time working with individuals aged 18-62 presenting with a multitude of acute crises. I range from working with individuals experience first-break symptoms, all through chronic and treatment resistant symptoms. I have also held supervisory and administrative roles, in which I provided direct supervision and guidance for other healthcare professionals, primarily social workers. I also specialize in family dynamics and counseling, as well as mediation.
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. My name is Courtney, and I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 20 years. I view the therapy relationship as a collaboration, with my primary role as a guide in creating a safe container for healing, achieving balance & empowerment, and developing insight & conscious awareness for a more positive and fulfilling life. My style is that of curiosity, non-judgment, and compassion for your experience, while together we cocreate a therapeutic path forward to heal old wounds and evolve into new healthy behaviors and coping abilities.
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with extensive training in Trauma-Focused therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Creative Arts Therapy, Somatic Therapies, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe understanding the brain as it relates to both trauma and meditation is an empowering first step on the healing journey.
I follow a person-centered, eclectic and integrative approach to treatment, grounded in Energy Psychology, evidence-based treatments, trauma-focused interventions, meditation, spirituality and creative wellness. I am passionate about this work, and I welcome the opportunity to connect with you to determine if we would be a good fit.
I am a clinician with several years of experience in addiction, depression, grief, bereavement, ACOA issues. My approach to treatment is direct but gentle encouragement to help a client deal with their feelings and make changes that are beneficial for them. My dynamic is serious but also humorous. I truly believe that in some cases laughter is the best medicine. I accept clients ages 25+.

Welcome! My name is Joel Kuppersmith, I am a clinical psychologist based in Huntington, NY. My experience in working with individuals , couples and families has been mutually gratifying. Although changes have occurred in the mental health field, including more targeted medications and claims for instant relief, I believe people desire a more qualitative overall improvement in themselves and in their relationships.
In my practice, I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, or dementia who are ready for change but may feel uncertain about where to start. Together, we will identify your unique needs, set meaningful goals, and create a personalized plan that supports healing, growth, and long-term well-being. My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms but rediscover balance, resilience, and hope.
I help you simplify your medications and narrow down to 1-2 medications that work best for you. My patients would describe me as thoughtful and caring. I strive for patient focused care and manage symptoms with medications that you feel comfortable taking. You set the pace of your treatment. I believe in informed and collaborative decision making.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Canandaigua, NY
Searching for therapists in Canandaigua starts with matching your needs to the right clinical experience. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and populations listed in their profiles. Some therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Others may note experience with specific communities, ages, or concerns.
In a smaller city like Canandaigua, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Canandaigua 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 find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
