Hi, I'm Ani, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in grief, life transitions, relationship stress, and supporting people navigating the pressures of cultural identity and immigration. I'm also bilingual in Armenian, and I welcome clients who want to do this work in their first language.
Before I was a therapist I worked as a Behavior Technician and Care Manager for children, adolescents, adults and their families in the upstate New York region. I have extensive experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, working with children, adolescents and adults treating anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, and ADHD.
---“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up” (Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats)
Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives. We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Pittsford, NY
Searching for therapists in Pittsford starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and population experience that connect to your needs. A profile that explains how a therapist works can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.
In a smaller community like Pittsford, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search across New York while keeping care easier to fit into your schedule. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and session structure.
Therapy in Pittsford can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to check whether a provider is in-network for your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then review therapist profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
