Sometimes things arise in someone's life that seem insurmountable. When talking to friends and family doesn't help it may seem like there is no way through a situation. Speaking to a trained therapist may be the best way to bring about the change you need. This can be difficult and uncomfortable at times but with hard work change is not only possible but inevitable. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues can be treated with strength-based, client-focused treatment.

I am a practicing licensed mental health counselor in Buffalo NY and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. I firmly believe in a Harm Reduction approach to life, not just providing therapy for clients. I also emphasize the importance of the relationship that is therapy and the communication that takes place in the therapeutic environment. I understand the importance of trust in your treatment provider and put my all into reinforcing that my clients can trust me with their deepest. No shame or judgement allowed. That's not my job and would be significantly counterproductive to our goal of change. Shame traps and restricts. No good

What is a good life? For hundreds of years philosophers have tried to answer this question. The search uncovered new questions, as well: What things in life are the most important? How should we relate to the world outside us? How can we best respond to the challenges of life in a way that promotes our welfare rather than hinders it? What role, if any, should religion play? Do we have moral/ethical obligations to others? If so, what are they? These are all big questions. Many behavioral/emotional problems come about because we feel as though the big questions cannot be answered. Philosophical counseling helps find these answers.

I admire & appreciate the courage it takes to initiate & maintain therapy. Indivduals & couples call because they are stuck in unhealthy patterns & do not know how to do something different. I assist them in creating & maintaining healthy patterns. Anxiety & panic are struggles for many people. They learn to control the anxiety as opposed the anxiety controlling them. Miscommunication happens because people often listen to talk as opposed to understand. I teach clients how to communicate in the therapy room so they leave knowing how to do it. Clients regain trust so they can reconnect emotionally & sexually.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
