Depression Therapists in Pittsford, NY

My therapy style is relational and I am particularly skilled at helping clients identify feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that impede efforts to form and maintain fulfilling relationships. Together, in a warm and empathetic atmosphere, we will look into your unique past and come to understand how that history is connected to your current emotional pain. Emotional pain tends to manifest as some variety of anxiety and/or depression. Understandably, we all look to alleviate anxiety and depression. Coping methods such as drugs/alcohol, may do the trick, initially. However, they tend to stop working, and ultimately lead to more misery.

Hello! My name is Lynne Pier, LCSW. Through my 23 years of experience in clinical social work, I have expertise in working with diverse populations across various agencies, including a rewarding and challenging 8-year tenure within the school system. As someone who struggled with anxiety and depression as a teenager, I am able to better relate to teens that are struggling with their mental health. Because of this, I am most passionate about working with children with severe mental health issues between 6-16, those struggling with ADHD, depression, ptsd, and anxiety.

My approach to therapy is warm, inviting, and challenging. I value compassion and "realness" and approach my work with clients from a place of curiosity and respect. I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful work to occur and work with my clients to identify what feels most important to explore and address in therapy. Our work together may involve processing and organizing difficult life experiences or memories, preparing for major life transitions, or navigating challenges relating to depression/anxiety.

I am a certified hypnotist, credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor, and a certified rehabilitation counselor. I have worked as a psychotherapist at Unity Health System for twenty years, offering treatment to clients for mental illnesses, ranging from Mild Anxiety to Psychotic Disorders. I am certified as a Hypnotist and have a practice of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a treatment modality which is effective and safe. I have worked with physicians, dentists and many other professionals to help them deal with everyday problems like obesity, stress, pain, smoking, addiction, PTSD, relationship issues, children's emotional problems, OCD, anxiety, low self esteem, depression etc.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist whose approach to therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental, direct, and warm. I strive to create a space you can better understand yourself, your emotions, your interpersonal relationships and, consequently, live a more fulfilling life. I work with adults who are experiencing emotional distress (such as anxiety and depression), grief and loss, relationship issues, or going through life changes (e.g., dislocation, career decisions, starting college). I have interest and experience with identity-based work (e.g., sexual orientation) and parenting.

Are you interested in making positive changes in your life, but need some guidance and insight into how to meet your goals? Curious about what may be holding you back or causing you to feel stuck? Life is unpredictable and challenging and none of us have all the tools in our toolbox to deal with the many twists and turns. I am here to help unconditionally support you, provide different perspectives, and focus on solutions if and when you are ready for them. Together we can gain back a sense of empowerment and get you moving in a positive direction.

No one aspires to be in therapy indefinitely. My clients walk through the door bearing similar worries, but their real concerns often differ from their initial perceptions. They express desires to "fix my anxiety," "solve my depression," or "quit smoking marijuana." What they're truly communicating is, "I want to flourish, I want to deepen my relationships with those I care about, and I'm weary of these issues."

I use both traditional talk therapy and the creative process to help clients express feelings and heal issues related to anxiety, depression, appropriate coping techniques, self-esteem, emotional organization, and trauma. I encourage clients to challenge their long held beliefs and feelings about themselves that are, in fact, untrue. Through this type of work you will begin to get in touch with your potential and your true nature. Personal accountability and the motivation to evolve are an important factor in the type of therapy I provide.

If you feel anxious, depressed, fearful, relationship or family problems? We offer a cutting edge integrative assessment to address possible sources of your mental health symptoms versus simply treating the symptoms. We look at your overall health including hormones, vitamin deficiency and environmental issues that may play a role. We develop a unique individualized evidence based treatment plan to manage or resolve your symptoms. I bring an integrative strength based perspective to my counseling. We teach mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with an unwanted change, unmet expectations, or a significant health diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness? These experiences impact how we cope and live our lives. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible; finding a therapist that you connect well with and where you feel comfortable is a vital part of that healing. People can sometimes struggle to find a space that is just theirs to be able to process the good, the bad and the in between... but our sessions together can be just that. Your space and time to have a moment to focus on your needs.

Hello and welcome. Life can be stressful and difficult to cope with at times. Throughout my 20 years of experience as a therapist, my strengths are in working with teens, young adults and families on goals to address stressors and emotional challenges. Deciding to engage in therapy can be intimidating. However learning evidence based strategies, in a calm and non judgmental environment, can help to better manage anxiety, depression, stress, parenting struggles, life transitions, and interpersonal stressors. These changes can be rewarding and life changing.

Accepting New Clients- I specialize in helping sensitive and deep-thinking people to rediscover their sense of purpose, meaning and joy. You may find yourself longing for change. You may feel disconnected from what brings you joy. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life stressors and you just want to feel calm and centered again. You may be experiencing anxiety/depression or burnout. When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious it can make it hard to feel like a good partner, parent, employee, family member or friend. The good news is that counseling can help with all of this!

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing life stressors, loss, conflict, change, illness or trauma? When this happens, and coping skills break down, life quickly unravels. Compassion, empathy and ability, paired with a therapist who can guide you to healing, can really help you feel better and improve your quality of life. That person is me, and I am honored to walk along with you on the path to healing. Rarely is a single approach right for healing, growth and change. Rather, I believe in an eclectic approach to ensure one's desired goals for treatment are met.

I am honored to assist individuals in their personal journeys of change who are struggling to recover their ability to effectively respond to life’s challenges. I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, the aftermath of trauma, and relationship difficulties. I work within a framework of respect, warmth, and attention to the dignity and worth of every person. I am passionate about helping you learn tools that will empower you to become the person you truly want to be. I encourage you to continually evaluate the quality of our work together to ensure that I am meeting your needs.

Have you reviewed multiple write ups on Psychology Today looking for the right therapist? Do you feel confused because there are so many individuals listed that are willing and ready to help? The right "fit" is so important to me and I hope that you might consider my holistic and uplifting approach to treatment. I am so honored and humbled to help people on their path to healing and I strive to keep therapy relevant and comfortable. Most clients tell me, "You are not like any therapist that I have ever met before!". I always take this as a compliment.

Currently, I only have Monday morning appointments available. Have you been thinking about counseling for awhile? It's not uncommon for people to consider getting help for months before they make the first call. But remember, counseling is just people talking to each other. My goal is to help you to feel comfortable. I strive to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where people can develop the insights and skills they need to grow. My approach to counseling is down to earth and practical. I use a solution-focused approach that builds on the strengths already present in my clients.
