My name is Angela Mang and I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York State. I take a person-centered approach to therapy and believe everyone is equipped with the tools already to solve their own problems, therapy can help to bring those to the surface. My areas of focus tend to be anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and strength-based therapy.

My name is Cindy Carino and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York State. My therapeutic approach is a strength-based, solution-focused, empathetic/non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive one. My experience consists of couples therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, home-based therapy, trauma-focused, and play therapy. I work with individuals, families, and couples. The conditions I am most comfortable treating are depression, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem, anger, impulsivity, and grief.

Counseling is a process of building relationships, and for the past 30+ years, I have been building relationships across a wealth of life-experiences: as a teacher and life-long learner, an administrator in higher education and healthcare, a parent of adult children, a daughter with a complex upbringing.

People seek counseling for many different reasons. Often it is a desire for a better, more meaningful and peaceful life. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years experience helping adults, adolescents, children, and families with a wide range of needs, including behavioral issues, emotional difficulties, relationship struggles, trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, etc. I have found a variety of therapeutic techniques integrated in a creative and flexible manner to be the most effective at facilitating growth.I have great respect for the counseling process and consider working with my clients an important privilege.

I offer informed therapy for people emerging or waking up from high demand groups and coercive relationships of all kinds. You will not spend months teaching your therapist about the way coercive groups promote isolation and fear. We can deal with the long-term effects of religious, cult or domestic violence indoctrination in how we think about the world and about ourselves.

All people and families strive for happiness and loving connectedness. All of us have an innate capacity to heal. As a Child & Family Therapist and Art Therapist, I assist children and families in healing, enhancing growth, family cohesiveness, and increasing the family's ability to weather life's stressors. Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, art therapy and play therapy techniques, family members are able to expand their capacity for healing, and happiness. I see children ages 3 to 18 years of age, families, and adults. My work has been described as engaging, playful, interactive, humorous, and gentle.

I walk with my clients on their path towards optimal mental health and wellness, and help them work through transitions as they make important life-changing decisions. I have 15+ years of experience working with clients across the lifespan. If you are struggling with career or relationship issues, grief or loss, the after effects of trauma, anxiety or depression, or facing important changes in your life, please call me for a free telephone consultation. I see clients on Headway, Octave, CHE Behavioral Services, and BetterHelp.

I hope this finds you in a mindset of prioritizing yourself with a fierce openness for change. I believe it is uniquely important to find the right fit when seeking a therapist. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have experience working at a college campus counseling center and outpatient clinic in Rochester. I am currently only offering tele-mental health appointments. My therapy is grounded in unconditional positive regard and the perspective that everyone has the ability to discover and implement change.

Life is a journey filled with moments of beauty but also with trials and tribulations that we must navigate. At times, walking through the challenges alone can leave us with fear, sadness, doubt, and insurmountable anxiety that others cannot seem to understand. I would be honored to walk beside you on your journey and offer assistance in dealing with the obstacles in your path. My compassion and empathy drive me to work hard for you while at the same time challenging you to consider new ideas and ways to approach issues in your life. It is my pleasure to help others find freedom and peace within the daily chaos of everyday life.

I believe each of us has the ability to heal from emotional wounds and the resulting damage to our sense of self worth. In order to heal, the source of the “original wound/s” must be identified and how these wounds are currently affecting our feelings, choices, and behaviors today. Personal boundaries are often affected and people pleasing/codependent relationships are also common. A willingness to put up with unacceptable and abusive behaviors as well. The first step in healing is in recognizing there is a problem. The next is the willingness to do the hard work. The best work one could ever do.

I believe that people are capable of healing, and that life's challenges can offer an opportunity for growth. Whether you are struggling to cope, trying to navigate a transitional period in your life, or are looking to improve relationships, therapy can help. I offer a supportive and collaborative approach to help you navigate stressors and create meaningful change in your life.

GRIEF: A natural response after a loved one dies, family separates, job loss/change, a newly blended family, retirement, caregiving for someone you love, dealing with a difficult diagnosis, an unexpected change or losing a beloved pet. I help clients to learn about the waves of grief and develop a path towards healing.

I am passionate about working with children and adolescents in a way that is developmentally responsive and engaging! My office has a full-size play therapy room with supplies for expressive arts and sand tray therapies as well, so your child has many options when it comes to how they want to express themselves. I work with children, adolescents, and families on a broad range of issues, from life transitions (e.g. divorce, moving) to trauma. Each patient's unique needs dictate the course of therapy, and frequent re-evaluation ensures we are on the right track.

I am glad that you took this step to care for your well-being. We all have times in our lives when we feel unhappy, unbalanced and/or overwhelmed. Or maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns over and over and would like some guidance on how to do things differently.
