Female Therapists in Williamsville, NY

Whether you find yourself on my page seeking a return to therapy, information to help you find the best fit therapist for you, or to start therapy for the first time, welcome. I consider it an honor that I spend my career being a witness to the lives, stories, and growth of my clients. I strive to create a space where those who meet with me can develop a sense of safety to express what they need to heal unresolved hurts and achieve their personal therapy goals. Clients work with me on building insight, practicing acceptance, challenging unhelpful thought & behavior patterns, and learning skills to improve their self-care and coping.

Today's society is more stressful than ever. It is this build up of stress and trauma that will contribute to depression, anxiety and other mental health related issues. By taking care of your mental health, you are working to minimize the damage of this stress. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of challenges including stress, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for a variety of mental health conditions. CBT is a goal focused therapy that involves techniques like learning coping strategies, tracking thinking patterns, and changing daily routines. You might be a good fit for this type of treatment if you have a particular set of symptoms you'd like to reduce (e.g., depression, anxiety, insomnia) or if you have a specific life stressor you'd like to address (e.g., experience of physical or sexual violence, combat, exposure to trauma in the workplace). I provide therapy exclusively via telehealth because I want to make treatment easier to access.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 15+ years of experience working with adults, both individually and in groups. My focus in therapy is to help you develop skills to cope with life in a way that allows you to live more fully in the present moment and move in the direction of your goals. I am committed to using treatments that are supported by research, while also tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each individual.

I am experienced working with the LGBTQ+ population, and I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health.

Have you faced painful experiences that are impacting your daily life? I believe that past experiences can cause "sore spots" that can impact us in the present. I have helped countless individuals work through past experiences for healing and personal growth. I have extensive training on techniques to help my clients on this journey including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am amazed every day by the way this treatment has helped my clients transform their lives.

Hi! I’m Lauren. I’ve been practicing therapy for over 14 years and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing clients. Seeing the growth and awareness that happens in this process is truly remarkable and rewarding for everyone involved. My clients most often come to therapy repeating patterns that they realize are no longer working for them. Both individually and in relationships. My job is to help you identify patterns, to better understand yourself and to give you ways to adjust while staying true to who you are. There are a variety of ways to do this, and each session is geared exactly to your needs.

Taking those first steps and asking for help can be the most difficult. It’s important to acknowledge that we all struggle and that sometimes we just need someone to listen, without judgment. As a therapist, I like to help individuals tap into their strengths to achieve their goals. I believe healing needs to begin with asking “What happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?”

I have more than fifteen years of experience working with children, adolescents and families addressing life changes. Together let's work toward achieving your goals through individual and/or family counseling.

* I am not accepting new clients at this time * Are you are a young woman struggling with daily anxiety? As a result you’re having problems in your relationships, work/school, or even daily tasks? If the stress you’re carrying is taking away today’s peace, you may benefit from learning specific tools to better manage each day. I treat woman dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, life changes/stressors and relationship problems.

I think it's important to acknowledge that we all struggle, but sometimes that struggle gets to be more often or more overwhelming than we know how to handle and we can benefit from an additional source of support, understanding and obtain some resources and skills that can help reduce our distress. We can work together to improve your ability to cope with daily life stressors or major life events with individual or family counseling. I have over 14 years experience working with adults, adolescents and children struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and other difficult situations.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves looking for a change or improvement but are unsure of how to go about doing so. My mission is to join you in creating a safe, non-judgmental space to conquer life’s challenges. Whether you want to find joy again, build self-esteem, improve your interpersonal relationships or identify tools to deal with life stressors, together we can develop an individualized plan to meet your goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative, direct, and compassionate. I often combine cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and solution focused techniques based on individual need and therapy goals.

Beginning therapy can be both an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek out services and I commend you for making it this far! By starting therapy, you are choosing to address, reflect, and learn ways to challenge unhelpful patterns that no longer serve you in living your most fulfilling life. Together, we can work to increase awareness of current stressors, learn how your past experiences have shaped who you are today, and to more efficiently cope with the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that often contribute to feeling distress.

I am a dedicated therapist with expertise in family therapy and mental health counseling. As a former student athlete, I am passionate about supporting young adults in developing positive psychology and CBT skills. My work centers on helping clients navigate relationships, uncover their identity, and leverage their strengths for improved wellbeing.

I am a firm believer that our mental and emotional health are just as important as our physical health and wellness. More often than not, we put ourselves on the back burner, taking care of others needs and then ignoring our own. In the world we live in, it’s also easy to push our emotions to the side and tell ourselves we "shouldn't" feel this way. Living well doesn't have to mean sacrificing your needs for others, it might just mean, we chose to intentionally put our energy into things that fill us up and allow us to feel more centered.

Feeling stuck? Like you have been here before and nothing helps? I understand. It is easy to feel alone and hopeless when you feel you have tried everything but nothing seems to stick. Let's try again, together. I prefer to work from a Holistic Framework, and believe emotional wellness is at the heart of true health and happiness. My focus is helping people gain composure and function, even in times of emotional trigger. I specialize in trauma-informed approaches with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Polyvagal Therapy.

I am a trauma specialist providing virtual appointments throughout NY and Florida and in person appointments in Western NY. You would seek out a cardiologist if you had a heart issue right? Well, if you have the opportunity, I suggest you seek out a therapist who specializes in your unique issues. I am not a generalist; I specialize in Trauma, Dissociation, Eating Disorders, Body Dysmorphia and anxiety. I work with these issues because they're what I'm most passionate about and I've dedicated my life's work to combatting the systemic issues that cause or exacerbate those issues.

Announcing the provision of EMDR, ASL interpreting services, and wellness counseling at Elite Spine and Extremity Physical Therapy! I If you’ve experienced trauma and/or adversity, you may need support navigating the unpredictability's of life. I believe you have the inner strength to achieve your best sense of self. I strive to guide you toward peace and healing by exploring implementing EMDR, incorporating dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), crisis counseling, as well as addressing chronic pain, grief, and loss. I value the therapeutic relationship, diversity, acceptance, personal strengths, and instilling hope.

Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.
