Therapists for college students near 10003

Hello! Welcome to Gaining Ground Roc. We are a private practice clinic located in Rochester NY! We look for clients that are ready to begin the journey of therapy. Our style is highly conversational and collaborative. What you bring to session is what we will talk about for that day. We think you are the expert of your own story and we are there to support and guide. Life throws a lot our way so let's work through it together.

We are a down to earth group mental health practice that specializes in working with women going through different transitions in their lives such as the adjustment to college, preparing to graduate, navigating personal relationships or just trying to figure out who they are or want to be! We provide individual, couples and group counseling both in-person and virtually. Our therapists provide support, tools and resources to help you make positive changes in your life. Our specialities include anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, career planning, sexual identity and more!

Sometimes we all need a little help. No one has life all figured out. We are all a work in progress. That is especially true of young adults transitioning from high school into college, or from college into the working world. Relationships with parents are changing, romantic relationships may begin or end, friendships change, and we may grow apart from people who we thought we'd be friends with forever. These are challenging times to be alive, and sometimes it's helpful to talk about what you're going through with an objective third party, a therapist, someone to validate your feelings and give honest feedback in a kind, gentle manner. I help my patients learn healthy coping skills and try different strategies to deal with whatever mental health challenges they are facing. With 18 years experience, I'm sure I can find some strategies that will help you too. Please feel free to reach out when you are ready!

My practice specialty is clinical psychology and neuropsychology. I perform ADD/ADHD diagnostic assessment and treatment, as well as treatment for anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injury and stress-related issues. I perform neuropsychological testing, Quantitative EEG (brain mapping) and Neurofeedback therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist and have been in practice for over 20 years. I specialize in working with individuals and couples ages 18 years and older. I address a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship/family dynamics and trauma, as well as stressors particular to the college and graduate school experience. My Interest in psychology is based in my wish to help people decrease their pain and expand their lives in ways that are important to them. I am described by my patients as a warm person who creates a safe environment through being respectful and sensitive to who you are: your personality, family, developmental and cultural history, other identities and the emotions you are experiencing. Psychodynamic and insight-oriented, I utilize a variety of techniques, especially Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic approach that is extremely effective for many issues and is known to be especially helpful with trauma recovery. IFS helps individuals, as well as couples, tease apart and learn about conflicting feelings or parts of themselves. Doing so improves one’s ability to feel better, function effectively and heal painful experiences from the recent and distant past. In couples work I also utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based model that helps couples identify difficult cycles of interactions and recognize the needs, hurts and fears that underlie them. Partners emerge from this process feeling more connected with one another in meaningful, supportive and secure ways and are better able to communicate. Research has proven this to be a highly effective form of therapy. I have held positions at several university counseling centers including Fordham University where I was Assistant Director of Counseling and Psychological Services, The Graduate Center in New York City and Princeton University. College and graduate students have always been a significant part of my practice.

My therapeutic style is based on the belief that good rapport is essential to accomplish our therapeutic goals. While I think in terms of family of origin issues, I intervene through many diverse approaches depending on the needs of the person.These approaches include thoughts, bodily sensations, feelings, and the experiences of childhood. I follow the lead of whom I am working with and tailor my psychotherapeutic work to fit where they are at in their psychological development. A primary focus is to help one become at ease with oneself. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and issues. On any given day, I might see a woman with career issues, a man with emotional intimacy concerns, a couple with communication difficulties and a child with angry outbursts. I find meaning fostering change and growth. I am informed by positive psychology theory with its emphasis on growth, development, enhancement of authenticity, optimal performance and happiness. Implementing the concepts of "Flow", character strengths, resilience, optimism and gratitude. I am committed to you feeling fulfilled, present in your life and accomplishing your goals.

I have worked as a college mental health counselor for the past 8 years. Prior to the college setting I working in the field of addiction. I think the college experience can be extremely rewarding yet very overwhelming. It is a time of transition and discovery as well as anxiety and depression. I am available evening and weekends to accommodate busy schedules. I look forward to getting to know you and beginning your mental health journey!

Are you dealing with excessive worrying and overwhelm? Maybe perfectionism is starting to take a toll? Struggling with procrastination or low motivation? Or perhaps you're running into trouble with relationships (friendships, family, or romantic)? With years of experience providing therapy to students on a college campus, I understand the unique pressures you face. In a relaxed, relatable way, we'll work together to figure out what's at the root of your challenges and take steps to help you overcome and move forward in a healthier and happier way.
