Ann Marie LiCausi

I am a licensed Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in psychotherapy. My practice focuses on treating eating disorders, maladaptive eating patterns, and guiding clients through bariatric surgery and GLP-1 therapy.I received my Masters Degree in Social Work at the University of Buffalo. Throughout my career I have completed several additional certifications that include certified Social Worker in HealthCare , Nutrition Certification and Reiki Practitioner. I was also recognized as one of HealthCare 50 through Business First. In addition, I was the Executive Director for the Eating Disorders Association of WNY for 8 years. Moving forward in my professional career my focus continues towards assisting individuals with holistic wellness to improve their overall quality of life

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in an integrative, strengths-based framework designed to empower each client's personal growth. I specialize in behavioral health, lifestyle transitions, and body-mind wellness, creating a safe, non-judgmental space tailored to meet your unique goals. By blending evidence-based practices with practical, realistic strategies, I help clients navigate life changes, build resilience, and foster long-term emotional well-being. Together, we will focus on what matters most to you, developing tools that fit naturally into your daily life.

In our first session, we will focus on building a comfortable, trusting environment. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your background, and begin clarifying your primary goals and hopes for our work together. You can expect a warm, structured, and compassionate conversation with zero judgment, setting a grounded foundation for your therapy journey.
