Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Buffalo, NY

As a License Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional issues, life challenges, anxiety and more. I bring compassionate client-centered approach, to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable to share their story and be heard in an effort to help them build resilience and allow them to take the risk to invest in their ability to grow and make changes that lead to a more positive sense of self.

With all the possible stressors in life, it can sometimes be difficult to know what is keeping us from being the best version of ourselves. In my practice, we will identify what is working and explore possible areas for change. No matter your struggles, the goal will be to help you identify and build on your strengths and become the person you aspire to be. My first goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. We will focus on your unique lived experiences, including how both personal and social factors can influence the ways you live and grow in the world.

Hi, and welcome! Through our work together, I look forward to learning more about you and your experience, and helping you to find your way confidently to a more fulfilling life. I work in partnership with my clients to develop the most effective goals for treatment and beyond. I’ve worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety and ADHD, amongst others.

I hold a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling as well as a post graduate certificate in Trauma Studies. I have worked in multiple levels of care including inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization. I have work with a multitude of different populations and diagnosis including anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders.

I started my work with infants and young children, guided by a simple belief: when we understand the meaning behind behavior, everything in a family can begin to shift. I use play as a primary way to connect with children and understand their inner world. Through play, children express thoughts and feelings they may not yet have words for. By joining them in this space, I’m able to better understand their experiences and help them feel seen, supported, and safe.

My path to becoming a therapist began in children’s media, where I spent fifteen years project managing educational content. That experience shaped how I see children today—curious, expressive, and constantly communicating, even without words.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree from New York University, training at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Center, where I deepened my understanding of how music and play can help children feel seen, regulated, and understood.

My clinical work has included early intervention, a specialized school for autistic children and young adults, and an elementary school supporting students with hearing loss and communication differences. Across these settings, I saw how powerful it is when a child is truly met where they are.

In 2023, I founded Sound Mind to create a more individualized, relationship-based practice—one where I can connect deeply and tailor my work to each child and family.

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, and life transitions. I have experience at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) supporting medically complex children and adolescents, which has shaped my compassionate and collaborative approach to care. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.

Hello I am Jenn, I have a graduate degree from The College of St Rose in Albany, and NYS licensed Master CASAC. I am most proud of the well seasoned life experience that comes with being a Gen X.

Clients can expect authenticity, an open mind, and an understanding space to explore traumatic and challenging belief systems (that no longer work), emotional dysregulation, coping skills, communication skills (boundary setting, healthy communication, self care), and future focused guidance and support.

Clients will improve social, relational and professional interactions. Clients are free to express themselves mindfully and reflect intentionally about challenging behavior and racing thoughts. I will always provide compassionate non-judgmental, and ethical care.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience, I provide culturally sensitive care to those navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
