Tatiana Reis

Tatiana Reis

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I am a licensed psychotherapist working with adults, individuals, and couples, offering a warm, collaborative, and client-centered approach. My work is grounded in relational, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore how emotions, attachment experiences, and relationships shape your inner world while building practical tools for change.

I specialize in relationship dynamics, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, loneliness, grief, and emotional regulation. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected; from others, from themselves, or from a sense of meaning in their lives.

I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and challenged with compassion. Together, we focus less on finding perfect solutions and more on developing the capacity to navigate life’s complexities while fostering greater connection, self-understanding, and belonging.

Brittany Croley, MA, Lmhc, Lcat

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Buffalo, NY

Finding couples therapists in Buffalo starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy and marriage counseling can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life transitions. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it can help to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bio.

In a mid-size city like Buffalo, the right fit often comes down to both clinical match and logistics. Some couples prefer an in-person office near home, work, or a familiar part of the city, while others use virtual appointments to make scheduling easier for two people. As you compare Buffalo couples counseling options, look at appointment availability, whether each therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief consultation. Reading profiles can also show how a therapist structures sessions and works with both partners.

Couples therapy in Buffalo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who provide couples therapy, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and list available times, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
