I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.

Dr. Renee Clauselle

Psychologist

Virtual • New York


Hi! I'm Dr. Renee Clauselle. I'm a down to earth psychologist that has been in practice for over 20 years. I am passionate about my client's personal growth. My specialties include, but are not limited to treatment of anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment styles, self worth, parenting, and more. I'm a former professor at St. John's University and a media psychologist for GMA. Check out some of my appearances on Youtube @dr.reneeclauselle1571.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can recognize but struggle to change, such as overthinking, repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed despite “knowing better.” Many have done therapy before and have insight, but want support translating that awareness into real, lasting shifts. My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic work to help regulate and rewire the nervous system so change is not just understood but experienced. For clients who feel blocked or unable to move forward, I also offer emerging neurofeedback to support deeper brain based change and neuroplasticity. I work with diverse populations and tailor treatment to meet each client where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable growth.

Dr. Ekaterina Zubritskaya

Psychologist

Virtual • Brooklyn, NY


Starting therapy requires courage and strength even when we are in pain or dissatisfied with the way things are. It is difficult to open up to a stranger, to change the familiar ways of dealing with life and people. That is why I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment, where we will look at recurrent patterns in your life (for example why do you choose "the same type" of partners or feel so lonely or anxious, why do you often have the "same conflicts" with your bosses or friends) and gain insight into unconscious motivations of your behavior.


I specialize in behavioral excess (misuse of substances, sex and food) and mood disorders (anxiety, depression). Because of my belief in personal freedom I try to provide accepting and safe environment where we can talk about you and your life openly.


I am bilingual (Russian/English)and have extensive training in psycholinguistics.

Dr. Joseph Yanni

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Scarsdale, NY


I’m Dr. Joseph Yanni, a licensed psychologist who works with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school and college stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I earned my Psy.D. in School Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and continue to work as a school psychologist, supporting students with emotional disabilities in a specialized educational setting. This experience has given me a practical understanding of how emotional, academic, social, family, and developmental concerns often overlap.

I use a collaborative, practical, and integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered therapy, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. I believe therapy should be individualized rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we work to better understand what is contributing to the concern, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop realistic strategies that create meaningful change.

I work especially well with teenagers, college students, young adults, and parents navigating the transition from adolescence into adulthood, while also supporting adults and families facing anxiety, relationship concerns, and other important life challenges. I provide in-person therapy in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, along with virtual therapy throughout New York State.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Buffalo

Finding family therapists in Buffalo starts with identifying what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, or a therapist specializing in blended families if those needs match your situation.

Buffalo has a range of therapists across the city and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointment options. Virtual care can add more flexibility if it is hard for multiple family members to meet in the same office. Session structure may also vary. Some sessions may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, partners, or individual family members. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to understand their approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit and session structure.

Family counseling in Buffalo, NY can be a significant expense 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 helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, verify insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
