Hi! My name is Alyssa Ammerman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I received my Master of Social Work from the University at Buffalo in 2017 (GO BILLS!). I have had the opportunity to work, intern, and volunteer in a variety of behavioral health settings to include outpatient, critical incident debrief, residential, and vocational rehabilitation, which have led me to the opportunity to start my own practice. I have a special interest in working with first responders, parents, individuals with sleep disorders, chronic pain, and/or chronic illness, and those going through life changes. Beyond my clinical work, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT-B and firefighter, scuba diving, camping, attending concerts, and traveling.

Lindsey Bala

Lindsey Bala

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Amherst, NY


Hi, I’m Lindsey, a psychotherapist who works with adult (18+) individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. I believe the most effective therapy is a collaborative process where we work together as a team to identify what’s not working and build practical, meaningful solutions that fit your life. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and actively involved in your own healing.

We begin by building a strong therapeutic alliance—creating a space that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and grounded in trust. From there, we explore your specific needs, patterns, and goals in a way that feels respectful of your pace and readiness.

Lydia Moore

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Buffalo, NY


I help women reconnect with themselves—especially in the moments when life hasn’t gone according to plan. Many of the women I work with are helpers themselves: therapists, educators, healthcare workers, mothers. They’re navigating overwhelm, grief, perfectionism, relationship struggles, and questions of identity. They’re high-achieving and deeply caring, yet often unsure how to extend the same compassion inward.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pittsford

Finding the right therapist in Pittsford starts with getting clear on what kind of care you're looking for. Common reasons people in the greater Rochester area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), or a psychologist, choosing someone with experience in your specific area of concern can make a meaningful difference.

From there, consider the practical details that will help you stay consistent with care — like whether you prefer in-person sessions in Pittsford or virtual appointments, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's communication style feels like a good match. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can get a sense of fit before booking your first session.

Therapy in the Pittsford area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits your needs and your budget.
