Born and raised in WNY, attended SUNY Buffalo, obtaining my bachelor's in psychology and master's in Social Work there.

I enjoy working with people of all ages who are striving to move through and process the difficult life experiences, changes and transitions we all experience such as grief & loss, divorce, trauma, addictions of all kinds, parenting and behavioral problems in children and adolescents.

If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, school stress, or family conflict, therapy can be a place to feel understood and start making meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support clients in building coping skills, improving confidence, and finding practical ways to manage everyday challenges.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults, couples, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I’ve trained across schools, community mental health, and outpatient settings, and I bring a grounded, real-world perspective into the therapy space. My work is culturally responsive and shaped by a strong commitment to equity, identity, and whole-person care. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to grow.

Hello! My name is Lauren Donato. I have been a mental health counselor for 18 years. Since I was a young girl I knew I wanted to help people, especially people who required advocacy. This led me to start my career working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have worked in group home and clinic settings for over 15 years. My personal experiences also started me on a professional journey providing reproductive counseling for people who are struggling with infertility. I also have a focus on working with people who experienced trauma and those struggling with anxiety and depression. My approach to treatment is client centered. When working with me you should expect to go at your own pace and to have a say in the techniques we use. We will work towards a common goal of you living your best life. I draw upon CBT, DBT, trauma focused, ABA, and mindfulness techniques. I like to think of therapy as the gym for your mind, so you will need to do some work in order to see results. I am happy to provide you with motivation and support during your workout!

Natividad Simmons| LCSW | Bilingual Psychotherapist

Welcome! I am a millennial therapist originally hailing from NYC and completed my education with Fordham University. I have over 10 years of experience working in areas like family therapy, immigration, child welfare, substance use, and crisis intervention. Whether you have been previously diagnosed with a mental health condition you are living with, or looking for a safe space to be supported and heard (or both) I am excited to serve on your healing journey.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress and worry? Is every day filled with anxiety or sadness? Perhaps you lack confidence and struggle with self-esteem issues? Has Covid perhaps made you feel even more that you are not in control of your life? Is all of this making it harder and harder to cope with everyday life? I know what it means to get to a place where you can have peace, self-acceptance and contentment, where you can find meaning and happiness in your life, whatever you decide to accomplish.

I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, teens and the elderly. Using many practices that have been proven to work, including mindfulness and meditation, we will work together to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.

Being human means struggling sometimes, and being human means finding the ability to go beyond our struggles. By working together, we will help you learn new skills and use your own wisdom to reach your goals and build greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, overcome depression, anxiety, stress and self-worth issues, and live a fuller and happier life.
