I'm Gabrielle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. Since I graduated from Rhode Island College's Master of Social Work program in 2010, a majority of my work experience has been gained in the practice areas of HIV/AIDS and mental health. In particular I have focused my work on oppressed communities, including LGBTQ folks (especially men who have sex with men and transgender women), people of color, immigrants, and patients who are limited English speakers. Much of my experience has been in the outpatient mental health setting, where I have amassed years of practice treating trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. Though I'm trained as a generalist social worker and am always aware of the environment and its effects on my patients, I have specific training in positive psychology, cognitive techniques, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. If you are open to longer-term therapy, I'm a big believer that building a relationship between patient and therapist is an investment worth making, and often leads to greater change for the patient.

Hello There! My name is Katie... Thank you for taking to time to take a look at my profile. First of all congrats to you for reaching out for some guidance. It may sound cliche', but asking for help can truly be one of the most difficult parts of the healing process. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). I've been providing counseling, training, teaching, and coaching in the Western New York region for over 20 years. Though I have worked with children, families, and individuals in a variety of different settings, my approach is always the same. No judgment, a complete empathic approach, and genuine regard for who it is I am working with. I have been privileged to work with individuals from all walks of life struggling with challenges ranging from trauma, grief, life transitions, as well as managing long term mental health diagnoses. I consider it to be an honor to stand by one's side and help them untangle their thoughts and emotions as they continue on life's journey. I hope to share that journey with you...

Congratulations on investing in your mental health! Building a trusting relationship with a therapist is very important for counseling to be effective, so take your time reading about, and ultimately interviewing your prospective counselor. My name is Julie Fahlmann and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) in New York. I have a BA in Psychology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology and then earned my MSW in 2004 from the University at Albany School of Social Welfare. In addition, I am a Certified School Social Worker for UPK-12. During my 22-year career in mental health, I have had the privilege of working within numerous agencies and with a variety of individuals. I have experience in working as a psychiatric social worker in an emergency room, outpatient therapist, probation officer, addiction counselor, behavior specialist for individuals with developmental disabilities, medical social worker for a homecare agency, school social worker, and was a social worker in a county correctional facility. My therapeutic approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Rational-Emotive counseling. I specialize in assessment, trauma, addiction, prevention, and explore risk and protective factors while implementing realistic treatment plans that are developed with your goals as the primary focus. Although I have a set schedule and have mostly evening times available, I do have some flexibility if you need a different time slot than what appears. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you have a wonderful day.

Licensed psychoanalyst with 24 years of experience. I work with people who struggle with high anxiety, self esteem and self worth issues, people who grew up in an emotionally toxic environment. I have experience helping people who are or have been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or who were part of an environment that made them feel suffocated and not being seen. Patients who were exposed to a emotionally toxic environment can feel how it freezes their emotional growth. Working on liberating one's psyche one realizes how resiliency sets in helping to brave inner toxicity daily. It's a quiet strength that appears as emotional growth proceeds. I use a psychodynamic approach, I admire the work of Philip Bromberg, Donald Winnicott, Francoise Dolto, Paul Claude Racamier, Christopher Bollas. During a session I focus on identifying dynamics, if I may say so, they appear as emotional footprints. A patient who feels controlled by their emotions gradually acquires tools to manage and understand their suffering in order to obtain more emotional freedom.
