“The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift.”― J.K. Rowling Hi! My name is Jennie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I have been practicing therapy in a clinic setting for 9 years. I have done work with children to adult clients, but I love to work with adolescents to adults. I am passionate about helping individuals, families, and couples reach their goals. In 2018, I decided I wanted to be able to help a wider range of clients or those who may not have accessibility to in-person therapy and so I started my work as an online therapist. I also have a private practice called Patronus Counseling to provide in-person therapy. Why did I choose that name for my practice? Well, aside from being a huge Harry Potter fan, I found that the Latin word, "Patronus," originates from Ancient Rome and is defined as the protector of a client or patron. Because of this, I chose the name for my therapy practice to convey a desire to help my clients reach a level of healing and ability. In therapy, I strive to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and caring place to explore anything that may be holding them back from the life they want to live. Life is complex and sometimes we need support. I have dedicated my career to providing that support to my clients in the most person-centered way possible. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, contact me. Even if you are unsure, reach out and we can explore that. My Education: I graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I obtained my Master of Social Work Degree from the Greater Rochester Collaborative of SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College. I have been trained to provide psychotherapy for all kinds of issues including trauma, depression, grief, and substance abuse. I started my career at Rochester General Hospital as a Primary Therapist before relocating and taking an Outpatient Therapist and Forensic Therapist position for a county mental health clinic. Most recently, I have switched gears to establish my private therapy practice and continue my work online. Accreditations and Trainings: Licensed Clinical Social Worker Safe Zone Training (LGBTQAI+) National Association of Social Workers Member Certification in Motivational Interviewing Trained Bariatric Consultation Therapist Narcan Training Trained Forensic Consultation Therapist Certification in Trauma-Informed Therapy About Me: I am happily married and we have a chihuahua named Cedric who is all too spoiled (I did not pick his name despite being a Harry Potter fanatic). I love to travel and have had the opportunity to travel across the US, to Canada, England, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, France, Dubai, India, and South Korea. I love to learn about the world and new cultures. I am a very family-oriented person who is still working on her spider phobia (haven't quite tackled that yet), and I am obsessed with the color green. I think therapy is amazing and personally believe everyone could benefit from it (but hey, I’m a therapist). Ultimately, I want to make therapy trendy. I want to break down any stigma associated with it so that anyone who is interested can benefit from it and feel comfortable asking for help.

Hi, and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. My name is Rachel Davies and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York with 7+ years of experience working intensely with clients dealing with a wide array of concerns including anger management, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I have worked in a multitude of different environments including outpatient clinics, private practice, and home based therapy within the community. My style of therapy is warm and inviting. I also use humor and transparency with clients when appropriate. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and safe in therapy and building a strong therapeutic alliance is important to positive outcomes of therapy. My approach combines Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone and it is my job to meet you where you are at in your process. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I enjoy and feel honored to be a part of someone’s personal experiences. This is the way I like to approach my sessions – as a team, addressing challenges together to become free from judgment, criticism, and pain. I believe in creating a space where we can have difficult conversations, work on resolving issues and collaborate on treatment plans that are tailored to your personal needs and experiences. Change is not easy, but acknowledging that you want more for yourself is always the first step to creating change in your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. What you work on in therapy needs to be brought into your everyday life in order to see the change you are looking for. I have listed a couple of resources that I have found to be helpful if you struggle with following: Boundaries: "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Glover Tawwab Self Sabotage: "The Mountain Is You" by Brianna West Forming/ Breaking Habits: "Atomic Habits" by James Clear I look forward to working with you.

Hi! My name is Helen and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I've been in the field for 26 years, and in practice for 5 years. In that time, I've raised 4 kids, three of which are teenagers, and an adult son with high functioning Autism, who is soon to graduate from college. I've worked in various therapeutic settings such as employee assistance, providing on-going clinical services and case management for employees with work performance problems. I've also worked in preventive services, providing brief and extended therapy to children, adolescents, couples, and families, as well as working in a substance abuse outpatient setting, where I provided substance abuse counseling for adolescents and adults. I have a special interest in personality disorders and currently run two online support groups for survivors, as well as Cluster B individuals working on self-awareness and behavior modification. I would describe my approach to therapy as warm, non-judgmental, and empathic. My role is that of a facilitator. Through our sessions my goal is to help you work on the areas of your life that you feel you are struggling with. Outside of social work, I am very involved in fitness. I have been a CrossFitter for 8 years and I am also a weightlifter who follows flexible nutrition. I walk 6 miles a day and it's one of my favorite activities.
