LCSWR

Rochester, NY

Therapy is a worthwhile investment in yourself.       I know it may be tough to ask for help and that the twists and turns of life can be overwhelming. I am here to help you move in the direction you want, to help you heal, to provide you hope. If you're unsure if therapy is right for you, I get it! It may be different than what you are used to. However, trying is the first step to knowing.  I am here to give you a non-judgmental, safe, warm space for you to express your feelings. In my therapy sessions, I like to focus on the emotions you're experiencing and to help you understand them while challenging you to get to a better spot.     About Me: I have been working as a therapist for 13 years with training in Motivational Interviewing, Safe Zone Training, CBT, DBT, couples and family therapy. What does that all mean though? It boils down to this: I have always had a passion for helping others to cope with their emotions and try to sort out the chaos and beauty that is life. Here is what you can expect: You do not need an appointment to send me a message. I will respond at least 1-2 times per day (5 days/wk). If you go a few days without writing, I may just check in to see how things are going.  Whether it's depression, anxiety, stress, or maybe you don't even know what to call it, I'm here to chat.  Daily Chat: I am usually available 5 out of 7 days per week (that may be either during the week or over the weekend). Depending on schedules, I will try my hardest to accommodate your needs. Feel free to write to me anytime!  I'm glad you're here to invest in you.

Local Support in New York

New York is a vibrant hub of cultural diversity and dynamic energy, marked by its rich tapestry of communities and a steadfast resolve among its residents. However, the state's social and economic landscape poses significant challenges, as many grapple with high living costs, inconsistent employment opportunities, and varying access to healthcare. These factors disproportionately impact low-income neighborhoods and populations, intensifying the mental health challenges faced by countless New Yorkers, especially marginalized groups. The lingering effects of the pandemic have exacerbated mental well-being issues, as many continue to navigate economic instability, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Fortunately, an array of mental health resources is available throughout the state, designed to cater to the specific needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds. From community support programs to crisis intervention services, New Yorkers are encouraged to prioritize their mental wellness and take advantage of the extensive services outlined in this directory. By fostering awareness and access to these supports, residents can gain resilience along their mental health journeys amidst the complexities of urban life.

Frequently asked questions

Use the search box at the top of this page to narrow down to your city or zip code, then choose the kind of support you need - therapists, treatment centers, housing assistance, food pantries or faith-based services. Every listing links through to contact details and directions.

It varies by listing. Food pantries, many housing programs and faith-based services are typically free, while therapists and treatment centers usually charge or bill insurance. Check the individual listing and contact the provider directly to confirm.

No. The providers and organizations listed here are independent of 7 Cups - we do not employ them and cannot vouch for them. What 7 Cups does offer directly is free emotional support from trained volunteer listeners, and online therapy with licensed professionals.

If you are in immediate danger, call 988 in the US or go to your nearest emergency room. For someone to talk to straight away, you can chat with a trained volunteer listener at any hour, free.
