Using evidence-based approaches to strengthen connection

At the heart of our work is helping individuals in Rochester build stronger relationships, gain deeper personal insight, and feel more at ease with themselves. The therapists here each have different areas they focus on, but there’s a shared understanding that things like anxiety, depression, and ADHD don’t just affect mood; they can show up in how people think, feel, and relate to others.

In therapy, this often comes up in everyday ways. Stress and worries can feel louder at night or during quiet moments when there’s less distraction. People usually start noticing certain reactions or habits that repeat, and sessions are often about slowing those moments down, understanding what’s going on, and trying small changes that feel doable in daily life.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Over time, things like childhood experiences, relationships, or major life events can shape how a person thinks about themselves and others, sometimes in ways that feel critical or unhelpful. In CBT, people spend time noticing these patterns and trying out different ways of thinking and responding that feel more balanced in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is often used to help people deal with strong emotions and navigate relationship difficulties. It usually involves learning practical skills like staying present, calming down in stressful moments, handling intense emotions, and communicating more clearly. Over time, practicing these skills can make it easier to get through conflict, uncertainty, or emotionally charged situations.
ACT is a type of therapy that helps people handle difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Instead of trying to push discomfort away, it focuses on noticing what’s there and choosing actions that line up with what matters to the person. Over time, this can help people feel more steady and more connected to their day-to-day life.
Sleep therapy examines the factors that may be contributing to restless nights, frequent awakenings, or difficulty falling asleep. Treatment often includes structured methods aimed at improving sleep habits, addressing unhelpful sleep-related behaviors, and creating conditions that support deeper and more restorative sleep.
Supportive therapy is a space where people can talk through what’s going on and get some guidance along the way. It can help with sorting through emotions, looking at difficult situations, and making sense of what’s affecting day-to-day life. Over time, many people find it easier to cope and feel a bit more steady in how they handle things.

Therapy For When You Feel Stuck, Overwhelmed,
and Discouraged

A lot of people notice they’re still holding onto thoughts, feelings, or habits that made sense at one point but don’t feel as helpful anymore. Even when life has changed, those patterns can stick around. In therapy, people usually take time to look at where these patterns come from and how they show up now, and then figure out ways to understand themselves with a bit more clarity and less self-judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during my first session?

The initial session is focused on learning more about your background, current concerns, and the factors that brought you to therapy. It is also a chance to discuss what you would like to achieve through treatment and identify areas of growth or support. Together, we will begin developing an approach that reflects your personal goals and circumstances.

Do you accept insurance? What is the cost out-of-pocket?

The cost of therapy varies according to the type of service and session length selected. We are in network with MVP, CDPHP, Aetna, and Fidelis, allowing many clients to use their insurance benefits. For those who prefer self-pay options, we offer flexible payment solutions and reduced-fee arrangements for qualifying individuals.

Does insurance cover online therapy?

Virtual therapy is frequently covered under many insurance plans, though benefits differ from one policy to another. Because coverage details vary, we recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm eligibility and any associated costs. Sliding scale fees are also available for eligible clients who are not using insurance coverage.

Do you offer in-person therapy in Rochester, NY?

We currently provide therapy through online appointments only and do not offer face-to-face sessions. This virtual model allows clients across Rochester to access professional support from a location that feels convenient and comfortable for them.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Many people seek therapy for support with stress, anxiety, relationships, personal development, or difficult life circumstances. If you are unsure whether counseling would be helpful, a consultation can provide an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine whether therapy aligns with your goals.

What is the cancellation policy for your mental health services?

We ask clients to notify us at least 24 hours before their scheduled appointment if they need to cancel or reschedule. This helps us manage our calendar and offer available times to others. Missed appointments or late cancellations may be subject to a fee.

Are sessions confidential?

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a core part of our practice. Therapy sessions are conducted under HIPAA-compliant guidelines, and we take appropriate measures to protect the privacy and security of your personal information.

How can mental health support fit into a busy schedule?

Online therapy  allows individuals to access care from the comfort of their preferred location, eliminating travel time and reducing scheduling challenges. This flexibility often helps clients remain engaged in treatment while continuing to meet professional, academic, and personal obligations.

How can therapy help to build better mental health?

Working with a therapist can help you understand your emotional reactions a bit more clearly, notice patterns that tend to repeat, and build coping skills that are useful in everyday life. Depending on what you’re working on, our online therapists can also use specialized therapy approaches based on your specific needs and goals.

What kinds of mental health conditions can online therapy help address?

Online counseling can be helpful when things like depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, or relationship stress start feeling hard to manage, along with other challenges people go through. The first session is usually just a chance to talk about what’s been happening and get a sense of what kind of support might make sense.

How does therapy support mental well-being over time?

With regular support, people often find it easier to work through difficult emotions, adjust during life changes, and handle stress in a way that feels more manageable day to day. Over time, it can also support a greater sense of confidence, more useful coping habits, and a more stable emotional balance in daily life.

Do you offer medication management as part of your service?

No. Medication services are not provided through our practice, and our clinicians do not prescribe or manage psychiatric medications.

What should I know about getting mental health care online?

Online therapy with our licensed providers lets you get support from home or another private space that fits your routine. We also pay attention to how early relationships and attachment can shape the way you connect with yourself and others now. In sessions, we look at emotional responses and patterns in relationships, and work through them in a way that supports steady change over time.
