Hi there! I'm so glad you found my page. I look forward to helping you navigate whatever might currently be keeping you from feeling fulfilled. As a neurodivergent, queer identified therapist, I find myself working best with those who are developing greater attunement with their own identity. Together with my clients, I use a person-centered, strength-based approach to identify and practice coping skills and expand emotional awareness and resilience. Life is stressful and full of difficult experiences, and through art therapy directives as well as additional modalities such as DBT and EMDR, I partner with my clients to help them identify what it is that they would like to change and make a plan of action. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step! Whatever it is you need, I look forward to partnering with you in support and compassion.

I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. The students I work with usually made it a long way on effort alone. They got good grades, got into a good school, and figured out their own systems for keeping up. Then something changed. The workload got heavier, the structure got looser, or they hit a semester where the old tricks stopped working, and suddenly they were reading the same paragraph four times, starting papers the night before, or so exhausted after a full day of class and people that they had nothing left. A lot of them have been told they are smart but not applying themselves. A lot of them have been treated for anxiety or depression, and it helped some, but not with the part that actually gets in the way. Many are Black students, women, or students who learned early to keep it together in public no matter what it cost. Nobody ever suggested testing, because from the outside they looked fine. Some come to me because a friend got diagnosed and it sounded familiar. Some come because they need documentation for accommodations and have no idea where to start. Some come because they are tired of not knowing. If any of that sounds like you, I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. You do not need to have it figured out before you reach out. That is what the evaluation is for.

West Seneca, NY

While our practice does not offer traditional therapy, we specialize in comprehensive diagnostic assessments for adults who are either seeking a clearer understanding of their mental health or who have found traditional therapy ineffective in meeting their needs. Our evaluation process is designed to get to the root of what’s truly going on—emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. Following assessment, you will receive a detailed clinical report that includes a formal diagnosis (if applicable), a personalized treatment plan, and targeted recommendations to guide therapy. This approach helps ensure that your time in treatment is focused, efficient, and grounded in evidence-based practices. How Our Services Differ Many adults enter therapy without a clear diagnosis or direction, often leading to months or even years of “talk therapy” without significant progress. Our approach removes the guesswork. Using a structured combination of clinical interviews, psychological and personality testing, and other relevant measures, we provide a complete picture of your functioning. Every recommendation we provide is backed by empirical data and tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. You’ll walk away with: • A definitive understanding of what you're experiencing • A written treatment plan based on scientific evidence and best practices • A list of highly qualified therapists in your area with experience in your specific areas of need What to Expect • Two appointments: one clinical diagnostic interview and one testing session • Psychological and personality measures, with additional assessments as needed • A thorough written report outlining diagnostic findings and a therapy roadmap • A final feedback session to walk through your results and next steps If you're interested in proceeding, please reply to confirm and provide a copy of your photo ID and the front and back of your insurance card(s). If you have questions before moving forward, I’d be happy to speak with you directly. Warmly, Dr. Brotz

College is a lot. The pressure to perform — academically, socially, personally — while quietly managing anxiety, burnout, or something you haven't even put a name to yet is genuinely exhausting. You don't have to keep pushing through it on your own. At Resilience Therapy, we work with young adults who are done just getting by and ready to actually feel better. We specialize in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, and body image — and we bring a no-judgment, no-sugarcoating approach to all of it. We provide telehealth and in-person services in NY, and telehealth in NJ, CT, FL, PA, MA, ME, CO, TX, IL, VA, SC, VT, AK, and DE. While some of our providers accept insurance, we are largely out-of-network and provide superbills for reimbursement. We also offer a sliding scale. Reach out — we'll help you figure out the details. *INSURANCE* While we are largely an Out Of Network Practice, we do have some clinicians that accept limited insurance. We offer a superbill to be submitted to insurance for reimbursement and will assist in verifying benefits. We additionally offer a sliding scale rate. Please reach out to learn more.

You’re thoughtful, capable, & accomplished, yet something doesn’t feel quite right. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Perhaps the same patterns keep repeating or life feels harder than it should. You may have tried pushing through or relying on self-help books, advice from others, or prior therapy without resolution. Many of the adults, teens, & couples I work with are looking for more than quick fixes or symptom relief alone. They want to understand why they struggle & reach a place where they can experience greater insight, confidence, direction, & inner peace. I’m a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist, researcher, & educator specializing in psychodynamic therapy. I work with complex problems across the lifespan, drawing on advanced training in personality, attachment, trauma, & relational functioning. I provide psychological testing for diagnostic clarification & offer dating consultation & clinical supervision. Finding the right fit matters. Whether you're pursuing personal growth, healing from old wounds, or seeking something different from past care, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, & supported, while also gaining perspective. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to see whether working together might be helpful.

A Key Therapy

Group practice
In-Person & Online
Trumansburg, NY

A Key Therapy is a group practice of licensed, mindfulness-based therapists — most of us social workers — working with students and young adults through secure telehealth. We see what tends to surface during college and the years right after: anxiety humming under a full schedule, depression, burnout, grief, relationship and family stress, identity questions, and the transitions that come with starting, pausing, or finishing school. Mindfulness-based therapy is our specialty, not a side offering — our clinicians pair evidence-based treatment with mindfulness practice so you spend less energy white-knuckling hard feelings and more learning to meet them with steadiness. Starting therapy can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. You don't need the right words or a tidy story to begin. Reach out and we'll answer your questions and match you with the clinician who's the right fit. Licensed in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia. Individual and group sessions, telehealth statewide.

Marriage & Family Therapist

Bard College, NY

Welcome! Im Shayda- Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we safely reconnect with our nervous system with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful. I use trauma therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to help you process pain and find lasting relief. I work with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Through this work, we can reprocess the past and create lasting healing and wholeness in your life. As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. I offer culturally sensitive care that honors your lived experience - creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood. My priority is building safety and trust. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!

Psychologist

Amherst, NY

I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. My clients have commented on my blend of warmth and support along with behavioral strategies. I offer evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies with a special focus on positive psychology and strengths-based health promotion. Finally, you will hear me say that this is a real relationship that should feel healing. Connection is important. I strive to provide the very best therapy and customer service to my clients. I want you to feel like my only client. I want you to feel comfortable and safe, and I will be present with you and use creative strategies- individualized to you - to meet your needs and help you feel better **the rest of the time, when you are not with me**. I want to empower. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/laura-m-anderson-williamsville-ny/800284 https://www.vagaro.com/lauraandersonphdlicensedpsychologist
