Hello! Welcome to Gaining Ground Roc. We are a private practice clinic located in Rochester NY! We look for clients that are ready to begin the journey of therapy. Our style is highly conversational and collaborative. What you bring to session is what we will talk about for that day. We think you are the expert of your own story and we are there to support and guide. Life throws a lot our way so let's work through it together.
Art therapy is for the individual who has difficulty verbalizing what they are going through. Creating art helps the person work through the trauma, anxiety, depression etc. One does NOT need to have any art experience knowledge or talent! Only an open mind to exploring their feelings and emotions through a creative lens!
I offer the ability to engage conversation regarding anything from test anxiety to the meaning of life. I love working with the college population because they are just finding out who they are and are always thinking critically about themselves and where their talents and abilities fit into this chaotic world. I can help provide guidance to discover what is preventing you from reaching your full potential in both an emotional and intellectual way.
I believe in the transformative potential of virtual reality and technology as a tool for mental health and personal growth. By harnessing the power of technology, I aim to help you break down barriers to accessing therapy, provide a flexible and convenient treatment option, and revolutionize the way you engage in your therapeutic journey. I invite you to embark on this exciting and transformative experience with me, where the virtual realm becomes a gateway to healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
Since 1985, we have been committed to helping our clients and their families overcome and deal with substance abuse and dependency issues, including alcohol, drugs, prescription medications, smoking, and vaping. Our state of the art, holistic approach to treatment and long-term recovery includes addressing the medical, psychological, social, family and behavioral factors that influence and perpetuate these complex and chronic health conditions. We believe the most successful treatment strategies are based on the needs of each individual. As every story is different, so is each path to recovery and wellness. We help our clients map out their own unique strategy, and guide them along the way.
Sometimes life's challenges require additional tools. I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's Degree from Molloy University. I have over a decade of experience in this field and over two decades as a Nurse Practitioner in Adult Health. As a teammate in your wellness journey, I work closely with your counselor and health care providers to optimize mental and physical health outcomes. I see you as a whole person and incorporate your whole social, physical, and emotional well-being into our plan to guide you to wellness. Medication and psychotherapeutic modalities are utilized as needed to help you achieve your goals. Patients should be ages 18+, in the active care of a Primary Care Provider, and willing to utilize the patient portal. Unfortunately, I do not participate with Medicare or Medicaid even if it is managed by one of the plans listed at this time.
For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I regularly tap into the motivation I want to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do? Imagine how it feels… the waves constantly coming at you. You personally have to navigate these situations, because you’re the only one with all the answers. But it feels scary and shameful that you don’t have the foggiest clue of what you’re doing. And shouldn’t you already know by now?? Not at all! Truth is, college is a much more difficult time than most people acknowledge. But hard times can also be opportunities… for you to discover more fully who you are and how to embrace this ‘not-knowing.’ Our work together will help you learn how to make sense of all these different feelings, and cultivate the creativity needed to make something interesting and new out of all those questions. Instead of being pummeled by the waves, you can actually surf them! Instead of getting pulled in by the undertow, the barrage of self-critical and anxious thoughts that keep you up at night, I’ll help you learn how to approach these without fear and harness them so you can find your answers. Let’s get started! If you’re excited about putting aside the worry and the stress and finding your energy and direction again, call or email me so we can get started. College can be that great time you’d always hoped it would be.

Life can have its challenging moments, especially during this time of uncertainty and quick changes. Throughout our life we develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped us to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood which can cause disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. I am here to help support you through these changes as well find new ways to create balance and better manage the stressors influencing your daily life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, life changes, or processing this past year, I am here to listen. While I am licensed as an art psychotherapist, creating art during session is not required.
Hello! My name is Erica (she/hers). I'm a psychotherapist and art therapist for clients in the NY area. In my practice, I use a variety of interventions to meet your unique needs but I mainly work from an attachment based approach. This means I’ll help you find creative ways to examine your relationship to yourself and to others in order to help you make better sense of your own inner voice, build self-compassion, and relate in authentic ways to the world around you.

Hi there! Currently I'm providing telehealth via a secure, user-friendly and HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I see many clients who struggle with anxiety and stress-management, relationship concerns, life-stage stressors, and self-worth/self-esteem issues. College is often described as "some of the best years of your life" ....by well-intentioned people who likely have not experienced life as a college student in the 21st century. Many of my college-aged clients come to therapy seeking guidance once the juggling act of friends, dating, family, homework, classes, labs, group projects, extracurricular obligations, etc...starts to become overwhelming, and "me-time" a distant memory. While therapy itself certainly can't remove anything from your plate, it can help you to reconfigure and re-prioritize your life in a way that can bring greater peace of mind, and restore a sense of balance. Feel free to reach out and we'll see if this can be a good fit for your needs! Melissa
I provide quality therapy over video, when and where it’s convenient for you. I know that there are many real-life barriers to getting the help you deserve and am committed to helping you create change and feel better. I work primarily with college students as they transition to college life, navigate dating relationships and peer relationships.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For me, being a physician is more than a profession—it is a vocation to help indviduals flourish. My practice is devoted to students and young adults seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that extends beyond symptom relief. I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider medical, nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors—including laboratory testing when clinically appropriate—to identify the contributors to emotional and cognitive health. I also specialize in evidence-based de-prescribing for patients who wish to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications for anxiety, attention difficulties, or substance use disorders. My approach is guided by precision, humility, and restraint: using the least intensive intervention necessary while drawing upon the full breadth of evidence-based medicine. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, I integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, when appropriate, carefully selected medications into a personalized treatment plan. In addition to my clinical work, I have presented internationally on psychiatric deprescribing and medical ethics. My work has been recognized with awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and other leading professional organizations. I am the Founder & Medical Director of Verigrate Health. I am licensed to serve patients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.
Therapy with me is real, supportive, and never stiff—just two humans talking it out. I specialize in working with young adults navigating perfectionism, the complexities of self-worth and anxiety as they transition into adulthood. I'll support you while also holding you accountable, because you can do this—even if it doesn’t feel that way yet. Together, we can explore what’s weighing on your mind, build confidence, and find a path forward that feels right. My goal is to help you trust yourself, feel more in control, and create a life that feels fulfilling. If any of this resonates with you, let’s connect—I’d love to support you.
Your feelings matter and sometimes it is not easy to talk about them. I provide a safe non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions, difficulties and experiences regarding uncertainty, stress, relationships, depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I will be there to listen, support and challenge you through those transitions. Starting at our initial session and continuing, my goal is to provide a welcoming environment which allows you get comfortable to share your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Let us work together to accomplish your goals and get you where you want to be.
