Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Perhaps you've done everything "right." Therapy. Supplements. Books. Meditation. Yet your nervous system still feels like it's carrying something much older than today's stress. I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, depression, CPTSD, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
Insight alone does not create change, but without it, we're just bumping around in the dark. If you choose to work with me, we will work on both developing insight and self-awareness, as well as behavioral and emotional change. My style is warm and supportive, but I won't shy away from offering constructive feedback if you are open to it. My areas of expertise include helping people recover from alcohol/substance use issues, trauma, family of origin issues, spiritual abuse and religious trauma/deconstruction, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD management, and stages of life transitions.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
As a therapist who works virtually, I've seen firsthand how removing the barrier of travel and waiting rooms creates space for more meaningful and authentic work. Clients show up while they're in the comfort of their own environments, reducing masking and other barriers to authenticity. For the clients I'm most passionate about working with, the flexibility of virtual care is a necessity. Virtual therapy allows me to meet people where they are both literally and figuratively.

Rebecca Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
When Understanding Yourself Isn't Enough
There is a particular kind of stuck that therapy books don't prepare you for. You've done the reflecting. You understand your patterns. And still, the same things keep happening — the same anxiety, the same relationship dynamics, the same feeling that something just won't shift.
That gap between understanding yourself and actually changing is real, and it's not a character flaw. It's where the real work begins.
What We Work On
As a licensed clinical social worker in Manhattan, New York, working with adults navigating:
Trauma and PTSD
Depression and anxiety
Relationship patterns that have resisted change
Borderline personality and emotional dysregulation
Codependency and attachment wounds
How We Work
Treatment centers on EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — two approaches that work at the level where insight alone doesn't reach. Not just the thinking mind, but the nervous system, the body, the parts of you still braced for something that already happened.
What to Expect
People who find their way here tend to be perceptive, self-aware, and genuinely motivated — and still struggling. Sessions are direct, warm, and honest. Nothing you bring will be too much. Nothing will shock me.
Getting Started
Located in Stuyvesant Town, lower Manhattan. Virtual sessions available throughout New York State. Fee is $250 per session, with a free 15-minute consultation to start.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
Even though sessions are virtual, I deeply value creating a genuine therapeutic connection and relationship with each client. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating, and I strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and human from the very beginning. Building trust and helping clients feel truly seen and understood is at the core of my work. I’m proud that many of my clients choose to continue working with me long term, which I believe reflects the strength of the relationships we build together and the sense of safety and consistency they experience in therapy.

Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being.
I take a very participatory approach in sessions.

I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

16 Years Experience

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
