Emily Brenner

Feeling on edge, shut down, or like your reactions don’t always make sense, even when you try your hardest to move forward. Past experiences can stay in your body and show up as anxiety, overwhelm, or a constant sense of unease. In our work, we’ll go at your pace to help you feel safer and more grounded. My approach allows work to understand your responses, process what you’ve been through, and help you reconnect with a sense of stability and control.

Rebecca Mitchell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSEd, SIFI
Trauma has a way of staying present long after the event itself has passed — in the body, in relationships, in the way ordinary moments can suddenly feel dangerous. Certified in EMDR and CPT, two of the most effective evidence-based treatments for PTSD, I work with adults in Manhattan and throughout New York who are ready to stop living around their trauma and start moving through it.

Ren Lee
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The trauma we experience can make us feel so disconnected and dissociated while also craving connection and warmth. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. Through understanding our intersectional identities, we can start to process and unpack the ways we struggle to show up for ourselves and each other. Healing is a process that takes time, authenticity, and gentle care. I am trained in Brainspotting.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how your nervous system responded. When trauma remains unresolved, it can show up as anxiety, shame, anger, numbness, flashbacks, sleep disturbance, relationship struggles, or chronic tension. Even long after the event is over, your body may still feel stuck in survival mode.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. Rather than reliving the past, EMDR helps your system integrate it—so it stops disrupting your present.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening trauma’s grip so you can feel safer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
When appropriate, we may integrate other approaches such as IFS or talk therapy—but EMDR is often the foundation of trauma treatment in my practice.

A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
Trauma changes the way people move through the world. Sometimes it looks obvious. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, anger, numbness, isolation, addiction, or feeling constantly on edge. I work with people in a grounded, authentic way to help them make sense of what they’ve been carrying and begin reconnecting with themselves and the people around them. The goal isn’t pretending the past never happened — it’s helping you stop feeling trapped by it.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
