Jenna Buono
Therapist, LPMHC
At Petals Therapy Psychotherapy, we provide nuanced, compassionate care for individuals living with Bipolar Disorder. We understand that navigating shifting moods, fluctuating energy levels, and the uncertainty that can accompany these changes can be both overwhelming and isolating.
Our approach emphasizes stability, self-understanding, and empowerment. We work with clients to identify mood patterns, develop grounding routines, strengthen coping skills, and create personalized strategies for managing both highs and lows. We also explore the emotional impact of living with Bipolar Disorder, including relationships, identity, and daily functioning.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
Very experienced in Bipolar. I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
