Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
While I am not formally trained as a Christian counselor, I am open to integrating a client’s faith into the therapeutic process when it is meaningful and important to them. For clients who identify as Christian, I welcome conversations about spirituality, belief in God, and how faith can serve as a source of strength, grounding, and guidance in their lives.
In a world that can often feel fast-paced, uncertain, and at times disconnected from spiritual values, I believe there is something deeply stabilizing about exploring one’s relationship with God and faith. For many clients, spirituality is not separate from their emotional life- it is intertwined with how they make meaning of suffering, navigate challenges, and find hope.
I approach this work with respect, curiosity, and openness, allowing clients to lead how and when their faith is included in our sessions. My goal is to support clients in drawing on their beliefs as a source of resilience, clarity, and comfort, while also holding space for the complexities, doubts, and questions that can arise along the way.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
This is Christian Counseling grounded in liberation theology and the Black prophetic tradition, specifically for those harmed by institutional religion. We use bibliotherapy and the works of Howard Thurman to reclaim the "Word" as a tool for your freedom. This is a space for spiritual seekers to deconstruct oppressive theology and find a faith that actually breathes.

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.
