The way we perceive and interpret ourselves, other people and events as well as the appropriateness of our emotional responses and how we can control your impulses tells others how well we function when dealing with other people and in relationships.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Personality patterns can shape how you experience yourself, your emotions, and your relationships—sometimes in ways that feel rigid, overwhelming, or difficult to change. In therapy, we approach these patterns with curiosity and respect, rather than labels or judgment. Together, we’ll explore how these ways of relating developed, what they’ve helped you manage, and where they may be getting in the way. Over time, the goal is to build greater awareness, flexibility, and stability—so you can relate to yourself and others in ways that feel more balanced, authentic, and sustainable.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Living with a personality disorder can feel like you’re caught in patterns you don’t fully understand — where relationships, emotions, or your sense of self feel unstable or overwhelming. In psychodynamic therapy, we’ll explore the deeper emotional roots of these struggles, many of which stem from early relational wounds or unmet developmental needs. Together, we’ll work to make sense of your inner world, helping you build greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and more fulfilling relationships. Change doesn’t come from fixing what's “wrong” with you — it comes from discovering and healing what’s been hurt.

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.
