Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my clinical experience, self-esteem has always come up as part of a client's symptoms. Trauma, relationships, our society, on top of so much more, can really do damage to not only how we view ourselves and treat ourselves, but how we show up in relationships with others. That is why it is my mission to help people to grow into their healed, higher selves - because when we are able to love ourselves and every part of us, we will see the difference in every aspect of our lives.

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
I work with adults struggling with low self-esteem, self-doubt, and harsh self-criticism that impact their confidence, relationships, and personal fulfillment. Many clients feel capable outwardly but experience internal feelings of inadequacy or fear of failure. My approach combines insight-oriented work with practical strategies to challenge negative self-beliefs, build self-compassion, and strengthen confidence, helping clients develop a healthier, more empowered relationship with themselves.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Self-esteem is often shaped by early relationships, trauma, and the stories we’ve been told about ourselves. In therapy we work on changing those stories, building self-trust, and developing a more stable and compassionate sense of self.

Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
So much of our suffering comes from the way we talk to ourselves. I work closely with clients to identify the origins of their self-doubt and help them build a kinder, more grounded sense of self, a sense of self that isn't dependent on external validation.

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.
