Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I have worked with many clients struggling with body image, including body dysmorphia, body dysphoria, and eating disorders. Body image is often not really about appearance—it’s about control, shame, identity, trauma, and how we learned to be seen by others. Many people I work with have complicated relationships with their bodies due to trauma, gender identity, cultural pressure, or past experiences of being judged or objectified. In therapy, we focus on changing your relationship with your body from something you fight against into something you can live in with more compassion, safety, and choice.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
Assistance with coping skills, transitions, self-harm, your value runs deeper than your body. Shame wasn't there when you were born. 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.

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
