Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
The way we feel about our bodies affects almost everything: how we move through the world, how we connect with others, and how we treat ourselves. If you've spent years in a complicated relationship with your body, you're not alone, and you're not beyond help. We offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore those feelings and start building a healthier relationship with yourself from the inside out.

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.

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.
