Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being a highly sensitive person isn't a weakness. It's a way of experiencing the world with greater depth, awareness, and emotional intensity. While these qualities can be tremendous strengths, they can also leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, develop boundaries that protect your energy, and embrace this part of yourself with greater confidence and self-compassion.

Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
