Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and most challenging roles an adult can take on — and yet it is one of the areas where people are least likely to ask for help. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with parents navigating parenting stress, child behavioral challenges, co-parenting conflict, blended family dynamics, parenting after divorce, and the emotional weight of raising children through difficult seasons. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused intervention, I help parents develop practical tools, healthier communication patterns, and greater confidence in their role. Telehealth parenting therapy available across 40+ states.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training & experience ranges from psychotherapy & assessment of adults, couples, & teens to counseling persons with AIDS & survivors of trauma with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. Parenting is the ultimate project. We’re foolish to think we can ever get it 100% right & I’d be remiss & presumptuous to suggest otherwise. But we can always do better. Many of the foundational elements of good psychotherapy: learning better insight, acuity (discernment), & self-control are key to our better parenting.

If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

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.
