Self Psychology
Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.

Self Psychology
Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe that therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore and understand yourself in a way that is empowering and transformative. It’s easy to get caught up in the same routines and patterns you’ve always known, including those that don’t work for you anymore. Creating a space to delve into those patterns, explore your feelings, and experiment with new ways of being with yourself and others can be a meaningful catalyst for change.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Relational Psychoanalyst, LCSW, Psychotherapist
I believe in the transformative power of psychotherapy. The therapy I practice is grounded in contemporary psychoanalysis, an approach that’s curious about your inner world and attuned to unconscious patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to other people. This kind of therapy not only reduces symptoms; it helps you understand yourself on a deeper level, creating lasting change in how you experience yourself and how you show up in your relationships.

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.
