A Better High,LLC
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, C.A.R.C.
Trauma changes the way people move through the world. Sometimes it looks obvious. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, anger, numbness, isolation, addiction, or feeling constantly on edge. I work with people in a grounded, authentic way to help them make sense of what they’ve been carrying and begin reconnecting with themselves and the people around them. The goal isn’t pretending the past never happened — it’s helping you stop feeling trapped by it.

PTSD/Trauma
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that once made sense but no longer serve you. Therapy focuses on helping you understand the impact of what you’ve been through, strengthen your sense of safety, and move toward a life that feels less organized around survival.

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.
