Lena DeLeo
Hi there! I'm so glad you found my page. I look forward to helping you navigate whatever might currently be keeping you from feeling fulfilled. As a neurodivergent, queer identified therapist, I find myself working best with those who are developing greater attunement with their own identity. Together with my clients, I use a person-centered, strength-based approach to identify and practice coping skills and expand emotional awareness and resilience. Life is stressful and full of difficult experiences, and through art therapy directives as well as additional modalities such as DBT and EMDR, I partner with my clients to help them identify what it is that they would like to change and make a plan of action. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step! Whatever it is you need, I look forward to partnering with you in support and compassion.

Lily Uribe
I strongly believe in the power of therapy, whether you are struggling with your mental wellbeing, or are simply at one of those challenging, confusing, or stressful moments in life that we all experience. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with a wide range of concerns, and I specialize particularly in working with young adults. I invite my clients to use therapy as a safe and attuned space in which to share the thoughts and emotions that are most present for them, and then together we will untangle how these emotions are connected to current concerns, needs, and goals. Some common treatment focuses are life transitions, identity development, work or academic related stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, anxiety, and depression. Together, we can work to help you form a deeper understanding of both your strengths and stuck points, gain clarity and take steps toward your goals, and discover how you can use your unique strengths to cultivate a more authentic, liberated, and joyful life. Please feel free to contact me by email (counseling@lilyuribephd.com) or by phone (585)-309-5616 to schedule a free initial phone consultation.
Deeply Rooted Psych
I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. The students I work with usually made it a long way on effort alone. They got good grades, got into a good school, and figured out their own systems for keeping up. Then something changed. The workload got heavier, the structure got looser, or they hit a semester where the old tricks stopped working, and suddenly they were reading the same paragraph four times, starting papers the night before, or so exhausted after a full day of class and people that they had nothing left. A lot of them have been told they are smart but not applying themselves. A lot of them have been treated for anxiety or depression, and it helped some, but not with the part that actually gets in the way. Many are Black students, women, or students who learned early to keep it together in public no matter what it cost. Nobody ever suggested testing, because from the outside they looked fine. Some come to me because a friend got diagnosed and it sounded familiar. Some come because they need documentation for accommodations and have no idea where to start. Some come because they are tired of not knowing. If any of that sounds like you, I do evaluations for ADHD and autism in adults. You do not need to have it figured out before you reach out. That is what the evaluation is for.

Cecily Anders
Therapy is a journey where you learn more about yourself, your internal experience, and your loved ones in order to change your life based on your own goals and values. I can help you and/or other members of your family gain flexibility in your thoughts and actions through experiential skill development. At times, therapy can involve vulnerability and emotional expression; while at other times, it can be playful and enlightening. My goal is to create a warm and safe environment where emotions, thoughts, memories, and other internal experiences can be explored with compassion and understanding. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and interpersonal concerns using a variety of evidence based treatments. I have helped children, adolescents, families, parents, and couples approach their concerns from a family systems perspective.

Dr.Brotz, Licensed Psychologist
While our practice does not offer traditional therapy, we specialize in comprehensive diagnostic assessments for adults who are either seeking a clearer understanding of their mental health or who have found traditional therapy ineffective in meeting their needs. Our evaluation process is designed to get to the root of what’s truly going on—emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally. Following assessment, you will receive a detailed clinical report that includes a formal diagnosis (if applicable), a personalized treatment plan, and targeted recommendations to guide therapy. This approach helps ensure that your time in treatment is focused, efficient, and grounded in evidence-based practices. How Our Services Differ Many adults enter therapy without a clear diagnosis or direction, often leading to months or even years of “talk therapy” without significant progress. Our approach removes the guesswork. Using a structured combination of clinical interviews, psychological and personality testing, and other relevant measures, we provide a complete picture of your functioning. Every recommendation we provide is backed by empirical data and tailored to your individual history, needs, and goals. You’ll walk away with: • A definitive understanding of what you're experiencing • A written treatment plan based on scientific evidence and best practices • A list of highly qualified therapists in your area with experience in your specific areas of need What to Expect • Two appointments: one clinical diagnostic interview and one testing session • Psychological and personality measures, with additional assessments as needed • A thorough written report outlining diagnostic findings and a therapy roadmap • A final feedback session to walk through your results and next steps If you're interested in proceeding, please reply to confirm and provide a copy of your photo ID and the front and back of your insurance card(s). If you have questions before moving forward, I’d be happy to speak with you directly. Warmly, Dr. Brotz

We specialize in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, and body image — and we bring a no-judgment, no-sugarcoating approach to all of it.

We offer a superbill to be submitted to insurance for reimbursement and will assist in verifying benefits. We additionally offer a sliding scale rate. Please reach out to learn more.
Mark Blanchard / Blindspot Psychology Group
You’re thoughtful, capable, & accomplished, yet something doesn’t feel quite right. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Perhaps the same patterns keep repeating or life feels harder than it should. You may have tried pushing through or relying on self-help books, advice from others, or prior therapy without resolution. Many of the adults, teens, & couples I work with are looking for more than quick fixes or symptom relief alone. They want to understand why they struggle & reach a place where they can experience greater insight, confidence, direction, & inner peace. I’m a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist, researcher, & educator specializing in psychodynamic therapy. I work with complex problems across the lifespan, drawing on advanced training in personality, attachment, trauma, & relational functioning. I provide psychological testing for diagnostic clarification & offer dating consultation & clinical supervision. Finding the right fit matters. Whether you're pursuing personal growth, healing from old wounds, or seeking something different from past care, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, & supported, while also gaining perspective. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to see whether working together might be helpful.
