Spotted Rabbit Studio specializes in "therapy that doesn't feel like therapy". We don't work in a stale clinical space, or one that's filled with positivity cliches. Our therapists are real people, who will treat you as an equal on your journey toward emotional wellness. Therapy sessions are held at a table, so that you may engage in art making during your time with us. Our space is colorful and homey feeling, and is a place where you're free to make a mess or kick your shoes off. We aren't here to "fix" you so sessions generally begin by you deciding what you'd like to talk about or work on and then we go from there. Often we'll provide you with an art making prompt while we chat, but that's ultimately up to you. Through out the session we'll focus on creating a space for you that's grounded in trust, support, and validation, all the while gentle challenging beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck.

We all want to love, be loved, do something meaningful, and have purpose in our lives, yet all too often prior relationships and life experiences have left us with coping skills that are unhealthy, ineffective or just downright baffling. As a practice, Spotted Rabbit Studio specializes in working with adults who have a history of childhood emotional abuse and/or neglect. Those we work with often find that they have difficulty with relationships, struggle to relax, and wish they were in more control of their lives. For clients with disordered eating, we work from a HAES and intuitive eating approach. Additionally, several of our therapists are LGBTQIA+ and we work with clients to explore and develop their gender and sexual identity. We also specialize in teens and adults with neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, OCD). Some of our therapists are in network with Cigna and MVP commercial plans. We offer sessions in-person at our Studios in Brighton and Pittsford NY, or online.

At the beginning of a session, I invite you to share what’s been going on in your life, what’s on your mind, what’s bothering you, or whether there are any goals you’d like to discuss. You’ll be invited to speak openly, I will listen for understanding and may take notes as you speak if necessary. You won’t be criticized, interrupted or judged as you speak. Your conversation will be kept in the strictest confidentiality. This is a special, unique type of conversation in which you can say exactly what you feel—total honesty—without worrying that you’re going to hurt someone’s feelings, damage a relationship, or be penalized in any way. Anything you want—or need—to say is OK. Each session is, essentially, a problem-solving session. You describe your current situation, and your feelings about it, and then guide you through different therapeutic approaches to assist you in trying to resolve that problem so you can move closer to having the life you wish to have.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is a very personal step and I encourage you to be as selective as possible to find the right fit for you and your needs. My approach is to work beside you to achieve your personal goals and growth, using proven cognitive based strategies and solution focused techniques. I believe that each person deserves to be heard and understood to be able to heal and live their best life. You CAN move forward and find the peace and harmony you seek and deserve. We will work to find your path to a healthier "you".

For the first session, you can expect for us to spend the majority of the first 1-2 sessions on getting to understand what is bringing you into treatment, your background history, your strengths, and gathering information to ensure the therapy space feels affirming and validating of your experience through building rapport. Over time, the sessions will be more fluid and tailored to your individual style and structure if desired to work towards your individual goals.

Greetings fellow human, I recognize how intimating the search for a therapist can be. I hope that you are being kind to yourself and allowing time to feel your feels. I am one of many options, and I hope you find what you need because you deserve care that holds all of you. I may be a good fit, if you're looking for a deep reflection, compassion, and inner clarity.

Therapy sessions with me are structured yet flexible, designed to create a comfortable and supportive environment for clients. At the beginning of our work together, we typically conduct an initial assessment to explore the client's concerns, goals, and any relevant history. This helps us develop a tailored treatment plan. Each session generally lasts 50 to 60 minutes, during which we engage in open dialogue about the client’s feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and other modalities based on the client’s needs. Throughout our sessions, I encourage clients to express themselves freely, ask questions, and share their progress. We may also work on practical coping strategies and exercises that they can use between sessions. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we regularly review and adjust our goals to ensure that the therapy remains relevant and effective. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
