Psychologists in Buffalo, NY

I don't have any ideas but I wanted to applaud and commend you to being open and looking to change for the better. Good luck and hope you find what you need from this sub.

Hi there - getting help in Buffalo can be a bit difficult (at least, it was in my experience) but there are some really great providers out there. I see Cheryl Eberl for therapy, and she's absolutely amazing. I see her for anxiety/PTSD, but she also works with people with OCD. I also see a psychiatric nurse practitioner named Jenny Cascio at Williamsville Wellness Center. I don't know if she's accepting new patients right now, but there should be other people at the center who are. I went through 3 or 4 therapists and 3 psychiatrists before I found Cheryl and Jenny, and I can honestly say they've helped turn my life around. Wishing you the best, and let me know if I can help more!

Any questions let me know..

I know of people who specifically moved to Buffalo for OCD treatment. You’re in a good place to tackle it—stay strong, we all have your back.

[CMH Counseling in Elmwood Village](https://www.google.com/search?q=cmh+counseling+buffalo+ny&oq=cmh+counseling+buff&aqs=chrome.0.0 j69 i57.3022 j0 j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8) My wife goes there for OCD. She has made tremendous progress over the year and looks forward to her appointments. She see's Mary if it matters. They will not write you a script but will work with your primary on finding the right one.

UB north campus has a sliding scale program based on income. a student treats you, and the sessions are recorded. personally i think my diagnosis from there did more harm than good, but that is just me. luck

I went here a few decades ago: https://www.ccwny.org/services/monsignor-carr-clinics They were helpful and good for what I needed.

Hey! Good for you for reaching out for suggestions/help. That can be really difficult. My doctor recommended [Behavioral Healthcare Network](https://www.behavioralhealthcarenetwork.org/) of WNY for counselors and therapists. I have not tried any of them myself, but I do trust my doctors recommendations. Hope that helps!

If your in the city, I'd recommend Child and Family Services on Delaware Avenue in Downtown Buffalo. In the Southtowns, Spectrum Human Services located in both West Seneca and Springville. Both have excellent medication providers and therapists who are willing to help you a lot. For Treatment facilities, Brylin is the best. Their therapy program is second to none.

You’re a tank, OP. Takes a man to grab OCD by the horns and say you’re not accepting it any more. I can’t help with suggestions, but can tell you I went to Amherst Pediatricians when I was 15 and saw someone there. Changed my life. Just call around. There are so many places to get help in the area. Just remember that help will come if you look and this feeling is only temporary.

Sent you a DM.

Here you go. The NYS Office of Mental Health has a webpage with a searchable index of providers. Here is the link https://my.omh.ny.gov/bi/pd/saw.dll?PortalPages. It's worth noting that depending on what insurance you have, you may have limits on which office will accept that insurance.

Brylin outpatient in Williamsville changed my life. I do counseling and psych/med management with them. My depression and OCD also spiraled out of control and was cause some pretty bad anxiety. I highly recommend them. Completely different place than Brylin hospital FYI. This place is great.

I’ve been happy with Suburban Psychiatric—you can receive counseling from psychologists and meds from psychiatrists. I believe they have multiple locations: http://www.suburbanpsych.org Good luck, OP!

I would call your health insurer to get a list of in network providers.

Most people in your situation can't even admit a problem. You are already ahead! I hope you found some good direction here. Keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

Robert J. Graham on Dorchester in Elmwood Village. I see him for similar reasons and I've been very pleased so far.

Someone posted this link in a comment a while ago, and I re-post is as often as possible. Awesome resource for finding counselors in your area. http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_search.php

[Ed Gianino](http://www.suburbanpsych.org/about.html). He also has an office in downtown Buffalo. He's very caring and kind. Helped me through some stuff.

Try to avoid Catholic Charities and Horizon. If you have the dough or a good provider, go private.
