Raffinee Acoff-Johnson, LMHC, CASAC (She/Her)
Making the decision to seek therapy can be a very overwhelming, yet life changing decision that challenges you to grow. In being mindful of how delicate the process is when starting therapy, I acknowledge the courage that it took to take action and seek help from a professional. My goal is to walk with you on this journey and assist with making the life changes that you see fit, since you are indeed the expert of your own life. I will meet you where you are at and let you lead the focus of each session.
I was raised in Rochester, NY and graduated from St. John Fisher with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have interned and worked in outpatient settings for diverse substance use and mental health clinics. As a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor, I am aware of the many challenges faced when making the decision to seek help and work through, as well as manage, addiction. In addition to this focus, I have also worked with the LGBTQ+ community, adolescents, and the older adult population. My expertise includes anxiety, depression, identity issues/concerns, life transitions, and relationships.
I believe that one of the most important aspects of therapy is having rapport with your therapist to ensure a sense of safety and trust. It is with the presence of both that you will feel comfortable enough to challenge yourself in ways that you may have never imagined. In doing so, you allow yourself the space and freedom to share your most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences in order to work on healing what may be at the core of what brings you to therapy. To assist in this process, I use a number of therapeutic modalities such as Person- Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. It is my hope that in working together, you will be able to live a life where you are undeniably the best version of yourself.

Alana Geller, LMHC (She/Her)
Welcome! As a child and adolescent therapist, my goal is to support children and teens in processing traumatic experiences, developing healthy coping skills, building self-esteem, and fostering positive interpersonal relationships. I specialize in working with children (ages 3-18) who have experienced trauma. I have a deep understanding of child development and how to help children express, understand, and regulate their emotions. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and involves non-directed, client-centered, client-led sessions. Building safe relationships with children and adolescents takes time and patience. As a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist, my goal is to help build trust and empower your child to be the best version of themselves.
I graduated from the University of Rochester with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have interned and worked in non-profit settings that specialize in treating children and adolescents with trauma. I have experience in non-structured and structured play therapy, creative arts therapy, CBT, TF-CBT, and talk therapy. I offer developmentally appropriate interventions that allow my clients to utilize the therapy space in ways that empower them to process experiences, express emotions, and make positive changes.
Being able to witness growth and instill hope during the early stages in life is my “why” for working with children and adolescents. The power of play therapy is incredible. I hope to continue to provide a safe space for children to show up, challenge themselves, and process their feelings and experiences, all while being able to just be a kid.

Tobi Keefe, LCSW, MS (She/Her)
People often start therapy because they are not getting their needs met, and they do not have the life they want. Old patterns keep coming up and getting in their way. You can try to deal with problems by ignoring them, denying them, or pushing away the discomfort. This may work short term, but rarely works well forever.
For successful therapy, I find we need to work as equal partners. After all, you are the expert on you. However, many people find they benefit from occasional coaching.
It’s challenging to share with a new person. I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to explore your habitual behaviors and to create new narratives. I also offer brief problem-solving therapy - many issues can improve in a short time. My areas of practice are depression; anxiety; attachment and intimacy issues; coping with life changes; challenges of chronic illness; Post Traumatic Stress; Brief Solution Focused Therapy; and work relationship issues. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression, anxiety, insomnia (certified) and trauma (Cognitive Processing Therapy, certified) as well as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Trauma processing informs my practice.
I am a licensed clinical social worker. I attended the University at Buffalo. My social work career has included working on the Veterans’ Crisis Line, treating returning Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as their family members, and working within a primary care setting as an embedded behavioral health social worker.

Lisa Cole, LMHC (She/Her)
I operate under the assumption that every human wakes up each day and does the best job they know how to do. By creating an environment of safety and unconditional positive regard, my hope is for you to stop just surviving the day-to-day and start living. I believe firmly in the healing experience of coming to therapy and feeling seen, heard, and accepted for exactly who you are. Together we will journey towards authenticity, self-identified goals, and deconstructing painful narratives and patterns, all while firmly maintaining self-compassion. I graduated from St. John Fisher with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with a vast range of individuals throughout my career, including but not limited to college students, survivors of sexual harassment and abuse, and marginalized identities. I have experience working with addiction, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal violence, guilt and shame, suicidal ideation, and personality disorders. I have formal training in Polyvagal Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. And while I am confident in utilizing these evidence-based interventions in my clinical work, I also firmly believe in the healing power of two individuals holding space together and creating safety, which will be the foundation of every session.
Together we can explore who you truly are rather than who the world tells you you should be and push back on the internalized systems that keep us trapped in spirals of shame and pain. It would be an honor to share this journey with you.

Ana Baker, LCSW (She/Her)
Hello and welcome! Take a deep breath in and release some of the pressure you are feeling right now.
You have made it to the right place and I’m so glad you’re here. In your sessions I offer a safe space and
a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate approach. You are in the driver’s seat. I’ve got the
roadmap and I am ready to help you navigate your goals and guide you on your journey…the winding
roads, the forks that unexpectedly spring up, the boulders that feel so heavy, and also celebrate the
roads with smooth paths where you have the window down, feel the wind in your hair, and the smell of
hope in the breeze. So get in the car (or hop on Zoom!), we’re going on a life trip!
I have a wide range of experience working with individuals across the lifespan and have worked in a
variety of settings in the mental health field including outpatient community mental health, non-profit
organizations, a local college campus counseling center, as well as school social work. I utilize modalities of CBT, DBT, Solution-focused therapy, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness interventions, and play therapy techniques in sessions. [Spoiler alert: Play therapy is not just for kids!] I value the opportunity to incorporate each person’s interests in their sessions. From exploring your favorite songs and lyrics, movies, books, art and game-play, and connecting those to your life experiences and goals.
I specialize in (but am not limited to) working with individuals with Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, individuals with physical and acquired disabilities, individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, as well as young adults navigating life transitions, college, and the overwhelming journey of “adulting.” Additionally, I have experience working with senior adults, caregivers and families of individuals with dementia, and parents/caregivers of children with chronic medical diagnoses. Throughout my career, I have assisted individuals in their journeys with anxiety, depression, grief and
loss, executive functioning skills, life transitions, relationships, and caregiving across the lifespan. Let’s do this. I believe in you and I can’t wait to start working with you.
“Every once in a while, I have to catch myself and remind myself that life is right now. It's not two
minutes from now." -Sheryl Crow
