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 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.

Dr. Cory Cummings LCSW, PhD (He/Him)
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we are ineffective in building the life we want to be living. My aim is for therapy to be a tool for you to feel more effective and confident in pursuing your goals and to find a sense of well-being in your life. We all have strength, hope and the ability to heal, but often we lose sight of this. Therapy is about reclaiming these gifts.
I have practiced as a licensed clinical social worker for a number of years, providing both individual and group therapy. I have received intensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and use this frequently in my practice, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, and Narrative approaches. I enjoy working with a range of clients and especially serving members of the LGBTQ+ community and people experiencing symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. I also have a PhD in social work, which is in good use as a social work educator at Nazareth College and as a scholar focusing on the areas of LGBTQ+ aging, mental health recovery and wellness, and community-engaged scholarship.
As a therapist, I tend to be authentic, warm, and use a fair amount of humor (when appropriate). I value the trust and vulnerability that clients bring to the therapeutic relationship and I work hard to honor this. I look forward to working with you.

My top priority is to provide you with a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. We will work together towards developing insight, fostering self-compassion, and finding strategies to help you live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. We will set goals together, tailoring our approach to suit your individual needs and preferences. I have had the honor to work in the field of mental health for the past 15 years and journey alongside amazing people who were able to discover the strength, grace, and wisdom waiting for them.
While I have experience providing several treatment modalities, I specialize in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have also been extensively trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
Additionally, for the past eight years, I have taught courses on human behavior and additional topics at SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College allowing me to stay current on mental health research and treatments. My experience has shown me that everyone has the capacity for growth, we sometimes just need a space to discover and map out the life that we want. I would be honored to provide that space and help you bring more authenticity into your life.

Clare Haag-Holahan, LMHC (She/Her)
I grew up outside of Rochester, NY and graduated from St. John Fisher with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have interned and worked in outpatient settings, high schools, elementary schools as well as private practice in Monroe, Wayne and Cayuga county in the last four years. I do specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults, I believe this age range is such a pivotal moment in life that goes by so fast. I hope that having additional support during all the transitions that happen in this time of life can lessen some of the difficulties of learning how to grow up in the crazy world we live in. I also have a lot of experience working with play therapy and specific modalities for younger children and toddlers. I enjoy and have worked with all ages and walks of life from 3 years old to 80 and above.
I love to use humor in my therapy, when appropriate of course. I believe that trust is essential in any therapeutic relationship, especially with adolescents/young adults. I enjoy creating a safe space for my clients where their autonomy is not compromised. I am very client-centered and believe that you should have an active role in how we spend our time in session. My goal is for our sessions to feel comforting and challenging. As cliche as it sounds, I whole heartedly believe my
clients are in control of their life as well as their therapy. I use interventions from a number of different theories and modalities to provide the best care to each individual person. With that being said I most often find myself using CBT, DBT and motivational interviewing techniques.
My goal is to meet you where you are at, wherever that may be. My hope is my clients are able to find confidence in themselves in sessions with me and feel challenged to make changes in their life. I hope my clients feel as though we are taking on life challenges together, and maybe have some laughs along the way.

Tobi Keefe LCSW, MS
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, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Trauma processing informs my practice.
I am a licensed clinical social worker. I attended the University of 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.

Evan Rubenstein, LCSW, MS
Searching for a therapist you feel comfortable speaking with can feel overwhelming. Just taking the first step to reach out for support can often feel like one of the biggest barriers to starting therapy. I commend you for taking that first step towards bettering yourself and creating the quality of life you truly want. I know the results can be transformative when you find the right mental health counselor for yourself.
With regards to my sessions, I create a supportive and collaborative environment to help you safely work through your challenges and achieve your personalized goals. I also believe humor, creativity, and authentic rapport are key elements to a successful and lasting therapeutic relationship.
I work with diverse populations ranging from college students to active adults. I specialize in, but am not limited to, working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Additionally, with a background in visual arts, I embrace the creative process and understand the importance of self-expression.
I am an experienced social worker who’s practiced clinical therapy in acute, medical, community, and outpatient settings. I have served as a Crisis Therapist at a Mobile Crisis unit, providing mental health triage to high acuity patients in our community, while also serving as a Clinical Evaluator at the hospital’s Behavioral Health Access & Crisis Center (BHACC). I’ve also served as a social worker at the Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) specializing in the stabilization of high acuity patients within the Boarder program. Prior to working at the hospital, I co-facilitated anxiety groups at an outpatient mental health clinic where I also served as a Primary Therapist for individual therapy.
My sessions are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic interventions. My approach includes Narrative Therapy to help you recognize self defeating patterns, Motivational Interviewing to empower you to achieve obtainable goals that align with your core values, and Mindfulness Interventions to guide you towards openness, acceptance, and being in the present moment.

Jennifer McDaniels, LCSW (She/Her)
Choosing to seek counseling and then finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming and at times, impossible. As a therapist, I can understand the courage and thoughtfulness in this choice. I have been working with people and walking with them on their journey to healing for over 12 years. Meeting people where they are, listening to their goals, and building upon their strengths and life experience is the most important part of this work. Together, we can rediscover your strengths and explore how you prefer to see yourself moving forward.
A little about my journey: I am an Army combat veteran who chose to change careers after my deployment to Iraq. During my deployment, I noticed how deeply the experiences and what we bear witness to, changes us. I wanted to learn more and be a part of the healing for my fellow veterans and for others who have survived trauma. As humans, our bodies are not made for what we too often endure, however, as humans we do have what it takes to gain deeper understanding and fold these experiences into who we are, becoming stronger in the process.
Modalities: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am currently pursuing certification in Advanced Grief Counseling and Complex Trauma (CCTP/CCTP II).
Counseling begins and ends with you as the client. As therapists, we have the honor of stepping into your journey and facilitating the healing and discovery of your strengths. I would welcome the opportunity to work together, wishing you a good journey as you choose your path.
