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.

Welcome! Therapy can be a daunting experience, which can create a barrier to people getting the help they want and need. As a therapist, I am not here to judge but to support you and help you feel comfortable so you can reach your goals. Although I have extensive experience with children, I work with all ages as I know life stressors, trauma, and mental health concerns do not have an age preference.
I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children and teens. I come with the understanding that many people have experienced trauma and it is important to be cognizant of each person's particular trauma history during treatment. I provide individualized treatment, as you are unique and need treatment dedicated solely to your particular needs. I create a safe place for self-expression and self-exploration for every client. I have previously worked in community based settings with children and outpatient settings with adults, including many different populations such as clients with intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and co-occurring disorders. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and have worked in the mental health field providing hands-on support and interventions in behavioral group home settings. My background provides me with insight into the diverse needs of people experiencing mental health challenges. As your therapist, it would be my honor to support you in your growth to become the person you want to be and to achieve the future you want. The first step in creating the change you want is to reach out!

Life can sneak up on us without warning and emotional stressors impact all individuals without discrimination. People often turn to ineffective coping strategies as a means of escaping emotional pain. I believe the most successful path to healing is one that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms. I understand that addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress can affect every aspect of your life. It is my hope that, together, we can develop healthier skills to overcome whatever barriers you may be experiencing to physical, mental, and emotional wellness.
I use an eclectic treatment approach consisting of evidence-based practices, tailored to your individual needs in order to achieve the quality of life you desire. I have formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT). I graduated from St. John Fisher with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). I have worked in a number of outpatient settings and have specialized in treating adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders for over 14 years. If you feel that you are ready to make positive changes in your life, I encourage you to take that first step on your journey to healing. Let our work together help transform you into the best version of yourself. I look forward to seeing you soon!

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.

Welcome. Whatever you're struggling with, I'm not here to save or cure you. What I can offer is support, companionship, guidance, and practical tips as you engage the simple and difficult process of dressing wounds, remembering how to draw in nourishment, and reorienting toward your own ‘true north.’ The long-term goal of this work is not to help you become more 'well-adjusted,' but more fully yourself in a world that often makes that difficult. It may be hard to hear, but that deep-in-your-bones longing really matters. You may have forgotten it, ridiculed it, buried it for any number of very sensible reasons; but I assure you it is waiting patiently for your return. That longing, that certain something that you can't seem to find anywhere? That is yours to grow into. And I would propose that that becoming, that filling in of the larger You, is essential not only to your own sanity, but to the health of all Life. In that spirit I may challenge you to look at the ways that you are evading the responsibility of becoming. But believe me, I evade too. I will regard you with tenderness and understanding even as I ask you to do the terrifying – trust yourself a little more. Fill your form.
I hold a master's degree in mindfulness-based transpersonal clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University, and am licensed to practice professional counseling in New York and Colorado.

What gets in the way of having inner fulfillment and the life that you want?
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.
It’s challenging to share with a new person. I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to explore your habitual behaviors, self-sabotaging patterns, and the inner critic to create new narratives. My areas of practice are relationship difficulties; loss and grief; depression; anxiety; commitment and intimacy issues; shame; boundaries; coping with life changes; and the challenges of chronic illness. I am formally 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 obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University at Buffalo and am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). 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.

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 counties in the last four years. I 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.

Courtney Wink, LCSW, Associate Clinical Director (She/Her)
With over 14 years of experience, I have honed my skills to support individuals from diverse backgrounds in their personal growth and healing. I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and problem-solving techniques. As a therapist, I take an active approach—asking thought-provoking questions, offering psychoeducation, providing practical tools, and collaborating on potential solutions. My clients often describe our sessions as feeling like a conversation with a trusted friend who listens attentively, while also offering direct, insightful feedback when needed. I specialize in working with individuals who prioritize others’ well-being, often at the expense of their own. This includes caregivers, professionals in the helping fields (teachers, nurses, mental health providers), and those navigating the challenges of supporting loved ones with substance abuse or mental health concerns. In these sessions, I focus on building skills in assertiveness, boundary-setting, self-compassion, and fostering a more balanced, compassionate mindset.
I also have a strong passion for working with adults who have been newly diagnosed with ADHD. For those who have long struggled with unanswered questions like, “What is wrong with me?” or “Why is everything harder for me?” I find it deeply rewarding to help normalize their experiences. Through our work together, I aim to empower clients with the tools they need to regain control of their lives while cultivating a kinder, more understanding view of themselves.
If you're looking for a supportive, engaging therapist who will offer both compassion and practical strategies, I would love to connect with you.

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.

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.

It's not about "trying harder", it's about trying differently. This is where we start in our sessions. Often times clients have had the same frustrating conversation with themselves and loved ones over and over again. Let's get unstuck from that. Together we will us what research and my professional experience has taught me is most helpful in treating what ails you and combining that with your own unique strengths and supports. I find deep meaning in working with people who are re-examining their relationship with alcohol and drugs. My work has shown to be especially helpful with college students , entrepreneurs and those in helping professions (e.g. therapists, nurses, 1st responders).
I strongly believe in the importance of humor and compassion as part of therapy. You will find my approach to be very down-to -earth and professional. I also rely on you to set the pace for what is worked on in sessions. Finally I'm a firm believer in transparency in therapy; meaning I will share with you why I am asking about certain things or suggesting coping skills.
I have 24 years of professional experience. I have extensive training in motivational interviewing, CBT, ACT and mindful self compassion. My background includes serving as the Clinical Lead Therapist for outpatient VA programs in Upstate NY and as a national trainer for their MI program. I've also worked in every level of substance abuse treatment there is; from detoxification to outpatient (aftercare) counseling. I have also served as a therapist treating employees and their family members at a large local teaching hospital and medical center. I also have experience creating and teaching Masters level courses at Nazareth University and the State University of New York at Brockport.
