Mental Health Counseling in East Aurora, NY |
In-Person & Telehealth Services
Bonnie E. O'Brien, LCSW, PLLC
Our compassionate team of therapists provides integrative, trauma-informed counseling for children, teens, adults, and families — offering in-person sessions in East Aurora and virtual therapy throughout New York State.
​
Our practice is grounded in curiosity, respect, and a belief that real change comes from understanding the patterns and parts within us that shape how we live and relate. Each therapist brings their own style and expertise, united by a shared commitment to depth, integrity, and genuine connection.
​
We help individuals make sense of what feels confusing, find steadiness where things feel uncertain, and create space for growth that feels natural — not forced.
Our Approach to Counseling & Support
​At the heart of our work is a different perspective:
We don’t see your challenges as problems to "fix." We see them as powerful messages—calls for compassion, curiosity, and care.
​
We support individuals through a wide range of experiences, including:
-
Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem
-
Trauma and PTSD
-
Life transitions and identity shifts
-
Relationship or family conflicts
-
Pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting
-
Work stress, burnout, and professional pressure
-
ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and more​
​We assist you in feeling:
-
More grounded and connected to yourself
-
Less overwhelmed, with tools that actually work for your nervous system
-
More at ease in your body, even when life feels hard
-
Seen, heard, and understood, especially in the parts of you that have felt hidden or silenced
-
Empowered to make choices that align with who you truly are
-
Hopeful—about your healing, your relationships, and your future
​
Using transformative, evidence-informed practices like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic (body-based) therapy, we help you move beyond just coping. Together, we’ll explore how to:
-
Reconnect with your body and inner wisdom
-
Understand and care for the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe
-
Break cycles that have been passed down through generations​
This isn’t surface-level support or one-size-fits-all advice.
This is deep, lasting healing rooted in community, cultural awareness, and ancestral wisdom.
Whether you're reaching out for yourself, your child, or your family—we’re here to walk alongside you.
