Kelsey is a master of social work who works primarily with young adults experiencing life changes, relationships issues, grief, trauma, and depression and anxiety. She has a particular passion for helping people improve their self-understanding to strengthen platonic and romantic relationships, increase self-compassion, and to identify personal values and learn to live by them. Kelsey incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, but makes sure to tailor her sessions to the individual first and foremost. Before becoming a therapist, Kelsey had a career in advertising and marketing working for consumer brands and tech companies. Having experienced these worlds first-hand, Kelsey is uniquely equipped to understand and empathize with many of the challenges her clients face day-to-day — things like burnout, navigating office dynamics, and the identity struggle that comes with learning who you are as an adult while maintaining a demanding career. Kelsey seeks to create a safe and welcoming experience for her clients. She knows how to address immediate stressors and concerns, while keeping long-term healing goals at the forefront. She is welcoming of people of all identities and backgrounds, inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am a humanistic and relational therapist that is passionate about the power of human connection and strongly values the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a warm and safe space where individuals can feel safe to explore difficult topics, believing that this is the first and most important step in the healing process. I recognize that the human experience is often deeply complex and painful, yet has the potential to be beautiful and fulfilling as well. My goal in working with people is to walk alongside them and help them to better understand themselves, gain insight, work through the more painful moments of the past, and discover their own capability to cope with and grow through life’s hardships. My approach to therapy is holistic, exploring the many components and intersecting areas of a person’s life. Additionally, I work to tailor each therapeutic experience to the individual, accounting for the unique needs of each person. I have experience working with trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I love utilizing humor, creativity, and mindfulness in session, as I believe tapping into these elements can be incredibly healing.

My guide in counseling is to create a safe and welcoming environment that promotes autonomy, open and honest communication and support to be who you are, where you are while working on where you want to be. For many, the notion of therapy implies that “something is wrong” when it is quite the opposite. The clarity it takes to acknowledge, accept and receive therapy or ‘mind maintenance’ as I like to call it, means you are self-aware, and there is nothing wrong with that. I specialize in a bad day with academic stress, social anxiety and depression but I can also work with a good day!

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m a high school counselor with a Master of Science in Education in School Counseling from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a Psychology minor from the College of Charleston. I am a graduate student at University at Buffalo working toward receiving an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment where students feel empowered to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. In my work, I focus on addressing the academic, social-emotional, and career readiness needs of students. My focus areas also include anxiety and life transitions. Whether facilitating workshops on time management and college readiness, guiding students through college and job applications, or offering one-on-one counseling, my approach is always student-centered and strength-based. As a rowing coach with experience supporting and counseling student-athletes, I am dedicated to helping them balance the demands of academics, athletics, and personal growth. I prioritize creating individualized strategies tailored to each student’s unique circumstances, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and prepared for their next steps. I bring a trauma-informed and person-centered approach to my practice, coupled with techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. My ultimate goal is to make mental health and academic support accessible to all students, particularly those from underserved communities. With a background in both school counseling and teaching, I aim to create equitable opportunities for students to thrive. Caroline Lawlor is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health.

College can feel like a performance—keeping up with classes, friends, and family while hiding stress behind a smile. But you don’t have to carry that weight alone.

My approach is warm and supportive, using CBT to ease anxious thoughts, break unhelpful patterns, and build real coping tools.

I am a mother of two college going kids and adult psychiatrist. I am well aware of the day to day challenges student face. I take a uplifting and problem solving approach with my patients. I think it is important to understand the root of the problem and how we can work towards a solution. I like to have a positive attitude and it brings me great pleasure to see my patients do better. I go at my patient's pace and my top priority is to help you.

Since starting private practice, my clients have been for the most part POC, LGBTQ/non-binary, undergrad/graduate students. Since I spent five years teaching as an adjunct and then full-time professor (in nursing), I have some insights into the challenges today's students currently experience and believe I can be a useful asset toward managing any symptoms that may interfere with obtaining your degree. Even though I am a prescriber, I treat the whole person. I don't want to just know the medicine efficacy, or lack thereof; I also want to know what's going on in your life. Is there balance? Are you connected socially? Should we also be discussing any family issues? Going off to school can be challenging and although psychotropic medication plays a role in ameliorating anxiety and depression, we also can engage non-pharmacologic interventions to get you to a better place.

Are you an international or domestic student living away from home? Do you feel overwhelmed? Confused and homesick? These are common experiences that I can help you cope with as I moved from Mexico, my home country, to start my new life here in the United States when I was 18 years old. I am a native Spanish speaker and identify as Hispanic/Latina. My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in teamwork and following your pace in the therapy room, whether we meet online or in the office, as we explore the stress and pain that brings you to therapy. I appreciate your bravery in seeking the support you deserve. Do not hesitate to reach out via email, call or text. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! I'm Cathy, a clinical trainee at Taproot Therapy.

I aim to help you gain insights into your life and collaboratively build more balanced thoughts and behavior patterns! I hope to infuse our space with humor and warmth -- reach out if you have any questions or if anything here spoke to you! Happy to chat any time :)

Counseling is a brave space for clients to explore their experience, rewrite their narratives, and build stronger relationships. I also believe in a holistic approach to therapy to ensure all aspects of a person’s life are considered. Through my own mental health journey, I have learned the significance of collaborating with mind, body, and spirit. As a Black woman, I understand the need to provide mental health services to Black and minority communities, and to help eliminate negative stigmas about mental health for people of color. I am a sex-positive individual, who encourages identities outside of heteronormativity. I aim to help clients embark on their own wellness journeys and to cultivate a quality of life that reflects their personal values, cultures, and beliefs. I will use elements of DBT, Somatic, AEDP, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing modalities to individualize treatment for each client’s specific needs and goals. I strive for a therapeutic relationship that can be the foundation for continual healing and growth, where learning takes the forefront and challenging discussions are encouraged. I am passionate and open to hearing my client's individual stories with fresh eyes, allowing them to connect and share their authentic selves in a non-judgmental environment.
