Mental Health Therapy in East Aurora, NY |
In-Person & Online Services
Bonnie E. O'Brien, LCSW, PLLC
Our team offers integrative, attachment-centered counseling for children, teens, adults, and families, grounded in an understanding of how past and present experiences influence wellbeing — 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.

Real Support for Anxiety, Stress, Relationships & Life Transitions

Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem

-
Reconnect with your body and inner wisdom
