Lee McAvoy, MA, MSEd, LMHC Trauma and Grief Counseling
I am a licensed mental health counselor in private practice in Rochester, NY since 1994. I work with clients committed to recovering from trauma and traumatic loss.
Current research has shown that an integrative approach (complementing traditional talk therapy with other modalities) is most effective in healing from traumatic life events. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitizaton and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mind-body therapy.
Traumatic events keep one frozen in time, often unable to move forward in ways essential to having healthy relationships and leading a fulfilling life. Trauma includes profoundly life changing events such as childhood abuse, natural disasters, warfare, and loss of loved ones. Long periods of stress can also be traumatic as can loss of health, employment, identity or self esteem.
Through my personal commitment to transformation and years of assisting clients I know that it is possible to transcend life's most difficult experiences. It is through this healing process that we become more compassionate and resilient.
