Core Mental Health Counseling 374 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14202

"I’ve had a good experience so far, but my original therapist/counselor left the practice with zero warning. She was great & I miss her, I just hope that doesn’t happen again to myself or another client."

"Cannot say enough good things about CORE! Absolutely love my therapist, and their billing person has been incredibly helpful (and prompt) with any question I have ever had. The help I am recieving in my therapy sessions is unmatched, and I have been in therapy (elsewhere) for 20 years. CHOOSE CORE!"

"LOVE Colleen Russo ! This lady changed my life and makes me feel so comfortable like no other healthcare provider ever has. Wonderful bedside manner, very thorough, honest, and understanding. I'll continue seeing her for a while!! I cannot say enough good things."

"Core mental health is a excellent counseling service. They are always professional and make the counseling experience easy and efficient. Brian Costello is a gifted counselor and has truly made a difference in my life. If you need some help in these challenging times, I would endorse Brian and his colleagues wholeheartedly."

"After nearly a year of twice-monthly sessions, I’m incredibly proud of my progress and exceedingly grateful to Emily Shields, Brian Costello, and the rest of the team at Core Mental Health Counseling. Emily is truly a professional listener, and guided me out of a very unhealthy mindset and negative self-image with encouragement, consideration, and a comforting space to be honest and vulnerable. I use the lessons and tools she provided on a regular basis, and now have a new confidence and foundation to ground me when I start to fall back into old habits. Brian’s men’s group was also very helpful, and our deconstruction of masculinity and the expectations around it helped me let go of a lot of pressures the other members and I were holding onto. Thanks to him, I feel much more free in my existence and am open to much broader explorations of gender. I’m entering a new chapter in my life very soon, with a new excitement and clarity that I wouldn’t have found on my own. I strongly recommend the services at Core Mental Health Counseling to anyone feeling like they’re thinking in circles without a foundation to stand on. Even if you’re looking for something different out of therapy than what I was, I’m confident that these professionals will tailor your counseling to what you need and support you where you feel alone. Thank you so much!"
