Thomas Fronczak LCSW-RWelcome and thanks for checking out my website and inquiring about supportive psychotherapy services.
I am a licensed social work psychotherapist in private practice in Buffalo, NY. I bring 36 years of clinical experience to this work providing evidence-based care, infused with respect and dignity, that honors the strengths and resilience of individuals.
Working with adults and adolescents (13 years old and up), I provide individual psychotherapy within a holistic and integrated model of care. I received my master’s degree in social work from the State University of New York at Buffalo and am a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work.
Recognizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle, I explore such issues as nutrition, exercise, stress management, social connection and sleep in overall physical and emotional health and wellness.
As a trained yoga and mindfulness meditation instructor, I integrate mindfulness and psychotherapy. I earned a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from Cornell University and am a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work.
My clinical interests include health-related behavior change, harm reduction, Relational Cultural Theory, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy and lifestyle medicine as a part of an integrated approach to care.
I serve as an expert consultant and trainer for mental health professionals, state health institutions and community service agencies (Brown University, RI School of Design (RISD), Roger Williams University, RI Department of Health, Butler Hospital, RI Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, including The Big Picture Company, a national education reform movement) around a variety of mental health and lifestyle wellness topics.
I have provided consultation services to ABCNews Good Morning America, ABCNews 20/20, New York Times, HuffPost Live, Fox News, PEOPLE magazine, LOGO / Viacom, Sony Pictures, NewHouse News Service - which feeds stories to 40 national newspapers, several national magazines, and the San Francisco Examiner. I have also served as Adjunct Faculty in the Continuing Education Program at Roger Williams University.
Prior to relocating back to Buffalo, NY, I lived in Providence, RI, where I taught vinyasa yoga and mindfulness meditation classes in the community for almost 8 years. I was also an instructor in the Student Health and Wellness program at Rhode Island School of Design.
While in Rhode Island I received statewide recognition and was awarded for my work in community development through such activities as advocacy, outreach, education and program development.
In 2018, I was honored to be recognized and named to the roster of Health Care Champions by Buffalo Business First, signifying a high level of accomplishment within the field of health care in Western New York.
