Hi Reddit! I’m Kevin Coffey and I’m an assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I have 27 years of experience working with adults, teens and children dealing with anxiety and depression. I’ve worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics and the emergency room and use psychotherapy and psychopharmacology treatment to help patients. I am a certified group psychotherapist (CPG) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I supervise and work very closely with more than 30 social workers at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I also work in the University’s Psychology training program, educating the next generation of mental health experts.

My research area for my doctorate was gay, lesbian and bisexual adolescent suicidal behavior. I serve as the mental health consultant for the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley, an organization that supports and champions all members of the Rochester LGBTQ community. I also serve as an expert evaluator for SUNY Empire State College, where I evaluate students attempting to earn credit for mental health and substance abuse life experiences, which they can put toward their college degree.

I’m here to answer questions about managing anxiety and depression among all groups – adults, teens, kids, and members of the LGBTQ community. I’ll start answering questions at 2 pm EST. AMA!
