Counseling and Energy Healing

Where therapy meets energy healing to support your growth, balance, and transformation.

About Helen | Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Reiki Practitioner in Western New York

Hey, hi, and welcome!


I’m Helen Capita, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York, Reiki Master, and your local friendly Psychic.

Usui Reiki Training:
• Level I — Shoden: Self-Healing
• Level II — Okuden: Distance Healing
• Level III — Shinpiden: Spiritual Healing

Acknowledging the need for change is the first spark of transformation, and I’m here to help you tend and nourish your development. My work centers on helping you gain insight into your emotional and energetic patterns, reconnect with your truth, and build the resilience to move through life’s messier moments with compassion and authenticity.

 I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and supported — free from judgment or expectation.

 I blend traditional therapy with intuitive and energetic healing to support your whole self — mind, body, and spirit. For those who are open to it, I love weaving in conversations around astrology, paganism, crystals, intuitive development, and energy work.

To me, spirituality isn’t a fixed system — it’s an evolving, deeply personal relationship with yourself and the universe around you. Every one of us is an energetic being, and true healing often begins when we remember who we are beneath the layers of fear, expectation, and survival mode.

My therapeutic toolbox includes:
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Mindfulness
Reiki Energy Healing

 Reiki supports emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deep energetic recalibration — helping you return to a place of peace and clarity within yourself.

🌙 Alignment, Authenticity, and the Journey Home

Finding alignment — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically — is the core of everything I do. Alignment means honoring what’s true for you, even when it looks nothing like anyone else’s path.

Together, we’ll work to help you reclaim your voice, step fully into your power, and create a life that feels aligned, whole, and yours.

Whether our sessions are filled with deep insight, quiet reflection, or bursts of laughter, I’ll hold sacred space for it all. Healing is messy. It’s magic. And it’s absolutely possible one step at a time.

Psychic Mediumship & Intuitive Guidance

Sometimes the answers we seek come through conversation. Sometimes they arrive through Spirit.

These sessions are a sacred space to receive messages from loved ones who have crossed over, intuitive guidance about your life's path, energetic insights, and validation meant to support your healing and self-discovery. Every session is unique, and messages are shared with compassion, authenticity, and respect for your journey.

This is a spiritual offering designed to provide insight—not certainty or prediction.

Disclaimer: These sessions are for spiritual and personal development purposes only. They are not psychotherapy, crisis counseling, medical treatment, or a replacement for licensed mental health care.

So what’s Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that supports the mind, body, and spirit through gentle, intentional energy work. Originating in Japan, Reiki works with the body’s natural life force energy to promote balance, reduce stress, and encourage deep relaxation.

During a session, the practitioner channels energy through light touch or hands placed just above the body. This process helps to release energetic blockages, calm the nervous system, and support emotional and physical healing. Many people describe sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep peace, and leave feeling more centered and grounded.

Reiki can be a powerful complement to talk therapy and other forms of treatment, especially for those who are navigating trauma, anxiety, or periods of transition. It offers a space to tune inward, connect with your body, and align with your inner wisdom.

You don’t need any prior experience or belief system to benefit from Reiki—just an openness to receive and explore.

For Reiki to be provided live, distance, or in the future, energetic consent is integral to the process. Please note that Reiki will not be provided unless energetic consent has been explicitly given.

Trauma-informed care is an incredibly important aspect of Reiki, so the discussion of whether people wish for hands-on support will be asked at the beginning of the session, with people being able to choose what their preferences are.

How’d I Get Into It?

I first heard about Reiki on TikTok on one of my mindless scrolling adventures. I thought it sounded cool, interesting, and something I could totally get into. Once an opportunity came along, I took it!

It felt like coming home, as if this was exactly what I had been needing in my life but didn’t have the words for it.  It helped deepen my understanding of myself and open my eyes to a version of myself I hadn’t yet met. This was one of the few practices I took seriously and worked diligently to integrate into my daily life. Reiki, for me, provides an immense sense of peace and nourishment. I’ve been able to acknowledge and work on my psychic abilities, build rapport with my phenomenal and blessed spirit team (sassy, protective, and profoundly empowering), and have the privilege of helping others. I truly cannot comprehend my life without Reiki.

Reiki, for me, is a sacred practice where I’m granted access to witnessing people’s souls, healing, and growth. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to support people in this way, and hopefully I’ll be able to support you too.

I provide Reiki sessions for individuals throughout Western New York, including Buffalo and the surrounding communities. My practice focuses on helping clients reduce stress, reconnect with themselves, and support emotional well-being.

Types of Reiki Offered in Western New York

  • Live Reiki

    Live Reiki can be provided both in person and via distance over Zoom. The session will last for around 50 minutes. I’ve found that people benefit from discussing their experiences afterwards; however, this is not a requirement of the session. There is an option for me to send you a voice memo detailing what occurred in the session as well. I also like to pull a Tarot/Oracle card before the session starts, which can be shared or bypassed altogether. Reiki can also simply be received with no additional discussion.

    Sessions are $125 – if in-person payment can be provided on the day of the appointment, otherwise payment will be expected at booking.

  • Asynchronous Reiki

    Asynchronous Reiki means that we don’t have to be in the same room, time zone, or have it be on the same day.

    Don’t have time to book a live Reiki session?

    No problem, Reiki can be sent via distance without you having to reserve time for it, and the best part is that you get to go about your day! You can even have Reiki sent to a future version of you regarding a particular topic or event. Asynchronous sessions are conducted with me setting aside intentional time set aside to send Reiki remotely. Included in this service is an optional Tarot/Oracle Card pull and a voice memo detailing what was observed and experienced during the session. Please know that if you don’t want the Tarot/Oracle card pull, that’s totally okay, just let me know when filling out your information.

    Asynchronous Reiki sessions are for 30 minutes and start at $60. Please note one intention per appointment.

  • Psychic Readings

    Have you ever felt like the universe was trying to send you 1980938 signs and lessons, and you had no idea what they meant? AND TikTok and Instagram were just making things more confusing with all the potential symbols and interpretations? 

    That’s where I can come in and provide some clarity for you.

    Life doesn't always come with clear answers. Sometimes we find ourselves standing at a crossroads, questioning *gestures wildly* everything.

    Through the usage of Oracle Cards, Reiki, and my intuitive gifts, I help you gain clarity, insight, and a fresh perspective on the situations that matter most to you. My readings are designed to empower you, helping you reconnect with your own inner wisdom while exploring the energies and possibilities surrounding your path.

    *** Please note *** I cannot guarantee the connection, whether or not your guides come through, or whether you will receive the answer you are looking for. Sometimes the Universe and Spirit talk in riddles and only provide a small piece of the puzzle that we are looking for. Other times, the message that comes through is not what you want to hear at all.

     If I cannot connect at all, then I will offer a full refund or reschedule for another time.

    **Note that this is for entertainment purposes and should not take away from consulting a medical professional, lawyer, or any other professional in a specialized field. This is merely to be used in conjunction with other services and supports. 

    Psychic Readings are $125
