Evidence-based Mental Health with a Holistic and Spiritual Approach: Experience the Apricity Difference
The practitioners at Apricity Mind + Body are united by a calling to curate a compassionate community that fosters, supports and sustains lasting change.
Our Mission
With over 20 years of experience in the field, we’ve seen what works - and what doesn’t. Traditional, clinical methods often miss the mark, leaving individuals feeling unseen or stuck in a cycle of temporary fixes. Apricity is here to change that.
Our mission with Apricity is to combine research-backed clinical methods with the freedom and exploration offered in holistic and spiritual modalities in order to create personalized programs that serve the unique needs of every client.
At Apricity, you will have the freedom, guidance, and support to safely create connection, transformation, growth, and lasting change.
Our Community
Apricity Mind + Body Collective was founded, and is grounded in the belief that healing and growth flourish in community settings.
When you surround yourself with people who lift you up, encourage you, and walk alongside you, the path to getting better becomes a little lighter and a lot more meaningful. Here you’re never alone - your community is your greatest strength.
‘We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.’
-Brené Brown
Our Space
Sometimes, the Universe sends you a sign. Other times, it drops a beautifully unique mini-mansion right into your lap.
That’s exactly what happened with our place - a love-at-first-sight moment with the purple place on Prince Street. The energy here is undeniable: nurturing, encouraging, and powerful. We joke that it's the house that hugs you back. Though that's not much of a stretch!
Nestled in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts, our space is a true gem. Built in 1905 as the first administrative building for the University of Rochester, this 3,500-square-foot beauty now serves as our collective’s home. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming community room, a dedicated movement space, and thoughtfully designed suites for the many services we offer. The details? Breathtaking. Original wood and marble craftsmanship, cathedral-style stained glass, and a sun-drenched covered porch set the tone for something truly special.
And yes, there’s parking. Private, secure parking. Right here in the heart of the Neighborhood of the Arts, just steps from the Memorial Art Gallery and all the culture that surrounds it.
We’d love to show you around.

Our Name
Apricity (n.) ae-PRIS-i-tee
The warmth of the Sun in the Winter.
Derived from the Latin aprīcitās, meaning “warmed by the sun”, Apricity is an old English word that was teetering on the verge of obscurity.
Until now.
Aside from being one of English’s most melodic words - Go ahead, say it out loud, pausing at each syllable. Ahh-Pris-eh-tee. Doesn’t that feel good?
Apricity is that blue sky sunny day in the throes of winter. The day that you build up the courage to unbutton the top button of your winter coat, and stand with your face towards the bright sun. The relief that you feel as you absorb its glorious warmth.
It is the comfort we feel when we come in from the cold - and it’s the experience we want you to have every time you walk through our doors.
