Therapists in East Syracuse, NY

Hello! My name is Alison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, family conflict, and relationship issues. I combine several approaches for treatment including CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness, attachment-based, and strengths-based. I tailor my approach to each individual client based on their needs. I will provide a safe, trusting environment to empower you through your healing journey.

Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is dedicated to helping my clients develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves so they can feel less overwhelmed, connect to their inner resilience, and find clarity and deeper meaning in their lives. My clients often seek therapy when they feel anxious, depressed, burnt-out, or uncertain about how to move forward in their current life circumstances. They may be asking themselves “What now?” in the face of grief and loss, the management of a chronic illness, navigating a major life transition, or any time life is not going “as planned.”

I know that coming to therapy can be challenging and I am committed to creating a warm, empathic, and safe space for our time together. My priority is to meet you where you are in order to help you on your journey to a more authentic and fulfilling life and I will tailor the treatment to meet your individual needs and goals. I work in an integrative way, drawing on a variety of theories that will allow us to look at the root of your concerns. I also utilize mindfulness techniques and behavioral strategies to help you improve your coping and self-care skills.

I recognize the courage it takes to seek therapy where you can bring your truth, examine your readiness to make changes, and explore your hopes and wishes for your future. Moreover, it can feel challenging finding a therapist who feels like a good match to engage in this important work. I am interested in learning what brings you to therapy and where you may be feeling "stuck" in your life. I offer a warm, compassionate space for you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I strive to empower you to consider ways to live authentically, congruent with your values and goals.

No longer accepting new clients. Does anxiety have you overwhelmed & unable to perform tasks that once seemed simple & routine? Are you finding it difficult to stay in the present moment because of chronic worry, feelings of panic, or "what if" thinking? You are not alone! Since the 2020 pandemic, anxiety has increased by 25%. Multiple factors such as health fears, isolation, changes in work, high school, and college environments; daily access to news & social media, and financial stress have all have played a role with increasing anxiety. Fortunately, therapy can help!

Entering therapy can be an intimidating process. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where I partner with clients to help explore their emotions and challenges. We will build mindfulness based coping skills to manage stress/anxiety/depression, as well as to develop healthy boundaries and balance in life. I enjoy using holistic approaches based on each individuals strengths and interests in the therapeutic relationship.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative and experiential. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship through which you can share, express freely, and activate your deepest potential for transformation. I am devoted to the well-being of my clients and provide the best possible therapy to help facilitate insight and growth. Areas of expertise include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, family dynamic/attachment and relationship. I also offer services for clients working toward specific personal goals in the areas of, student/school, career/improved work-life, purpose and personal potential.

Life is not an easy road. New worries come with every stage and it can feel helpless to face those challenges on your own. I am dedicated to helping clients with anxiety, ADHD, depression, managing new changes and stress, and improving self-esteem. If you want to make a change, are motivated, and are ready to work, I'd love to be able to help. I hope to offer my clients a safe space to explore themselves in-depth without fear of judgment and work together to bring about lasting change.

The core of each of us is whole and perfect. This is the belief that underscores my work and life. Whatever part or parts of you feels stuck, broken, lost, confused, stressed or hopeless, I want you to know that there is hope, and you can have some clarity. In fact, healing has already begun just by you deciding to seek help. You are not alone, and I look forward to working with you.

Choosing to begin therapy is a wise and wonderful step in the direction of healing wounds and belief systems which may be holding you back. Together, we will collaborate to help you unearth your true self and discover the most beneficial strategies and skills for you to actively pursue and practice living the life you desire. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor experienced in working with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in relationships, life transitions, supporting business and helping professionals, trauma, anxiety, grief, sexuality, OCD, confidence building and spirituality.

Are you ready to explore family dynamics and have healthy relationships? Our childhood traumas can follow us into adult relationships making us feel like we have bad luck in relationships or that we pick the wrong friends or romantic partners. Being able to process those past traumas in a safe environment can allow us to set boundaries and pick up on warning signs of people who may not be good for us or possibly even dangerous. Teenagers who are at least 16 years of age are welcome if they are ready to explore family dynamics and are ready to prepare for healthy relationships.

Relationships are one of the most difficult experiences we bravely engage in as humans. Misunderstandings, inflexible thinking, our own limited ability to engage as well as others limited ability, and trauma, all affect the evolving dynamics of relating to one another. Oh man, it's hard stuff. But we also want and long to be in a relationship. How do we do this simultaneously, avoid and attach? Well, it is a delicate balance and a work of art. I can help you explore the dance of relationships with your partner, family, or children.
