ADHD Therapists in Syracuse, NY

For nine years I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is hard to describe, but it seems only to work amidst empathy, respect, and compassion, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a new two-volume book, published by Routledge, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology."

Do you find that the traditional model of therapy isn't for you? Whether this is a result from a medical condition, transportation limitations, childcare needs - no matter what the reason - Cornerstone provides a unique option for individuals throughout NYS that have barriers to their emotional needs being met in an office. Our unique mobile counseling model links you with a local counselor that comes right to your home, or through telehealth.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and School Social Work. I use a generalist practice approach, while incorporating solution focused therapy, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and spiritual therapy. I believe, at least for most people, a deep-seated sense of meaning and purpose in life, together with a sense of belonging, is of foundational importance to psychological well-being and wholeness.

I believe that the therapy process should support clients in their further investment in themselves, helping them grow into the person they desire to be or work towards accepting their current version of self. This therapy process applies to the various client systems I work with, which include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and family systems. I firmly believe that change occurs when we increase our understanding of self/relationships and the patterns/cycles that we could be stuck in; it is my role to cultivate an emotionally safe environment to allow for such exploration and restructuring.

You're stressed and exhausted, everything feels tense, wondering if you'll ever find the motivation to get things started or finish the list of projects!

What if we started from the belief that there's nothing inherently wrong with you? What if you could stop trying so dang hard to "fix" yourself, and instead lean into how to vibrantly be yourself? And what if you could start to feel your emotions, rather than be stuck in the trap of over-thinking? Traditional forms of psychotherapy start from a place of fixing what is "broken". In our work together, we'll instead focus on the internal, relational, and systemic factors that consistently block you from being your most authentic self. From there, we'll explore how you can improve your relationship with yourself and others.

I have been working with clients for over 15 years. I feel most comfortable addressing individual struggles from a strength based perspective.
