Therapists in Canastota, NY

Have you struggled with self-esteem, social anxiety and communicating boundaries? Do you feel as though you are trapped in a constant cycle of executive dysfunction and feel as though you just can't keep up with life the way it seems others do? Do you feel that your mood is up and down and are exhausted by navigating life and relationships? If so, you are not alone. My approach to therapy is one that is person centered. Building the self concept and increasing awareness of needs can support in improving executive functioning, building and maintaining healthy relationships and finding a sense of meaning and belonging in your life.

Hello, my name is Dr. Brian Kelly (Ph.D.). I am a Licensed Psychologist in New York and Rhode Island. The most prominent component that comes to mind is rapport and therapeutic bond. If one cannot identify with their clinician, it can be quite difficult to open up and trust. Being vulnerable with your suffering and shortcomings is a difficult task but one worth undertaking. My focus is on assisting each individual with feeling accepted and supported while working to create change.

My name is Yuriana Uceta (call me Yuri). I speak both English and Spanish. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience. I am a Doctoral candidate for a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My private practice “YU Matter Psychotherapy, LLC” is located in Baldwinsville, offering Telehealth services. I treat depression, mood, anxiety and attachment disorders. Trauma, social anxiety/phobias, personality disorders, and addictions are key areas of competence; multicultural and couples counseling are special strengths. I can hold for you and/or your partner, a safe, supportive and uplifting, healing space.

Many of us were never helped to identify and experience our full range of emotions. When emotions are not understood and put into words they get discharged through action, usually in ways which are detrimental to our wellbeing. Depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction are some of the harmful ways these emotions get enacted. My goal is to create a relationship with the client in which these emotions can be explored and integrated, which results in greater freedom to meet life's challenges and enjoy life's gifts.

My job is to facilitate the process of change with individuals and families. I am experienced in helping people with problems in personal relationships and at work. Many of my clients are feeling stuck or unsure about something of importance. They may be struggling with parenting, addiction, or feelings of anxiety, irritability, and deep sadness. Often, the people I work with are associated with colleges and universities. My 20+ years of experience in higher education is a resource in my work as a therapist.

I will work with you to help reveal your true potential. We will uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life.

You want to live more freely, more wholly, more in touch with who you really are. You want to find your way to wholeness and freedom. You may be looking to share and explore things that have never felt safe to open up before. You may have tried and benefited from other kinds of therapy, and are interested now in treatment that is focused on real, embodied experience now, in the present, rather than endlessly re-telling the same stories. You may have realized how the past has affected you, and you would rather define yourself than being bound by it. You are ready above all to reclaim your own innate goodness, wholeness, and strength.

Have you walked through life with ongoing and persistent questions that are ruminating in your mind? Do you feel stuck or confused? Do you consistently have symptoms and problems associated with depression, anxiety and sleep? Have you been through traumatic events that have changed your life plans? Have you suffered in turmoil from chronic substance use and compulsions or impulsivity? Are you in existential crisis? Do you fall into the same patterns of behavior over and over again? If any of these things have happened to you you’ve come to the right place.

As an individual, I am honest, genuine, empathetic, intellectual, organized, and a strong communicator. As a therapist, I am authentic to my individual personality. I do my very best to meet my clients' needs and expectations. I find communication to be one of the most significant contributing factors to a successful therapeutic relationship. I therapeutically challenge my clients to process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences – especially when they seem most difficult.

If you are dealing with anxiety, poor body image, trust or intimacy issues, suicidal thoughts, mood swings, a complicated relationship with eating, and recent or past traumas, I want you to know that feeling grounded and connected is within reach. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families with these exact concerns for years. Your life's problems may seem impossible or difficult to overcome, and you may feel anxious about "explaining it all" to a therapist who is also a stranger. My goal is to lay those fears to rest.

I would like to first start with saying Congratulations to making the first step in prioritizing your mental health! It is a courageous decision to work on ourselves! Therapy can be the beginning of a life changing endeavor for many and it all begins with you. HI! My name is Erin and I, too, have made that same decision in my life to seek better understanding of myself as well as working through challenges that have gotten me “stuck” at times in my life. I share this because I feel it important for my patients to know that my own personal journey allows me to be empathetic and compassionate to patient’s needs and struggles.

Together, in a compassionate, safe, collaborative environment, we will create a positive path towards your well-being and success, whether you’re on a healing journey or looking to gain more achievements.

Are you feeling emotional, struggle to get to sleep, and lack the motivation to engage in activities you used to love? Over one out of five adults struggle with mental health symptoms and at least half of them do not receive support due to not having access to this type of help or believing they will never feel better. These symptoms often occur with life adjustments including loss of loved ones, loss of jobs, medical issues, and changing responsibilities at home, work, and school. When symptoms interfere with your quality of life, it’s time to get some support!

Do you ever feel as though the natural approach we take to overcoming stress or “symptoms” ends up with us spinning our wheels, trying to avoid thoughts or feelings? Maybe what we really need to practice is inviting them in and fully experiencing the present moment. I have dedicated my career to helping clients overcome what life throws at them. It can be rejuvenating to try something completely new, a complete 180 to the way we were taught to interact with our inner world

My primary therapeutic focus is to help teenagers and adults to develop a stronger sense of self and to develop the coping skills they will need to address issues of anxiety, self esteem and self worth. I use a non-judgmental, trauma informed and holistic approach to help clients develop their ability to self soothe, including using body/movement and grounding techniques. I focus on both personal autonomy and understanding ourselves in relationships, with the goal of moving out of stuck feelings and thoughts to embody a more curious stance of your experiences and the world around you.

I have experience working with adults, children, couples, families and groups and treating a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, ADHD, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, OCD, self injury, mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I often use mindfulness techniques, creative arts therapy, DBT and CBT to help clients find balance and joy.

I have worked extensively with individuals who struggle with alcoholism, addictions, co-occurring disorders, and recovery challenges, as well as with relationship and family issues.
