Therapists in Canastota, NY

One thing that we all share as humanity is that we all experience emotional discomfort or pain, it is simply unavoidable. However, we can learn how to identify, tolerate, and manage uncomfortable emotions to help us better navigate challenging times. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, relationship problems, adjusting to a new life transition, or are simply on a journey towards learning more about yourself, my main goals are to promote healing by showing up as my authentic self and to create a nonjudgemental space that promotes self-compassion.

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.

I recognize the significant challenges and emotions children and young adults face in their daily lives. In sessions, we work on navigating stressors and changes experienced in their family, relationships, school, and self. I explore with my clients to find goals and supports that are most in line with their own priorities and perspectives. We work together on processing the impact of relationships and events, providing skills and validation to help manage their emotions and thoughts. My aim is to provide a reassuring space for clients to reflect on themselves and use their insights to adapt thoughts, behaviors, and communication.

I am the owner of Inner Lakes Therapy, a group practice of talented, diverse therapists with a range of specialties and identities, dedicated to providing therapy through a social justice lens. We have immediate openings. I specialize in providing compassionate and effective treatment of trauma, as well as untangling and diagnosing ADHD and autism for trauma survivors, women, and people from marginalized communities. I practice from a neurodiversity affirming lens and am neurodivergent myself. I offer affordable diagnostic evaluations (no waitlist), long-term trauma treatment, and 3 and 6 hour EMDR trauma treatment intensives.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

Finding the right therapist is important and seeking help is a courageous step. You want a person with experience, who you can trust and feel comfortable with. You hope to be met with respect and genuineness as you resolve concerns such as sadness, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or wanting to focus on self-improvement. I offer a therapeutic environment of respectful challenge, acceptance, curiosity, and joy. My approach to therapy is "integrative." This means that I utilize skills from several types of therapy to find the approach that is the best fit for your needs and your strengths.

Hello! I love working with individuals, couples, & families experiencing relationship conflict, climate distress, life changes, coping with death or loss, or problems of anxiety, stress, or fear. I especially invite people struggling with communication, boundaries, overwhelm, low self worth, or feeling disconnected & lost in life to reach out. I offer safe connection, reflection, and expression. I listen deeply, identify core issues, & support creative healing. Together, we focus on metabolizing unresolved feelings, allowing space for emerging awareness, restoring curiosity, developing perspective, & transforming understanding.

We don’t get to choose some things that happen to us as children, and we can grow up in environments that fall short of supporting the unique needs we might have had. If your story involves childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, bullying, family problems or other trauma, and you find yourself still impacted by these things as an adult, please reach out. I would love to help you move past the things that happened to you so that you can make room for all the wonderful possibilities life holds for you. You may not have had a choice then, but you have a choice now.
