Therapists in Canastota, NY

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.

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.

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.

Would you like to experience more joy in your life and relationships? I can help you get unstuck, stop living from fear, learn how to trust again, regain or improve your self-esteem, and simply work on feeling better. I offer sessions in the more-than-human world, out in the fresh air, supported by nature in a private space and/or in the wonderful healing presence of horses. SpiritedScience® programs offer solace in the spirit(s) of nature and are especially appropriate for those who may not thrive in a conventional psychotherapy setting. I also offer virtual sessions for those who cannot or prefer not to travel to the farm.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive place to explore possibilities for change, growth, and healing in your life or in a relationship? Whether you're struggling to make sense of traumatic life experiences, navigating relationship, family, or parenting concerns, or simply want to improve your ability to prioritize and manage your own mental health and well-being, I'm here to help. Together, we will work to build a trusting and authentic relationship where you will feel validated, supported, and empowered as you work toward your counseling goals.

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

Everyone is unique and special in their own way, so why should therapy be any different? I've worked with a variety of cultures, ethnicities, diagnosis and age range and feel its most appropriate to tailor my approach to each individual. I have an eclectic array of theories and approaches that I utilize during my time with individuals and find that one thing holds true; having a judgement free safe space that focuses on the needs of the client is what works best.

I have experience spanning over thirty years and have worked with a wide variety of clients and famililes from diverse backgrounds and with a wide array of presenting issues. I have a passion for families and multigenerational issues as well as individual clients from such families.

I treat anxiety, depression, narcissism, couples, adults and more with science and care. I focus on comfort, precision and thoroughness to strengthen the dynamics and boundaries of life, event and issue strategies. Learn specific skills and understand how education, career, boundaries and justice combine to express themselves into human behavior and thought. All ages, experiences, education and careers, individual, marriage, family, career, sport, and court. Decades as a therapist, teacher, coach, and in investigation and research. Best performance outcomes in a diversity of settings and factors. CBT if desired. Private.

I am passionate about all things “relationship.” I believe that we are in relationship to everything, all the time. The problem is that no one teaches us how to DO relationships well. We have to learn what makes the patterns in our relationship heathy or harmful. Then we have to do the healthy things… moment after moment after moment to grow our relationships into something beautiful. I have spent many years researching and studying what makes relationships last, what makes them grow and what makes them end. I have developed strategies to help guide you and your partner to be able to grow to your highest relationship potential.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can weigh on you. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself can have some challenging and long-term consequences. What starts as suppressing your emotions ends up as ongoing depression and anxiety as you continually make choices to minimize conflict rather than truly meet your own needs. While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.
