Therapists in Washington Square, Syracuse, NY

I work with individuals, couples, and families to rebuild healthy connections with their inner self and loved ones. My work with young children allows me to create a safe emotional space for them, but also a space where the parents and I can work collaboratively. With my experience in relationship issues, infidelity, premarital and marital issues, I strive to help build the strength needed to plant the seeds of change. I take a patient and collaborative approach to create a space where individuals build effective communication skills, emotional intelligence, self care tips, and other skills that will allow them to reach their goals.

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.

You know something needs to change, but possibly don't know where to start. You have the motivation to evolve, but perhaps you need guidance and insight to heal past wounds and begin embracing who you truly are. Beginning your therapeutic journey can provoke a mixture of feelings- anxiety, excitement, relief, and many others. I am here to help you process these emotions at your own pace. When we are able to connect with our intuition and show true compassion to ourselves, we ignite a beautiful light within. It is my hope to assist you in discovering and nurturing all parts of the complex being you are.

Are you ready to explore family dynamics and learn how to obtain healthy relationships or learn to live in the moment and enjoy day by day? Learn how to use CBT to change the coping skills that most likely developed in your childhood and no longer work for you. Mindfulness can also help you learn to live in the moment with simple exercises you can do throughout the day. Our bodies hold onto trauma so connecting the body and brain are crucial for change. 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.

I see therapy as providing an emotionally safe place for clients to reflect on whatever they are experiencing, to feel understood, and to receive help identifying ways to feel more settled internally and more able to manage life problems assertively. I have worked for over 35 years with clients from all kinds of circumstances and with a wide range of relationship and mental health difficulties. Whether they are seeking brief or long-term therapy, alone or with a partner or family members, I welcome clients of all ages.

I hope to provide a safe, accepting, trusting and confidential atmosphere for those I work with so they can express themselves completely. Within this environment I would be honored to start a relationship with individuals that brings them to the next level they are striving for. Most emotional instability is caused from past trauma, loss and/or multi-systemic patterns/themes which continue to play out in our lives. I use a Family Systems Approach to psychotherapy combined with other interventions as needed. This approach permits individuals to grow from these experiences/patterns allowing their journey of self discovery to unfold.

Are you experiencing feelings of frustration and being overwhelmed by issues in your life? Are you feeling stuck and not sure what can be done? Perhaps there is some fear that things will never change. Situations that can fall under this are parenting, relationships, depression, and anxiety to name just a few.

Do you feel like your past is haunting you? Are you frequently anxious or upset? Do you avoid going certain places because you just don't feel safe? Scary and painful experiences often change people. I want you to know that it isn't your fault, you are not alone, and the damage is not irreparable. You can put the scary and painful parts of your past where they belong, in the past. You can feel better about yourself, have healthier relationships, and be more comfortable when venturing out into the world. There are treatments that have been proven to help. There is hope.

Hey there! To get right to it: I’m a warm, compassionate therapist who will walk alongside you as we work to create the most balanced version of yourself.

Life presents us with inevitable stressors and challenges in various forms. The view which we take in interpreting, finding meaning in, and coping with these experiences can be the difference between resiliency and suffering. Let's talk through it. The counseling process may shine a light on how to overcome or manage the stressor or challenge.

Intrusive thoughts we don’t want to have, over-analyzing, repetitive behaviors, skin-picking. These are all symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is natural, but can be hard to cope with — often getting in the way of things we want in our lives! My passion is to help others begin the journey of working through the anxiety, toward the life they want to have. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, OCD, and related illnesses such as BFRB’s.
