Syracuse Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Douglas Goldschmidt

Kirsten Lesch

Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life.

Rhea Parks

I have experience working with people experiencing anxiety. Through identifying triggers and past experiences that highlight these anxious feelings I have been able to help individuals retrain the brain, while expanding upon effective coping mechanisms.

Karin Earle

The relationships we create with others are not linear, nor are they stagnant; relationships are continually changing and transforming. These relationships play a major role in our journey through life. We define ourselves by our relationships (parent, child, sibling, partner), impacting our mental and emotional health. I believe communication is at the heart of every relationship; therapy helps provide tools for better communication.

Tracy Robinson

Life can be a challenging process. You don't have to tackle life's problems alone. Sometimes we need some extra help to be the best version of ourselves. The process begins by identifying barriers that are blocking us from achieving our desired goals. Life is an ongoing journey. Therapy can increase our self-awareness and improve our overall health and well-being. I welcome you - with open arms - to begin the therapeutic process and begin to look at those obstacles in life.

Theressa McMorris

Anxiety can show itself in ways that I am trained to notice. I can approach your emotions and expressions of them with mindfulness and compassion.

Molly Lizzio

You're here! Congrats on making it this far! Most people I know think about going to therapy for months- sometimes years before they do this internet search. The next step is sending that e-mail, but don't worry you'll get there- take your time. Typically the people I work with are at a point where they are feeling really stuck, and just want to be happy. The couples who come all have a common trend that they need help with communication.

Brianna Gomez

Our approach allows us to work with individuals, couples, and families to collaborate and find the strength that already lies within them.

Michelle Stevenson

The majority of my clients are college students or young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or having some difficulty adjusting to transitions in their lives. My goal is to provide support, offer a different perspective, and arm individuals with the tools to manage life's challenges more effectively.

Clare Campbell

I help adults with adjustment to life transitions, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and chronic pain/illness. My approach to therapy is client-centered and integrative, adapting to the individual needs of each client within the context of a safe and responsive therapeutic relationship. I strive to meet each client with understanding and acceptance, while also challenging them to work toward a healthier, more authentic version of themselves.

Khira Fryar

Have you been struggling to find happiness? Maybe you’re always feeling like the shoe is going to drop or that you’re not good enough for the good things that happen in life. You’re not alone even though it might feel like it. If you’re here, you’ve done the hardest part: decided to look for help. THAT deserves to be celebrated and I can’t wait to celebrate with you all of your victories and journey with you on your road to healing and emotional well-being.

Lena DeLeo

Do you find yourself quick to anger or panic, sometimes with seemingly no reason? Are you telling yourself you’re not good enough or judging yourself for not dealing with stress more effectively? Are you processing a traumatic experience, or grieving a loss? Art therapy provides a non-verbal outlet for big emotions which can help provide clarity and insight, new perspectives, and a better understanding of different ways to cope.

Katie Arney-Rattray

I truly enjoy working with and providing psychotherapy to individuals and families. I specialize in treating teens and adults who may be struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief/Loss, Substance Use, and Relationships issues. I also specialize in supporting children living in out of home placements, foster care, adoption, residential, or kinship care.

Alicia Murray

Anxiety is all around us. We may feel it sporadically, or we may feel it all day, everyday. Anxiety was initially our body's way of warning us of danger, but are we running ourselves ragged convincing ourselves that danger is all around us? Anxiety is not a comfortable feeling to sit with day in and day out. I work with individuals to find the root causes of their anxiety and develop coping skills to reduce the uncomfortable distress that anxiety can often lead to.

Cassandra Fearing

You're up late again thinking about what you said. How could you do something like that? Again?? You feel the overwhelming anxiety take over your body: the heavy breathing, the chest pains, an unbearable need to escape. Once the attack is over, you're exhausted. You're tired of being tired. It's affecting your relationships. But this doesn't have to be it. Therapy can help you develop skills and insights to help get out of this rut. I look forward to working with you and helping you find peace.
