Syracuse Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Douglas Goldschmidt

Rachelle PsyD.

Life is stressful! The American Psychological Association (2022) in their Stress in America survey found that three-quarters of adults (76%) said they have experienced health impacts due to stress in the prior month, including headache (38%), fatigue (35%), feeling nervous or anxious (34%), and/or feeling depressed or sad (33%). Together we can identify ways to reduce the stress in your life and develop ways to find more time to do the things that matter to you.

Holly Lehman

I am drawn to working with families, namely parents and their children, as well as individuals. My knowledge exists primarily in navigating issues of trauma, grief, conflict, identity, and development of self. Supporting individuals who have experienced trauma calls for examinations of power, control, narrative, and accountability. These are all topics that I aim to lean into in my role, coupled with managing anxiety and maintaining agency in the face of fear.

Dawn Garber

In my years of practice I have found a collaborative strengths-based approach promotes the best environment for therapeutic work, creative problem solving, and lasting change. I love to meet my clients where they are, help develop their readiness and equip them for their next steps. I offer guidance and encouragement as they build competency, comfort, and confidence in their new skills and life direction. To do this, I operate from a foundation of systemic thinking.

Molly Lizzio

I see people who have had recent loss and are battling through that first year, which can be endlessly exhausting and challenging. Traveling through a first year and hitting all those milestones of anniversaries, holidays that trigger the feeling of loss are so hard, it's understandable that people seek extra support in those times to get help navigating the ever changing landscape of grief. What I also see is people who have been living with grief for years but not actually healing. I can help

Michele Anson

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.

Khira Fryar

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.

Laura Brennan

I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in addiction, anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions and other behavioral health concerns. I am also an OASAS approved provider for Clinical Screening and Assessment Services for the Impaired Driving Offender.

Cortnie Valle

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, relationship/marital issues, grief, depression, communication issues and more. My goal is to support you through whatever you need and provide you with some lifelong tools for self-improvement and continuous growth.

Theressa Jenkins

My background and training have allowed me to work with individuals, couples, and families, with substance abuse, trauma, bullying, depression, family conflicts, anxiety, and mindfulness. Through my own healing, I have learned to trust the process and I would love to have this experience with you!

Kristina Ehmann

Our experiences demand a witness to what we have gone through. I am committed to creating a warm, safe, trusting, caring, and non-judgmental space. This will allow you to be heard but also to challenge you to think or act differently. The systemic and biopsychosocial approach that I utilize will help you to better understand the impact your emotions have on your body and how your thoughts and feelings shape your relationships.

Brianna Gomez

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

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

While relationships are complicated, we do our best and are often quite successful. However, there are other times that we have done all that we know to do and we are still stuck. While struggling is an essential part of personal and relationship growth, it does not make sense to continue to fight when there is help available. I am here to help you, your marriage, and your family.

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.
