Book a therapist or psychiatrist in East Syracuse, NY covered by Aetna

I’m Paige Allegra Blayne, a therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, eating disorders, or life transitions, I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals recovering from trauma, and those facing challenges related to body image, infertility, substance use, and women’s mental health. My practice is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to explore every part of yourself without judgment.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Hello and welcome to my practice.

My name is Mary Cahill and I am board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner.

At my practice I offer delivery of excellent psychiatric care using the most up to date evidence based research and clinical guidelines, while also providing you with a respectful, compassionate and non-judgemental space.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, consultations and ongoing medication management.

I have expertise in psychopharmacology, which is considered both an art and a science. And, as such, should be grounded in strong science and a deep understanding of psychopharmacology, but also be a considered and highly individualized process.

In 1997, I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of San Francisco, graduating summa cum laude.

In 2004, I received a Master of Science in Nursing from Columbia University where I trained as an adult and geriatric nurse practitioner.

In 2022 I received a post-masters certificate as a psychiatric nurse practitioner from NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing , where I also did a one year internship at Bellevue Hospital focusing on Inpatient Psychiatry.

I earned both my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work Degrees from Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. I am licensed in the state of New York. I am a dedicated professional with a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families.

My 18 years of experience in this field enables me to address a wide range of patient needs. I am committed to providing flexible, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population. From the time of the first appointment (and consistently thereafter), the patient and I will review their reasons for seeking care, discuss current challenges and stressors, and identify treatment goals. This information guides my formulation of an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and objectives.

[Please note]:

-This provider/practice is not currently accepting referrals for the treatment of ADHD/ADD.

-This provider/practice is only accepting new patients for medication management (or integrated medication management & psychotherapy) services at this time. Provider is unavailable for standalone psychotherapy services. Thank you.

I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
