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

My name is Miriam. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Wilkes University. I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse and an advanced practice nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy and medication management.

I believe that every person has a story, and that the experiences we have lived through have shaped us in meaningful ways. My role is not to define your story, but to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, your experiences, and the patterns that have developed throughout your life.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and challenges related to self-understanding and emotional regulation. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where all emotions are welcome. I believe there is nothing you cannot bring into the therapy room: your thoughts, feelings, fears, struggles, and experiences deserve to be heard and understood.

I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and respect for your individuality. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to support you in discovering your strengths, increasing self-awareness, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working in a variety of settings. My background includes outpatient counseling for adults, forensic mental health, and in-home therapy for children and teens facing significant behavioral and emotional challenges. As a Christian, my personal values emphasize compassion, integrity and respect for ALL people regardless of your beliefs. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Nice to meet you!

Hi! My name is Jamie, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who graduated from Columbia’s School of Social Work and I am looking to support you in being your fullest and truest self. My clients would describe me as warm, affirming, fun, and passionate. I never claim to be the expert in your life, but if you allow me the privilege of being let in, I promise to help you reach for the goals that seem hard to accomplish alone.

As a therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, and a nonjudgmental presence to every session. I believe healing begins in a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.

Passion has brought me to this field, and I would like to be there for people in ways I wish people are there for me, by creating a safe, nurturing, empowering, and growing environment for my patients to explore and heal within the depths of their hearts. I have extensive experience in the inpatient setting from having helped patients with diverse presentations, while integrating multiple modalities into my treatment and having knowledge of the appropriate medications needed from having worked closely with psychiatrists. I have completed my MS degree from the State University of New York. I also have a postgraduate diploma in Islamic Psychology from Cambridge Muslim College.

I have 25 yrs of experience in a variety of settings including emergency rooms, medical units, long-term care facilities & inpatient mental health units. I have provided hands-on case management, crisis intervention, discharge planning and end-of-life support as well as lead teams in those settings. My goal is to identify client's challenges that cause pain, sadness, frustration, anger and even confusion and help them move forward in living their lives to their fullest potential.
