I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.

At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

Meghan Zeruk

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I believe that most people already have a deep understanding of themselves and what they need, it can just be difficult to access that understanding when we’re overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve us.


As a systems therapist, I look beyond the individual to understand the relationships, experiences, and environments that shape how we think, feel, and respond. I’m particularly interested in helping people understand interpersonal conflict and the patterns that develop between us, whether with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague.

Before booking, we recommend reviewing our full services and provider availability on our website: www.moovidapsychiatry.com/consultation

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Syracuse

Searching for therapists in Syracuse starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look at their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with concerns like yours. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their approach, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another method.

In a smaller city like Syracuse, local in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, office location, and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still keeping care connected to your preferences. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers evening sessions, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may look like and decide who fits your needs, schedule, and communication style.

Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
