Family therapy and counseling in Syracuse, NY

I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master's degree from Pace University! With my experience in diverse environments from inpatient psych hospitals to intensive in-home programs, I bring a broad range of clinical skills and a flexible compassionate approach to supporting individuals with varying mental health needs.

Therapy is a safe space for you to explore and be heard. During our time together my role is to help foster a safe space and meet you where you feel your needs are. Together we can discuss the stressors which have you reaching out for therapy.

Hello! My name is Ahxia (ah-jah) Stanton, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at SUNY New Paltz.

I provide holistic psychotherapy with a focus on BIPOC/ WOC, Couples, and young adults. My experience entails providing direct counseling to those struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-image. I also work with couples dealing with infidelity, newlyweds, premarital and other attachment issues that may strain a relationship.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

I became a social worker because I believe people are more capable of change than they are often given credit for—they need the right support to get there.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals, families, and couples of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and mood disorders, ADHD, autism, and emotional dysregulation — but I'm always focused on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, because some of the most powerful change happens when the people around you understand you better, too.

I have 20 years experience and a compassionate heart. I am ready to walk beside you on your healing journey. Experienced treating veterans. I am honored to serve America's heroes! Individual therapy for adults only.

Dare to Flourish: Your Journey to Healing Starts Here

​Healing isn’t just about getting through the day; it’s about rediscovering the strength to grow into your most authentic self. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life’s most difficult transitions.

​Whether you are seeking individual, family, or couples therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process grief, strengthen relationships, and find your footing again. Together, we will work to move beyond just surviving—we will work so you can truly flourish.

As a bilingual clinician, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to expressing your deepest emotions or cultural nuances.

I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
