Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.1 mi away • Syracuse, NY


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

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.

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.
