I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist and board-certified creative arts therapist helping people with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress at work or home. I am a big believer in the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. I provide emotional support and a safe environment and aim to work with empathy and warmth to help generate new perspectives, aim at a sense of wholeness, and restore balance and hope. I also encourage my clients to think deeply about their lives and to take actions to create the change they want to see.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Syracuse, NY
Finding OCD therapists in Syracuse starts with looking for the right training, not just a general therapy match. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination concerns, reassurance seeking, or repeated routines. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is an evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist profiles, look for OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their listed specialties and approach.
Syracuse is a smaller mental health care market, so local in-person options for specialized OCD care may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you stay within New York. When comparing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. A therapist who lists specific ERP training may offer a different level of specialty experience than one who lists OCD as one of many concerns they see. Review bios for details on approach, appointment availability, free phone consultations, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients.
Therapy in Syracuse can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who fit your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare OCD therapists in Syracuse, read profiles, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your preferences.
