Hello, my name is Ingrid Berihuete, LMHC-D, NCC (certified). I am a bilingual licensed mental health counselor. I have years of experience in mental health therapy and social services.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.
Whatever brought you here, whether it is navigating a chronic condition, supporting a child who learns differently, or simply feeling stuck, you deserve care that meets you where you are. I am Sara, a Licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist with 17 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors across New York. My approach is warm and creative, and I focus on goals that are realistic and truly attainable. I would love to help you take that next step.
I am a LCSW with 11 years of experience working with adults, children and families. I completed my graduate coursework at Rutgers University. I currently live in NYC with my family and therapy dog Thor :)
Life can be complicated at times, and change can feel overwhelming—leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated, or discouraged. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to support and guide you as we work toward creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. Together, we will explore negative thoughts and behaviors to identify what may be holding you back. I believe the answers are already within you—together, we’ll work to uncover them and develop practical ways to help you move forward with greater clarity, purpose and confidence.
I view clients as collaborative in their treatment. I will not play a passive role as a clinician, but I acknowledge that clients have expertise in their own right. I know that for many people, it is difficult to start therapy. I hope I can provide a non-judgmental space so that people feel comfortable opening up.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating-but you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to walk alongside you as we explore your experiences, your story, and the ways they've shaped who you are. This process can be challenging at times, but I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and safe enough to show up as your true self.
As an Asian American therapist and having grown up navigating two different cultures, I value the role that culture and identity play in shaping our experiences, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and aim to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story. I'm here to help you in making sense of your experiences, deepening your self-understanding, and navigating challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Building a therapeuti relationship based on trust, respect, and authenticity is the core of my work-and I'm committed to showing up for you.

I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, life transitions, school or work stress, and relationship challenges. I also work with parents who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure how to cope during difficult stages of parenting.
Additionally, I support individuals transitioning from hospitalizations who are motivated to improve their quality of life and build stability within the community.
I am a collaborative and interactive therapist that utilizes a variety of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, EFT, and solution-focused techniques based on the individual client, their wants, needs and goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–R (LCSW-R) with over 20 years of experience in the social work field. Since becoming licensed as an LMSW in 2005 and advancing to LCSW-R, I have developed a diverse clinical background working with individuals across the lifespan in settings including inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, skilled nursing facilities, schools, and outpatient mental health.
My varied experience has allowed me to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and difficulties adjusting to change. My graduate training included a specialization in health, providing me with additional insight into the connection between physical and emotional well-being.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is individualized, helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build upon their strengths.
I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful change and moving toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.
