In addition to being a LMHC in the state of NY, I'm also just a human gal navigating life alongside 2 doodles and a cat; creating and interacting with nature plays an important role in my life, but before you think I'm just a calm collected artist haunting the woods mysteriously, I'm also known for sitting on a comfy chair for way too long, re-watching the same shows from the early 2000s, and collecting copious amounts of craft and art supplies that I swear I will use someday.
I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.
My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.
I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.
My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.
If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I focus on creating a supportive and thoughtful space where you can feel empowered to grow. I have 4 years of experience working with diverse populations and a wide variety of diagnoses. I earned my Master of Social Work Degree from NYU Silver School of Social Work. Most of my work focuses on supporting adults through various life challenges, including relationships, anxiety, depression, and executive functioning.
Our sessions will begin at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I specialize in an integrative, holistic approach to depression, anxiety, trauma, and coping with life challenges. My therapeutic approach blends humanistic, mindfulness, somatic work, deep spiritual inquiry, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, tailored to each client’s unique experiences.
Hi, I'm Mel Joy, a healer with 25+ years of experience witnessing how resilient people can be. We all experience ebbs & flows of transitions and struggles, while constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy, and I'm humbled and honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group therapy. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. No matter how different we may be, one thing we all share is the capacity for joy & pain, and everything in between.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life's challenges. My work is rooted in creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves.
I specialize in trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and helping individuals navigate the impact of difficult life experiences. In addition to my clinical training, my personal experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, healing, and the importance of meaningful connection.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and growth, I am committed to helping you build on your strengths and move toward a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling.
Hi, I am a Licensed, Board-Certified Therapist providing psychotherapy services to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns.
As a member of and advocate for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive, and inclusive care. I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (7P's) Couples Workshop Leader, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and build healthier relationships.
In addition to providing therapy, I offer professional clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) professionals, supporting their growth and development in clinical practice.
Believing you are the expert in your life my hope is to act as a beacon of light on a path that sometimes goes dark.


Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right ADHD therapist in Syracuse starts with identifying the type of care you need. Therapists who specialize in ADHD can help with building structure, managing time, and developing strategies for focus and organization. If you're also interested in medication management, a psychiatrist may be a good fit. Some people benefit from working with both a therapist and a psychiatrist at the same time.
With many licensed providers in the Syracuse area — including those serving nearby communities like Liverpool, Fayetteville, and East Syracuse — narrowing your options can take time. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach and whether they have experience with ADHD in adults, children, or both. A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider is the right match before you commit to a session.
Therapy in Syracuse can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. You can confirm whether your specific plan is accepted in the Syracuse area directly on Headway.
