Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Syracuse, NY

There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt. Working with a Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing has transformed my emotional well being by helping my brain and body recognize safety and reducing my sensitivity to unpleasant sensations and arousal. I now feel more in control, I welcome unpleasant bodily sensations when they show up, and feel more safe in my body.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and seen. I believe that mental health is often overlooked and a lower priority when it comes to health and I believe it is important to challenge that belief and bring attention to what is affecting us mentally and emotionally. Throughout my experience I have worked with a range of clients, from children to older adults, working with clients struggling with depression and anxiety to OCD and Bipolar Disorder. Everyone should have the opportunity to get the help they need and I hope that working together we will be able to identify and work towards building a life that is best for you!

My passion is working with people and helping them to be the best they can be. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24+ years of therapeutic experience. My experience started in Mental Health Clinics, but I have been working in private practice for over 15 years. I help people with a variety of concerns to include stress, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Hi, I’m Cindy and I want you to know this: you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying it all, therapy can be a space to exhale, reflect, and gently begin again.

I come to this work not only as a clinician but as a human being shaped by my own lived experience. I’m a proud Trinidadian-American who migrated to the U.S. at a young age, and I know what it’s like to navigate different worlds, expectations, and identities. That background helps me show up with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for the unique path each client walks.

I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University, and my clinical experience has focused on supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and issues related to identity and belonging. I have a special heart for clients who are used to being the strong ones, the caregivers, the first-gen trailblazers, the ones who hold space for everyone else.

In our work together, you can expect warmth, honesty, and collaboration. I use a relational and strengths-based approach, integrating tools from CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but more importantly, I meet you where you are, honoring your pace and your story.

This is your space to feel seen, to feel safe, and to explore what healing could look like for you. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.

I have been Board certified Advanced Practice Nurse for 6 years. I have about 1 year experiencing specializing in generalized anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have 4 years of experience as a telemedicine provider. I became a PMHNP because I take pride in helping other achieve a sense of joy in finding peace in their reality and creating healthy coping strategies.

I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

With over 20 years of experience in clinical care, education, and research, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatry support tailored to high performing adults seeking clarity, stability, and wellness. My goal is to provide you both empathic and evidence-based support that leads to sustaining improvement.

I’m deeply committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story. I’m here to support them in their journey, offering not just expertise, but also encouragement and a sense of partnership. My practice is all about empowering you to take charge of your life, equipping you with the tools and confidence to navigate whatever challenges come your way.

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.

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.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a constant state of survival mode? Overwhelmed by stress, emotionally drained, or just going through the motions of life? Reaching out for help takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. Taking the first steps toward therapy can feel overwhelming, I know, because I’ve been there too. My goal is to help you navigate this process by providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. I work primarily with young adults in their 20’s and 30’s who are navigating anxiety, trauma, family and relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their experiences, and the reasons behind their emotions.
