LGBT therapists in Syracuse, NY

Welcome! I’m Roberta Giorgi, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional wellness through personalized, current evidence-based mental health care.

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a unique and deeply rooted perspective to patient care—combining clinical excellence with firsthand experience across hospital systems, addiction recovery, and community-based mental health. As a PMHNP-BC and past Advanced Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (Adv-CASAC), I specialize in helping clients overcome emotional and behavioral challenges.

My background includes currently delivering direct inpatient psychiatric care in hospital settings, managing acute mental health crises, and coordinating care for individuals with complex psychiatric and medical needs. I’ve worked extensively with: all Substance Use Disorders (Alcohol, Heroin, Benzodiazepines, Cocaine/Crack Cocaine, Ecstasy, Mushrooms, Methamphetamines, Cannabis/K2, Nicotine/Vape, etc.) and provide Medication-Assisted Treatment: Naltrexone, Suboxone, Sublocade, etc.

I specialize in tailoring psychotropic medications to treat psychological disorders including Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Anger Management, Impulse Control Disorder, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorder/Insomnia, Grief Therapy, Work/Stress Balance Support and Intergenerational Acculturation Trauma and tailoring Behavioral Interventions for children, teens, LGBTQ+, adults, couples and families.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

I have expertise in PTSD/trauma, disordered eating, and anxiety. Getting help is a brave step, but you don't have to do it alone! My practice is welcoming and inclusive no matter who you are. I work with my clients at their own pace to create a safe space to reach meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Whether you’re looking to work on self-esteem, heal body image, or recover from trauma, we'll work together to find the best approach for you.

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the State of New York. I graduated from Medaille University in 2023 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I’ve focused on continuing to learn and grow through my work in the field. My approach is client-centered and informed by evidence-based practices, with attention to each person’s unique experiences, identity, and goals. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, authentic, and collaborative.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner offering medication management. At this time I offer virtual sessions, with plans to add in‐person appointments in the near future. My approach is shaped by more than a decade of experience working in women's health as a nurse midwife. During that time, I realized how important it is to offer care that truly sees the whole person and honors their full experience. That background taught me how to sit with people in vulnerable moments, listen without rushing, and support them through real-life transitions with steadiness and compassion.

I was born and raised in both Texas and overseas via military father. I experienced the machismo of Texas along with the racism experienced by the mostly Latino/a population in Texas, and always wanted to find a career helping those who have been ostracized and "othered."

I am board certified with a masters degree in nursing from University of Texas, and as a licensed psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. I practice in the state of New York.

I enjoy assisting those with diagnoses of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, adhd, and schizophrenia, along with post-traumatic stress disorder, and the varied problems that arise from past trauma.

Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Kerrin Sendrowitz O’Connor, a licensed psychologist based in New York and Wisconsin. I specialize in helping adults work through interpersonal difficulties, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, sleep issues, and grief. I also have a special focus on supporting expecting parents, new parents, and individuals navigating the challenges of fertility and parenthood.

In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, cared for, and truly connected. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify patterns that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential, whether in their mental health or in achieving their broader life goals. While I bring my expertise as a psychologist to our work, I also believe that you are the expert of your own life. Together, we’ll explore your unique identity and experiences in order to make meaningful changes.
