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.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to alleviate symptoms and a psychodynamic approach to explore attachments and relationships. I am also licensed to use non-verbal forms of exploration such as art therapy and have an interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have been practicing for 10 years.

Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.


My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.


Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.


We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.

Ora Samuels

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I want clients to know that I’m warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative in my approach. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all style of therapy, so I try to meet each person where they are and adjust based on what they need in the moment.

I use both talk therapy and art therapy, and you don’t need any experience with art for it to be helpful. Sometimes words are enough, and other times it can be easier to express things through creative work, either way is okay.

My style is supportive but also practical. I like helping clients understand what they’re feeling, build coping skills they can actually use day-to-day, and gently work through patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you don’t feel judged, rushed, or pressured, just supported at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
