I'm a licensed mental health clinician with over two decades of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand that clinical expertise alone isn't what creates real change — it's the combination of evidence-based care and genuine compassion that moves the needle. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I approach every client as an individual whose needs, history, and goals shape the way we work together. My commitment is to provide care that is both rigorous and deeply human.
Hi! I'm Dr. Heather Blondin. I completed my DO degree at Touro University Nevada and my Psychiatry residency at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. I am board-certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. While everyone is welcome, I particularly enjoy working with women, college students, healthcare professionals, and those navigating life transitions.
Please note: I cannot prescribe controlled substances for patients located outside of Nevada.
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.

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.
