Your Trusted Syracuse Therapist

We provide a wide range of therapy services, including individual counseling, couples therapy, family therapy, child therapy, and ADHD-focused support. Each session is customized to meet your unique needs, whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship stress. Our therapists are licensed clinical social workers serving Syracuse and surrounding Central New York communities like Liverpool, Fayetteville, and Camillus.

Yes, we proudly offer secure teletherapy sessions for individuals and families throughout New York State. Online counseling allows you to receive professional mental health support from the comfort of your home or office while maintaining the same privacy and care as in-person sessions. Whether you’re in Syracuse, Dewitt, or rural parts of Onondaga County, you can easily connect with one of our LCSWs through a simple, confidential video platform.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected, therapy can be a powerful tool for clarity and healing. Many people come to us not because they’re “broken,” but because they’re ready for growth and change. Our team at Alliance Counseling helps clients identify patterns, understand emotions, and develop practical tools for everyday challenges — all in a safe, supportive environment.

Your first session is focused on building comfort and understanding your goals for therapy. You’ll talk with your therapist about what brought you in, your background, and what you hope to achieve through counseling. We’ll work together to create a plan that feels realistic and supportive, so you can leave your first appointment with clarity about next steps.

Alliance Counseling is out-of-network with health insurance plans. We offer courtesy billing for out-of-network reimbursement if needed. Before your first appointment, our staff will provide you with our pricing structure and make sure you understand your costs upfront. Because we are an out-of-network provider, you have the right to be informed of a Good Faith Estimate for services.

Every person’s healing process is different, but most clients begin noticing positive shifts within a few sessions. Some choose short-term therapy for focused goals, while others benefit from ongoing sessions that deepen self-awareness and emotional resilience. At our Syracuse counseling practice, your therapist will help you find the right pace based on your needs and comfort level.

We work with children, teens, and adults across Central New York. Our child therapists specialize in play-based techniques to help younger clients express emotions safely. For teens and adults, we use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to support emotional growth at every life stage.

Our practice combines the professionalism of licensed LCSWs with the warmth and understanding of a community-based counseling center. We take time to know each client personally and use a holistic approach that integrates mental, emotional, and environmental factors. Clients appreciate our balance of empathy, evidence-based care, and genuine commitment to serving the Syracuse and Central New York community.
