Paths To Recovery Mental Health Counseling

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day.

One of the most important parts of mental health care is being able to access support when you’re ready to ask for it.

At Paths to Recovery, we do not maintain a waiting list for therapy services. If we have a provider who is a good fit and has availability, we’ll work to get you connected. If we aren’t able to meet your needs, we don’t simply add your name to a list. We will connect you with our affiliate network to help you find appropriate support.

Therapy services are available for children, teens and adults, as well as couples and families.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for support, you don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable.

Learn more or contact Paths to Recovery: www.PTRCounseling.com

If you or someone you know is in immediate crisis or experiencing thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, call 911

Kelly Murphy is one of our most energetic and creative therapists! Griffin's Guardians is also one of our favorite local organizations to support.

Consider joining us at the GG Gala September 19th for an evening of giving back, community, and support⭐️

You can also find Kelly at our Baldwinsville office offering play therapy, sand tray therapy, and art therapy modalities to engage and heal🌸

One of the main reasons we moved to our "Forever Home" was so we could be a "home" to our GG families too! 🏡

We are beyond EXCITED to launch our Art Therapy program for those in treatment or survivors for ages 12-17 who treated at or are currently treating at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital for Pediatric Cancer. 🖌️🎨

I can't say ENOUGH amazing things about Kelly Murphy! She was a shining light in my children's lives, and has been to so many of our GG families! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👉Please email [email protected] if you think your child is interested in being part of this! Please write "Art Therapy" in the subject line of the email!🎗️

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a form of psychotherapy used to help people process traumatic or distressing experiences.

During EMDR, a therapist guides a client through parts of a memory while using bilateral stimulation, often through guided side-to-side eye movements.

EMDR is commonly used for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms and may also be used to address anxiety, phobias and other concerns.

We’re shining the spotlight on Carly Anzalone, LCSW this week!

Carly works with clients ages 13+, including teens, young adults and adults, and brings a down-to-earth approach to therapy that balances support and validation with being willing to challenge clients when needed.

Carly is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and frequently works with individuals experiencing trauma and PTSD. Her areas of focus also include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and communication concerns, life transitions, and working with LGBTQ+ clients.

For parents of teens, Carly also recognizes that therapy involves a balance: giving teens the privacy and space they need to build trust with their therapist, while helping parents understand how they can support their child’s progress outside of sessions.

Carly is currently accepting in-person and virtual clients.

School anxiety doesn’t always look like anxiety.

As the school year begins, anxiety in children and teens may show up as:

• Frequent stomachaches or headaches before school
• Trouble sleeping on school nights
• Irritability or emotional outbursts
• Repeatedly asking for reassurance
• Difficulty separating from a parent or caregiver
• Avoiding conversations about school
• Becoming unusually quiet or withdrawn
• Regularly asking to stay home

Nervousness before a new school year is common. When anxiety becomes persistent or begins interfering with school, sleep, relationships or daily life, it may be time to consider additional support.

Paths to Recovery provides therapy for children and teens experiencing anxiety, school-related stress and other mental health concerns.
