With a heart of compassion, I have worked in this field for over 25 years. It has been my honor to serve others by walking alongside them, to help them soar and reach their full potential.

I will provide that support, and help you maneuver through times of life’s reversals through the use of evidenced based counseling tools, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, and motivational interviewing, for adult populations. I am glad you have taken that step of courage to take charge of your life and move in a direction that will lead you to growth, and mental and emotional wellness.

Antoinette Bryce, Clinical Social Worker/LCSW Licensed in NY and NC Hello there! My name is Antoinette Bryce, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the mental health and human services field for 13 years. I am a graduate from the Fordham University and currently a lecturer within the Human Behavior field. My passion is “People” and helping them to get to the core of who they are. Starting out as a customer service agent many years ago I have learnt that the “customer is always right.” In keeping this approach, coupling it with a mental health and trauma focused lens, my modality of choice for intervention is from the Humanistic Paradigm- I will meet you where you are at…and then we both work from there. I also include in my practice short-term Solution Focused Intervention and CBT Therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, anxiety, work-related concerns including burn-out, parenting problems, religious/spiritual struggles, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, anger management and an extensive background in child welfare. I have also spent all my timeframe as a Human Behavior Specialist working in underserved communities, working closely with underserved clients-specifically members of the black and brown community. Trauma hinders our progress whether the exposure is miniscule, extensive or somewhere in-between. Unless we can identify and understand this impact one cannot start moving towards healing. Let’s start this journey together and explore through appropriate intervention that is designed to meet your needs, a way towards being whole again.

Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Corey McSweeney. I am from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live upstate. I am licensed clinical therapist (LCSW) in New York with 8 years of professional work experience. I currently work in private practice after previously working at a county mental health clinic. My time there was challenging but incredibly rewarding! Working for a community clinic offers many unique experiences that helped me grow as both a professional and as a person. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), but I am also certified in two other areas of treatment: - International Gaming Disorder Counselor (IGDC). Although a relatively new diagnosis, video gaming disorders have become prevalent with both children and adults. If you or someone you care about has any issues with video games then I would be happy to share more with you! - Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). Anxiety can be a complex issue, yet it is a common diagnosis that many, including myself, face. Whether this is the main issue or a symptom of something else, we will work together to face it! In addition to these areas, I have vast experience in helping clients with the following: - Generalized Stress/Anxiety - Social Anxiety - Depression - Panic Disorder - Anger Management - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) - Conflict Resolution - Self-Harm - Suicidal Thoughts/Behavior - Motivation - Self Esteem/Confidence - Relationship Issues - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - Bipolar Disorder - Phobias - Grief - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Borderline Personality Disorder Please note, while I do have experience with the following: - Eating Disorders - Alcohol/Substance Abuse - Medication Management - Psychotic Disorders - Military Trauma - Domestic Violence - Relationship/Marriage Counseling - Gambling Disorder - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Parenting Issues - Other Types of Personality Disorders I strongly encourage you to seek a therapist with a specialized treatment approach for these issues. It would be a great disservice if I attempted to help you without having the relevant experience, knowledge and training required. My approach to treatment is simple. First and foremost, I believe that having a rapport between us is the most important factor in the therapy process! Without it there is a higher likelihood of distrust, poor communication, and misunderstanding. Therapy can be a very difficult and uncomfortable experience for some. My ultimate goal is to make your time with me as comfortable, productive, rewarding, and even as fun as possible! You are the expert of your story! My role in this journey is to guide you and use my knowledge and expertise to help you achieve your goals. Always remember this: progress is not a straight line. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns, and detours along the way. You may, at times, feel like you are failing. However, the way I see it, if you are trying you are never failing. I very much look forward to working together!

She meshed her skills as a chaplain and her training as a therapist to enhance the service she provided to her clients. In 2009, Ms. Watler made the decision to embrace her calling and her career as a mental health counselor. She obtained her license from the State of Florida and returned to Lakeside Alternatives from 2009 to 2010 as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor wherein she found herself providing counseling, therapy and psychotherapy to juvenile clients and their families. In November 2010, Ms. Watler opened another chapter in her life in furtherance of her mission statement which is based on Isaiah 61:1-3.

Ms. Watler is truly able to provide her clients with “HOPE FOR TOMORROW” by ensuring that each client receives effective psychiatric treatment strengthened by faith, encouraged by hope and inspired by love. Carol provides clients with straight-forward counseling services that produce results through the use of the following components: Comprehensive: treatment focuses on all aspects of the individual’s life to achieve the stated goals. Counselors take a holistic approach and create treatment plans that address the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of an individual. Effective: results in months not years. While every client cannot be “cured” instantly, therapy will produce tangible results. Clients are motivated to continue to better themselves when they can see tangible evidence of progress. Being able to obtain that progress in a shorter time than most of the competition positions Hope for Tomorrow in a position for success.
