Suffolk Counseling Services works to educate individuals, empowering them to live their best lives, both mentally and emotionally. Alyson Ryan, founder of Suffolk Counseling Services, has over 15 years of experience as a social worker, advocating for people to actualize their full potential. Our faculty is filled with some of the most talented and skilled mental health providers in Suffolk County. With over 100 years of combined experience, the licensed therapists at Suffolk Counseling Services have worked to help people successfully alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.

Our staff genuinely believes everyone deserves to live a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life. We provide services to adults, children, families, and couples, helping them achieve their mental health goals. 

Suffolk Counseling Services is unlike any other counseling center on Long Island. Our mental health providers are down to earth, intelligent, and varied. This gives us the unique ability to ensure each of our clients is matched with the best provider for their specific needs

Common Misconceptions About Mental Health Counseling

One of the biggest misconceptions that holds people back from reaching out for counseling is the belief that only weak people ask for help. At Suffolk Counseling Services, we can tell you from experience that many of the strongest people are those dealing with depression, anxiety, and other mental health struggles. And with the helping hand our therapists provide, we can navigate you toward emotional wellness, enabling you to attain the happiness everyone deserves.

Other people shy away from counseling because they do not believe their lives are “bad enough” to warrant therapy. And while counseling can be beneficial for those suffering from intense anxiety and depression, it can also help people who are happy with many aspects of their lives but are not feeling fully satisfied or fulfilled.
