Cayuga Counseling Services

About Cayuga Counseling Services

Cayuga Counseling Services is a community-based outpatient mental health and substance use treatment program in Auburn, New York, serving children adults, and families throughout the Finger Lakes region.

Located in downtown Auburn, the clinic provides outpatient counseling, psychiatric care, dual diagnosis support and crisis intervention through both in-office and telehealth services.

The organization takes a family centered, trauma informed approach, I've found, that pairs evidence based therapies with practical community support.

Family Focused Behavioral Health and Counseling Programs

Treatment typically begins with an assessment through the clinic's walk-in open access hours, which include psychiatric open access on Mondays and therapy access midweek.

From there, clients are matched with the right level of outpatient care, including support for co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.

Clients can expect individual, group, couples and family therapy delivered through approaches such as CBT, DBT, EMDR and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.

I've found that this space focuses on specialty groups like the LGBTQ adults and teens with anger management, domestic violence, youth trauma and grief and family strengthening.
