Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New York covered by United Healthcare

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience across acute care, leadership, and education. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and complex mental health needs. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe in meeting people where they are and creating a safe space to be heard. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, supportive, and centered around your goals.

I believe in a collaborative approach between client and therapist. Together we can explore your strengths and challenges to identify meaningful goals and work towards improvement. You are an expert on yourself and your needs. I am here to listen, support you and give you tools to heal past traumas, strengthen interpersonal relationships and build resilience. As we explore your history and your aspirations, I will guide, teach and support you. We will examine patterns that no longer serve you so you can build a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment. I work at your pace so you feel heard and respected. Reach out and we can explore this work together. I am currently offering teletherapy.

Feel free to reach out through Headway or email me at [email protected]

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the masters degree from John Jay College of criminal justice in forensic mental health counseling . I have experience working with adolescents and adults in various settings including school, outpatient and inpatient clinics and programs. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges related to anxiety, substance use, and trauma. With extensive experience in trauma counseling, I understand the deep and lasting impact trauma can have, and I bring compassion and skill to guiding clients through recovery at their own pace.

Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!

Hello, I'm Alyssa :)

Are you finding yourself feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, or just not your true self lately? I would love to help support you, and create a safe, judgement free space for us to work together to identify and reach your goals.

I can assure you that I will meet you each session with respect, support, empathy, a little bit of humor, and maybe a guest appearance of one of my oversized lap dogs. I will meet you where you're at, and we will work as a team.

Many of us, at some point in life, experience overwhelming and unpleasant feelings, such as persistent sadness, anxiety, grief, anger, loneliness, or stress. These may be the result of trauma, problems in relationships, stress because of work or school, loss, major life changes, conflicts, or unconscious/conscious self-defeating beliefs. However, no matter what has happened to us, we all have an innate ability to grow, to process, and to change. That fact that you are in this platform looking for help is already a great first step towards your healing process. I would very much like to help.

In my practice I provide strength and solution focused psychotherapy from a faith-based perspective (i.e. Catholic/Christian). This therapeutic process helps to empower you to take personal responsibility, resolve life problems, encourages you to advance towards desired goals, and promote healthy self-esteem.

I have over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to teenagers, young adults, and older adults. The work that I do has helped people heal, improve their overall quality of life, improve spiritual growth, and their relationships.

I have been in the field for 16 years and truly love what I do. I enjoy getting to know someone for who they are and working through the challenges they are facing with the inner strengths they already possess.
