Override Hero Title

I grew up in a family deeply rooted in the human services field—both of my parents dedicated their careers to helping others. Their compassion and commitment had a big influence on me, and it’s what ultimately shaped my own path. Before becoming a counselor, I spent several years working in law enforcement, where I gained a deep appreciation for the resilience and complexity of people’s lives. That experience inspired me to return to school and focus on helping others in a different way.

Hi, I’m Arelys! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for people from all walks of life, across different ages, cultures, backgrounds, and circumstances. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach mental health care: with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that there is always more to a person than what brings them into the room.

I work with adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and the challenges and transitions that life can bring.

I chose to specialize in mental health because I believe meaningful care begins with truly getting to know the person in front of me. Your symptoms matter, but so do the experiences, relationships, stressors, strengths, and circumstances that shape them. I want our time together to be a space where you feel comfortable being honest, where your concerns are heard, and where you never feel like you have to fit into a one-size-fits-all approach.

My goal is to build a genuine, collaborative relationship and create a treatment plan that makes sense for you—one that supports not only symptom improvement, but your ability to feel more like yourself and move forward with confidence.

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.

You've been carrying a lot — and you've probably been doing it alone for longer than

you'd like to admit. Maybe it's anxiety that follows you into every room, grief that

never fully lifted, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or trauma that keeps finding its

way back. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to untangle it by yourself.

I'm Rita Sionova, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience

working with adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I specialize in

trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and the kind of life

transitions that reshape everything you thought you knew about yourself. My

background spans healthcare, legal, and educational settings — which means I

understand the full weight of the real-world pressures, not just the clinical picture.

I offer therapy in both English and Russian, and I provide culturally responsive

care for clients navigating immigrant experiences, generational patterns, and the

particular challenges that come with living between two worlds. All sessions are via

tele-health, available to clients across New York State.
