Aly Gemma

Aly is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City. She earned her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, where she received training in evidence-based, culturally responsive care.

Aly has worked in both school-based and community mental health settings, supporting adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her experience across these settings has given her a strong understanding of how life pressures, family dynamics, social relationships, and cultural influences impact emotional wellbeing.

She is especially passionate about helping teens and emerging adults navigate the often confusing and overwhelming transitions of growing up—whether that means starting high school or college, entering the workforce, building independence, or figuring out who they are and what they want.

Aly's approach is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in evidence-based practices that empower early adults to build resilience, find clarity, and feel more at home in their own lives. She uses an integrative approach that is based on psychodynamic, relational, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Treatment plans are designed for each client based on their individual needs and goals.

She has experience supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, substance use, relationship issues, and the transition from high school to college.

Aly will provide you with a supportive, collaborative environment where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are taken seriously. Aly believes that therapy is most effective when it’s a partnership — we’ll work together to identify your goals, explore challenges, and build on your strengths. Sessions are guided by your needs and paced in a way that feels right for you.
