Alyssa Ammerman

Hi! My name is Alyssa Ammerman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I received my Master of Social Work from the University at Buffalo in 2017 (GO BILLS!). I have had the opportunity to work, intern, and volunteer in a variety of behavioral health settings to include outpatient, critical incident debrief, residential, and vocational rehabilitation, which have led me to the opportunity to start my own practice. I have a special interest in working with first responders, parents, individuals with sleep disorders, chronic pain, and/or chronic illness, and those going through life changes. Beyond my clinical work, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT-B and firefighter, scuba diving, camping, attending concerts, and traveling.

I use an eclectic and person-centered approach to therapy. I have formal training in a variety of therapy modalities that I use at various times throughout the therapeutic relationship, with you as the guiding factor. I believe that each person’s experience is unique, and therapy should be a reflection of that.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe space to walk alongside you as you navigate the challenges that you are facing. I believe therapy is built upon trust, and I strive to continue to build positive rapport throughout the therapeutic relationship. I want to hear your story, and I prioritize moving at a pace that feels comfortable and safe for you. I utilize a strengths-based lens to create treatment goals that are unique to you. I feel it is incredibly important to meet you where you are, and tailor your therapy experience to meet your personal preferences, comfort level, and goals.
