Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pompano Beach, FL

Hi there! My name is Alessandra. I obtained a master of arts in art therapy and counseling in CT in 2021. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. My approach is client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. As a nontraditional art therapist, I incorporate creative interventions when they feel helpful, while also using talk therapy—there's no expectation that you have to make art to benefit from our work together.

I specialize in working with children and individuals who have experienced trauma, but I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds. I believe healing doesn't always have to be serious; therapy can include laughter, creativity, and moments of joy alongside processing life's challenges. Sometimes, what we need most is simply a safe space to share our inner world.

You'll also meet my two therapy dogs, who typically spend sessions napping nearby. Their calm presence has brought comfort to many clients and helps create a welcoming, relaxed environment.

I've spent over 21 years helping people navigate some of life's toughest situations — substance use, trauma, domestic violence, anger, and the kind of challenges that make it hard to see a way forward. I spent the last decade working in court-ordered programs with clients who didn't choose to be in therapy, and I got them to stay. First thing I tell every client: I am your advocate. I'm real, I'm relatable, and yes, I will make you laugh! I'm a seasoned Black woman from New York City, and my NYC energy definitely comes through. Clients describe me as someone who can break through that wall of resistance many people walk in with and I'm proud of that.

Feeling "stuck" is one of the most frustrating human experiences, but it’s often the starting point for meaningful change. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience.

This background has given me a deep, specialized understanding of resilience, trauma, and the unique pressures faced by high-performing individuals.

As a starter, I am a child of God, a mother of three, including a pair of twins, a wife, a sister, and a friend to and of many. I also hold a clinical Social Worker license (LCSW) in Florida. I earned my master’s degree in social work from Western Michigan University and my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Calvin University in Grand Rapids, MI. Additionally, I hold the master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) credential, showcasing her expertise in treating substance use disorders. I am a certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), demonstrating ability to address complex trauma among diverse populations. I also serve as a Qualified Supervisor (QS) for registered social work interns. I believe that we are change agents and capable of growth at any point in our lives. I have dedicated the last 15 years of my life to helping others flourish in their journey to psychological wellness. I am here now to continue that mission. If I may be of service to you and want to give it a try to see if we're a good fit for each other, please contact me.
