I am a licensed creative arts therapist offering both art therapy and traditional talk therapy. I work with adults navigating a range of experiences—from everyday life stressors to deeper emotional challenges and trauma. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs, integrating creative expression with verbal processing to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and foster meaningful change.
This is my first career; it has always been my dream to help people. I never envisioned doing anything else in life. I’ve worked in a myriad of settings, ranging from satellite clinics based on early educational settings to social adult daycares (and everything else in between, including hospitals and intensive day treatment). I have completed training to be able to work in these settings, including courses on TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, and mental health first aid.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about walking alongside individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or impacted by past experiences. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported, I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions, and I believe healing looks different for everyone. I value connection, collaboration, and honoring each client's unique story, strengths, and personal values.
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, and life transitions. I have experience at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) supporting medically complex children and adolescents, which has shaped my compassionate and collaborative approach to care. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience providing trauma-focused therapy to individuals . My work includes supporting adults, adolescents, and children as they navigate the effects of trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other complex emotional experiences.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of presenting at numerous national conferences on topics ranging from dissociative disorders to human sex trafficking. These experiences have deepened my commitment to understanding the nuanced and layered ways trauma can shape a person’s sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being.
Hello I am Jenn, I have a graduate degree from The College of St Rose in Albany, and NYS licensed Master CASAC. I am most proud of the well seasoned life experience that comes with being a Gen X.
Clients can expect authenticity, an open mind, and an understanding space to explore traumatic and challenging belief systems (that no longer work), emotional dysregulation, coping skills, communication skills (boundary setting, healthy communication, self care), and future focused guidance and support.
Clients will improve social, relational and professional interactions. Clients are free to express themselves mindfully and reflect intentionally about challenging behavior and racing thoughts. I will always provide compassionate non-judgmental, and ethical care.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am passionate about helping individuals create
meaningful change in their lives through a collaborative, supportive, and empowering therapeutic process.
I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or
feeling stuck.
Rather than focusing only on problems, I work with clients to uncover their strengths, develop practical
skills, and reconnect with their values. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, daily stress, or seeking
personal growth, therapy can be a space for insight, healing, and real change.
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and bring both clinical training and
deep compassion into every session.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Elmira, NY starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Many providers in the area specialize in common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship challenges. Consider whether you'd prefer individual, couples, or family sessions — and whether you want to meet in person or connect virtually. Virtual sessions can also expand your options beyond Elmira to include licensed providers across New York State.
Choosing a licensed provider is an important step. Look for credentials like LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or psychologist (PhD or PsyD), which indicate that a provider has completed supervised clinical training and meets New York State licensing requirements. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and whether they may be a good match before you commit to a first session.
Therapy in Elmira can be more affordable than you might expect when you use your insurance benefits. Seeing an in-network provider is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book.
