Down to earth and very open minded. I believe in complete transparency and accountability.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, school related challenges, and using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, tailored to each client’s unique needs. I received my training and graduate degree from Teachers College Columbia University.

Hey there! I'm an LCSW and psychotherapist with over 4 years of experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults and people living with depression, anxiety, and the impact of trauma. I create a space where your full self is welcome—your identity, culture, feelings, and questions.

I became a social worker because I believe people are more capable of change than they are often given credit for—they need the right support to get there.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with individuals, families, and couples of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and mood disorders, ADHD, autism, and emotional dysregulation — but I'm always focused on the whole person, not just the diagnosis. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, because some of the most powerful change happens when the people around you understand you better, too.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ecotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and healing. I also hold a systems and climate-aware perspective, working to support clients within the challenging times / systems we are experiencing. My clients include those who are navigating life transitions or experiencing challenging emotions, i.e. anxiety, depression, loss of purpose, grief, or identity confusion. I also see couples who may be struggling with conflict or communication challenges.

The past is a good place to visit but certainly not a place to stay

Hi, I am Susan. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatry, caring for adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I earned my BSN from Skidmore College, my MSN from Fairfield University, and I also completed training in Behavioral Sleep Medicine and adult sleep disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. Over the years, I have supported adults living with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD, and I have also worked closely with parents and caregivers of children and adult children with special needs.

Life is a journey and you will be hard-pressed to find a completely smooth path along the way. The hard truth is that life can be filled with difficulties. However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopting healthy coping mechanisms.

Life is filled with ebbs and flows of transitions and struggles. We are constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy, and I'm humbled & honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group counseling. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. We can also learn and gain from others' perspectives and connect with their support. One thing all humans universally experience is the capacity for joy and pain.

I am a dedicated Family / Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting my clients on their mental health journey. My approach is both warm and compassionate, creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in being direct and honest while maintaining a foundation of empathy and respect.

With a strong focus on holistic and personalized care, I work collaboratively with clients to develop effective treatment plans that address your unique needs, challenges, and goals. My strength lies in balancing a straightforward communication style with genuine empathy, ensuring you feel supported and motivated throughout your mental health journey.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or life transitions, I am here to help guide you toward wellness with kindness, clarity, and understanding.

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.
