Hola me llamo Fanny, I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am passionate about helping people. Change is important and so is healing . I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. When experiences are dismissed, it can lead to self-doubt, shame, or emotional overwhelm. Together, we make sense of those experiences with compassion and context. I offer a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I especially work with high-functioning individuals managing anxiety, overthinking, or emotional heaviness, helping you reconnect, feel grounded, and move forward
I'm very experienced, dedicated, flexible in terms of days and hours, and able to be both supportive and appropriately challenging when needed. I especially enjoy working with couples and families as I can "hear" all parties and focus on helping each person speak their truth safely and also to listen. Professionally, I have an LCSW, authored or coauthored 4 books, 3 with HarperCollins and W. W. Norton. I've produced dozens of award-winning videos addressing addiction and relapse prevention widely used in treatment and corrections. I also have raised 3 children and served as both a foster- and adoptive- parent. Above all, I have integrity, a depth of experience, and good humor.
I read and subscribe to the idea that instead of a patient needing a clinician to offer treatment, a client seeks the assistance of a counselor as more of a confidential teammate for improving a bio-psycho-social aspect of her/his life.
I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1997 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, making a mid-life career change to help those struggling with a variety of issues--anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance and other addictions, recovery, grief and loss, family, relationship, life transitions and adjustment difficulties--anything negatively impacting one's daily functioning, happiness, quality of life.
I am a board- certified psychiatric nurse practitioner committed to compassionate, ethical, and individualized mental health care.
Reaching out for support is one of the bravest things you can do — and I'm honored to be part of your journey. I work with individuals living with anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. I believe every person carries their own resilience, and my role is to help you access it. My practice is built on trust, warmth, and a deep commitment to your growth. I show up for my clients with honesty and the genuine conviction that meaningful change is always within reach
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 know well that starting therapy can feel formidable and thoroughly overwhelming, and on occasion, the absolute hardest step of all is merely beginning. In spite of that, you are here, and you are actively setting out on your personal journey to heal and reconstruct. I warmly invite the opportunity to communicate with you and learn how I might best help you. My professional style is kind, deeply empathetic, and shared.
Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.











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 Yonkers starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and specialties. If you're looking for talk therapy to address anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship concerns, a licensed therapist or counselor (such as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) is a common starting point. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help. Many providers on Headway offer both.
Yonkers is home to a diverse range of neighborhoods — from Getty Square and Nodine Hill to Park Hill and the waterfront — and residents across the city have access to providers who offer virtual sessions, in-person appointments, or both. When evaluating a potential therapist, consider their experience with your specific concerns, their therapy approach, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's full bio can help you understand their style before you commit.
Therapy in the New York City metro area can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see an in-network provider. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Yonkers who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
