I bring my strong passion and devotion to every therapy session. My wide variety of experiences across disciplines and populations has helped me to develop a well-rounded clinical approach to treatment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and populations including, but not limited to: Autism, life transitions, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, trauma, crisis management, as well as men’s and women’s issues.
I am here to provide a comforting empathic space in which we can work together towards making the changes in your life that you wish to see. I received my Master’s degree at the Columbia University School of Social Work, and am currently pursuing advanced post graduate training in psychoanalysis, at The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy.
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 enjoy helping people. Working in diverse settings and with diverse populations has added to my experience. I believe every day is a gift that brings opportunities to heal, grow and learn together. Healing is a beautiful journey we will take together. I am also focused on Christian counseling and incorporating clinical skills that support your journey.
Hi, I’m Salvatore, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. Finding the right psychiatric care can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been trying to hold everything together on your own. I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling anxious, depressed, unfocused, emotionally drained, or stuck in major life stressors. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make medication and treatment decisions together at a pace that feels right for you.
I am a License Clinical Social Worker with four years of experience working with diverse populations. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and adjustment-related challenges.
Hi, I am Malak Alsaidi, a licensed clinical therapist in New York. I provide warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental space where clients can feel comfortable exploring life's challenges and working towards their goals. My experience includes helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and relationship concerns and life transitions. I believe in collaborative approach that builds on each person's strength and helps create meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.


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 New York starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in New York include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
New York has one of the largest concentrations of mental health providers in the country, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, their location relative to your neighborhood or commute, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and approach so you feel more confident going in.
Therapy in New York can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see which providers are covered and get an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.
