Getting to know Dr. Jessica Alpizar
Shame and guilt bogging you down? Dealing with the pain of losing a loved one? Grieving a break-up? Struggling with self-blame and criticism? Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and have lost some of your interest in things that once made you feel alive? Or maybe you're feeling stuck and searching for more purpose in life? I offer a safe space to process these feelings-a space where you can feel validated and understood, yet held accountable to begin making meaningful changes. With a PsyD in Clinical Health Psychology from Albizu University, I am equipped to support you through these challenges with empathy and expertise.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) Clinical Health Psychologist. As a Health Psychologist, I examine how biological, social, and psychological factors influence your overall well-being. In other words, I consider you as a whole. I place significant emphasis on showing humanity in the therapeutic space - doing away with the traditional, "colder" approach to therapy. I believe it is increasingly difficult to find a therapist you align with. For this reason, I consider the therapeutic rapport with patients as an essential part of a healthy therapist-patient relationship. This rapport contributes to a client's feelings of safety and overall respect. With good therapeutic rapport, a client feels their therapist "has their back" in a way that allows them to overcome difficult-to-face problems.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Dr. Alpizar was so kind and real. It’s hard to come across someone who still keeps the humanity in the therapeutic process. I’ve been in therapy for years, and I immediately felt at ease and safe with her. Would recommend!!

I needed someone who could understand that I was a little jaded by the therapy experience as a 36 year old depression veteran ?? Jessica called prior to my scheduled visit to give me an idea of her approach, to let me feel her out a bit, and to answer any questions I might have before confirming I’d like to meet with her. I have terrible anxiety, so I didn’t even want to call back, but I’m glad I did. Jessica is obviously a very tender and compassionate person, but her experience seems to have given her a well-rounded nature that allows her to interact with clients on a very personal level. I needed the person I spoke to to know that I respond to some grit and tenacity; I don’t respond well to coddling through the healing process, and although she agreed that she could be that person for me, there were moments in our session where I felt her sort of let up on taking me through raw emotion to offer compassion and a need to be patient with myself. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Alpizar was excellent! I was very nervous in my initial session but she made me feel at ease instantly. She is very easy to talk to. I have learned so much from just a couple of sessions. I highly recommend her services.

I had been looking for a psychologist for my daughter for a while. We had trouble finding someone compatible, but she and Dr. Alpizar clicked right away.
We had heard varying diagnosis from other doctors, but Dr. Alpizar was able to get us clearer answers and find an appropriate treatment for my daughter.
We are very happy with the care she has provided.

Dr. Alpizar was able to see me shortly after I made the appointment which was wonderful because I’d been searching for a clinician who would be a good fit. She was knowledgeable, caring, and funny! I also felt comfortable opening up with her where I haven’t been in the past.
