“In the near 17 years of treatment for my mood disorder, Dr. A is one of the very BEST - all time, the BEST - therapists I have EVER seen. She is an incredibly kind person, professional, and she KNOWS HER STUFF!!!! She is also very accommodating, and she is super insightful in to the background of otherwise perplexing situations. Really, if the world even had ten more therapists EXACTLY like Dr. A - well, then the world would be a much better place!! But, as things are, there are only a mere 8.2 billion people in the world - and, in 17 years, I have yet to find or work with another therapist like Dr. A - so, effectively, and to me, Dr. A is ONE person out of 8.2 billion persons on this earth. Yes, indeed, she is extraordinary! And, she is a therapist's therapist. Cannot say enough good things about Dr. A!!!!!”

Getting to know Dr. Alair Altiero

There are times in all our lives when things just do not seem to be working for us anymore. During these difficult moments, it is helpful to have support and guidance from a trained professional. I see psychotherapy as a process of discovery between two people that can lead to great personal growth and transformation. My name is Dr. Alair Altiero, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and trusting psychotherapeutic relationship that encourages the exploration of areas of difficulty, hurt, and vulnerability. I work to guide my clients toward gaining insights into their unproductive behaviors from new perspectives, increasing their confidence, and fostering self-acceptance. I ask probing questions and point out inconsistencies while providing feedback, advice, insights, and observations. I hold a PhD in General Psychology from Capella University and a Master's in Counseling Psychology and Human Services from Chestnut Hill College. With over 15 years of experience, I have helped people from diverse backgrounds face a range of challenges. I specialize in assisting individuals to overcome depression and anxiety, change repeated unproductive behaviors, cope with medical problems, navigate the emotional journey of grief and loss, and improve their relationships with others. I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult, and many people delay it for a long time. However, I believe you owe it to yourself-and to those you love-to take this first step toward a happier, more peaceful, and meaningful life.

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.

I have seen many therapists throughout throughout my life and I have never felt more confident in any of them than I do in Dr. Altiero. My first session was already one of the best sessions I've ever had and I look forward to continuing down this path with her.

Dr. A immediately quelled my nerves about seeing a therapist upon out first session. She’s thoughtful, collected, and very down to earth. She immediately put me at ease, which via a zoom call is quite impressive. If you’re at all weary about therapy, I highly recommend her!

Dr. Altiero is fantastic and very sharp. Doesn't dally, and thinks about the process differently from most providers. She's good at her job. Would recommend.
