“What I love about working with Alessandra is how she blends compassion with real, useful insight.
She’s helped me notice patterns I'd been stuck in for years, and her guidance has helped me move
through them. It's not just about talking, it's about growing, and she’s helped me do exactly that.”

“Alessandra is someone who leads with empathy, but she’s also incredibly smart in the way she helps
you untangle things. Our sessions always feel thoughtful and real—not forced or overly clinical. She’s
helped me feel more secure in my emotions and taught me how to trust myself in ways I hadn’t before.

Getting to know Alessandra Marinaro
I believe that we each have the power to be our best selves, and much of harnessing that power comes from taking the time to engage in self-discovery and practice self-care. I utilize an empathic and personalized approach to help you explore barriers that might be holding you back from living your most fulfilling, balanced, and authentic life.
Having grown up in a multicultural environment and attended international schools in Beijing, I have a profound appreciation for diversity and individuality. Through this, I’ve come to understand that we all have a story worth sharing and a distinct path that can be challenging to navigate. Every person is unique, and I recognize and honor this individuality in my approach. My focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, tailored to your specific circumstances. My own journey of self-discovery through psychotherapy has given me valuable insights into the power of embracing one’s identity and the comfort that comes from recognizing it.
I have always been fascinated by how our experiences and cultures shape us and influence how we navigate the world, which has fueled my interest in human behavior. I completed my BS in Psychology from Northeastern University, with a minor in Health Science. I also hold an Ed.M. and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. This educational background supports my interest in how health and wellness intersect with our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
In my free time, I love to run (half-marathons), read mystery thrillers, cook (pasta being my favorite), and go out to eat with my friends and family.

Alessandra has this calm, steady energy that makes you feel comfortable right away. From our first session, it felt like talking to someone who truly gets it. She doesn't push or rush the process but always knows how to gently guide you toward those "aha" moments. I've been able to talk through things I didn't even realize were weighing me down. Every session feels like a mix of real talk and deep insight. She's helped me feel more confident and more in tune with myself.

Working with Alessandra has been one of the best choices I've made for my mental health. She creates such a warm, open space where I can show up exactly as I am no pressure, no judgment. She's incredibly thoughtful and has helped me process things I've carried for years. I always leave our sessions feeling a little lighter, a little clearer. She's the kind of therapist you feel lucky to have in your corner.

My last visit was so helpful and insightful, and truly helped me feel better about the things I talked about with Alessandra. She always understands what I'm saying, even when I'm not the most articulate, and we always touch on everything that I want to talk to every session. She explains everything in a way I understand and always gives me amazing exercises to implement into my daily life.

Alessandra has been wonderful for me! There is flexibility in seeing her in person or virtual depending on what my day looks like. She also has been great at showing parallels between different aspects of my personality in different parts of my life. I have been seeing her for a little over a year now and I have seen so much progress while working with her.
