Getting to know Alessandra Salvado

**Please be advised that at the moment I cannot accept Medicare or Medicaid-associated insurance plans.** **Please expect a call or email from me upon booking an appointment to verify insurance coverage and provide instructions regarding telehealth.** I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, work-life balance challenges, as well as interpersonal difficulties and stress associated with life changes. My goal is to help my clients develop insight and skills to overcome life barriers and become the best version of themselves. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the client/therapist relationship and that therapy is a collaborative process. I also work with my clients to build skills and strategies they can implement outside of the therapy setting. I strive to provide my clients with a safe and non-judgmental space where they can explore their barriers, goals, and strengths, and feel motivated to make positive life changes. My multicultural background and experience as an immigrant help me maintain cultural sensitivity. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College. My clients describe me as motivational, supportive, and empowering. I believe an exciting recent development in the field is how, as a culture, we are becoming more accepting of therapy and addressing mental health, moving from a disease model to a health model.
