“I was nervous to start therapy again, but Alessandra immediately made me feel comfortable. She listens in a way that feels present and intentional, and her observations always come from a place of curiosity and care. She doesn’t rush or pressure me but still helps me stay focused on my goals. I’ve
gained so much insight about myself with her, and I’ve felt real, lasting shifts in how I show up in my relationships and in my life.”

“Alessandra is someone who creates space for honesty without making you feel exposed. Her vibe is
incredibly calming, but she’s also sharp and picks up on the little things you say and helps connect
them in ways that really open your eyes. I’ve worked with her through some pretty intense life
transitions, and she’s helped me stay centered, grounded, and hopeful throughout it all. I trust her
completely.”

Alessandra received her honors degree in Cognitive Science with a minor in Psychology from McGill University and has a Master’s Degree in Counseling for Mental Health & Wellness from New York University. Through her previous experience at Humber River Hospital (Toronto, Canada) in the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Program, as well as being trained as an active listener at the telephone listening service, Tel-Aide, Alessandra has developed experience in understanding individuals needs and caring for others. Through these experiences Alessandra has experienced how therapy not only has the influence to change the way individuals live their lives, but also give their lives meaning.
Alessandra’s ambition is to provide clients with the support they need. In creating a non-judgmental and open environment, she strives to form a strong therapeutic relationship with her clients where they feel heard and validated. The trust and support formed between her and her clients is at the forefront of her work, as it helps foster mutual appreciation and respect for the process of therapy and for one another. While focusing mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Behavioral Therapy (REBT) techniques, Alessandra understands the importance of using an integrative approach to her psychotherapy that is tailored to the needs of her clients. To this end, Alessandra’s goal is to provide her clients with a safe place for self-exploration, growth, and development, so they can lead healthier and happier lives.

We never got a confirmation thru their medical group. We got a confirmation on Zocdoc where we made appt. She waited over an hour till she finally knocked on a door and lady was not friendly. People saw her sitting in waiting room. Not a good experience.

Finding a therapist in New York, much less actually going, is a terrifying process — Ally immediately put me at ease, and the two years I've been going to see her weekly has been incredibly worthwhile. She is kind and empathetic, but straightforward and firm when you need it, and crucially, she has a knack for explaining complex concepts and emotions in a way that makes sense. Ally offers concrete things to think about or work on each week, and effective coping mechanisms to help get through harder moments. I always leave our sessions feeling calmer and more optimistic than I felt before.

Ally is absolutely phenomenal. Extremely thoughtful, able to “show you the door without walking you through it”, professional, attentive. Remembers everything from prior sessions, cares deeply without bringing emotions into patient’s decision making. She got me through an incredibly difficult time. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
