“My daughter who is 13 was extremely comfortable with Alley. Alley helped my daughter to express her feelings and to use certain techniques to understand and cope with her feelings instead of acting out on them. I am appreciative of the progress my daughter has made during sessions with Alley.”

Getting to know Alexandrea Maratea
Are you sick of waking up anxious and not being able to sleep at night? Are you tired of feeling irritable most days or guilty for canceling plans because it feels overwhelming? Is the thought of going to work or a family gathering just too much? Do you find yourself talking yourself out of completing your tasks? I am here to help you conquer these challenges using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and behavioral activation techniques. With a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the City University of New York, College of Staten Island, I am dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward greater well-being and balance.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy is a passage to understanding and discovering all aspects of yourself. I strive to create a comfortable space for you to self-explore while feeling safe and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, a partnership between the client and the therapist and should remain respectful, trusting, and transparent. The therapy room is the space for you to be your complete authentic self, free of judgment and full of motivation and support. I am dedicated to providing clients with the support and skills necessary to achieve their goals and begin talking towards the healing process.
We also offer the option to work with a student intern at a discounted rate! She has both afternoon and evening availability!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe in the importance of guiding clients towards understanding the connection and impact their thoughts have on their feelings, experiences, and behaviors. Together we learn to identify, accept, and challenge these thoughts to adjust your perspective. We also focus on building motivation, implementing mindfulness & self-care into your daily routine.
It is highly likely that you will have more ease in your life and more control over your emotions and mindset. Allow me to assist you in gaining the happiness you desire by learning skills, understanding triggers, and yourself. Taking this step toward self-exploration and healing is both courageous and scary, so allow me to help you along this process!

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $155 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $135 for 60 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
Please note I do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
I utilize two difference platforms to process your insurance. For in-network billing the platform checks your insurance, posts your copayment and processes the claim. For out of network, you are billing the full fee of the session and then the second platform submits the insurance claim on your behalf, and reimburses you the difference based on what your insurance covers for the visit.
