“Working with Alice has been incredible. I don't have a lot of experience with therapy and was nervous and tentative going into it. She immediately put me at ease--she is so warm and is never judgemental. I trust Alice to really listen to me with openness and compassion, she makes me feel like she truly cares.
I HIGHLY recommend her!”

Getting to know Alice Pencavel
I am grounded in the belief that we have the intrinsic capacity to heal. I am committed to supporting the development of compassion, wakefulness, and ease in response to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma. As a trained yoga teacher and practicing Zen Buddhist, I view physical and spiritual health, mindfulness practice, and engagement with philosophical inquiry as the pillars of emotional well-being. With a robust background as a playwright, I draw on my writing practice and the innate creativity of my clients as guides along the healing journey.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University and am trained in EMDR and TF-CBT. My approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and creative. I find nurturing a connection to nature to be a tremendous resource for healing. As a queer person, I understand the necessity of brave, inclusive spaces, and I believe dismantling oppressive frameworks is integral to the intimate task of personal growth.
I am currently in network with several insurances while also working with out-of-network benefits. My office would be happy to help you maximize your insurance benefits.

Alice, is the most professional therapist I've ever had. She's an excellent listener and continues to demonstrate her devotion, breadth of knowledge and expertise, and love for the work. She is very adept at picking up the little bits that people ignore or forget and has helped immensely with recognizing patterns by deepening and understanding the context that brings them about. My treatments feel unique and not something I've read out of a text book. I highly recommend her.
