Getting to know Alyssa Deonarine
Hi, I’m Alyssa, a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit and psychotherapist. I work with young adults, college students, and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and trauma-related experiences. I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, including transgender individuals, and strive to provide an affirming, supportive, and culturally responsive therapeutic environment.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual needs of each client. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, strengths-based interventions, and multicultural perspectives to help clients develop insight, emotional resilience, and healthier coping strategies. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood within the therapeutic relationship.
As someone with a Caribbean background, I recognize the important role culture, identity, family dynamics, and lived experiences can play in emotional well-being and personal growth. I value multicultural competence and approach each client with openness, empathy, and cultural awareness.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Sciences, as well as a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Alongside my clinical work, I also bring a strong background in leadership, mentorship, and working with diverse populations across academic and professional settings.
I understand that beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful and lasting growth.

Almost didn’t call her. I was really resistant to therapy because of past negative experiences I’ve had with therapists. Very happy I went through with meeting her. She is kind, understanding, and patient.

Walked in stressed and anxious, left feeling lighter and actually equipped with tools. If you are hesitant about starting therapy, just try one session with Alyssa. You won’t regret it.

Seriously, she is a gift! Go for it!
