Getting to know Alyssa Pravato
Alyssa has extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ teens and young adults, providing a safe and supportive space for those looking to explore the complexities of identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She holds a Master's in Professional Studies in Art Therapy and Creativity Development from Pratt Institute, which enriches her approach to therapy. Alyssa is committed to creating an inclusive, safe environment where clients feel valued and understood, enabling authentic self-expression and effective problem-solving.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Alyssa provides a mixed approach of talk therapy and art therapy which can be done in-person at the Brooklyn office or through telehealth. Art therapy provides creative expression to assist navigating emotional regulation and a greater sense of self. You do NOT need to have any artistic ability to participate in art therapy. Alyssa helps clients explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve greater self-awareness through various artistic modalities. Some artistic modalities may be through music, metaphors, physical art, digital art, etc.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Alyssa likes to encourage at the start of session, a color check in; "How are you feeling right now in this moment and associate that feeling to a color?" We then go into what about the feeling is associating the specific color and where do you feel the feeling/color in your body. Doing the color check-in is an alternative, creative way to check in with yourself and a way to transition into the therapy space.

I like Alyssa but didn’t realize she was an art therapist. Also, the 7 day cancellation fee is why I will not go back. That is not even possible. Usually it’s a 24-48 hour cancellation policy. So based on that I will not see her or anyone from zocdoc if this is their policy. Alyssa is very open and friendly and I felt very comfortable talking to her!

Alyssa is a great art therapist! I left our session feeling less anxious and calmer before our session. I have experience working with Alyssa as a colleague during our mock sessions in graduate school. Alyssa offered artistic tools for me to use when experiencing high levels of anxiety that have helped me.
