Getting to know D'Andrah Almanzar

Hi there! I'm D'Andrah, a compassionate social worker and licensed psychotherapist. My professional background includes extensive experience in the healthcare system, working alongside clients navigating complex chronic illnesses. In my clinical practice, I specialize in trauma and grief, women's and LGBTQ+ issues, and anxiety and depression. My work centers on building trust and connection, empowering individuals to lead more intentional and meaningful lives. I am committed to helping individuals navigate life transitions and emotional challenges, driven by a deep passion for community-led healing and accessible mental healthcare. In addition to my clinical work, I am the Director of Community Partnerships for Release Wellness NYC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by women of color and survivors.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach utilizes evidence-based tools including EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, and Psychodynamic therapy integrated with somatic practices like breathwork and mindfulness to help you reconnect with both body and mind. My goal is to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, equipping you to rewrite a narrative that is defined by your strengths rather than your past.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our initial sessions are dedicated to understanding your story and experiences. We will spend this time discussing your background, what brings you to therapy, and any specific goals you want to achieve. Rather than adhering to a rigid, purely clinical assessment, my diagnostic process is highly collaborative. We will explore the roots of your concerns whether related to anxiety, grief, systemic stress, or past trauma in a way that honors your pace and personal history.
