Alyssa is a relationship therapist who helps individuals & couples reconnect with themselves and each other through healing complex trauma, grief, chronic anxiety & toxic relationship patterns. I help clients slow down from their busy lives that leave little space to breathe or make choices with clarity, often clouded by an anxious street of thoughts or floating numbly with disconnection while over-scheduling to avoid pain. We explore and shift how expectations and circumstances may come at the expense of clarity and fulfillment from a safe foundation of connection that promotes safe communication, growth and healing.

You deserve to feel well; Let's get you there. Our work together is designed to cultivate greater contentment in your life. We all experience challenge, often around our relationships, our work, our health, and caring for our children and loved ones. These experiences can provoke anxiety, fear and uncertainty. Having a safe, nonjudgmental space in which to work through these moments can be profoundly helpful and often facilitate swifter resolution. I am trained in a wide number of modalities including EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems) Relational and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, among others.

I have a passion for helping adults, teens, and children heal from trauma. Whether you're struggling with a complex trauma history or navigating through a stressful life event, I work alongside my clients to help them navigate challenging experiences, overwhelming emotions, and confusing relationship dynamics (in families or with partners). My clinical focus and passion is working with clients navigating intimate partner violence, family violence, sexual assault, abuse as a child, and other complex traumas. In recent years, I've also developed a specialty in working with parents of children with special needs.

My clients are deep thinkers and deep feelers. They are often burdened by injustice at large and overwhelmed by their inner world of emotion. If you’ve ever been told that you “overthink” things or you’re “too sensitive,” I want to offer you support and encouragement. There’s nothing wrong with being empathic and attuned to the suffering around you. It may be challenging, but it is a strength.

I work with folks experiencing anxiety and other challenges in relationships. Do you find yourself returning to familiar but detrimental ways of dealing with certain life challenges? Are you in a good relationship that’s triggering a lot of discomfort, making it hard to show up for your partner in ways that you like? If you have outgrown but still struggle with perfectionism, minimizing your needs, overachieving, trying to maintain control or isolating, If you want to feel less anxious, step out of the caretaker role, and have healthy relationships with yourself and others, I understand and can help you get there.

Zeenat collaborates with clients to create an affirmative and non-judgmental space for them to explore their lives and the impediments they have experienced and are currently facing. Zeenat uses a trauma informed integrative approach to therapy, utilizing techniques from CBT, Person centered, IFS and mindfulness.

Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking and/or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back.

Life can look great on paper but how you feel about yourself and your relationships is often what means the most in terms of joy and connection. As a warm and open therapist, I bring my training and experience to help you work through the areas where you feel stuck. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Therapy can provide a gentle place to get stronger and explore what you want in life, love, and your own personal fulfillment, and find ways to feel better.

I am currently completing a master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness at New York University. I aim to use a warm and compassionate approach to create a space where my clients feel safe and comfortable to explore difficult emotions and experiences. I am interested in working with individuals who are struggling with mood and anxiety disorders as well as self-esteem and trauma.

It's too easy for daily life and work to feel like prisons we just have to endure, rather than gifts to be cherished. Life can throw some tough challenges our way, and as a result, we can end up feeling disconnected from who we are and what truly matters. My mission to help you find a life that is meaningful, whole, and free - by connecting you back to your authentic self and life in the present.

Emotional distress is too often pathologized when it's a reasonable response to the oppressive systems in which we live. Instead of trying to "fix" you or help you not feel any difficult emotions, I believe that all feelings have information, and we have the power to find out what that information is and choose what to do with it. I would aim to support you in strengthening your capacity to feel difficult feelings, to treat all parts of you with curiosity and compassion, and to determine what information your feelings are holding so that you can feel more connected to yourself and make choices that align with your values.

We believe in fostering a space that embraces diversity, inclusivity, and compassionate healing and are deeply committed to providing specialized care for individuals navigating the complex intersections of identity, mental health, and relationships. We specialize in assisting those with depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, PTSD, coping strategies, and relationship challenges. Whatever you're facing, our practice offers the support you require on your journey toward healing and well-being.

My priority is to create a safe and respectful atmosphere, conducive to fostering your healing and self expression. I am EMDR certified, a treatment which is life changing in its ability to shift stressful or traumatic experiences from a place of pain to one of growth. In addition, I draw on Humanistic, CBT and Internal Family Systems approaches. My values are gender-affirming, sex/body positive, and lgbtqia+ friendly. As someone who has greatly benefited from amazing therapists, I believe in the healing power of this process.

The decision to start therapy is personal and courageous and not always easy. Everyone goes through times when they feel more stressed out, angry, anxious or depressed. It is easier for people to explore their lives and make transformations when they are working with a therapist that they feel comfortable with and trust. My intention is to help you identify the goals you want to work on and to help you understand what is getting in the way of achieving them. I ultimately want to give you a new perspective and look at your underlying belief systems and the repetitive patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Couples and individuals seeking therapy deserve tremendous respect. In my work with relationships, I offer Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT) to help both partners to get unstuck from the repetitive patterns of emotional disconnect, that lead to fights or deadening silence. As a couples' therapist with an advanced training in Gottman therapy, I integrate it in my work when needed. My approach to individual treatment is Internal Family Systems (IFS) where you get to know your inner world, become more present, less reactive, and more capable of self-healing. I work both with monogamous and consensual non-monogamous relationships.

The decision to begin therapy is rarely easy, but once you begin you may be surprised by the changes that unfold. Finding a therapist who helps you feel safe, supported, and challenged is central to this process. I've been fortunate to work with a wide range of people, including those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, sexual issues, sexual and gender identity exploration, health concerns, artistic blockages, addiction, parenting, and fertility issues.
