Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in New York, NY

Alyssa is a relationship and trauma 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, often clouded by an anxious stream 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. We build a safe foundation of connection that promotes communication, growth. healing, passion and joy.

Clients often begin therapy from an overwhelmed, entangled headspace, knowing innately there’s something they would like to work towards, but feeling unsure of what that journey may look like. I strive to join you where you’re at, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard. We will work together to uncover insights and gain clarity, drawing upon your strengths, capabilities, and sense of self. My approach is warm, conversational, and collaborative, beginning with your goals and hopes for treatment, and incorporating creative methods to work together in this pursuit. Our sessions are tailored to best suit your unique needs.

I have been passionate about the field of psychology and counseling since I was a child. In my work I place a major focus on the therapeutic relationship, communication, and validation in treatment. I am prepared to support you in tackling the ups and downs that come with healing. Together, through mutual communication and honesty we can target the things in life that are holding the client back, whether that be trauma, relational issues, sexuality/gender concerns, life changes, etc.

Life often feels harder than it needs to. We have so many balls in the air, and constant juggling often leads to anxiety, self-doubt, and anger. It can be hard to be a good parent and spouse, to meet the expectations of friends colleagues and family, all while trying to meet our own needs.

I have been working in private practice for the last ten years. A common type of client I see is someone who did quite well academically as a student and faces challenges when it comes to the more nebulous and messy arenas of adult life, particularly in careers and relationships. Oftentimes, the questions and choices one faces with no clear roadmap can feel overwhelming and isolating. I specialize in areas such as dating, attachment issues, polyamory, struggling with a break-up/divorce, infidelity, boundary setting with loved ones, job stress and confusion around career path, sexual identity, and generalized anxiety and depression.
