Hi there! My name is Alessandra. I obtained a master of arts in art therapy and counseling in CT in 2021. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. My approach is client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. As a nontraditional art therapist, I incorporate creative interventions when they feel helpful, while also using talk therapy—there's no expectation that you have to make art to benefit from our work together.
I specialize in working with children and individuals who have experienced trauma, but I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds. I believe healing doesn't always have to be serious; therapy can include laughter, creativity, and moments of joy alongside processing life's challenges. Sometimes, what we need most is simply a safe space to share our inner world.
You'll also meet my two therapy dogs, who typically spend sessions napping nearby. Their calm presence has brought comfort to many clients and helps create a welcoming, relaxed environment.

Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

My journey toward becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor was significantly influenced by my graduate program at Rollins College, as well as by my undergraduate years at the University of Florida. Working with emerging adults, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community, affords me the opportunity to channel my life experiences into empathy for my clients. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I recognize that mental health and well-being are informed by having the confidence and courage to live as one's authentic self. I strive to help my clients do this within the framework of the identities they hold and experiences they've had.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, women’s issues, and the unique challenges that can come with aging and geriatric care. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want their faith to be part of their therapeutic experience. Whatever brings you to counseling, my goal is to understand what you need and help you move toward meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a master’s-level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) practicing in Florida. My experience working in residential treatment settings for mental health and substance use has shaped my commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. Through years of clinical practice, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and life experiences impact daily functioning and overall well-being.
I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. Like many people, I have faced personal challenges that have deepened my understanding of mental health and strengthened my empathy for those I work with. I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Maine and have worked in home-based family programs, residential treatment settings, and a methadone clinic providing medication-assisted treatment. Throughout my career, I’ve supported adults with dual diagnoses, trauma, mood disorders, serious mental illness, and substance use concerns, as well as older adults navigating life transitions.

My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and grounded in helping clients feel safe, seen, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based practices with mindfulness, emotional awareness, and practical coping strategies to help clients rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you move from survival to healing—one step at a time.
