About Vanessa Alpert

Getting to know Vanessa Alpert

As a Mental Health Counselor, I believe in supporting and empowering clients to focus on their many strengths and become the best version of themselves. My goal as a counselor is to cultivate a warm and safe environment that offers a space for growth and positive change. I utilize an integrative approach, using various techniques (with a strong emphasis on CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) that encourage clients to discuss the many emotions and challenges they face in life. I received a Bachelors’s degree in Psychology and completed studies in Human Development at the University of Alabama. I went on to complete my Master’s degree at CUNY Hunter College in Mental Health Counseling. My academic background has prepared me to work in a diverse population and with various concerns such as depression, anxiety grief, trauma, and other emotional issues. I believe that profound change lies within the client and I am here to listen, reflect, challenge and assist you through the process. I will encourage you to use your time in therapy to express yourself openly and freely, without judgment. In order to meet your current mental health needs, we will develop a treatment plan together that feels right for you. By developing an honest and trusting therapeutic relationship you will have the space to work on your current struggles and get to where you want to be. I look forward to being a part of your journey!
