Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

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.

At Only1 Family Therapy, we provide a safe and affirming space specializing in supporting diverse communities, including LGBTQIA+ clients, through life’s challenges. Our goal is to help you heal, grow, and thrive—authentically and without judgment.

It's time to put yourself first, and I'm here to help you do that. With my experience working with adults from a diverse population, I understand how difficult it is to prioritize yourself in life which can lead to depression, anxiety, emotional distress, and unnecessary stress.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, with an emphasis on creating a genuine connection and helping you feel heard and understood. Together, we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
