Psychotherapist, LMHC

Alessandra Licul

Alessandra offers both traditional and psychedelic-assisted therapy through a grounded, collaborative approach. Her goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your brain and emotions using simple, science-based explanations. When you know why you feel or react a certain way, you can begin making real, lasting changes. Rooted in humanistic and depth psychology, Alessandra’s work supports deep transformation - whether you’re facing a challenge, seeking clarity, or stepping into new possibilities.

A message from Alessandra

We all have patterns we want to change. But to make those changes stick, we need to look inward. It’s not just about managing symptoms - it’s about getting to the root. When you understand the why, you can shift the how.

  • I’m straightforward and collaborative—I want to talk with you, not at you. I’m not the kind of therapist who stares and nods for 45 minutes. I care deeply about each client and take an active role in our work together. My goal is to create a space that feels supportive, engaged, and genuinely invested in your success.

    I believe we talk much slower than we think, and that saying things out loud is necessary to untangle our inner worlds. Every day, I’m energized by helping people find clarity, purpose, and meaningful change.

    A bit about me….

    I was born and raised in Queens in New York City. Before I discovered my passion for innovative mental health care and psychology, I went to business school and spent time in the corporate space. This was not a good fit for me, but gave me the invaluable lesson of how to make difficult changes in life to bring you closer to your true purpose. I believe change is possible for anyone willing to do the work with me. Seeking therapy is the first step in achieving the life you want.
