Therapists in New York

You know something needs to change. Maybe you have carried a quiet sense for a while that something is not quite right. On the outside, you are capable and accomplished. On the inside, there may be anxiety, self-doubt, or a persistent feeling of not being good enough. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working with adults. I believe change is possible. Together, we clarify what is keeping you stuck and move in a focused, collaborative way toward a more confident, values-driven life. I specialize in working with thoughtful, driven adults who feel stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and depression. Using CBT, we look closely at the patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work in a focused, collaborative way to shift them, so you can move through life with more flexibility, confidence, self-trust, and joy. Clients often share that they feel understood, gently challenged, and supported in ways that make meaningful change feel possible. If you’re ready to take a thoughtful, steady look at what’s keeping you stuck, I invite you to reach out. We can begin working toward changes that feel real and lasting.

Welcome! I’m Alexandrea Maratea, a compassionate therapist here to help you feel more confident, connected, and at peace in your life. I work with individuals facing anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family stress, and workplace pressures.  My approach is warm, personalized, and grounded in understanding your unique experiences. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and develop practical tools to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.  You deserve support and real change—you don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s take that next step together.  

Welcome. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Master of Public Health with over 18 years of healthcare experience. Throughout my career, I have provided compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across a variety of settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, inpatient residential programs, and Veteran healthcare services. My goal is to meet you where you are in your journey and create a supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking care for the first time or returning to treatment, I am committed to helping you achieve improved mental wellness through personalized, culturally responsive care.

My work is depth-oriented, relational, and mind-body centered. That means we don’t just focus on managing symptoms — we listen for what your struggles are trying to say. I draw from Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and dreamwork. Together, we pay attention to patterns, emotions, relationships, and the symbolic language of the psyche. Therapy becomes a place where insight, emotional experience, and embodied awareness come together. I see therapy as a collaborative process. The relationship itself matters, and change often happens through genuine understanding and meeting — sometimes for the first time. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in private practice. I'm currently in training with JPA in New York for archetypal psychoanalytic psychotherapy and have trained in EMDR, IFS, RLT, CBT, Hakomi, and more. I offer individual and group psychotherapy, and working with adults across a wide range of life concerns.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who provides individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship problems. I help individuals by helping to reduce or resolve distressing symptoms while addressing root causes of their problems so that they can lead fuller, more satisfying and vibrant lives.

As a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a rare and powerful combination of psychiatric and oncology expertise to my practice. With years of experience as an Oncology Nurse Practitioner, I deeply understand the emotional impact of serious medical illness — not just clinically, but personally. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and thoughtful medication management for anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, mood disorders, sleep disorders, and caregiver stress. My approach is warm, confidential, and patient-centered — creating a safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I have a special focus on individuals facing cancer. Whether you are navigating chemotherapy, struggling with fear of recurrence, adjusting to survivorship, or supporting a loved one through treatment, I offer specialized psychiatric care tailored to the unique emotional challenges of cancer and caregiving.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience, I have provided care across clinical settings ranging from emergency medicine to family practice. My background in rural critical access and telehealth has fueled my commitment to expanding high-quality healthcare for underserved communities and busy individuals. I hold multiple advanced degrees in nursing and education, and I am nationally board certified as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Nurse Educator. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about graduate-level nursing education, believing that patient understanding is the cornerstone of long-term health. Now based in Alaska, I combine clinical expertise with a compassionate approach to ensure my patients receive evidence-based, personalized support. My goal is to bridge the gap in traditional care through timely, accessible consultations that prioritize your wellness journey.

As an AuDHD (i.e. someone who is autistic and also happens to have ADHD), I am honored to work with neurodivergent people who have difficulty developing nourishing relationships, honoring themselves, and finding acceptance. I see my clients learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and sensations, noticing their bodies, unmet needs, and humanity. From this, there is a shift from rejection to acceptance and holding. The body is no longer something to be avoided, but a home for healing, growth, and nourishment.

I'm a New York based therapist who helps overwhelmed, high-performing individuals navigate burnout, life transitions, stress, and the pressure to "hold it all together," I take a warm, real, conversational approach that helps clients feel understood, grounded, and actually supported.
