Alissa Mallow(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Alissa Mallow is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a virtual psychotherapy practice in New York State so adults (ages 18 and older) can have access to therapy. Many of her clients are struggling with depression, anxiety, and histories of trauma which impact their relationships with others and led to feelings of low self-esteem, uncertainty in decision-making, and an overall sense of 'unwellness'. Dr. Mallow's style is collaborative, authentic, and non-judgmental. When clients first start therapy, she will work to understand the client's past history, their successes, challenges, and current stresses which led them to seek therapy. Through exploration of current and past challenges and successes, using insight-oriented and skills-based approaches, the person can not only develop new ways of coping and feeling better and improve their relationships with others and restore a sense of 'wellness' and balance to their lives.

Having worked in large tertiary care hospitals during the course of her career, Dr. Mallow is uniquely skilled in working with those experiencing depression and anxiety related to medical diagnoses and chronic conditions, as well as working with couples struggling with infertility and pregnancy loss.

One of Dr. Mallow's favorite quotes comes from the theorist, Harry Stack Sullivan who said "your emotional life is not written in cement during childhood. You write each chapter as you go along". It is her honor to partner with her clients in the writing of their new chapters.
