Carissa Boncardo(She/Her/Hers)

Carissa Boncardo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Mamaroneck, New York who specializes in anxiety, including panic disorder, and depression. Her practice is open to adults as well as kids ages 14 and up.

When working with adults and young adults, Carissa takes a multifaceted approach that works in art therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  She helps them work through anxiety that may be related to early childhood trauma, as well as their present-day stressors.

When working with children, Carissa often utilizes play therapy. She also integrates art, with activities like glitter jars and sand-tray therapy. This overall integrative approach also blends with other techniques like mindfulness, breathing exercises, and bits of modified CBT. Such a wide-ranging scope helps with a child client’s anxiety, depression, and ADHD, if applicable. She also sees parents to provide details and ongoing education, typically on a monthly basis (though more frequently if necessary).
