About Alison Prevo, LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City. I studied Mental Health Counseling at Fordham University and graduated with my Masters in 2018, but my passion for psychology has been lifelong.
My approach:
Choosing the right psychotherapist to work with is an essential part of the path to emotional healing and self-awareness. Each client that comes in to my office is beginning a new journey as they show me the way into their lives and become a part of mine; I strive to honor that by creating a trusting environment that allows these clients to express themselves fully and explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences with me. Over time, my clients discover their potential for growth within the context of the therapeutic relationship.
I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship, which blossoms organically over time between the client and their therapist, is the most critical aspect of treatment. The unconditional positive regard bestowed by a therapist is gradually internalized by the client and sets the stage for the development of a positive relationship with oneself and with others in the client’s life.
My practice is guided by an eclectic framework, blending elements of psychodynamic theory, a relational focus, and a client-centered philosophy that prioritizes meeting the client where they are. In my work, I like to refer my clients to relevant materials, such as literature, experiential exercises, workbooks, podcasts, and smartphone apps. These materials ensure that you get the most out of your therapy experience, even between our scheduled sessions.
I have experience working with people of color, individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), the LGBTQ community, and other such marginalized groups. Cultural sensitivity is an integral part of my approach and I believe that all individuals should have access to therapy.

Testimonials
“I've spent two years with Alison, and I cannot imagine how I would have handled all the the life crises and the current pandemic without having the tools that she has equipped me with over the years. I feel more comfortable in my own skin, have more confidence in establishing boundaries, and more able to handle difficult conversations. In addition to personally taking her recommendations to hear, I've also shared them (ranging from books, podcasts, breath work) with friends.” —Anonymous client
“She helped me try a helpful, new treatment style which was less rigid, seeing where our work took us. She is a great listener, she is encouraging and supportive, and she provides great resource recommendations to supplement our work. I greatly appreciate our time together and highly recommend her services!” —Anonymous client
About Stefanya Causey,
MHC-LP
As a mental health clinician, I believe an empathetic and individualized therapeutic process can allow clients to safely explore thoughts and emotions. My role as a therapist is not only to hold space for the difficult times, but to bring to light my client's inner strengths that will assist them in taking steps towards reaching their goals. As a bicultural and bilingual therapist, I aim to promote cultural competency and sensitivity within the therapeutic relationship.
Through a collaborative approach, we can identify needs and develop skills with the objective of achieving emotional and mental wellness. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques that can challenge behaviors, lead to a deeper understanding of certain patterns, and assist in managing current life experiences and stressors.
Iniciar terapia puede ser complejo, especialmente, si no sabes por donde empezar, Creo en desarrollar una dinamica donde juntos podemos explorar dificultades de una manera segura y holistica.
