Alessandra Snavely

My communication style

My communication style is calm, supportive, and collaborative. I listen closely and reflect back what I’m hearing so you feel understood. I offer gentle feedback and guidance while respecting your pace, especially when we’re working through something difficult or overwhelming.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was originally drawn to therapy to support children, and along the way, worked with adults with severe mental illness and youth in shelters and schools. These experiences shaped my trauma-informed approach. In private practice, I now support teens and adults healing from trauma, including through EMDR.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll identify goals that matter most to you and break them into manageable steps. As you grow and gain insight, goals can shift. I support progress by pacing the work thoughtfully and checking in regularly on what’s helping.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable, and there’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and grounded by the end of our time together.
