Dr Michael Alcee

Psychologist

“A thoughtful & warm psychologist who zeroes in on feelings, thoughts, and patterns that will help you transform creatively!”

About Me

I offer a thoughtful, warm space where we focus on your feelings, thoughts, and underlying patterns. Together, we'll gently unravel these elements, helping you understand yourself more deeply. This process aims to spark creative transformation, guiding you towards new perspectives and solutions. If you seek a supportive guide to unlock your inner resources, I am here to help you begin that journey.

Approach

You’ll find our work balances close curiosity about what you’re feeling and thinking with practical, low-risk experiments that help you try new responses. In Tarrytown or online in English, sessions move at a steady, conversational pace: we notice patterns, try brief in-session shifts, and sometimes follow up with simple between-session practices to keep discoveries alive. I lean on collaborative questioning and reflective exercises that suit adolescents, adults, and couples facing transitions, stress, or identity questions. This way of working tends to help people feel clearer and more able to act.
