ALICE PENCAVEL (she/her)

LMSW // Brooklyn, NY

I am grounded in the belief that we have the intrinsic capacity to heal. I am committed to supporting the development of compassion, wakefulness, and ease in response to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma. 

As a trained yoga teacher and practicing Zen Buddhist, I view physical health, mindfulness practice, community engagement, and philosophical inquiry, to be the pillars of emotional well-being. With a robust background as a playwright, I draw on my writing practice and the innate creativity of my clients as guides along the healing journey.

Trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, and the Gottman Method, my approach to therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, and creative. I am a certified End of Life Doula, with experience working in hospitals as a Spiritual Care provider, assisting patients and their loved ones through grief, crisis, and transition.

I find nurturing a connection to nature to be a tremendous resource for healing. As a queer person, I understand the necessity of cultivating brave, inclusive spaces, and I believe dismantling oppressive frameworks is integral to the intimate task of personal growth.
