Alyssa Ciniglio

Alyssa Ciniglio (she/her) is a second-year Counseling Psychology master’s student at Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Development. I am originally from Queens, NY, and graduated from CUNY Hunter College with a degree in Clinical Psychology and Sociology. Upon graduating, I became a research lab manager for the Hunter Psycho-Oncology Lab and program coordinator for an NCI-funded summer research program, STANDOUT, both of which sparked my interest and passion for working with college students. Currently, I work at the Newbury Center, providing coaching for first-generation undergraduate and graduate students. My clinical goals are to create a safe, welcoming therapeutic environment that promotes accessible, inclusive, and affirming care. I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ and TNB students and first-generation students through a strengths and resilience-based approach, such as ACT and narrative therapy.
