Ivelisse Concepcion, LCSW

Ivelisse Concepcion is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, NY LCSW, with 25 years of experience in mental health. She has worked across community and clinical settings in New York since 1995. Ivelisse has spent much of her career with children and youth, and in recent years she has shifted much of her clinical work to adults and couples. She speaks English and Spanish.

She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma. Her background includes working on mobile crisis teams and in community programs. That experience informs how she looks at immediate safety and practical supports alongside longer-term goals.

Her style blends clear, goal-focused work with attention to what a person needs now. She draws from Client-Centered approaches to listen and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused strategies are used to set concrete steps and small goals that fit daily life.

She also uses trauma-focused methods when trauma or abuse is part of the story. Ivelisse emphasizes identifying barriers, building on strengths, and practicing skills that help with emotional control and impulse management. Her work includes helping parents and caregivers manage frustration and reduce conflict.

Clients who prefer Spanish can work with her in that language. Her practice and training have involved grief work, interventions for mood disorders, and approaches for children and young adults who have severe emotional disturbance.
