Tina Iacovissi

People often reach out when something that used to hold together no longer does — a marriage under real strain, a child who has gone quiet, an anxiety that has outgrown whatever was managing it before. Tina Iacovissi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Rome, NY, works with exactly that kind of moment: the one where continuing as-is stops being an option. Her practice spans individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families across a wide range of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, affair recovery, life transitions, abuse, and the particular pressures that come with raising kids through divorce or welcoming a new family structure.

With children and teens, Tina draws on both child-centered and directive play therapy, creating room for young clients to process what they can’t yet put into words. For couples, her Gottman Method Level 2 training and premarital counseling work help partners move from entrenched conflict toward something more workable — including the slow rebuild after betrayal. She also understands how the constant pull of notifications and half-finished tasks makes it harder for clients to be present in their own lives, and she helps people rebuild the focus that sustained change actually requires.

Tina offers in-person appointments in Rome, NY, and teletherapy for New York residents, with flexible morning and evening availability. Her approach draws on CBT, narrative therapy, Gottman interventions, and trauma-informed care — chosen for fit, not formula.
