Alana Russotti, LCSW, IECMH-E®, is a seasoned clinician with over 15 years of experience working with children and families impacted by trauma. Currently, Alana serves as the Director of Clinical & Reflective Practices at SPCC, where she oversees and supports the agency’s clinical programs and the Mary Ellen Institute.

Alana holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Women & Gender Studies and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University. She is an active member of NYSAIMH’s endorsement committee and has deep expertise in child and family clinical work, Reflective Supervision/Consultation, parent-child Emotional Availability®, child welfare, high-conflict custody, child-centered play therapy, and trauma’s impact on children. Alana is also deeply committed to the field of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.

I lead with a firm belief that healthy relationships are at the heart of all meaningful work—whether within multidisciplinary teams, in supervision, or in clinical practice. Reflection is central to that work, creating space to slow down, make meaning, and support more thoughtful and attuned responses to the children and families we serve.
