Therapy doesn't have to be formal, intimidating, or daunting.
At Grounded Minds Psychology, we create a warm, lively environment where therapists, grounded in their own humanity, can inspire growth, spark curiosity, and make personal development feel engaging and authentic.
Nestled in the charming village of Tarrytown, our practice is easily accessible by car or Metro North, offering a serene and convenient space for healing. We’re committed to making mental health care both accessible and affordable. As such, some of our providers are partnered with Aetna to help eligible patients lower their therapy costs.
A modern, comprehensive,
and accessible
mental health space,
in person and online.
Who we are
Opposites attract, and so do similarities. Growing up in different countries with completely different lifestyles, we were drawn, curiously, to each other’s narrative. Both psychologists-in-training at the time, we also shared a deeply rooted passion for analyzing the human mind and behavior.
Over 7 years, we honed our individual specialties and developed a deep friendship. This growth, both professionally and personally, inspired us to unite our expertise and perspectives in founding Grounded Minds Psychology; a boutique group practice where therapy consciously fosters curiosity for holistic self-exploration and aims to bridge the gap to accessible care. Most importantly, a practice where we approach patients as humans first, and therapists second, because we know that a genuine therapeutic relationship is the secret ingredient for real change.
We’re glad you’re here and we look forward to hearing your story,
Drs Ewa Adamek Vanagas & Alana Flynn

Please call or email to discuss our fees.
Some, but not all, of our providers are in network with Aetna. If so, they may accept a limited amount of patients in-network.
Patients with other insurers are out-of-network and are billed directly. If you have a PPO or another plan that allows you to select an out-of-network provider, you may be eligible for reimbursement. On each bill, we will include information necessary to be submitted to insurance companies.
Policies vary significantly, and we recommend checking with your insurance company to determine the extent of your out-of-network mental health (or “behavioral health”) benefits, including your annual deductible, the number of sessions covered per calendar year, and whether or not your sessions need to be pre-authorized. -
There is a 24-hour cancellation policy without penalty. If you need to cancel a session, please email or call your clinician, and leave a message. We will attempt to reschedule appointments whenever able. If not, you will be responsible for the full cost of the missed session.
