At Inzinna, we believe effective mental health support does not always begin in a therapist’s office. Sometimes it begins in a hallway, a classroom, or a conversation between a school counselor and a struggling student. Our School Partnerships program helps bridge the gap between mental health care and education by bringing clinical expertise directly into schools across New York City and Westchester.
We partner with school administrators, counselors, and educators to provide on-site services, staff consultation, executive functioning support, and assessment coordination that strengthen student well-being, academic functioning, and overall school culture.
We place licensed clinicians within your school to provide mental health support for students during the school day. Services are tailored to the needs of each school and may include:
Our executive functioning coaching program helps students build the practical skills they need to succeed in school, at home, and over time in broader areas of life. Grounded in the philosophy that struggling students often need better tools, not more criticism, coaching focuses on:
This service can be especially helpful for students with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, or executive functioning challenges and can be delivered individually or in small groups within the school setting.
Teachers, school counselors, and administrators are often the first to notice when a student is struggling, but they are not always given the clinical support needed to respond effectively. Our team offers:
When a student’s presentation suggests ADHD, a learning disability, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, or another underlying concern, we coordinate comprehensive psychological assessments through our practice. These evaluations can:
Our school partnership team is led by Dorothea Muccigrosso, who has spent more than five decades working across educational settings at every level. We are not a clinical group trying to learn schools from the outside. We understand how schools function, what administrators need, and how to integrate support in a way that strengthens rather than disrupts what is already working.
Inzinna was built to expand access to high-quality mental health care through the systems that already support children and families. Schools are one of the most important of those systems. Our work is grounded in the belief that early, accessible, and well-coordinated support can make a meaningful difference in a student’s life.
When students need more support than the school can reasonably provide, we help create a clear path to continued care. Our team works collaboratively with school personnel and families so that students can move more smoothly from in-school support to outpatient treatment when appropriate.
School counselors, teachers, administrators, and support staff are essential partners in everything we do. Our goal is to support your existing systems, strengthen your staff’s capacity, and provide students with timely, coordinated, and clinically informed care.
Assistant Director of Youth Development
Dorothea is the primary point of contact for all school partnership inquiries at Inzinna. She brings more than 50 years of experience in education, school leadership, child development, and school consultation across a wide range of settings.
Her career includes 22 years as Principal of Saint Ann Parish School in Ossining, New York, where she grew enrollment from 116 to nearly 400 students. She later served as Director of Early Childhood Literacy for the Archdiocese of New York and has worked as an adjunct professor of early childhood education, a school consultant throughout Manhattan, the Bronx, and Westchester, and a program manager at Sylvan Learning. Her work has been recognized with the NCEA Distinguished Principals Award, the United Nations International Year of the Child medal, and the Village of Ossining’s proclamation of Dorothea Muccigrosso Day.
When a school reaches out to us, Dorothea is often the first person they hear from. She understands your world because she has lived it.
Director of Youth Development
Juan Carlos Espinal is a Licensed Master Social Worker and the Director of Youth Development at Inzinna. With more than a decade of experience working with youth, young adults, and families across clinical, educational, and community settings, Carlos brings a strong combination of therapeutic skill, program leadership, and relational warmth to every school engagement.
He provides therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples, delivers executive functioning and life skills coaching, and leads youth programming grounded in Positive Youth Development principles. He develops trauma-informed programming for neurodiverse and vulnerable youth and works closely with families, educators, and clinicians to ensure students receive coordinated, culturally responsive care. His coaching focuses on the skills students need most, including organization, time management, emotional regulation, task initiation, and goal-setting.
Carlos is bilingual in English and Spanish and has specialized training in crisis and resilience, family intervention models, and support strategies for students with NVLD. He is committed to expanding access to high-quality care for young people and families in meaningful and practical ways.
Every partnership begins with a conversation. Dorothea will connect with your team to understand your student population, the resources already in place, and the specific gaps you are hoping to address. From there, we work collaboratively to design a partnership model that fits your school.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you are looking for a clinician to support your counseling team, an executive functioning program for students, ongoing staff consultation, or a broader mental health partnership, we can build something that is responsive to your needs.
