LICSW, 10 years of experience
Hi, I am Alissa. Have you ever felt trapped in your own brain? Feel like your emotions are running away with your life? I help individuals to learn how to control their thoughts and emotions so they are able to enrich their lives with relationships, stress, and emotional balance. I am a LCSW who specializes in anxiety, Borderline, depression, relationship issues, and emotional distress among other things. I love to work with the strength base module and a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model. I believe that therapy is a relationship and that trust is important in order for you to get what you want and need out of therapy.
In our first session we will fill out the intake form and walk through it together with the main focus being to get to know each other and start to build a relationship.
I feel my biggest strengths are helping individuals to see things from a different perspective allowing them to decrease their emotional reactions and have more clarity when they make decisions.
I really enjoy working with women, age 18-65 the most
I ran a DBT group for a few years. I love to use DBT skills in my own life and helping other to learn how to change their pattern of thinking.
