Welcome! I am so grateful you found yourself here. My name is Alissa and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Beginning therapy can be a stressful experience and I am here to help make our time together a healing and transformative journey. I have a background in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, couples therapy, women's issues, and men's issues. Most recently, I have completed courses to become certified in treating personality disorders.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will ask you questions to get a better understanding as to why you are seeking treatment at this time in your life. What symptoms are you experiencing and what goals would you like to work on in treatment?
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a lot of psychoeducation in my treatment process because I believe in strengthening your understanding of your own mental health. I draw from a cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused modality with a strong base in empathy and validation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I do have a passion for helping young adults trying to discover their identity as well as helping mothers navigate post-partum life and all that it brings.
