Hello, I am Alyssa, ...and I believe it is possible for you to move forward and live. My passion is to inspire people as they progress and develop through life. As a skilled counselor, I meet each person at the point of their emotional needs in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment, grief, and loss. I encourage clients to Identify how their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions impact their emotional healing and progression. I believe in offering transparency and unconditional positive regard as each client journeys toward wellness. How much better might you feel tomorrow if you begin today? Your best self is waiting.
During the first session, the initial assessment will occur. Moving forward, I will work with you towards developing self-regulation and coping skills for your emotional toolbox. As you become comfortable in applying these mental health best practices, we will reevaluate your therapeutic session timeline.
I have served as an inspirational public speaker who values the process of transparency, effective communication, mental health, and self-care. I have spoken at conferences, corporations, community centers, women’s shelters, faith-based events, public/private/charter school systems, and institutions of higher learning with the goal of fostering environments of wellness.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy, also known as CBT, as a form of talk therapy. Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy, allows me to aid my clients in becoming aware of non-productive thinking, how they view difficult situations, and identifying best practices for them to use.
I use acceptance and commitment therapy, also known as ACT, to aid my clients in processing the value of mindfulness. This encourages clients to commit to staying focused on the here and now, while accepting unconditional positive regard.
I use dialectical behavior therapy, also known as DBT, when my clients are experiencing challenges with regulating their emotions, presenting self-destructive, or when their triggers prevent them from living in the present.
