First session

In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and develop a rapport. Afterwards, we will identify specific challenges you're facing and create a game plan on how to tackle the challenges. This will help me create a plan on what to focus on during follow-up sessions.

Strengths

Having worked with clients in an inpatient setting for 7 years, I have sharpened my skills in communication, building rapport, open-mindedness, patience, and more. I am easily able to connect with clients and often utilize humor to help build my rapport.

Ideal clients

I best serve clients who struggle with mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, personality disorders and/or substance abuse.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have utilized CBT in my years of counseling with substance use disorder and mental illness. I use CBT to help clients change their thinking patterns and to help identify and manage their cognitive disorders and negative core beliefs.

Motivational Interviewing

In addition to CBT, I utilize Motivational Interviewing to help clients find where they are at in their change process and how to find motivation to move forward with change.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

I utilize ERP for clients with OCD and other conditions similar to OCD such as Illness Anxiety Disorder.

She is very welcoming and open. She brings great energy and understanding to appointments that eases anxiety and makes you feel comfortable to open up.

Even though it was only our first session, and it was mostly a consultation to find more information about me, Alyssa was very patient. She spent more time listening rather than trying to talk over me to move me along in the process.
