I’m Alisha Ladha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in providing support for grief and loss, anxiety, life transitions, and building self-esteem, among other areas. My approach is rooted in humanistic therapy, creating a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, discover your strengths, and work toward personal growth. Together, we’ll collaborate to help you achieve your goals and build a fulfilling, balanced life.
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll feel comfortable and heard. We’ll take time to discuss what brings you to therapy and explore any concerns or goals you may have. I’ll make sure to listen attentively and ask questions to better understand your experiences. Our focus will be on building trust and setting a foundation for our work together. There’s no pressure or rush—just a safe space for you to begin your journey toward healing and growth at your own pace.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I’m a good listener, and I genuinely care about helping others navigate their challenges and achieve their goals. What makes me unique is my humanistic approach to therapy, which centers on empathy, respect, and empowering clients to explore their own potential. My life experiences have taught me how to deal with adversity, resilience, and the importance of self-compassion, and I bring this understanding into my work with clients, guiding them through their own healing and growth.
I am best positioned to serve individuals who are navigating life transitions, dealing with grief or loss, or experiencing anxiety and stress. I work well with clients seeking to improve their self-esteem and emotional well-being, and those who are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore their feelings and experiences. My approach is particularly helpful for individuals who value a collaborative, empathetic, and holistic approach to therapy, as we work together to uncover their strengths and create meaningful change in their lives.
My experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has shown me how powerful it can be in helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns that impact their emotions and behaviors. In my private practice, I plan to use CBT to guide clients in developing practical strategies to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. By fostering a collaborative and structured approach, I aim to empower clients to build resilience, achieve their goals, and create lasting positive change in their lives.
My experience with attachment-based therapy has deepened my understanding of how early relationships shape our emotional well-being and patterns of connection. In my private practice, I plan to use this approach to help clients explore the impact of their past attachments, heal relational wounds, and develop healthier, more secure connections. By creating a safe, compassionate environment, I aim to support clients in strengthening their relationships and fostering greater emotional resilience.
My experience with Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) has taught me the importance of cultivating self-compassion and addressing feelings of shame or self-criticism that often underlie emotional struggles. In my private practice, I plan to use CFT to help clients build a kinder relationship with themselves, reduce self-judgment, and foster emotional healing. By integrating mindfulness and compassion-based techniques, I aim to support clients in developing inner strength and resilience as they navigate life’s challenges.
My experience with grief therapy has taught me how vital it is to create a safe, compassionate space for individuals to process their loss and find their own path toward healing. In my private practice, I will use grief therapy to support clients as they navigate the complex emotions that come with loss, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a significant life change. Together, we’ll explore their unique journey, honor their experiences, and work toward rediscovering hope and meaning in life.
My experience with humanistic therapy has been deeply rewarding, as it focuses on fostering self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment. In my private practice, I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. Using this approach, I’ll help clients explore their unique experiences, tap into their inner strengths, and navigate life’s challenges with compassion and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward uncovering their full potential and creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I sought therapy with Alisha because I had anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and personal growth I wanted to work on. She provided insight into understanding and reframing my thoughts and provided techniques to help me learn healthier coping mechanisms. Alisha made such a positive impact on mental health in such a short period of time. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist who provides a safe space to express yourself and provides valuable tools for growth.
