Hi, I'm Dr. Alysha! Are you ready to Empower your Mental Health? By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change.

I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead, I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself.

You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance.

Hello, I’m Deric Placker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Lancaster, California. Beginning my career in 2018, I have dedicated my life to helping individuals break unhealthy behavioral loops, navigate complex life transitions, and discover their full potential. I absolutely love this career, and there is nothing more rewarding to me than watching my clients grow, heal, and reclaim their personal agency. What makes me uniquely easy to relate to is that I haven’t always sat in the therapist's chair. I spent the early part of my life working hard as a miner. However, my path shifted permanently in 2009 when I suffered a stroke and subsequently fell into a deep, consuming depression. During that dark period, my own therapist threw me a lifeline and inspired me to pull myself out of the spiral. That pivotal experience changed my life, driving me to go back to school so I could dedicate my life to helping others find their way back from rock bottom.

As a dedicated therapist, I am committed to empowering you on your journey toward a fulfilling and hopeful life. I specialize in a supportive yet direct approach, helping you uncover the roots of your challenges with expertise in areas like anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using an integrative methodology tailored to your unique needs, I draw from EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to equip you with the tools for personal growth, goal achievement, and discovering deeper purpose

Hi! I'm a therapist with almost 3 decades of experience. But, I've never worked with YOU before and that's what I'm looking forward to! Getting to know your strengths and vulnerabilities and helping you to articulate what's important and meaningful to you in this journey of self discovery excites me. I deeply appreciate the courage it takes to show up and be willing to explore one's psyche, struggles and goals. Thru my own experience, personally and professionally, I've discovered that there is meaning and value WITHIN the struggle, itself. That meaning can help transform how you hold onto that experience. I will engage with you on this path, helping you to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Creating a more positive inner life can impact your outer world - in relationships, parenting, work and self identity.

Change is hard, not having the tools, direction and support make the process even harder. I can help you identify areas that may be keeping you stuck. I also provide wellness and behavioral health coaching in addition to traditional therapy. The atmosphere that is created in the therapy session is one of warmth, safety, and acceptance. I have a straightforward, interactive approach to treatment. I am passionate about my work and strongly believe in the healing benefits of therapy. Reach out to me, I’d love to help you help heal, connect, & thrive. Together we can create the life you want.
