Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Pennsylvania with over 30 years of experience in working in all aspect of mental health treatment. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know those with whom I am working and focusing on the areas that are important to you. While we will work together to set goals and a treatment plan, I believe that you as the client are making the important decisions about how therapy will benefit you. I see my job as empowering you.

I work with adults who carry a lot—responsibility, expectations, and often unresolved trauma—while appearing strong and capable to everyone else. If you struggle with chronic anxiety, burnout, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of pressure, my work is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and heal at a deeper level. With over 15 years of clinical experience, my approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in attachment-based and evidence-based care. I specialize in complex and developmental trauma, as well as high-functioning anxiety and burnout—particularly for clients who have spent years coping, over-functioning, or putting others first. Therapy with me is collaborative, gentle, and deeply intentional. I focus on creating safety and trust first, because meaningful trauma work can only happen when your nervous system feels supported. From that foundation, we work to understand how past experiences continue to shape your anxiety, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety in the present. Clients often describe my style as warm and supportive, while also appropriately challenging. I will meet you with compassion and respect, and I will also help you notice patterns that keep you stuck so that real, lasting change is possible.

I also have extensive experience supporting children and teens who have experienced trauma, attachment difficulties and exhibit behavioral challenges. I approach children and youth with evidenced based treatment approaches combined with family involvement for continuity of care.

HI! I am Alisha and I am passionate about helping others navigate through their life journey. I’ve had eight years of learning experiences with diverse demographics including children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working to empower clients and advocate through mental health systems. I encourage clients to understand that self-concept plays a vital role in how the client sees themselves and their interactions through life.

Hello! I have always enjoyed helping others for as long as I can remember as early as age 9. I love to see their responses in the learning process. I have experienced trauma, witnessed violence, anxiety, have been in an unhealthy alcoholic relationship and have been a sensitive being my entire life not understanding why. My saving Grace has always been movement. I loved the way it made me feel-free and calm, and movement has always been part of my life even during 4 pregnancies and keeping up with my 4 children, and now my grandchildren. Over time, I was introduced to mindfulness, stress reduction and relaxation (which I didn’t realized how much I needed) and Yoga. This allowed me to calm my mind and focus. My career goal was Physical Education teaching and when I graduated (after have 4 children), teacher jobs were scarce. I was introduced to Behavioral Health and here I am now, 25 years later.

I have 20 years of experience working as a clinician. In my practice, I am an empathetic therapist who has successfully treated both adults and couples.

Hi, I'm a therapist with over thirty years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families and historically getting positive results.
