“I had been in therapy for years before I found Alyssa (found her because she specializes in OCD). She suggested we try incorporating body scans and breathwork into our therapy sessions together to help my OCD symptoms. I will admit…I was a little weary of it at first. Seemed kinda "airy fairy” as she says lol. But with her support, she went with me at my own pace and I really genuinely feel like it helped. I still love seeing her for weekly therapy years later. It’s like a young cool hip friend to process life with, who also happens to throw some art prompts and breathing exercises into your therapy sessions. Just trust her!”

“My son started seeing Alyssa for generalized anxiety and she has helped him come up with great tools and strategies to manage his anxiety. He looks forward to his sessions with her and her communication style is perfect for all of us to best help my son get what he needs. She is knowledgeable about the school process and assists in every way possible to ensure my son’s mental health is being properly cared for. We all appreciate her upbeat nature and positive attitude always!”

“Alyssa began seeing my child just as he was diagnosed with ADHD. He also had generalized anxiety. Alyssa created a very welcoming environment where he could talk and start to understand his feelings and work through his reactions. My son loves talking to Alyssa and I feel great that he has a supportive adult with whom to learn coping techniques and strategies. She is an essential part of our family now! I am so grateful for her for helping him through a difficult time, she has helped calm him and ensure he is happier and healthier with a mental and personal resilience he didn’t have before.”

“Alyssa works with two of our adopted children in therapy. Our daughter was very angry and anxious. She has gone from having daily outbursts at school to being selected as outstanding student, even being called a classroom helper. Our youngest son, is developmentally delayed, has gone from screaming and yelling to verbalize his needs and his teacher consistently says he is a great advocate for himself. Alyssa gives them the tools they need to communicate their needs and feelings while getting them to see their participation in the situation with empathy and compassion. Alyssa has joined daily emails with teachers and offered to advocate for our kids in their IEP meetings. She is definitely a positive in all of our lives.”

“From the moment you walk into her space, you feel a warm and welcoming energy. Alyssa made me feel like she was on my team and did not make me feel bad as a parent. She worked with me and my husband to come up with solutions to help my child’s behavior instead of shaming me. We are forever grateful for her help.”
