Alisa Sharoikina is a very warm and engaging therapist who has made me very comfortable in sharing my most intimate thoughts and life experiences. She is very easy to open up to and has offered me constructive ways of dealing with issues I face. I was not looking for merely a person to listen to me and witness me, but someone who could offer some expert and informed guidance and ways of coping with past traumas and current situations. I feel that I have found a perfect blending of both in Alisa. I would highly recommend her.
