Alisha Edmiston, LCSW

Alisha listens and offers excellent insights and advice, while affirming my personal choices, and my power to make those choices. I feel more grounded, strong, and aware, so that I can deal with negative emotions, knowing that they are temporary, perhaps due to temporary situations. Alisha has been a great guide on this journey.

I felt supported by Alisha right away because she takes the time to respond to messages, she sends video messages and helpful articles or podcasts and I really feel like she has a lot of tools and resources that she is constantly sharing with you. She reads your journal entries and takes the time to ask you about them. I have only had a few sessions but I’m very content and feel like she is very professional.

Alisha is thoughtful in her answers and really knows how to pull me out of the current experience to look at it from another point of view. I do not believe this is a skill everyone has, licensed therapist or not. The activities she shares weekly are always unique and thought provoking. It is my first counseling experience, and I fully trust Alisha to be able to get me to think about where I need to be in my life to feel and be successful.

Written on Apr 07, 2020 after therapy with Alisha for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions

Alisha is a smart, professional counselor who has already made an impact on my life. She knows how to narrow in on what your problems are and draw them out, further discussing and dissecting them. She genuinely cares and makes the effort to help you as best as she can. A wonderful person and someone I highly recommend speaking with, should you need help.

Written on Mar 25, 2020 after therapy with Alisha for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and career difficulties

I have had dozens of therapists in my life and Alisha ranks up at the very top. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the very latest in brain research and psychological approaches. She uses a variety of techniques and resources to match precisely my particular needs. She is completely approachable and empathetic but also pragmatic and professional. I feel heard and cared for, and she gives me practical strategies to deal with my troubles. I am happy with my choice to use BetterHelp and with their pairing of Alisha and I way beyond my most optimistic expectations. I am encouraging my kids and friends to try BetterHelp. And now more than ever, in these times of social distancing, I’m so very grateful to have this therapy from the safety of my own home.

Alisha has been a terrific help even though we've only been working together for a short time. She is willing to talk to me on the phone and she always gives me actionable "homework" for the coming week. She checks in with me regularly and responds promptly to my messages. Finding her has been a huge relief and I feel very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and empathetic ear.

Alisha is honestly amazing. She is the perfect mixture of an educated professional, and a friend. She is extremely attentive, always knows what's going on, and what to say. Not only that, but she often tends to try to get you to answer your own questions, through helping you dig deep inside yourself. This is always done in a super natural way. Honestly I would recommend everyone to sign up with her

Written on Apr 30, 2019 after therapy with Alisha for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues

Best decision I made on BH was to go with Alisha as my counselor! I wanted someone with a 'no frills' approach to problems/challenges, and can provide practical solutions. Unlike other therapists (and I've been through a few), working with Alisha I feel I have clear goals and objectives to aim for and her responses are clearly well thought out and actionable. Very practical advice that I applied and saw results in my life with. 5 star experience. Look forward to working with her in the future again. Thanks, Alisha!

I was assigned a different counsellor but chose Alisha because I preferred her profile. It was a good call because over the past 2 months she had helped me deal with issues that have been bottled up for 45 years. Her gentle, probing questions made me think and I've applied the exercises she has taught me. It is not hyperbole to say she has changed my life.

Alisha was wonderful. She has a lot of expertise and knows how to get to the bottom of what is causing the issues that are occurring for you. She will treat you and your issues with respect and allow you to speak as much or as little as you like. She will find the best ways to tackle the issues at hand and will also allow you to be the judge of which one fits your needs most. Making the decision to come to this website to better my mental health took a lot of courage on my part and Alisha definitely reinforced my judgement with the amount of attention and care she showed throughout the duration of the counseling services. Thanks Alisha!

Alisha has been very supportive and gives me actionable insights and activities. This is my first time reaching out for support and I am so happy I did! The medium has also worked well for me - more of an ongoing conversation via chat than a once weekly session. It allows me to do more self reflection and get faster feedback. She’s helped me realize a lot of things I could not get to just by reading books or reflecting on my own She’s super welcoming too!
