Greetings and Welcome,
Thank you, in advance, for this esteemed consideration. Choosing a therapist can be as daunting as the inner work itself and one of my initial goals is to always honor the courageous decision to allow someone "in" (which can often be a difficult step to overcome). It takes a certain amount of strength to recognize when a little assistance may be needed to get through life's challenges (recent or long-standing), and I would welcome the opportunity to be a helpful, therapeutic ally.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alisha P Beverly. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Alisha is incredible. She has been so helpful through a bunch of ups and downs, always offer support and interesting insights, and challenges me to test my assumptions. I have learned so much from her and am so grateful to have been connected with her.

I have enjoyed working with Alisha. Her focus and asking of questions and quick read of situations, challenges and history - and how that has impacted current actions, has been very insightful. She was also very positive - but didn’t shy from naming what she saw as issues that need to be addressed. Her demeanor is also very warm and within a few sessions, she felt like a trusted confidant. I enjoyed working with her and took her recommendations to seek focused help with other specialists, which again speaks volumes on her interest in doing what’s best for the client. Thanks Alisha for all the breakthroughs!

Alisha has been amazing to work with while I’ve been navigating workplace challenges, life changing challenges and self negative talk. She’s intentional with her listening and feedback. Speaking with her feels like a safe place for me to be vulnerable.

Alisha has been my “ sounding block” for over 14+ months, and aside from the Covid issues, my family dynamics have been tumultuous, with personal, health issues and business problems galore. Had it not been for Alisha’s genuine understanding of my very complicated life, and her encouragement for self care during each drama, I doubt that my mental health would have arrived at this rather stable point without her advice. Her calm and humorous undertones match my personality . For goodness sake, I can not say enough positive aspects about working with Alisha. She is a good listener, and her criticisms of my behavior are never condescending, but extremely constructive.
I am a better version of me, than I was before I started with Alisha.
