Most kind, considerate and patient therapist I have come across. I feel like we just click and she is so easy to talk to. I am so fortunate to find a therapist I am comfortable with and feels like she understands what I’m going through and actually wants to help me find ways to cope and move on with some of my issues. So thankful for Alissa I would recommend her to anyone. I hope she can be my therapist for as long as possible!
