I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor with over 10 years of experience working as a social worker. I have worked with clients with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, isolation, trauma, substance abuse, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD.

My counseling style is warm and laid-back. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect. My approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-based cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic counseling. We will develop a plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Early days yet but been a helpful experience so far and look forward to experiencing it more. Appreciate that I will have good and bad days but it's how I recover from the bad days that matters so it doesn't affect me as much as it has in the past

Alysha has been a phenomenal support system! I really appreciate her ability to actively listen, challenge my perspectives, and offer constructive advice. She’s been incredibly helpful as I’ve moved through big transitions in my life. Looking forward to continuing my growth journey with her help!

Alysha is amazing. She is very laid back and kind, the best kind of listener. But also gives constructive advice that has really been helping me overcome my anxieties and self-doubt.

Absolutely amazing. I never thought I would be connected with someone who truly made me feel like they understood what was going on in my head. Best therapist I have had.

She has been great so far.

Alysha has been a great counselor to work with. I feel that we share a lot in common (moms raising children) which makes explaining where I am coming from easy and comfortable, and she has a calm, humble, trusting nature which I appreciate. She carries with her much knowledge and professionalism, and has a way of weaving in great tools and techniques within each session, which I also appreciate!

Alysha is a wonderful, patient and keen listener. She surprises me and teaches me more about myself and how to cope. There are some vastly important things about myself that I have never known or realized until I started working on myself with Alysha. I feel confident that slowly and surely, we will be able to work together to sort out my past and manage my mental health.

Alysha is positive and constructive. She is able to let me talk but also gracefully cut in when she needs to share an insight or guide me through a process. She is considerate and non-threatening with credibility and expertise.

Great so far!
