“You can’t stop the waves but you can learn to surf!”
Children & adolescents face a myriad of challenges in a turbulent, ever-changing world, adversely affecting their emotional well-being, personal development, relational and academic success. If your child/teen is suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, difficulty adjusting to recent changes/life transitions, self-regulation or behavioral problems, identification and expression of feelings, lack of resiliency, social skills development or other related mental health concerns, I welcome your call.
“Anything is possible with Alissa!”- (client, 8 years old).
My therapeutic approach begins with the age and presenting needs of each unique child in my care. Building a trusting, caring, supportive and 100% authentic relationship is my first priority. As a trauma-informed counselor I utilize talk, play, art and sandtray therapies, CBT techniques, growth mindset, self-regulation, & calming strategies, among others.
My passion for working with children/teens stems from a natural ability to connect with youth in a safe, accepting, non-judgemental, warm and inclusive manner. I believe every child has an innate set of strengths. With the healing power of counseling we can turn potential into capability so your child can live a more joyful, successful and fulfilling life.
