Superbills can be provided upon request for other insurances.** Hi I'm Dr. Alysha! By creating a safe place for processing and expression, I support persons on their unique healing journey to strengthen authenticity and resiliency. My overall approach uses psychodynamic talk therapy, offering space to those wanting to explore new perspectives, reframes, and change. When we internalize or suppress our emotions and experiences of adversity, we may be faced with lasting emotional trauma that impacts our entire wellbeing. However there is power in validation and relatability and that is why I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based method, with consideration for relational, intersectional, and social justice contexts. I don’t consider myself an advice giver, but instead I will collaborate with you to recognize your choices and help you make the best one for yourself. My objective is for you to feel empowered by reducing emotional burdens, developing coping strategies and identifying resources, and enhancing your strengths. You will be treated with respectful, objective, non-biased assistance. My belief is that with the right amount of support, guidance, and compassion, our capabilities are endless.

Experience

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #119549, with a Doctorate and Master’s degree in MFT, practicing since 2015. I’ve worked in several settings including community health centers, residential substance abuse facilities, group homes, and currently in private practice, seeing individuals, couples, and families. I strive to empower the mental wellness of everyone, but what brings me the most joy is working with Black and Brown persons from diverse and intersectional backgrounds. I am passionate about teaching how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all interact, and helping people develop strategies to increase their wellbeing and overall quality of life.  I have presented and discussed mental health and wellness in numerous settings, such as town hall meetings, health and community settings or support groups, high school and college settings, and company retreats. I identify as a Black woman therapist and value authenticity, diversity and inclusion, individuality, and growth.
