I am licensed in Alabama with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & intimacy related issues. I practice from a person centered approach that incorporates a trauma informed biopsychosocial model of care. My main goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for my clients to show up as their authentic selves where they can explore the depths of their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement, shame, or expectations.
As psychologist Carl Rogers said,
"When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good. . . .
When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.
How confusions which seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard. "

Alisha is a fantastic therapist. I’ve been to a few different therapists but nobody understands and gets to the true core of problem as quickly and easily as Alisha does. She is a very good listener, asks the right questions and gives very valuable feedback. Anyone would be lucky to have Alisha as their therapist.

She listens. She understands. She does not judge. She asks to have better understanding.

Ive been doing therapy with Alisha for a few months now, and they've helped me in so many ways. Not only handling my grief and trauma issues, but also in helping me truly learn about myself. They truly go out of their way to provide me the help and resources I need to be a better version of myself.
