Alissa meets me where I am and is a great listener who notices the little things that come up for me during each session. She knows when to nudge me to discovery deeper meaning and when it feels right to go to those places. She is caring and attentive and has been a great source of encouragement and in boosting my self-esteem, giving me the confidence I need to face life's challenges.

Sad that she’ll be leaving BetterHelp - Alissa was great! Loved her guidance and she never judges. Wish we got into more intense healing therapy like promised, but I can definitely say I feel better mentally since having her as a therapist.
