Stuck. Overwhelmed. Lost. Frustrated. Ashamed. These are deeply painful emotions. I work with adults aged 18 and up, and these are just some of the words that many of my clients use to describe the pain that prompted them to seek therapy. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, or are in a difficult relationship. You might be struggling to integrate faith or God into your experience, or maybe you prefer therapy that doesn't involve God at all. Maybe, you've just been feeling sad, disconnected, worried, or "out of it." No matter what, we usually want the same things: freedom. Peace. A deeper sense of and confidence in who we are.
I believe healing occurs in the context of our relationships with ourselves and those around us, and I work with clients to achieve this through exploring their concerns together, not as an “expert,” but rather as a “co-journeyer,” bearing witness and holding calm space in sessions for this to happen in a way that allows clients to feel safe and understood.
The primary tool I bring to sessions is my authentic self...who I am at my core. When a client enters the therapy space, they bring their authentic self as well. This forms the basis of the therapy process, and allows the exciting part—growth and healing—to begin. If you feel ready to proceed with therapy, I would be honored to join you in your journey!

I've just begun therapy with Alyssa Sangrey. I don't feel confident doing any assessment of her yet. She seems very professional and qualified. She is also pleasant, respectful and kind.

My first and best therapist. Alyssa is very kind, sweet and patient with me. She breaks down and goes into details with the parts I struggle with myself after a breakup. I’m surprised and impressed to discover how these parts affect me and interconnect with each other. Although I’m still struggling with myself, I can see myself improving with Alyssa’s help. Thank you Alyssa

As someone new to therapy, I was a bit apprehensive at the start, but Alyssa was wonderful at making me feel comfortable. She is a warm and kind person, and she always validated what I was feeling or thinking. She has provided me with several tools and resources that I have found very helpful. Thank you!!

Alyssa is such a kind person. She finds a way to help that best suits you. She had helped me unravel things, and also piece things together in a way I didn’t think they could relate. She is there for you, and is so helpful in getting you started on a journey that can be difficult to begin.
